Notes

I'm not sure what I am doing here. But I have some thoughts:

Gearing:

	- This is aimed at an SSF leaguestart. I am sure that you could pick up some very useful uniques in trade that would help numbers go BRR (ie Mings Heart, Covenant, Asenath's Gentle Touch).

	- I literally yoinked all the gear from people who built this on Occultist and Trickster on POE Ninja. Also I straight up copied items with very few changes from Ziz's TR Pathfinder because I wanted Armour/Evasion bases and was too lazy

	- I think I can get Dark Temptation cards from Delve chests to farm up an Obliteration - thats why it is on the gearing list

	- I haven't even played that much SSF, this is aspirational content for me

Tree Choices

	- You could grab more life, or less, depending on how well that Pathfinder ascendancy works out

	- if AOE radius is a problem, its 4 points to get to Arcane Expanse. Not sure if its worth it or necessary

	- You could get stun immune for 3 points at Perfectionist

	- Magebane could be useful to hit suppression cap if gearing is hard

Things I'm Not Sure About

	- Chance to Poison - We are at 105% chance to poison with Toxic Strikes annointed, on cursed enemies. I don't have enough experience with this skill to know if 90% and a different annoint would be better.

	- Links - I kinda just used a combination of what POB suggested and what people seemed to be using on POE Ninja/Crouching_Tuna's BV Occultist. There may be better options, especially unsure of chance to poison support (see above point)

	- Jewels/Clusters - You may notice that these are empty. Maybe I want more life, maybe chaos damage, maybe reservation efficiency - who knows? Also I didn't want to include a cluster until I find one in-game.

	- Chaos Mastery - Is that chance to apply 15 wither stacks worth it? I don't know...

	- Ascendancy Choices - I think that both of the Chaos/Poison nodes are probably worth more than 30% flask effect, but maybe someone else knows better.
