Occultis vs Trickster for Bane/Soulrend?

Hi, so i never really played a chaos char, being it occu or trickster, so im wondering what are the main differences between them if we are talking about bane/soulrend playstyle, also how do they differ between themselvs when it comes only to their ascendancies?

There is also Ascendant if you want to feel special.

Cultist for easier reach to extra curse and better chaos damage.

Trickster for better leach, tank and dot

Bear in mind Chaos DoT cannot leech.

Otherwise, go with the flavor you prefer. Heavy curse - Occult.
Faster move, cast, and good DoT too but with 1 less curse and cannot curse hexproof - Trickster.
For long term hit and run - Scion (close access to both duration clusters).

Occultist I believe will prove more potent due to added curse potential of Bane.

Occultist for Bane for extra curse and Trickster for Soulrend for Skillduration and Dot damage buffing.

If you are going Chaos DoT, do not forget the Chaos Damage Over Time Multiplier. Occultist gets another 25 from the Ascendancy tree over any other class.

I go occultist almost every league, but I'm trickster and I'll give you some tips about both

1. I go CI as occultist as early as second lab and gearing for early ES is easier than its ever been. Trickster will be more gear reliant though and it will be behind in total ES pool by a large amount until you have excellent gear

2. In my POB tree with decent gear trickster recovers almost 1k es when he gets hit, which given the evasion and whatnot should make it on par with the effectively permanent Vaal Discipline that occultist gets (their clearing regen is about equal)

3. Trickster will do more damage and have a lot more cast speed, Occultist will have 1 more curse, curses will be much stronger and gets explosions. These probably balance out to make everything more or less play style choice.

If you really can't decide I'd go occultist. Its EZ mode and its almost impossible to die while mapping even with nutty mods just because of how high your effective life pool and regen are.

Would a tree like that be good for life based sr/bane occultist? found that somewhere on youtube

It crossed my mind, but I already made a chaos theme Ascendant. But I have never made an Occultist or a Trickster before; I might flip a coin.
