Instead, we want to focus on applying Essence Drain (with its 5+ second duration) and then burst the enemy down with Blight. The core gameplay loop of this skill is to throw Contagion onto the enemy and then fire Essence Drain towards those same enemies to then see a chaining plague of chaos damage, which absolutely obliterates entire screens worth of mobs.įor bosses, we don’t really care about Contagion, as its damage is negligible. Don’t pick up Chaos Inoculation until you have at least 4.000 Energy Shield.įor the early game, you should link Essence Drain to Pierce, as that will make it more consistent for us to clear packs. To have all info from this build compressed into one simple character sheet, use this link in the 'import' section.įor early leveling, you can use the Contagion + Blight skills, eventually switching into Contagion + Essence drain (which you get around the time you finish act 1, before Merveil) and Bane in Act 3. Path of Building: A powerful tool for planning/sharing builds. It may stupid to use that, but we prefer much more consistent, weaker, multi-layered defences rather than stronger, inconsistent ones.

After calculating all of those modifiers, we end up with about 36% ES recharge per second, which starts after about 1.7 seconds of not taking damage. It comes with a penalty of 40% less energy shield recharge, which we offset by picking up passives on the tree that increase the recharge rate. This is why we’re going to take the Wicked Ward keystone, which makes recharge uninterruptible if it began in the last 4 seconds. After not taking damage for 2 seconds, you will start rapidly regaining ES until you take damage again - which is its biggest problem, since we really want to benefit from it. Recharge - This is Energy Shield’s ‘default’ way of recovery.Each of the Withered stacks has a duration of 2 seconds, which doesn’t refresh when applying a new one. Wither - This debuff applies 6% increased chaos damage taken to units per stack, up to 15 (90% increased chaos damage taken).Needs investment to do super endgame content Remember that gem levels are the best way to scale the damage of DoT skills.ĭamage over Time skills, unless stated otherwise, cannot: Since most damage over time effects do not stack, having only these two might not be enough for really strong enemies, which is why we use Blight (a stackable, channeled skill). When an enemy dies while affected by Contagion, it spreads to all nearby enemies carrying the Essence Drain debuff alongside it. This is a supplementary skill for ED, which inflicts yet another DoT on our enemies, this time in an area. This might seem bad for a clear skill, since it only hits one projectile that doesn’t even chain or pierce - but that’s where Contagion comes into play. While at least one enemy is under its effect, we regenerate (not leech! remember) 0,5% of its damage every second.
