Notes

There's a few things to go over that are obvious to seasoned PoE players, but warrants repeating.
Taking jewel nodes that you have no jewels for, is wasted points.
Putting off jewel sockets for too long because you didn't pick up jewels, is a bad idea. If you didn't get decent jewels, buy some. Jewels matter.

Boneshatter of Complex Trauma is a massive damage upgrade, but don't do it too early: you WILL kill yourself. There's no set point for when this starts to feel okay, you'll just have to test it and see when you can sustain it.

If you get a jewel with "corrupted blood cannot be inflicted on you" early (corruption implicit) - use it and respec the mastery. If you don't have curse reduction yet, I like to replace the CB mastery with the no ele res reduction mastery. Putting it into other things you want to try is perfectly fine, though.

Make sure your life total stays below your total combined accuracy. This is incredibly important as it keeps Precise Technique active. 

The Guardians blessing -Herald of Purity - Pride link is a bit janky. It's "free" power in that it allows the herald of purity to carry pride for prides reservation, but if you hate it you can always run just Pride and do a bit less damage. That's fine, up to you. 

Weapons these days usually drop decent enough, just make sure to identify axes of your level as they drop. Elemental damage modifiers are largely meaningless, but if you get a REALLY good one just swap out brutality for a while.

Until you get Fortify implicit on chest, run fortify support. 

Weapon Recipe is more than enough for campaign. Rhustic Sash of magic quality (blue) or Rare (yellow) + 1 Blacksmith's Whetstone + white baseweapon = Recipe weapon. These have okay stats. I usually make one at the start of every act as the vendor gets access to new basetypes. 


Death's Door is not mandatory, if you're familiar with boot crafting you can beat them. They are however pretty decent and usually very cheap. If they are expensive you ignore them. 

Tanu Ahi is INCREDIBLY important for this build. They likely account for about half of our total damage, you want to get a pair as early as possible. Don't worry about rolls, just get a pair. 

Magnate might be expensive the first few days, if it is, you simply get a Rhustic Sash with some half-decent stats like resistances and life. Stygian Vise is also an option, though that will require a decent jewel. If you're unfamiliar with abyssal jewels, just come talk to us in the discord!

Should you get massive accuracy rolls on gear somewhere, you can have a higher life total. This should never be underestimated, but it overcomplicates things so the guide does not do this.
