Occultist
The Occultist is an Ascendancy class for Witches.
Overview
Occultists are suited for Witches with a focus on chaos damage or curses. Malediction greatly enhances Curse specialists, while Profane Bloom and Void Beacon let them dish out more chaos damage. Occultists also work well for builds that rely on energy shield for protection or ones that just need a way to generate Power Charges.

Energy Shield, Critical Strike Chance
Profane Bloom is a notable Ascendancy passive skill for the Occultist. It grants a chance for enemies with a curse to explode when killed by you or your minions, dealing chaos damage in an area. The radius of the explosion is 22 units, and scales with AoE modifiers.[1]
This effect gives minions their own explosion effect; it does not cause player explosions from minion kills. This means explosions from minion kills will be affected by the minion's stats, including from support gems: Brutality SupportBrutality SupportPhysical, Support

Energy Shield, Energy Shield Recharge Rate
Enemy you or your Minions have Killed Recently, up to 10% per second
Cannot Be Stunned while you have Energy Shield
Regenerate 40 Energy Shield per second [1]
Vile Bastion is a notable Ascendancy passive skill for the Occultist. It grants flat energy shield regeneration and percentage energy shield regeneration for each enemy killed by you or your minions recently. It also grants immunity to stun while you have any amount of energy shield. Hits that fully deplete energy shield will not stun the player.[1]
Since this passive grants energy shield regeneration, it is not removed by Vaal Pact, unlike life regeneration that is converted with Zealot's Oath.
Ruthless mode
Vile Bastion in Ruthless mode does not grant energy shield regeneration or stun immunity while you have energy shield. Instead, it causes your life recoup to also apply to energy shield.
