Occultist + Cabalist - Need Devotion Advice?

So, I’m currently using a Occultist + Arcanist as my main, Level 45 or so atm and at the… part after the feast of flesh or whatever in the farm fields. (THe Amalgamation boss?).

I’m using a completely maxed out Bloody Pox, Possession, and now working on maxing out DEE.
(Arcanist stuff is for the passives and mastery for more spirit)

I was wondering- since Bloody Pox does absurd damage (Despite being super dangerous by enraging what you hit with it), what is optimal for boosting it’s damage? Bleed stacking or poison? I’ve been leaning Poison since it synergizes with DEE as well. But if I’ve been dumb, I’d like to know for refunding purposes.

And …what devotions would you folks suggest- since the wiki doesn’t seem to include all the devotions by effect in it.

I’ve been trying to ensure that Pox doesn’t -explode- enemies when I click them, (Which I think is the vit damage), since it doesn’t leave an infectious corpse if they outright burst. But I’m not sure if that’s Vit, or just outright damage.

you can solve this in your game general options setting:

Turn off gore (turns off corpse gibbing); Corpses will then not explode with overkill.

Good devotions are Manticore for acid/poison (also debuff enemy resistances to all), Huntress for more bleed debuff and Rattosh the veilwarden for vitality debuff. It is not good in the long run to prioritize all three of your damage types so try to focus on two of them, one of them being vitality since then you can benefit alot from the heal from Scales of Ulcama and/or Wendigo. Murmur is also good devotion if you with acid

Is the bleed worth buffing due to Pox? I was just wondering what would be ideal to stack with it? Poison & Bleed perhaps or?

Don’t buff three damage types, 2 at most. I also think it is a good idea to include vitality as one of the damage types, because then you can get some heal from a few devotions.
