Notes

This PoB has a companion written guide at https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3294531. The written guide covers explanations & strategies for building & progression.

This PoB makes a few assumptions that you will acquire & equip certain items at the given points:

> Elemental Focus Support at level 18 (Act II)
> Siegebreaker/Replica Siegebreaker at level 44 (Act V)
> Tavukai at level 54 (Act VII)
> Summon Raging Spirit of Enormity after level 75 (after Eternal Lab)

You can be late in getting these, or (especially in the case of the gem) early. This is okay! Just keep in mind to follow ALL of the following rules. Failure to follow them can brick your build!

> ALWAYS use Infernal Legion Support if you do not have Tavukai.
> NEVER take a passive that grants minions elemental resistance (or gear that does the same, like a Bone Ring) + Infernal Legion Support at the same time.
> NEVER combine Elemental Army Support + Infernal Legion Support at the same time.
> NEVER combine Combustion Support + Elemental Focus Support at the same time.
> NEVER use Mark of the Red Covenent + Summon Raging Spirit of Enormity at the same time.
> NEVER use Increased Critical Damage Support without Summon Raging Spirit of Enormity.
> NEVER use Grand Spectrum without Summon Raging Spirit of Enormity.
> NEVER take Fearsome Force without Summon Raging Spirit of Enormity.

So if your build seems broken (minions don't explode, do little or no damage, etc.) re-check if you're following the above rules, ESPECIALLY all the ones that end with "at the same time," as well as the "ALWAYS" one at the top.

Beyond that, the included gear is mostly as a "target;" rare items are not required to match what is shown, merely to show what is "optimal" and you should set a goal of acquiring.
