[3.25] KissMeQuick's Exsanguinate Freeze Explosion Occultist 💀❄️ Starter — T17 — Sim 30 — Uber Bosses

hey I was wondering, why both curse setups on a brand? Should we not be using something else so all 4 curses from gems get applied at the same time?

you can use bane to apply a lot of curses at once but that requires a second six link to work properly, I think the reasoning behind hextouch ele weakness is that the more spells are linked to arcanist brand the longer the delay on all of them being applied is since it casts one linked spell every so often, cycling through all linked spells in order.

Storm brand is also applying culling strike, although putting arcanist brand on a 4 link with three curses and applying cull somehow does open up another socket and ever so slightly increases your damage when fully ramped but increases the delay between set up and full damage.

I think you might be able to squeeze out a tiny bit more damage with a +2 power charge helm although that will cost the vast majority of your spell block since no willclash, and as far as squeezing out as much damage as possible theres always low life (reserve herald of purity with arrogance to get to LL) and pain attunement, while running either petrified blood to make up for some of the lost hit pool or zealotry for even more damage(the crit chance is not that useful but its still another 27ish% more multi, potentially more if your helm is double corrupted for + aoe or aura gems).

Edit: RF/Vaal RF is technically possible but I think you lose more damage rejiggering a graven's build to have the life regen needed to support it, MB versions can probably get away with ruby flask + life regen flask craft and vitality to make up the costs and get another giant multiplier or two (you would need to redo parts of the tree to account for ES being worse than useless and would lose a chunk of survivability as a result but RF is 40% more damage and Vaal RF is another 20% more on top of that for you to pop to delete a boss).

Hey op, i rlly liked your build so i basically decided to entirely pivot towards it.
yet im somehow rlly struggling in t17s, you think you could gimme a tip on how to improve my build? id very much appreciate it. you think i should use a mageblood maybe?. any tip would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance <3.

Hi op! amazing build!

i have finally chanced upon a build that can manage to defeat most content after all this years (or maybe i havent searched enough)

anyway, is there a way to tackle reflect mobs?

Thank you!

Recognize that Kiss may not be checking this anymore but if anyone who has experience the build is around has DPS thoughts I'd appreciate a quick look. Pretty happy overall but don't feel like I have the DPS to tackle all content yet. Looking for recs on what to address next.

Obtain Empower lvl4 and Dialla corrupted +1 to all gems. +1 lvl > +2 duration.
BTW how do you survive without Determination? xD

Usually by using 6 portals! Really I mostly just do easy map strats because I'm not that good. Also this kills stuff so quick as long as my maps are rolled well I can just ignore. Empower 4 is easy and I'll start to save for a +1. I think going 3r 3g would also be a small bit of a bump.

Also swap chain with cold penetration on bosses and tough content like blight ravaged.
Try to snipe double corrupt gloves with Temp.chains + Enfeeble

3 questions:

1. Elemental reflect maps - avoid?

2. Hexproof enemies - avoid?

3. Ultimatum viable?

1. Elemental mastery + pantheon give 100% immune to reflect, but personally I skip it, chosen another pathing.
2. No Holy authority.
3. Ultimatum is quite good with HH.
