PoB: pastebin.com/nNZPVUQj EDITs: I recorded first thing when I woke up and I meant to put Controlled Destruction with Flame Wall, not Added Lightning Damage. Similar with Holy Flame Totem and Infused Channeling (used to work but doesn't anymore). The notes will be updated.
Now, will Cane of Unravelling become the new Soulwrest of 3.15? Made for league starters but worth 3ex during the first week? I don't know. Is it less rare than Soulwrest?
I've cycled through so many league starter builds for scourge, I couldn't make my mind up, nothing felt... right. You just saved my will to play tomorrow. Thanks a lot, keep up the good work !
Glad you did this. I have been struggling to decide between this, Toxic Rain, or Steel build and this will definitely be it. The fact I'll know by act 5 at the latest if I like it is a huge advantage
Everyone and their dog and cat will be playing tr, steel or Phys traps... I think this is a great starter in terms of gear availability as well as being smooth all the way
I have been doing some test running in standard and have been falling far behind in progression. this guide helps, A L O T! ! thank you very much for assisting the community!
I remember doing a bane build before they changed curses/hexes and how satisfying it was, and I’ve been looking for a new bane build since! Thanks for giving me another opportunity to play this relaxed and fun skill :D
Just tried a standard run (on the old tree) for this build, character is in act 5 for now. Feels great, leveling has been sooooo smooth, 8/10 experience before level 24, 11/10 after level 24. I was a bit skeptical to follow builds from creators I am not too familiar with, but I am absolutely blown away and very excited to join you in league starting this build!
Looking forward to watching this! Found you a few days ago and have since watch almost all your streams and even tossed the T3 6 month sub your way because I appreciate what you're doing man. This is the build I'm working on and will be my league starter 100%. Keep it up and see you in stream today. Cheers!
Just want to say this is my third league and I started playing after work last night. Just about into act 4 and this has been the smoothest leveling guide I have used so far. I wanted to play a build I had not tried before and this is really awesome so far. Thank you so much for this.
I'm a longtime PoE player from closed beta but I've been gone about a year and have been excited to come back. Looking around for build guides and content creators other than my go-to favorite ZiggyD, I've found a lot of people are a bit... "much" to put it politely. But I loved your video and subbed. You have a authentic friendly style and aren't meme-y or putting on a fake persona which I do admire. Thanks for the build. Love playing DoT and Witch builds so going to try this out. The video was both super informative while also being concise. Can't wait to watch more of your content and see what you come up with next.
Man your enthusiasm for the build is just great! Been building dozens of Bane/Ed Occultists myself last couple of years..in trade leagues and hc ssf and have never been disappointed. Good ole trusty :D Gonna have your build and Lahkesis in the background leaguestart for reference and try to go with that and with what always worked and I'm pretty confident as well, it's gonna be a blast :) Good luck to ya!
I LOVE with how crazily simple this is to level! Perfect for putting a cheeky smile back on my face whilst killing everything. Bane always has a special place in my heart.....next to cats, pizza and ice cream of course. Thanks for the guide....very much appreciated
Great build!!! I'm on console so started this yesterday for practice on 3.16, man how fun !!! Can't wait till our league starts. Thanks Sub for putting this together!!!
I was waiting for you my dear!! you're finally here, thank you @subtractem for providing us with the guide we love you from the bottom of our hearts!! ^_^
Thanks for all the videos. All this content has been very insightful and I'm playing this build just because you have covered everything so well. Just want you to know your work is appreciated.
