Staff clusters for casters
I've been running Bane one a six link staff with Blight cwc Soulrend on the chest. I took the obvious aoe caster staff cluster Enigmatic reach for Bane (and blight). I was tempted by Enigmatic Defense as well.
While unholy might won't help me, the combination of block + spell damage seems like a pretty efficient node. Was wondering what people thought? Is it worth it without the unholy might value?

I can't help with your question but I have one of my own. Have you been thinking about going with a shaper 6L staff and rolling CWC and chaos dmg multiplier? So basically 7L+ with CWC/Blight/Soulrend? This is what I want to do but can't play the league just yet.
I use blight about 1/10th the time at Max so for me, I'd focus on things that help bane... Bane slaps everything on the screen dead even in early red maps. Quickly too. It doesn't look much different than a flameblast going off.
For both blight and bane levels increase aoe, so I'd focus on chaos levels first, aoe next, the cast speed, and any quality of life links last. TBH, I'd focus my cash on getting a six link specialty chest like Queen of the Forest or Cospris will first.
Alrighty then. I just wanted to try something different hehe. My pob for this cwc build does 400kdps with the soulrend dot alone. Bane is just ricic strong tho. Hmm
I intend on doing exactly this and using a weapon swap for a long duration bow with as much +levels as I can get for essence drain, primarily for mapping, as I'll be using my chest 6L for a bane setup, might add spell cascade there.
Bow let's me use soulstrike quiver along with faster recharge rings and jewels and I've got my recharge down to 0.7 seconds.
