======================F A Q======================



Q: What Bandit?

A: KILL ALL.
---
Q: What Pantheon?

A: YOU DONT ALWAYS NEED THE SAME ONES, I USE BRINE KING AND GARUKHAN
---
Q: I'm dying a lot, what gives?

A: THIS BUILD MAINLY SURVIVES THROUGH LEECH, DODGE AND A LIFE FLASK. YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE USING THAT INSTANT LIFE FLASK TO HEAL
WHEN YOU TAKE DAMAGE.
---
Q: Why are you missing gear? Is that a mistake?

A: HOLLOW PALM TECHNIQUE REQUIRES YOU TO NOT EQUIP ANY WEAPONS OR GLOVES TO GET IT'S EFFECT.
---
Q: The price of (INSERT ITEM HERE) went up so much! How can I ever play this build?

A: I DON'T CONTROL THE ECONOMY, IF MY BUILDS GET POPULAR THE PRICE GOES UP =(
---
Q: Can I go "Insert other ascendancy node here"

A: SURE BUT THESE ARE THE BEST ONES IMO, I TALK ABOUT IT IN THE VIDEO.
---
Q: I'm having mana problems... what do?

A: ENCHANT YOUR RINGS  WITH - COST OF MANA OF NON-CHANNELING ABILITIES IF NEEDED AND USE THE MANA FLASK
---
Q: My dps sucks and I dont know what to do.

A: THAT ISN'T ACTUALLY A QUESTION BUT MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE USING THE PROPER ITEMS, DEXTERITY IS KING AND YOU NEED A LOT OF IT.
---
Q: What is this giant orange line on your skill tree?

A: THAT IS SPLIT PERSONALITY, YOU TRY TO GET AS MANY CONSECUTIVE POINTS AWAY FROM THE START OF YOUR TREE AS POSSIBLE.
---
Q: (Insert type of split personality jewel here) is REALLY expensive... can I use a different one?

A: SURE, THE BEST ONE IMO IS DEX/STR, FOLLOWED BY DEX / LIFE, FOLLOWED BY DEX / ANYTHING ELSE.
---
Q: Can I go "insert other ascendancy here"?

A: SURE BUT THAT IS A DIFFERENT BUILD SO DONT BLAME ME IF IT ISNT GOOD OR DOESNT WORK.
---
Q: I am intimidated by the cluster jewels... can I avoid them?

A: THEY ARE KIND OF NEEDED. YOU DO NOT NEED TO GET 3 NOTABLE LARGE CLUSTERS, 2 IS PERFECTLY FINE AND WAY CHEAPER. MORE
ABOUT CLUSTERS BELOW.
---
Q: Why do you always type in all caps in here?

A: BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO KNOW IT IS IMPORTANT!
also because its easier to read on certain screens, the font for lower case in PoB kinda sucks IMO.




======================REQUIRED ITEMS=======================



YOU WILL NEED TO OBTAIN ALL OF THESE BEFORE EVEN THINKING ABOUT PLAYING THIS BUILD.


ONE WITH NOTHING (SMALL CLUSTER JEWEL)
ASTRAMENTIS


THESE ITEMS ARE HEAVILY SUGGESTED BUT NOT 100% NEEDED TO BEGIN.

WILD WRAP
FRACTAL THOUGHTS
GARUKHAN'S FLIGHT
TASTE OF HATE


======================LEVELING SECTION======================



THIS IS NOT A LEAGUE START VIABLE BUILD. DO NOT LEAGUE START AS IT UNLESS YOU WANT TO CRY YOURSELF TO SLEEP.


-----------------------------------THINGS TO GRAB FOR LEVELLING-----------------------------------
 
UNIQUES
   Tabula Rasa
   Goldrim
   Wanderlust
   Astramentis
   One With Nothing



-----------------------------------ABILITIES TO USE-----------------------------------



IF YOU CHECK IN THE SKILLS SECTION YOU WILL SEE EARLY GAME ABILITIES AND SETUPS. THE SUPPORT GEMS ARE IN ORDER OF IMPORTANCE.

MEANING IF YOU HAVE A 4 LINK USE THE FIRST 4 GEMS, 5 LINK USE THE 5TH ETC.



