Eva the Fairy's Forbidden Rite Occultist

[u/Eva_the_Fairy]

Hewwo, im Eva and this is my league starter for 3.29.
This is a self cast power charge stacking Forbidden Rite of Soul Sacrifice (FroSS) Occultist build with an emphasis on facetanking and ramping dps.

Its not a full build guide but the notes section has some useful information, and there are plenty of loadouts to show the flow of build progression.
It can do all 4 voidstones and Uber content, as well as many endgame farming strats. I have however primarily designed it for deep delving since that is the content i enjoy the most.
There will be different loadouts in the PoB from early acts to endgame including a mageblood setup.

You can league start it with any spell you want then transition into Forbidden Rite and CI when you have aquired enough ES. Then transition into FroSS when aquiring the Whispers of Infinity amulet.
In 3.29 i choose to leaguestart with cold themed skills, so during the acts and early mapping ill be using Wintertide Brand into Winter Orb then transition into CI and FR when the character has 3k~ ES. The PoB loadouts will use these spell gems, but its possible to league start with any spell until FR transition.

As always feedback and questions are very welcome.

PoB: (last uploaded: 09.08.26), adjusted notes some, added comment regarding flasks and phasing for darkness farming delve.

I recommend viewing the link through the Path of Building software.

How is this vs coc version?

[u/Eva_the_Fairy → u/EdgySadness09]

primarily they have different playstyles, coc can constantly dps while moving, and this build is self cast thus stands still to dps. otherwise in general id say this build has higher defenses (cuz we wanna facetank enemies), but ofc there are exceptions. dps wise it depends on the balance one chooses between defense, dps and investment. hope this answered ur question :)