Love your videos and the fact that you seem to care about your viewers. Would love to this progress videos once the league is out aswell if you find the time for it. Found your channel recently when I tried to find insperation to bane since I haven't played it in a long time It's nice to find someone who's clearly knows what they are talking about without overselling it. I now feel confident in making my own version of the build with your ideas as a base. God bless Exile and THANK YOU❤
This is exactly what I wanted to find for a league starter! Found your league starter builds and thought "Hey, it'd be nice to have a leveling guide to go with this since I've never really played PoE..." and bam here it is! Good work, man. Now to try to figure out how to get PoB to load the pastebin link....
thank you for the guide, very well prepared and easy to follow, did a test run for fun and felt really smooth! As you've said, only a1 takes a while to setup gems etc but that's expected
Thank you so much for this, I played ritual league as my first league until ultimatum, and after around 10 different builds, there was really no clear way for me to smoothly progress ANY class from lvl 1 because leaguestart guides don't actually help you start at 1, and how to kick everything off. After seeing this ive decided to try archnemesis after skipping the past leagues after ultimatum, and boy the levelling process was AMAZING. I had so much fun running through act 1 (i didn't know it was possible lmao) You deserve so much more subs and im so glad I came across your vids! Thank you for your help :)
This build is a banger!!! I wanted to make an int stack occultist and this is a funny alternative to the tedious leveling of a witch. Really good build thanks!
And here he is! Like someone else was saying, I was stuck between your and Fyregrass' league starter, but out of principle I'll start with yours :D I and the rest of your community really appreciate you, hope you get the attention you deserve.
You are so awesome man!!! Can't wait till concole players are able to play so I can rock this build!! Great explanation about build and from this ps4 player THANK YOU!!!
I tried this on normal last 2 days and its exactly like u said smooth and easy leveling. The damage is ridiculous. As soon as u get the first damage nodes for chaos damage and swap over to bane it feels like a walk in the park! Very good for beginners, but it im pretty sure it will scale enough to do pretty well in all the endgame content. i will definetly watch out for u on twitch and follow ur progress while im playing this build myself :-)
First time I have watched one of your videos and I’m very impressed.I’m going to give this build a go as it’s different to what I usually do.Btw subscribed.
This is great, thanks. I do really well late game, but I've always felt my start is weak. I'll also echo that profane bloom feels really good. Definitely starting with that one.
Btw. I played your Ele Hit Raider last league, even though I didnt reach your damage numbers I still loved the build, just wanted to give you a heads up on the guide as well! Really enjoyed playin even though I didn't like the league much, your build kind of saved me xD
I started a Cold DoT and I will stay with that for a bit yet, but you may have sold me on trying this build. I like simple, though it seems you wanted to make the tree a bit extra painful by adding and removing stuff but hey, I don't me to complain. I also saw a nugiyen build that excited me as well, but as great as these both seem I keep getting pulled back to an HC cold DoT and even though I seem to have been in bad form dying like 3 times and I have not even finished Act 1, but let me be honest I'm sure the problems were all 100% me :) Thanks for this post.
I'm new, so went for toxic rain at first, and uh...... I kinda messed it up somehow. Was just too squishy and I didn't want to fight with it. Got to like act 6 and deleted the character, probably a super dumb thing to do but - eh - I was pissed... dialed this up, imported the pob, watched a few of your videos on it and liked the playstyle.... and holy smokes I am loving it. I have no idea what I'm doing in general but... the holy totem, the firewall, and just the witch in general... she's awesome. Thanks man!
I never play witch, I'm more of a mele player, being gladiator my favorite assendancy along wiht the raider, but this build looks so interesting a comfortable to play, so I may follow your guide as my league starter. Your content is awesome by the way.
Was going back and forth between this and a Exsanguinate Scion. I had so much fun with both of them during Expedition. But at the end of the day I am going with your Bane Occultist. That huge AOE of Bane felt a lot better than Exsanguinate to me when you get swarmed by mobs on high level maps.
I am not particularly fond of many POE streamers. You are the most normal person of all of them, with Captain lance coming in second. I really like your content, you got a sub.
