Poe Min-Maxing Best Starter Build 2M DPS Trickster ED Contagion + Bane - HH joined Party

Last 5 days I was trying my best to get enough currency to buy Headhunter and finally on Saturday I was able to buy one. It even had corrupted implicit + increased skill effect duration. Besides putting huge effort to get this belt, I also did my best to min-max this life-based Trickster ED Contagion + Bane build before I try a low life version.Last time I managed to reach 1.5 mil dps, this time I was able to go over 2 mill. I did guardians and Shaper deathless, then put last effort to spawn Uber Elder. I was hoping for one more deathless fight, but I made a mistake and went with full dps, the same setup I used for Shaper. I died 3 times before I finally defeated Uber Elder. Highlights from guardians, shaper, and Uber Elder fight you can see at the end of this video. Pastebin link : https://pastebin.com/yzMyANt5 - my level 92 char, damage = 2 M dot dps ( ED=1.66 M, Bane=404k) Here is a link to my profile on GGG site - https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/blueleila/characters , char name is McRedEDC, in case you wish to check my progress when I haven't published a video update.

In maps, you should use it mostly for Bosses, Legion Generals and rares. Also, if there are 2-3 or more packs of mobs close to each other, instead of casting Bane 2-3 or more times, you can cast one combo of Contagion and Essence Drain. So you would first cast Contagion then follow up with Essence Drain. The main task of contagion is to spread the Essence Drain. If an enemy dies while affected by Contagion, it spreads to other enemies. This is the reason why it is possible to clear several packs of mobs with just one combo or in case of the legion monolith, activate so many enemies. Next skill I use in this build is level 22 Blight, granted by unique gloves. With the help of Spell totem and Multiple Totems support, when I cast blight, it will place 2 totems. To have a max of 3 totems I need to cast this spell twice. On every boss fight, you need to have these totems up, next to the boss, as this will increase your damage for up to 90%. Besides for Bosses, I like to use these totems on rare Legion mobs, to apply slow and give them another target. Also, I found a nice use for those totems inside the mine. When I start encounter at the end of travel node, I cast these totems and follow up with bane. This is fast to cast and makes dealing with those encounters much easier. For movement skill, I use Flame Dash. You can use different if you prefer. For Golem, I use Lightning golem or if i need more life regeneration, I use Stone golem. Both are nice. Last skill I use is Vaal Right. Fire, which increases my spell damage. With this build you can do all maps mods, with the help of mana flask, you can run no regen maps too. For a maximum dps, I am using a standard crafted 6L bow for Essence Drain with a nice Quiver. Main Stats for quiver are life, movement and chance to get Onslaught. If you want more defence you could use 1h weapon and shield For body armour, I use double corrupted Tabula Rasa which makes my Bane and Contagion level 24. To get more damage you could use unique body armour like Cherrubim's Maleficence, though it can be expensive to get the colours you need. If you need more defence you could use armour like The Perfect Form. In case you wish to farm uber elder or maybe offer uber elder boss service where some people invite you with one portal left, 1h weapon, shield and this body armour is the perfect combination. You can farm Uber Elder with my setup too, though depending on your skill you may need more than 1 portal. Major upgrade since last time is Headhunter Belt. The best use for this belt is 4-5 emblems fight if possible in a party of two, where the second player stays close to the middle with a role to reset the encounter. I tried doing my first 5 emblems fights solo without support. I think I was a bit unlucky and got just two bars of rewards. With some practice and party support, in current gear and level, I think I could push for much more loot from this fight. You can see full five emblems fight at the of this video. Beside 5 emblems fights, this belt is good for farming tier 16 maps especially when you need to defeat crazy Legion rare mobs. For bandit reward, you should pick 2 passive points. In case you wish to have more defence you should replace Prolonged Pain with Escape Artist, especially if you use a 1h weapon, shield and The Perfect Form body armour.
