Ky's Cast on Crit Forbidden Rite Occultist Build Guide (Poe Secrets of the Atlas 3.26)

Introduction

Forbidden Rite of Soul Sacrifice Has crazy synergy with the new unique added in 3.26 Whispers of Infinity. Which causes your skills to cost energy shield instead of their regular cost.

This means that Forbidden Rite of Soul Sacrifice will instead cost energy shield instead of life, enabling the use of Chaos Inoculation, which was impossible before. This build uses Cyclone along with Awakened Cast On Critical Strike Support to trigger Forbidden Rite of Soul Sacrifice. It is incredibly tanky, one button, but leans toward the expensive side and is not viable as a league starter.

Below is a full video guide going over the build and its mechanics:

Leveling

This is an ENDGAME build. I do not recommend leveling with forbidden rite. I recommend leveling with the skill Armageddon Brand as a witch. Just take brand nodes, life, and fire damage, and you will be fine.
