Notes

IMPORTANT:

> Please apply tattoos as requested.
> For medium cluster jewels on the upper left socket, you can buy any of these jewels in this trade link: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Settlers/WjpMGOZum
> For Brutal Restraint Timeless Jewel, we need one with 3815 or 1200 dekhara with any of the akharas. If you can't find these somehow, you can take dekhara 2808 at the cost of 0.1k life. 
You can find these in this trade link: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Settlers/Vd7eq08Sp  |  You can also get dekhara 1176 the worst case which lowers DPS but increases life, in 
case one day the build becomes too popular and the other better dekharas will not be enough for it.
> You might not have enough Intelligence to max level Efficacy support on War Banner. If this is the case, please use it on lower level matching with the intelligence you have with %20 quality.
> Do not hesitate to use Proficiency and Hard Knocks nodes on the Passive tree if you need additional Intelligence or Dexterity.
> Don't forget to change Cruelty on Lacerate with Awakened Swift Affliction while upgrading to Meta Gear.

LEVELLING NOTES:

Use Sunder for clearing and Double Strike for bosses. While using Sunder for clear, try to gather monsters in 1 single pack with 1-2 leaps and then fire 1-2 Sunder to clear them all. Since Sunder is linear 
and has a huge AoE, it is better to use it like this. After adding Fist of War support, the clear will get better. For bossing, just use Double Strike until you get Vaal Double Strike. After Vaal Double Strike, you 
just cast Vaal Double Strike guys and Sunder the boss. Try to keep your resists as high as you can, use rare axes with as high DPS/Attack Speed as possible and keep on upgrading them as you level. If 
you buy axes with 1 physical mod and craft the other, you can get them for pretty cheap.
