Notes



MAKE SURE TO CHECK THE TREES AND SELECT TREES TO SEE PASSIVE POINT PROGRESSION AT THE BOTTOM LEFT OF THE PASSIVE SKILL TREE (DROP DOWN BOX)


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Act 1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Keep Chance to Bleed Support
Enemy at the Gate:	Splitting Steel 	Free

Mercy Mission	Onslaught Support	Free

Breaking Some Eggs	War Banner	Free
Breaking Some Eggs 2	Dash	Free

Breaking Some Eggs Reward:
Buy: Steelskin (place it on left click) 	1 Wisdom Scroll
Buy: Ancestral Protector (place on bosses) 	1 Wisdom Scroll

Use Dash until you get Smoke Mine + Leap Slam

The Caged Brute	Precision	Free
The Caged Brute 2	Maim Support (link to Ancestral Protector)	Free

Vendor Gems (After The Caged Brute):
Buy: Leap Slam 1 Transmute
Buy: Smoke Mine 1 Transmute

Use Splitting Steel until entering Merveil's Cavern.
Port to town once reaching the waypoint and grab Spectral Helix in town before continuing.

Pick up and use any 2H high phys damage weapon to use until Act 2.

Keep all whetstones & Rustic Sash belts to vendor for physical weapon recipe. (1 whetstone + magic or rare rustic sash + 1 Weapon)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Act 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Buy a Lapis amulet as we'll need intelligence to equip gems

Bandits: KILL ALL
You could also help Alira if you think you're going to have issues with your resistances, you can always change back to 2 skill points later with 20 regrets + a onyx amulet.

Intruders in Black	Herald of Ash	Free

Vendor Gems (After Intruders in Black):
Buy: Blood Rage	1 Alteration
Buy: Herald of Purity	1 Alteration

Sharp and Cruel	Vicious Projectiles Support	Free

Vendor Gems (After Sharp and Cruel):
Buy:  Cruelty Support 	1 Alteration
Buy: Faster Attacks Support	1 Alteration

You can choose between Cruelty, Vicious Projectiles as your 4 link, the latter does more damage but feels a little more clunky because of the reduced attack speed.

We will use Herald of Ash and Purity + Precision until act 3.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Act 3
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lost in Love Grace or Determination

At this point we drop the heralds as we should have rushed the Precise Technique keystone and we have too much damage so we replace them with Grace or Determination + Precision.

Vendor Gems (After Lost in Love):
Buy: Poachers Mark	1 Alteration

We self cast Poachers Mark on tanky targets until we get mark on hit in act 4 to automate it.

Unfortunately we have to do library quest for divine Blessing Support so we can use Pride as a blessing to give us more damage and proc adrenaline.
Alternatively you can just ask a friend to give it to you, but only templar gets it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Act 4
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nothing much changes here aside for getting mark on hit support and linking it to poacher's mark to automate the curse.

Vendor Gems (After The Eternal Nightmare):
Buy: Mark on Hit Support	1 Alchemy Orb


From here nothing changes until you do the Claw to Crit swap in maps.

I Highly reccommned you wait until you have a claw with decent damage and very high critical strike chance as swapping to Nightblade Support without much Crit chance is going to feel terrible.
I wouln't swap before a 5 or 6 link, you can look for corrupted 6 links on trade or buy a tabula and use Increased Critical Strike Chance Support to bump up your crit a little bit.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ascendancy Order
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. First to Strike, Last to Fall
2. Inspirational
3. Unstoppable Hero
4. Fortitude

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PANTHEONS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I recommend upgrading Brine King (atoll map) for Freeze immunity
Soul of Garukhan with a shock reduction flask early to not take deadly shocks before working towards ailment avoidance.

Alternatively you could also use Purity of Elements on Blessing if you really want ailment avoidance.