-----------------------------------LEVELING THE BUILD-----------------------------------



I SUGGEST THAT YOU START WITH SMITE, YOU CAN ALSO USE FROST BLADES WITH A SWORD IF YOU REALLY WANT TO.

RUSH IMMEDIATELY TOWARDS THE CLUSTER JEWEL SLOT, SLOT IN THE SMALL CLUSTER FOR HOLLOW PALM TECHNIQUE AND THEN START SLAPPING
BADDIES INTO THE NEXT DIMENSION.

YOU WILL LITERALLY ONE SHOT EVERYTHING FOR MOST OF THE CAMPAIGN WITH JUST ASTRAMENTIS AND THE CLUSTER.

YOU CAN SWAP TO ICE CRASH AT 28 IF YOU LIKE OR YOU CAN STICK WITH SMITE FOR THE WHOLE CAMPAIGN, UP TO YOU. CHECK THE SKILLS.



-----------------------------------ASCENDANCIES-----------------------------------

WHILE LEVELLING IT IS ADVISED THAT YOU DO THE FIRST ASCENDANCY AS SOON AS YOU ARE ABLE (AROUND LEVEL 30) AS IT IS A HUGE BOOST TO MOVEMENT
SPEED AND CLEAR SPEED.

THE FOLLOW UP ONES ARE NOT AS POWERFUL BUT I STILL SUGGEST DOING THEM WHEN YOU CAN.

---

ONCE YOU HIT MAPS YOU SHOULD LOOK TO FILL OUT THE ITEMS IN THE BUDGET ITEM SET AS WELL AS CHANGE OVER TO THE LINKS AND SKILLS USED
IN THE ENDGAME SETUP.



======================PLAYING THE BUILD======================



THIS BUILD IS VERY SIMPLE TO PLAY, HIT THINGS MANY TIMES WITH BIG FISTS.

ICE CRASH IS YOUR MAIN DAMAGE, SAVE YOUR COOLDOWNS (FLASKS AND TOTEMS) POP FROST BOMB AND THEN WAIL
ON THE BOSS UNTIL THEY GO HOME CRYING TO THEIR GRAMMA.

OTHERWISE THIS IS A VERY SIMPLE, RUN AND SLAM BUILD.


======================GETTING 5 OFFCOLORS ON THE CHESTPIECE======================



YOU SHOULD START WITH THE BRISKWRAP CHESTPIECE, BUY A 6 LINK IF YOU CAN.

COLOR IT WITH EITHER CHROMES OR THE BENCH TO 3 RED 3 GREEN.

UPGRADE IT WITH THE PROPHECY AND THEN USE THE NON RED -> RED HARVEST CRAFT TO OBTAIN THE FINAL COLORS.


======================CLUSTER JEWELS======================



THE SMALL CLUSTER JEWEL THAT PROVIDES HOLLOW PALM TECHNIQUE IS MANDATORY.

YOU CAN'T PLAY THE BUILD WITHOUT IT, SORRY.

AS FOR THE LARGE AND MEDIUM CLUSTERS

LARGE

YOU DO NOT NEED THE FULL 3 PASSIVE CLUSTERS, YOU ARE MAINLY LOOKING TO GET VENGEFUL COMMANDER
AND ANY OTHER GOOD NOTABLES YOU CAN FIND.

MAKE SURE THEY ARE 8 PASSIVE TOTAL AS THAT WILL SAVE POINTS.

MEDIUM

YOURE JUST LOOKING FOR VENGEFUL COMMANDER ON A 4 PASSIVE MEDIUM CLUSTER

IT HAS TO BE 4 PASSIVE IF YOURE GOING FOR *JUST* VENGEFUL. IF YOU GET A SECOND NOTABLE IT CAN BE 5 PASSIVE.




======================SPLIT PERSONALITY TREE======================


THE GOAL HERE IS TO MAKE A HUGE WINDING TREE TO MAXIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF STATS WE GET FROM THESE JEWELS.

I HEAVILY SUGGEST YOU USE THE ALTERNATE TREE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND HAVE THE JEWELS.


======================FINAL THOUGHTS======================



THIS BUILD FULFILLED EVERY HOPE AN EXILE COULD DREAM OF IN A ZOOMY SLAMMER JAMMER BUILD.

TRY IT, YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.
