This is with regular 6L shav, with flasks and Arcane surge up. Efficacy still lvl 11/20q, I'll update the screenshot when I take it to lvl 20. Ascendant combat buffs take this value a bit up.

Even using a perfect Cherrubim's while going life based cuts DPS by about 16%. If you go for godly jewels the difference is less than 16% of course, but at that point you are looking at insanely expensive 4mod jewels which don't make any sense against going lowlife.

I want to underline the blight gloves thing. A lot of people are convinced that the hinder debuff coming from blight is always on the target when channelling blight itself, which isn't the case at all. It has a duration which isn't refreshed while channelling. So the effect of the 2 spreading rot jewels in fights which don't last a few seconds is totally negligible. And the damage of Blight itself is negligible until you get a certain amount of stacks, which does not happen if you don't stand still and channel continuously, because to reach max blight stacks you need about 4 seconds of channelling or a bit less depending on your total cast speed, and you have to move a lot in guardian / Shaper / Atziri fights to avoid easy deaths. And you still have to keep Arcane surge, Wither totem and ED debuff up while facing boss mechanics to do full DPS.

I don't personally like the blight gloves at all because they completely change the playstyle of a super safe and mobility-friendly skill like ED forcing a quasi melee interaction with bosses to stay and channel. They also have poor ES when compared to good fingerless silk or sorcerer bases, and no resists. And they use 4 sockets for a Blight setup which are needed for other utility skills / auras / vaal discipline / whatever.

It's a matter of personal preference, that's all. :)

I Killed Uber yesterday

I see now that Pure ED makes a lot of sense :D

Killed also Shaper 2 times (both times 1 death because i like to type while in combat). On Shaper it's actually great to have blight for ads, it's convenient for laziness :)
