Notes

Hello Dear Reader , this is a setup oriented to reach 68 or maps the most smoothly possible:


TlDR of Ruthless Mode : The Ruthless is a veteran mode for people who seek a challenge via less Playerpower ( gear , ascendancy , link )
That mean you have to solve any defensive issues with Tree (Elemental Resistance/Life) because you will have longer fight again Boss and dying isn't an option (give health back to boss)

Guardian Ascendancy give 3 Auras (Wrath , Hatred, Anger) , a Taunt Minion (10% less damag taken) , 10% damage from Hits are taken from your Radiance Relic before your life , 15

Bandits// 
              Kill Them all : 2 Point can open a cluster or an extra jewel for more damage/ life etc

Muling : Do Tidal Island quest with both of them , gem choice from quest reward
1_Marauder(4) : Pick Ground Slam Lvl 4 -> Molten Shell  (roah quest reward)
2_Witch mule : Pick Raise Zombie , Summon Raging Spirit , Clarity , Flesh offering , Desecrate (Chamber of Sins lvl 2) stop the witch here
3_Main Templar : Pick Rolling Magma, Holy Flame Totem , Vitality , Absolution ,Summon Stone Golem

All Active gem use by the Main character during Campaign  : (end-game setup in skills)
Raise Zombie
Summon Raging Spirit
Holy Flame Totem
Molten Shell
Clarity (stop it at gem level 8-10 more isn't necessary until you have mana issue )
Vitality
Flesh Offering
Absolution
Desecrate (Level 1 - no Gem up) (If you start a templar Main stop at this step with your Mule Witch)
Conductivity
Convocation (1st Uncarved gem from Siosa reward) 
Summon Stone Golem (open the Door of the Mine "act 4" and go take it instantly)
Raise Spectre (2nd Uncarved gem from Innocence kill reward )


Flask start setup : 2 Life 1 Mana 2 Quicksilver
Brutus & Merveil setup : 2 Life 2 Mana 1 Quicksilver
After Having Clarity lvl 3-4  2 Life , 3 Quicksilver

                  
Gear setup:
Use Hybrid ES/Armour or Pure ES item
6-7 Blue Socket
3-5 Red Socket
1 Green Socket

Brutus fight // use Holy Flame Totem to get his attention spam Summon Raging Spirit or Rolling Magma
Merveil fight her at level 14 setup you will have +13% all res
Weaver , lot of Magic monsters (elemental damage) again you , recommand to kill her after bandits . 
( When you have Absolution use it again trash minion// Summon Raging Spirit again boss & tanky Rare , it is difficult to use both as same time)
You can remove Summon Raging Spirit at end of the campaign if you wish

Absolution Support gem
Mandatory : Physical to Lightning / Minion Damage Support /Spell Echo
Speed support gem : Spell Echo(best) / Faster Casting / Minon Speed 
Bossing : Concentred Effect / Predator/ Lightning prenetration
Early Socket Filler :  Added Ligthning damage / Added Fire damage / Added Cold Damage / Summon Phanstasm


Tips :
OverLevel to level up more your minions gem Since in ruthless Gem XP is nerf by 4
+1 Physical/Lightning weapon shield are extremly Valuable since Minion damage/Life scale a lot with Gem level
+1 to all Minion gem on Helmet to check out
You can Raise Specter  , Stygian Silverback (act 2 - Riverway) for Frenzy charge if you want an early buff Specter ( he may die a lot - desecrate to revive him )
Desecrate + Flesh Offering for bonus Minion speed - 
Holy Flame Totem for Minions when they take damage or near you (consacreted ground ->curse removal/ free 5% life reg)
Molten Shell on Left click (not anymore sadge)

Use Enduring Mana Flask/Eldritch Battery if you have Mana issue or want to remove Clarity
