FWIW, the new Flame Totem had its low level damage more than doubled, which makes me think most physical spells are gonna have much higher low level dmg more in line with explosive trap (which got nerfed). So instead of Explosive having 5-7x the dps of anything else, it should be about 2-3x now. | ||

Only Occultist needs that stat to be high. But is it useless just by virtue of how good Patient Reaper is? Or because leech is going to be so much better? Recharge is easier on Occultist because of Wicked Ward but I don't have enough ES knowledge to know whether shitty recharge will feel bad or not even with leech+Trickster doing "most" of the work I guess. I've never played Trickster lol, and like 1-2 ES chars in general. | ||

Yeah I've played with that node last league on Occ but I guess I just didn't appreciate how often it was helping. I'll build Trickster focused purely on leech (+Ghost Reaver) and Patient Reaper. Seems more than enough honestly. | ||

Divine Ire is mid-A3, but that one technically works with totems (though they'll likely aim the big beam at a random trash mob).Wave with totem should not work well, since the waves disappear shortly after you cast another one. Meaning you can't have multiple ones at high range, just at close range since they don't immediately disappear. | ||

I'm thinking a whispering ice bosser as a second character to abuse self cast + leech | ||

Cast time will be brought down to 0.35 sec, helps mana issues, and the WO even with damage nerf should clear trash Yeah, no doubt it's going to be a great build. Already worked last league. Also if you're set on playing an ES build, it even works SSF as a starter nowadays if you don't want to rush like a pro and be in maps in 5 hours. Crafting is pretty great these days. Although I would personally always level as mostly life and then use the respec points you're given from quests. | ||

Wanting to try out the new chaos stuff because I like Cold Snap/Vortex Occultist a lot last league but it won't benefit much from the Leech, thinking if I might go someone else to enjoy all that leech. | ||

Either one (or both?) would give the sustain ES really didn't need. You can't leech from DoTs, the es leech on soulrend only applies to the hit damage. | ||
