Shroud of Dreeg.

After the excitation about my newfound Blood Orb of Ch’thon was quickly dismissed by a lapidary “do not bother, it’s useless, especially on a warlock”, I found myself still in the need to play a caster occulist.

I have this set stashed. Need help/suggestions/info/considerations on a build based on those items.

I kind of play witch-blade as a caster but with dual wield, no auto attacks just SS + empowered DEE + Tainted eruption as core with usual supporting skills and running around

Already have a poison WH (not witchblade). My only DoT build. Uses almost all -of Blight greens and Veil of Shadow + CoF to trigger those. SS + NJE only to kill boss faster and for quick travelling. Also use Tainted Eruption. Safe and powerful, but this time i want a more active gameplay. Like spamming DDE as you do with a PRM build?? I NEVER put a single point into DEE, so I do not know anything about it…

DEE spam costs too much energy and its hard to get sufficient regen unlike PRM where you can get regen easily from skills and gear designed for it

Also empowered DEE is a better choice considering how low acid damage is compared to poison, maybe use component skills, items skills etc inbetween

Have you tried Occulist + Shanman?
2 options you can go:

  1. Vita damage - Sigil + Wendigo + Storm Totem
    or
  2. Go bleed build

The problem is that this set is tailored heavily toward DEE. Heavily.
