Notes

The plan for this PoB is to help you gear and understand the progression of the character.

Step 1: the swap from cold dot leveling build to CA/DA. For cold dot leveling POB check out this link https://pobb.in/0DfxUft_pU0F 

You can swap from cold dot as soon as you can get your hands on Death's Oath. To respec the skill tree from cold dot to CA/DA tree you will need around 27 regret points. 
To swap you just need to make sure that your chaos resistance is maxed and that you can get 180 Strenght and Dex from skill tree and gear. That is why I put points in both Prowess and Physique. 
   You can respec these at any time if you get more Strength on gear.
Because this respec is so easy I also included a couple of MF items in it. None of these are required to respec, but since this is an MF build we plan to start early. 
   These MF items are The Ascetic and Bisco's Leash. Since The Ascetic needs a white and blue item I make a blue ring with life and Strenght, Lightning res, chaos res or rarity, the white item is my Quiver. 
Try to at least 4 socket your Death's Oath. Since we need 4 off colors for this we will use the crafting bench to get the 2 blue and 2 green sockets. 
    Use the one blue, one green bench craft and after just switch from two to three sockets and from three to four sockets until we get the last two off colors.
    We will use the bench craft to add the last 2 red sockets when we have enough Jeweler Orbs. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 2: geting Glorious Vanity, Viridi's Veil and Goldwyrm

Not much else to say here, these items are big for MF and your survivability in yellow and early red maps.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 3: Uberlab and gloves with Curse on hit
Do Uberlab as soon as you feel you are ready. I tend to do it around level 85. We pick up Unholy Authority. 
   Now we can apply another curse on mobs. I usually get a pair of gloves that has Curse on hit as corruption or Asenath's Gentle Touch. A pair of Sadima's Touch with Enfeeble on hit is a very good choice. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 4: get your Chaos Damage Large Cluster and 2 mediums and 2 small clusters

Preferably you would need it as an 8 passive Cluster gem with Unholy Grace, Wicked Pall and for the last node you can choose from Unwaveringly Evil, Unspeakable Gifts or just get one with 2 nodes. 
As medium clusters Flow of Life is imo the best node paired with any other helpful node like Brewed for Potency, Student of Decay, Unwaveringly Evil
For Small clusters we need 2 mana reservation efficiency clusters, with 3 passives. These should help us with resists, strength or any other stat we need. 
  As a note, you either get Uncompromising and Mortifying Aspect on these small clusters or one of the stats will need to be at least the 25% increased effect one.

Since we are on the Jewels part as normal jewels I tend to try to get jewels with increased life and a mix of resistances, strength, chaos damage over time multiplier, chaos damage, etc.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 5: Buy/craft your Endgame hunter bow.

These are the stats you want on your bow(there are a lot of videos on Youtube about how we do this, like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l63Y2BFZuQM&t=151s): 
	+1 to Level of Socketed Gems
	75% increased Chaos Damage over Time
	+24% to Damage over Time Multiplier
	Can have up to 3 Crafted Modifiers (crafted)
	+2 to Level of Socketed Support Gems (crafted)
	+18% to Chaos Damage over Time Multiplier (crafted)

Also, now you will want, at least, a level 3 Empower Support. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 6: Buy Awakened Gems and upgrade other gems to lvl 21. 

We will need Awakened Void Manipulation x2, Awakened Swift Affliction x2, Awakened Vicious Projectiles, Awakened Increase Area of Effect
You can consider geting a Vaal Caustic Arrow 21/20, Mirage Archer 21/20, Efficacy 21/20, Lifetap 21/20, Less Duration 21/20, Blasphemy Support 21/20, Despair Curse 21/20
Consider also getting your level 21 aura gems: Determination, Malevolence, Grace.
