Path of Building – Passive Skill Tree

You can find an optimized Path of Building here. Every build I release will use the community fork of Path of Building, which is maintained and updated in a much more regular fashion than the original one. You can find PoB’s Fork, by LocalIdentity, here.

If you are not comfortable with Path of Building, you can check the link in PobbIn. However, we heavily advise you to use Path of Building for which we have a Path of Building Guide

Awakened Gems

A lot of gems nowadays in Path of Exile have Awakened versions. These version will generally be a lot more powerful than the widely available Regular versions. Therefore the should be purchased whenever you can afford them. When the gems listed down here mention Awakened Gems, you are supposed to use their regular versions until you can afford the upgrade.

For most people, leveling these Gems up takes way too much time so you’re generally offered two choices.

You can just buy a leveled version.
You can buy the Wild Brambleback beasts and use the Menagerie craft to upgrade Increase the level of non-Corrupted Awakened Gem by 1.

Gem Setups

Gem Links

Toxic Rain – Main Link (6-Link)

Auras

You need to run all of these gems in The Devouring Diadem in order to fit them all. Before you obtain this build-enabling unique, you’re bound to drop an aura. This is highly preference, but I suggest dropping Determination.

Wither Setup

Wither Wither increases the amount of damage your target takes tremendously, but since you’re building pods, you can’t cast Wither yourself. Therefore, you use your second 6-Link to maximize its damage output whilst maintaining that utility. Make sure to drop these down on the bosses!

Utility Setup

Aside from a movement skill in Dash Dash or Flame Dash you can use some Vaal Skills here. Vaal Blight & Haste amplifies your damage while Vaal Molten Shell is a nice mapping buff that gives you some extra beefiness.

Curse

You should be using a Despair Despair. The most potent way to do it is by self-casting it. If you want to automate it, you could always run it on a ring through the “Curses Enemies with Despair on Hit” modifier. This modifier is obtainable on Hunter-Influenced rings.

Despair

Withering Step

Withering Step becomes something we should consider as a source of Elusive. I would definitely include it consider linking it to Automation Support so you keep up your Elusive avoidance the entire time. The only downside is that it will consume your Dash charges – leaving you without that extra mobility. Should you opt into using this, there’s merit to using it linked to an Enhance Support.
