[3.10] Death's Oath CI Occultist (RETIRED)

"

can this build turn to magic found ?

You can use x2 Ventor's and Goldwyrm but that's about it. Also you need really good ventors to fit in the resistances on top of quant. Thankfully you don't need life on them.

I don't think Sadima's is worth losing the damage from Allelopathy.

Can't replace Impresence for Bisco's or a Spinefuse, we don't much unreserved mana left and we lose attributes from the onyx base.

You need really good belt and shield to fit in Strength and resistances and you lose about 1.5k es, but MF should work.

How does this build fair in incursions, where the mobs typically have more HP and a lot more chaos resistance?

It's actually doing pretty well in incursions. The death aura is not enough to start the explosions tho, you need the blight from the gloves. But i have to say, my gear is nowhere near perfect and for that, i am pretty happy.

all in all super fun build to play, clears maps up to 12-13 pretty well. i'm trying to get a 6-link body now to get essence drain working for higher bosses.

I'm not playing this build in Incursion so I can't comment on that.

Thank you for answering the question.

Hi I am following your guide but seems to be doing wrong...i die easily even at act 6!! may i know what are gears u used before getting to the required ones?

Check your resistances. I knew before I started getting Strength + resist on gear by lvl 62+ was going to be a challenge. I still have Goldrim equipped ( till 68 ) and Ashrend. Atziri's Mirror is a great boost at lvl 54. BUT - my first death was in Act 6 too - Puppet Mistress. I'd got so used to ES regen and not needing healing potions - and poison dot just went too fast to react. I also had a nightmare time with the Beacon refuelling quest - but those green ghostly mobs are physical damage - so even capped resist don't help. Problem is you can't run away and without much phys defence it's tough. As OP stated your aim is to get to 62+ anyway you can then with your end game gear equipped its a different game. I'm still lvl 61 and using ED / Contagion btw - so not the smoothest ride.

Thanks for the reply..I am also using goldrim... but how do u get high ES and fast ES regen? Can u recommend the gears to use before the end game ones?

You should not be switching to CI till you get good ES gear and the strength to equip Death's Oath. Before that you should be using any gear to get a decent ehp and cap resistances.

For a high ES pool you need decent ES gear, take your time to farm for them using ED and cont. Wicked ward and Vile bastion will get you your ES regen and also help with building a decent ES pool.

Ok , I finally got myself to equip DO, my ES is around 1.5k with discipline up. All my resists are above 100%. I really enjoyed it coz I just shield charge everything...but I have a question, how do u make your DO have that big black cicrcle aura as shown in your video?

That's from a special amulet - Impresence. It has a property Gain Maddening Presence for 10 seconds when you kill a Unique enemy. It won't be needed if you are clearing mob packs quickly. It doesn't help as much on bosses ( though you must get the version which has Chaos Damage and Extra Damage Over Time if you choose to equip one.
