Notes

Items:
- Use Calling or Convening wands. Convoking wands aren't worth the Int. investment.
- Flasks are optional.
- Listed items are basic guidelines.
- Increases to minion damage (100%+) are stronger than increasing minion gem levels unless the increases to minion gem level are stacked quite high.
- Strength based shields have 21%+ reduced Crit. damage taken mods. Minion based shields do not.

Pantheon:
- With the tree I've chosen, then Pantheon is a must. The combo of the tree and upgraded Pantheon makes us immune to Chill, Freeze, and Shock.

Rupture:
- Rupture is tricky. It does HUGE damage with a massive decrease in DOT time. It's really not worth having more than one Rupture on an enemy at a time. A normal bleed lasts 5 seconds. 1 Rupture lasts 1.3 seconds instead. Adding a 2nd Rupture makes Rupture last only .4 seconds, with a 3rd one making Rupture last only .2 seconds. So don't focus too much on Crit. Chance. You'll occasionally get Rupture on the Reaper's Ultimate attack, but not often. It's huge for the default attacks though.
- Rupture is Bleeding. If a bleed is on an enemy, it'll start the 5-second bleed timer. If that hit also Ruptured, the bleed's duration "speeds up", at the cost of more damage. When the Rupture expires, the bleed continues at the regular bleed damage for whatever the remaining duration of the bleed would be.

Minion Life:
- There isn't any (minion life investment). For this build, I opted to give US the extra survivability instead of giving it to our minions. That means you'll need to set your expectations a bit that there will be some situations where the Reaper is going to need to be summoned repeatedly. It'll almost never happen in a boss fight, but it'll happen occasionally while mapping/delving or whatever.

Levelling:
- To discover where your gems unlock, click on the Pobb as a link and hover over your gems.
- Don't rush the tree. Take the nodes in linear order and select all nodes as they come.
- The majority of non-gear defence is in the latter half of the levelling experience. So if you're playing HC, keep that in mind as you level.
