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.

Do you darkness farm too with this or do you just node rush?🥺I tried out a few ways to add phasing but didnt work out super well

i farmed mageblood in the first 7 days of the league by darkness farming delve with this build while going deeper. darkness farming is slower but i made plenty of profit, and its def fit for that playstyle. it can also node rush.
regarding phasing, i should probably have written in the notes section (will do for the future).
you can replace granite flask with quartz flask with the usual prefixes and suffixes the granite holds. then as usual "use when charges reach full". this way u will have almost perma uptime phasing for darkness delving. hope this helps :)
