Notes

-------IMPORTANT NOTES--------
THIS BUILD IS NOT NEW PLAYER FRIENDLY FOR LEAGUE START, IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THE GAME I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BUILD FOR STARTING - START AS TOXIC RAIN AND RESPEC LATER, 
CHECK ZIZ'S GUIDE FOR A GOOD REFERENCE

You can swap to blade blast as soon as blood aquaduct if you really want to (make sure you have 100% poison chance), but HIGHLY recommend getting around 40-50% cast speed on gear first and essence of insanity gloves + source of onslaught

Keep blade fall at lvl 1 for mana cost and spell cascade at level 1 in your blade fall setup (it gives you more damage due to less blade spread)

Occultist is still better for softcore

You can use the covenant chest piece + mings heart if you want more damage

-------Leveling-------

Level with toxic rain + caustic arrow until maps

===SWAPPING TO BLADE BLAST AT MAPS===

THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED BUT IF YOU REALLY REALLY WANT TO USE BLADE BLAST EARLY IN MAPS HERE IS WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

1. 100% chance to poison (use chance to poison support gem)
2. Onslaught Flask
3. Make sure your plague bearer is leveled up

--------Gear--------

Wand 
Step 1: Get low level wands from act 1 vendor (ilvl 12 or 13) to get an easy +1 phys roll with chaos dot multi with harvest phys / chaos reroll / roll with essence of misery

Shield
Essences until you get good life with spell suppression
OR DAWNBREAKER

Helmet
Essences until you get good life + open suffix for ailment duration craft (random helm syndicate unveil)

Body Armour
LOATHING essence until good life + suppression + open prefix for phys taken as fire grav veiled mod
OR COVENANT

Gloves
INSANITY essence until you get good life / suppression, then roll chance to poison with eldritch currency

Boots
Essences til life + suppression, open prefix for onslaught movement speed craft

Amulet
Not really an easy way to craft a +1 amulet, just look for cast speed / +gems / dot multi and life on amulets can use essence of rage or sorrow or something

Shaper Ring
Harvest life rerolls until life + life gain on spell hit. You can also use aetheric fossils, this might be the better option now.

Belt
Essences til life and whatever else u need
