Passive Skill Tree, PoB, and Gem Links

You can find an optimized Path of Building here. Every build I release will use the community fork of Path of Building. You can find PoB’s Fork, by LocalIdentity, here.

If you are not comfortable with Path of Building, PoePlanner’s website offers you a non-PoB alternative to import the code from the above link. it is highly recommended you install Path of Building to follow builds most optimally.

More information about the Hear, as well as all the jewels and flask can be found on our dedicated page.

Gem Links

Soulrend – Main Link (6-Link)

Awakened Gems are really strong for this build. Therefore, upgrading to them is pretty big and should be something you work towards fast as most of them aren’t that expensive. If you’re not running Dying Sun and / or a Helmet Enchant you might find it better to swap out Void Manipulation for Greater Multiple Projectiles Support while mapping and swap back on a boss.

Auras and Buffs

The build runs Malevolence for damage and Discipline for Energy Shield. If you can get hold of an Enlighten, you can get an extra Defiance Banner for another layer of defense.

Cast when Damage Taken

Since you want as much mitigation as possible, you’re using a mediocraly-leveled Cast when Damage Taken Support to mitigate some incoming damage. Since you have a free socket in a 4-Link, this also is where you Vaal Righteous Fire buff goes. Make sure to pop Vaal Righteous Fire on bosses simultaneously with Vaal Blight for maximum DPS output.

Wither Totems

As Wither increases your damage tremendously but also requires constant casting to keep its uptime, you’re using a Spell Totem Support to cast it for you. Drop them on the boss before you start the fight so they keep applying wither to the boss as you hit and dodge! Should they die, make sure to put them up again as they apply over 60% increased damage taken to the enemies it hits.

Arcane Surge Support (level 7)

Utility

You’re completing your sockets with a Vaal Blight which you should pop on bosses and an Enduring Cry to get you Endurance Charges. Keep the Enduring Cry on cooldown as much as possible and pop Vaal Blight on bosses to make them take increased damage.
