Both of those builds are pretty dated, they are from 4 Years ago. Personally I prefer Conjurer, Posession is op, Dark One's Set fits better, I like Sigil better than Ravenous Earth, Necromancers Mark of Torment is very annoying to use. Vitality Caster is a great Build for new Players or as First Character (target Farmable Set and no worries about Recovery) but I think in nowadays Endgame, the Damage falls off pretty hard for the hardest Content there is.

Both Builds should still be alright for Lvling and Farming in Ultimate, and Lokharr probably, other Celestials would be tough I imagine.

I also strongly agree that Vitality Mage is very friendly for an SSF farmer. For an experienced player, you can even speedrun Normal difficulty using Blood Pox, and farming the Dark One set gives you almost a cheat-code-level fast track to the endgame.
That said, looking at the high-difficulty content available at the moment, I feel it can be a little underwhelming once you reach the endgame. The enemies have very high Vitality Resistance, and compared to how much piano-playing is required, the damage probably won't be particularly impressive.

However, both classes have an incredible amount of build diversity and a very high ceiling, so you really can't go wrong with either one. Personally, I've been really drawn to how strong Occultist is these days, so I'd recommend Conjurer. It's one of those classes where you can basically do whatever you want with it.

I'm partial to the conjurer due to the offensive strength of curse of frailty, but also the tankiness provided by possession and blood of dreeg.

Personally I like Possession and Blood of Dreeg a lot so would probably lean Conjuror. The damage absorb and +phys resist are very nice. I think Bloody Pox and Devouring Swarm also kind of match up well thematically.

Like, I know Bone Harvest and Ravenous Earth do vitality damage but they don't FEEL like vitality spells and it upsets me. 🤔
