ED/Contagion Oracle

Anyone able to get an ED contagion Oracle to work? I followed the top DPS Oracle build on POE Ninja and it still does not feel right or do enough damage.

I noticed some Path of Exile keywords in this post:

ED - Essence Drain (Wiki)
DPS - Damage per Second

I think I have a pretty solid ED/C build, but for an Uncapped Demon Form Infernalist. If you drop your poe.ninja link,maybe I can suggest something. Also, let me know which specific content you're lacking DPS in.

You can also check out my build, but keep in mind I'm playing through Infernal Flame, not mana. That makes the approach to certain gear choices and tree nodes pretty specific to this ascendancy.

Siege Cascade/Hailstorm Rounds seems to be good this league

I've always looked down on siege cascade for how shitty and clunky the skill is, so I decided to try it out this league and to my surprise I'm coping it. **So how does it work?** Siege Cascade does extra 100%base(146% fully corrupt) against Immobilised enemies, hence the use of the skill Freezing mark and Hailstorm rounds for 2nd swap to freeze the enemy. It also works wonder with the spirit skill Mirage Archer shooting more Siege Cascade making the damage even bigger PoE Ninja: [https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/AEgliid-0254/character/RottenVagigi](https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/AEgliid-0254/character/RottenVagigi)

Is there a reason everyone uses Comet with CoC?

The +1 second to Total attack time means that energy costs for Comet are quite a bit higher than what they would be for something like Frostbolt or Spark or whatever. I know it's a big splashy skill, but wouldn't it be better to run something like Ice Nova, Frostbolt, or Spark? Literally any other spell that doesn't get the total attack time penalty? I did run the numbers, and assuming you're shotgunning with spark and nothing is infused or supported by other gems, Spark does >3x more single-target damage per energy cost. I do see people using spark, but poe.ninja has 77% of CoC users using Comet. Edit: The main crux of the argument is that Comet has an energy cost penalty due to how energy costs are calculated. Any ability with "+X to Total attack time" has that amount included in the energy cost at a 2x penalty. See the tooltip: https://poe2db.tw/Energy#Acronym So the more succinct question is, why are people spending 300 energy casting a single comet when they could be casting spark for 70 and casting it 4.2x more often? Comet does about the same average damage as Spark on a single target (assuming all 9 projectiles hit). Edit 2: Nevermind, I can't read. Spark can't shotgun, so it's single target is ass. Frostbolt is then the next best example I could find, but it's not as obviously better or worse, so I'll test it out. Thanks everyone!

Favorite Twink?

After your first main has been put to bed or lucky drop just sold - what has been your favorite build to play with the best gear you can give it through the campaign? My favorite has albeen mercenary, with a few good items blasting is a breeze and fun to play… Same feels with minions but they never feel truly OP for me

Full Trial of Sekhemas in Under 5 Minutes - Oracle Build

I didn't expect this league to be faster than last league in terms of clear speed. I got to sort of work with a GGG dev after he watched last league's speedrun which resulted in every single skip getting patched. So we can say for certain that all the remaining skips and tricks are all intended mechanics of Sekhemas. I also cleared Last Flame with this build. The extremely fast sparks were great at just cleaning up entire rooms before anything had a chance to attack you (mostly). Inb4 "but temporalis" - I clear Sekhemas in around 7:30 without tempo, and I did it 4 times in a row on a non-blink character (crossbow infernalist) as well as my Blood Mage wearing Silks of Sand (fake tempo). So while Tempo does significantly improve times, there's nothing stopping the average person from getting sub 8 minute runs without much investment besides some practice. I keep seeing posts saying 15 minutes is fast. Full video guide + build link + POB here (sorry hitting text limit): [https://youtu.be/xYvpup1a5Bo](https://youtu.be/xYvpup1a5Bo)

Only sharts and shoots matter cuz we gotta get there before we have a problem. Effective sharts, effective shoots. Wiping optional.

Trial of Sekhema's Farmer / Last Flame Runner

Outside of Relics, as I know relics do a lot of heavy lifting, whats a good build to run that primarily focuses on Sekhema Farming/Last Flame Running but can also do a little bit of mapping on the side? I've always hated Sekhema's (mainly due to shit relics) though I've been getting better at it to the point now where I can do Level 1 and 2 pretty easily and Lvl 3 being a coin flip as I generally find Level 3 gives me bad RNG on rooms. As a returning player, would there be any recommendations on what to run? I assume its going to be either a Caster (CoC Spark for wall bounce? or Witch Hunter for SorcWard)
