[3.11] Durimon's Winter Orb Occultist Build, Stronger than EVER, Full Gear Crafting Recipe

1. Occultist Ascendancy nodes + Power charge related DPS boost passive + Void Battery + Militant Timeless Jewel (dominus) = Big DPS Boost
2. 3 curses from passive + ascendancy = DPS Boost for Bosses
3. Cursed enemy explosioin = mapping speed as well as meta-bossing speed (mons summoned by meta-bosses explode damage meta-boss as well
4. over 1300 ~ 1400 es leech + cinderswallow = facetanking boss defense

1. No regen, regen reduced, no leech, ele. reflect --> NO!
2. % chance to avoid ailment --> DPS gets low in this mod because we are using shock and chill mechanics to boost up DPS.

1. make sure you have militant faith jewel with DOMINUS name. Also, you don't need to have % area dmg / % channeling dmg on the jewel. Just either one of them is ok. (none is also ok since what we need is the Key node the jewel makes)

2. The higher cast speed void battery has, the better dps you have.

3. Look for rare gloves with % dmg against chilled enemy with 1 empty suffix. You must have % cast speed while focus mod for bosses.

4. Of course more ES is better overall.

After nerf, WO is not good skill to start with comparing to other fast act clearing skills such as Ball Lightning Mine.

Also, this build's mainly relied on occul ascendancy and passive nodes including all the core unique jewels. This means that for better efficiency and convenience, you have to lvl up as far as you can with better lvling skills and chance all setting at once to WO one.

So I recommend you to use Ball Lightning Mines until lvl 70 ~ 80 for better and faster playing. (You will need Orb of Regret though)

1. Act 1 - 10

First start with any skills until you are done with enemy at the gate quest and get stormblast mine. After you are equipped with Stormblast Mine, set the link as follows:

Stormblast mine - added cold damage support - added lightning damage support - increased critical strike - and any other support you want (those 3 links are already enough up until next step.)

When you reach lvl 28 and get Ball lightning from sever the right hand quest, change gem setting as follows:

ball lightning - blastchain mine support - increased critical strike support - added lightning damage support - trap and mine damage support - slower projectile support

This is the setting you will have until you reach lvl 70 ~ 80

When you are done with clearing all acts, you start lvl up at Foot Hill on Act 9. This place is easiest place to lvl up fast since it does not have any difficult monsters to fight.

Before running foot hill for fast lvling, change your weapon to Tremor 5 link and set the gem as follows:

ball lightning - increased critical strike support - added lightning damage support - trap and mine damage support - slower projectile support

5 link tremor is very cheap and good to lvl up.

2. Passive

To clear acts you will need to have a bit of hp, and to lvl up after clearing all act (lvl 60), you will need at least 2000 hp.

Take least amount of hp nodes on the way or near WO passive. Those hp passive nodes are to be refunded later when you switch to WO setting at once.

When acting, take crit. multi, crit chance, spell dmg nodes first. I usually clear acts with only 900 ~ 1200 hp. More dps helps reduce time of clearing act.

When you reach lvl 70 ~ 80, be equipped with WO all items except the es belt, and set the passive nodes as WO's (regret orb hp nodes you took while lvling and take es nodes)

3. Ascendancy

There is no order at all, because in order for WO function as what you see on my youtube vid, all is needed.

My suggestion is to have 2 of them (forbidden power, profane bloom) open with BL mines before switching to WO.

After switching to WO get rest of 2 (Malediction --> void beacon) open. If ES is not enough for clearing those two, lvl up more and do it when you think you are ready enough.

4. Items that help lvling

Tabula or any other 6 links, Life Spring wands for clearing acts

Tremor staff + any es or hp armour

6. Misc.

Like I said, before you have all the Durimon Setting passive nodes and items, survivability and dps are not as what you see on vid.

The more lvl and passive nodes you have, the more dps and survivablity you get.

Therefore, choose map tiers step by step starting from low tier maps where you can kill monsters and survive well with less ES from passive. Gradually move up to a higher tier seeing if you are ok with current status.
