Contagion Builds?
Have a Poison Concoction Pathfinder that's running Contagion, and was wondering if there are any builds that run that as a main (or one of their main) abilities? It's pretty cool just seeing everything wither away in a purple chain.
I have a 90 Invoker (Ice Strike) that I'd like to leave as is, but I do have a 70 Infernalist (some Arsonist build that I don't enjoy very much) that I could do something with if there is a Contagion build for it. Other than those two, open to one of the other classes (which I guess leaves Warrior or Mercenary).

Only one that works right now is demon form chaos damages.
At 60-200 stack everything just melts. So literally any skill can be used.
You could do demon form with your infernalist. I've tried making it work other ways, including using hourglass support to try and big boost its damage but it just doesn't do enough with essence drain in maps.
I’m playing a 75 infernalist that is mostly chaos dots with some minion support, and I’m flying through maps. I’m using contagion, essence drain, the chaos curse and totem, and skeletal snipers and hellhound.
It obliterates just about everything I’ve come across. Bosses don’t get one shot, but I always feel in control, aside from when the shitty console targeting occasionally makes it difficult to target a boss.
With the chaos curse (despair?) and 70% wither, the skeletal sniper poison hits like a truck, and I spam that when my dots are ticking.
I also have a lot of sources of life regen and ES, so even when I get hit I’m back to full in a matter of seconds.
Definitely not the world’s most efficient meta build, but it’s got great survivability, and once the dots start spreading, mobs chain explode faster than I can run.
It’s also nice to have minions and a totem to run interference.