Wow....Leveling with this one looks so smooth. Im glad that many people are hyped about TR Champion (Or TR in general) so hopefully this one will be a bit offmeta and cheaper. :)
I appreciate your deep dive into Bane Occultist, which is similar to one of my favorite builds of all time. I'm wondering if I can run a bane build idea by you and see if you can make it better ... and feel free to use it as guide content if you decide you like it.
what i like leveling this is to put soulrend on a spell totem with multiple projectiles. helps the clear while running around and bane radius is still tiny.
dont forget that in act 1 you could sell your fireball gem (that you grabbed on the very first area) with an iron ring to get Cold res ring (need lvl8) against merveil, with potential of vendoring it with magic wand for flat dmg at lvl12
i really want to back 3.7 bane :( and yes bane is one of the best leauge starter , i was start bane in 5 patch after this skil was relesed , bane is live , bane is love
this is my league starter from Methamorph league and this league will be no exception. i never failed whit it and whit a 5 to 10 exalts investment i easily do Sirius level8 (shavs6link, chyaula).
Yo, nice video and build guides. I been playing Poe since beta back in what 2011/2012....I wonder how many people will overlook this build? Looks very solid, keep up the great work.
I was struggling to find a build to play this league and didn't have much time to decide and I found this guide and I am glad I did, this build levels like a dream. This will be my go-to for every league start now! Would like to hear back about what people think about the chaos mastery choosing the +1 chaos skills, does it feel good or bad? Going to be trying it here in a couple levels
Thank you so much! I thought start with ED + contagion but I prefer yours:) I had another tree scale damage but i,ll change it in a mix way with yours. I,ll try to power up (if i get i,ll write my tree to know your professional opinion) Ty again!

Here I was about to go check PoB if added lightning works with Flame Wall haha
Next big question is: Do you have or in the future would you be willing to make a loot filter for league start so its super smooth all around? :)
@@69PhantomzoneTV69 Perfect timing as I'm literally looking for a loot filter for league start. Cheers
Now, will Cane of Unravelling become the new Soulwrest of 3.15? Made for league starters but worth 3ex during the first week? I don't know. Is it less rare than Soulwrest?
spell cascade is great with flame wall early on. Combustion is also a solid third link on HFT to get through the first three acts.
You are so devoted and caring, holy mother of god, top tier build creator, bless you.
We really need moar people like him in society ❤️

Dope leveling guide.... don't plan on playing this spec but one of the best leveling videos I've seen in a while
Thank goodness, i have been looking for something like this all week
Man I am feeling spoiled today! Appreciate the breakdown. Never leveled bane before.
thank you for the guide, very well prepared and easy to follow, did a test run for fun and felt really smooth! As you've said, only a1 takes a while to setup gems etc but that's expected
You seem like such a delightful person, love the voice too. Thanks for the build, probably will start with this one.
Currently trying to decide between this and Fyregrass's Tornado Shot occultist. Might just use both!
Great guide, Sub. You do god's work.
Cast on Crit Bane with Tornado shot. Best of both worlds.
What could go wrong?
Bwaha just came from fyregrass. Was thinking same!
I'm calling it, Banenado Shot Occultist will be the first build to 40/40 this league.
Fyregrass build still require to Legion specific unique so might be wise going with this even if to respect later
@@coulombeQC Darkscorn isn't legion specific anymore, its a global drop
So much dedication, I love it. Thanks sub.
You are now my favourite POB creator =) thanks alot dude.

Been waiting for this leveling guide :D Thanks for all the effort you've been putting into the Bane Occ Build
This build is a banger!!! I wanted to make an int stack occultist and this is a funny alternative to the tedious leveling of a witch. Really good build thanks!
I'm on ps5 so this was super helpful for me thank you so much for showing details in the video!!
And here he is! Like someone else was saying, I was stuck between your and Fyregrass' league starter, but out of principle I'll start with yours :D
I and the rest of your community really appreciate you, hope you get the attention you deserve.
Until now I was very set on league starting with done sort of Ignite build, but this video brought back my fondness for Bane 😁😁
Damn dude, this is some next lvl guide. Thnx Substractem for great content
Thank you friend. I enjoyed the build and how you talking about it. Will do as a starter
Thank you so much for this guide, keep up the amazing work man!
I was still on the fence on my league starter, but this cemented it. I look forward to playing this build and following along with your progress
Much appreciated mate! Your build video was awesome and I totally starting this league with it and now you release an leveling guide too...you rock!
that's what i've been waiting for, thank you
Thanks for the build. Super detailed POB 😃
The guides keep coming ! 20% Occultists meta for 3.16, let's go !!
