No Regeneration is incredibly annoying to run as you’ll have to drop a Flask for a Mana Flask. – Some multimod pieces can be a tad annoying to acquire Map Modifiers to be Avoided – 2-Button build – you need to spam both to clear maps + Really solid at pushing clear-speed on league starts Cons + Ridiculous single target & clear on relatively limited gear + Does very potent DPS on bosses while being durable + Functions on very cheap/accessible gear If you’re looking for something that is fairly durable, excels at clearing maps and kills bosses at a decent pace while being nearly impossible to kill, this Essence Drain variation is definitely what you’re looking for! Build Summary Pros and Cons Pros The build runs a single Unique item which is easily obtainable from killing normal Atziri, and most of its Rare items are literally just some resistances, Life and a benchcraft. The best part about tackling the build in this way is that almost all your gear is self farmable or craftable and can easily be purchased for relatively cheap as well. All of these defenses, layered on top of each other, will make it borderline impossible for you to die. The most optimal defensive setup requires you to go for Atziri's Step and a Thread of Hope to allocate Phase Acrobatics, but that most likely was a little bit too far-fetched so I ended up being happy with running capped Block & Spell Block, Energy Shield on Block, 31/47 Dodge, over 50% Chance to Evade and a total Health Pool of almost 9,000. So, rather than grabbing that 10% or so extra damage, I went all out and stacked as many defenses as possible. The skill / build archetype was not made to be a top tier damaging build, but focuses on doing its damage rather safe and maintaining its top tier clear speed perk. I feel like scaling Essence Drain out of control through investing in the most nutty perfect items to do what is, in a best case scenario, about 10-15% more damage while giving up survivability will just result in you playing a build that still doesn’t do top tier damage but feels more squishy than it should. While there is a ton of Essence Drain content out there, I feel like a lot of it focuses on non-optimal things. When built correctly, it excels in clear speed, killing bosses, and staying alive. It is generally perceived well because of its potential in all areas of the game. IntroductionĮssence Drain is a widely-recognized and appreciated build by a large chunk of the community. I think ED is probably the best starter for 3.15. Sure, you’re no longer Ailment Immune and you can’t rely on Flasks as heavily but this goes for just about every build. We still have a huge amount of Energy Shield on block, Trickster was untouched unlike other Ascendancies meaning it goes up in power level, the support gems we’re running are “fine” when put into context and there’s nothing else which got particularly nerfed about this build.

I would definitely swap out the Basalt Flask for a Stibnite Flask as Basalt got completely crushed.Ī lot of builds got nerfed tremendously but Essence Drain honestly survived the patch notes rather well. Flasks were incredible for this build and have been gutted a bit.At this point, I would recommend just forgoing Ailment Immunity and getting a Heat Flask over the Curing suffix.

A potential fix to this is dropping the Command of Steel and anointing Crystal Skin & changing a decent chunk of gearpieces while you’re at it. We lose elemental ailment immunity like every other ascendancy / build loses it.These are the changes I would undoubtedly make to this build: Build updates will be prioritized in order of their popularity. This means that the information in this paragraph always supersedes anything written in the guide. Everything outside of this paragraph will stay untouched for 3.15 for now and will be updated accordingly over the course of the next weeks. Therefore, I will give all my guides a pass and point out the obvious changes.
#Poe cast when dmg taken software#
Many of the changes that came with PoE’s 3.15 Expedition league launch have pretty severe gameplay impact, which is incredibly hard to predict without having the appropriate software updated (like Path of Building). While I generally put a lot of emphasis on updating all of my guides before a new league starts, I have decided against doing so at the moment.
