Playing ED/Con Occultist Witch, SRS Scion (about the only good thing for them now), and a Flame Totem Chieftain Marauder.
Good mix of builds
. I wish I could enjoy playing Essence Drain, it's so powerful for little investment, but I didn't make it past 70 without wanting to play something else. I didn't last that long with SRS either, but I was surprised how good it was at leveling. Having a hard time playing anything else this league due to how strong Blade Vortex is. Clear speed is really incredible with Vaal Haste and Whirling Blades. I'll probably switch back to playing Hardcore next league and go with slower builds. Hoping the new channel skills are fun!
Do you think they should add essences to the core game? I'm pretty mixed about them. They make leveling so much easier and give you more of a chance for better rares later on, but I feel they're a bit much to add to the core game.