You are so awesome man!!! Can't wait till concole players are able to play so I can rock this build!! Great explanation about build and from this ps4 player THANK YOU!!!
Anyway you might do a video of how to do league mechanic or anything else that may help us late starters ? 🤔
been playing this for the last 2 days on standrad just to test,a nd its amazing!! will definitly use for the new league (and after)
You are a god. I really wanted to play Bane this league but I was really lost on how I should get through leveling.
Thanks mate, nice and thorough guide, definitely starting with your build
Thanks - I am so torn on what to do this league. I think I'll try this. I love the witch class so much!
everything you do is so well thought out GREAT content!

Best build ever, very easy to put together, super noob friendly! big ups! Very Easy and Very Safe! 10 out of 10!
Thanks for putting this guide out. Looks like the "Final Budget Tree" in your POB is actually the 3.15 tree.
fixed!
Definetly league starting this one. Great guide as always, loving everything you do! Thanks for the great content!
Btw. I played your Ele Hit Raider last league, even though I didnt reach your damage numbers I still loved the build, just wanted to give you a heads up on the guide as well! Really enjoyed playin even though I didn't like the league much, your build kind of saved me xD
Excited to try it out in ~16 hours!! ^.^
Very nice i think i got my league strat ! Thanks for the awesome video (coming from Zizaran POE university)
Was on stream and asked for a “tutorial” and you said you had no time. Glad you made some time since so many people asked lol
Thank you for a great guide and build. This will be my league starter =)

I will league start with that build. It looks amazing!
was thinking between this and Champ TR, but my mind has been made. I'm going the occy way. SUUUURE
Decision made I'm going to try this out!
Yup, this is op.
Love this, thank you!!
Thanks mate =) starting with it tomorrow !!!
Wow....Leveling with this one looks so smooth.
Im glad that many people are hyped about TR Champion (Or TR in general) so hopefully this one will be a bit offmeta and cheaper. :)
I think you can vendor a orb of aug and quicksilver flask with boots to get 10ms boots, if your having trouble finding ones with movement speed.
I made a levelling tree which goes up to Corruption/Hex Master/Acrimony first before heading over to the right side. I wanted a change!
Yes, the guide is perfect just as i like it. new sub too here
you could take skitterbots in act 2 for the base chill and shock, if you have the mana for it.
Thanks, mate!!
I appreciate your deep dive into Bane Occultist, which is similar to one of my favorite builds of all time. I'm wondering if I can run a bane build idea by you and see if you can make it better ... and feel free to use it as guide content if you decide you like it.
best witch leveling i had was creeping frost, cold snap, frost bomb. DOT and everything is chilled + free frezzies
I'm new new NEW don't know anything about the game thank you. I'm still like a little lost and overwhelmed. but this video helped thank you 🥺
what i like leveling this is to put soulrend on a spell totem with multiple projectiles. helps the clear while running around and bane radius is still tiny.
dont forget that in act 1 you could sell your fireball gem (that you grabbed on the very first area) with an iron ring to get Cold res ring (need lvl8) against merveil, with potential of vendoring it with magic wand for flat dmg at lvl12
i really want to back 3.7 bane :( and yes bane is one of the best leauge starter , i was start bane in 5 patch after this skil was relesed , bane is live , bane is love
I played this build in Expedition, it was amazing! Ofc going with it again 😁
Awesome!
this is my league starter from Methamorph league and this league will be no exception. i never failed whit it and whit a 5 to 10 exalts investment i easily do Sirius level8 (shavs6link, chyaula).
Yo, nice video and build guides. I been playing Poe since beta back in what 2011/2012....I wonder how many people will overlook this build? Looks very solid, keep up the great work.
I might give this a shot as a second build after Big Ducks suggested this build for his audience. Looks fun and I’m looking for a decent Witch build.
Awesome!

Man, stop making me wanna play Bane again :D I wanna try something new. Good job on the guide though. See ya in Scourge
