Path of Building – Passive Skill Tree

Path of Building is a third-party tool used for planning characters. It has information for the passive tree, skill gems, and gear. It is an essential tool for playing PoE.

TKTK Here is a link to our Path of Building for this build.

You can download the Path of Building Community Fork, which is maintained by LocalIdentity, here.

If you are not yet comfortable with using Path of Building, we highly recommend reading this Path of Building Guide.

Bloodline Ascendancy Options

Aul grants 15% increased Global Defences as a small passive, and a customizable defensive option with Precursor’s Release.

The best bonus from Precursor’s Release is “Take no Extra Damage from Critical Strikes,” which is granted by having no socketed gems in your gloves.

This build has very few mandatory gems, so an empty 4-link is a minor tradeoff. Dropping Pyromaniac from the Saboteur tree is worth the cost. The only downside is that you will have to run Delves to unlock Aul’s Bloodline.

Awakened Gems

Some Support Gems have Awakened versions. These gems are more powerful than the standard alternatives. You should use Awakened gems whenever you can afford them, but they aren’t necessary to make the build work.

Leveling Awakened gems can be slow. If you want to level an Awakened gem quickly, you can buy Wild Brambleback beasts and use them in the Menagerie with the recipe “Increase the Level of non-Corrupted Awakened Gem by 1.” This process can save a lot of time.

Gem Setups

Increasing your gem levels is important for maximizing damage, so level up your gems any time you can. You can apply quality to them using Gemcutter's Prism.

Main 6-Link (Body Armour)

Auras

Linking your Skitterbots to Unbound Ailments will increase the magnitude of the shock and chill effects they apply.

You can link the following auras together if you want to benefit from reservation efficiency bonuses, such as Clarity Clarity or the Hunter/Shaper Shield modifier “Socketed Gems have 30% increased Reservation Efficiency.” You can keep Clarity at level 10 so that its mana reservation remains fairly cheap.
