Notes

********************************* Should you play this build? ******************************************

Pros:
-High damage early(designed to run sanctum as Early as possible)
-Targeted strategy to push wealth early which allows snowballing upgrades 
-Scales well with every upgrade can make sizable gains

Cons:
-Very SQUISHY early, this is designed for Sanctum, DO NOT play if planning to go into maps unless you have an idea of respecs to do for specifically mapping.
-Late Game Crazy special new enchants in the mechanic probably won't work with energy blade(tested with current enchants and currently the enchants disappear on activated energy blade

KEY NOTE: This build is for sanctum rush into tri-stack swap which does the rest of the game. (NOT RECOMMENDED for mapping start)


********************************* Skill Gem Setups to Try on build ******************************************

Penance brand of dissipation is the best for sanctum(very good damage, can dodge mechanics with full dps uptime, ideal for sanctum) (BUY This off trade, do not try and self farm it)

Other skills will work like basic firestorm or frostbolt ice nova ect, but I would highly recommend penance for ideal sanctum pushing.

IMPORTANT: Quality on Energy blade = 10% more es(10% more damage), with enhance =20% more es/damage, prioritize quality on this first, then other gems(IE if lab font gives you good quality then put it on EB)

********************************* Leveling ******************************************

Scuffed Leveling Vod Finishing Campaign/PreppingCurrencyForEarlySanctumGear: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2202754844?t=00h13m10s

Vendor Regex(use in act 1/2): b-b-b|b-b|r-b|b-r|g-r|r-g|nne|rint

This tree is setup for generic fire spell hit based leveling with 10 or less respecs in order to full swap into tree for the first sanctum.

First Lab = Battlemage: Prioritize high flat damage weapon in mainhand(sword or axe that you id with high flat damage(upgrade as you find better weapons while leveling)

Damage Skills: Level as Magma Orb + Combustion + Ele Prolif Until you get arma brand OR firestorm(firestorm easier but bit slower clear & similar damage) + cremation (good links to use are immolate/combustion/faster casting/unleash(firestorm only)/conc/cruelty/Greater multiple Proj OR Pinpoint(cremation only))
							IF brand + arma then get Desecrate + Brand Recall from act 2(cruelty is great support reward from silk				

Movement Skills: (Leap Slam OR Shield Charge)+ momentum(mule a ranger)/Faster Attacks(do siosa for this or wait till act 6) + Frostblink/Flamedash

Aura Skills: Purity of Elements/Haste + (Clarity or Arctic Armour) while leveling Then swap auras based on what stage of the POB 

Curse: Punishment

Bandits: Help Alira(15 all ele res less gear pressure) OR Oak(40 life, harder to res cap, better late game scaling) //// 8% movespeed is decent but i think leap slam is ideal and less dependent on movespeed

Buy Gems from lily(act 6) to Level in offhand: Spellblade support x 1 / Crit Damage / increased Crit Strike / Assassin's Mark / Discipline / As soon as you can buy Penance of dissipation, buy to level in offhand

********************************* How To Get First Easy Chaos to Buy Early Gear Items for Sanctum ******************************************

Pick up rogue markers/demo contracts throughout campaign

Starting at lvl 60 check vendor in heist for demolition contracts(these specifically drop chaos alot from the '?' Side chests

The vendor will reset every level 

5-10 missions should net 10-20c which you will use to buy the key items first

OMEGA Early
SSF id rares till you get currency then start purchasing some of the recommended early uniques(keep an eye out for good flat damage one hand weapons for battlemage)

EARLY
1st Ring: Lori's Lantern Decent res + movespeed + Damage unlucky solid defensive(very strong for price, only need one of these)
2nd Ring: Rare Life/Es + Res ideally it should be better than second loris stat wise(unlucky is big part of reason to do lori's)
Helmet: Malachai's Simula 20% double dam, gets us Bloodmagic early
Body armour: Ghostwrithe allows us to go Energyblade because very good ES scaling on low gear power
Amulet: Carnage Heart or Mediocre Rare amulet will do
Boots: Rare with life/res/movespeed -> Kaom's Roots(these boots are no longed mandatory as we can technically now run the new stun mastery but I still like them, up to you)
Gloves: Kalisa's Grace(use for self cast 5L) 
Belt: Rare with strength + res/life(ideal base is heavy)
Shield: Rare ES shield ideally titanium with decent ES
Main hand weapon:(any one hand weapon like sword/axe with decent base attack speed(relevant for boss death ball phases where you can turn off e-blade and still leap slam around))

Mid-Game(swapped to Tri-stack)
Rings: Good rare, use the trade search & get fairly high attribute/chaos res
Amulet: Astramentis
Helmet: Curtain Call
Belt: Cyclopean Coil
Boots: Rare (high attribute + life + movespeed + chaos res)
Body armour: Ivory Tower(REQUIRES Balbala SetUP)
Shield: Rathpith
Gloves: Shaper's Touch
Weapon: one hand weapon with abyss socket

End-game
Rings: Rare Helical(harder to craft but can save with recombine sometimes) Fractured t1 Int/Str -> attribut catalyst -> essence of scorn till t1 int or str -> suffixes can't be changed veild chaos
Amulet: Simplex Amulet with Awakener orbed %str + %attr -> anul benchcraft life on prefix(or veiled chaos) / OR do a three-rat / OR gigachad eyes of greatwolf (check costs of various options, fairly comparable in power)
Helmet: Curtain Call
Belt: Cyclopian Coil Max Roll with %attribute corruption & quality
Boots: Rare fracture t1 Str/Int + Fundamental/Sanctified/Hollow Fossil combo till T1 str/int + abyss socket -> suffix can't veiled chaos + block slam
Body armour: Ivory Tower
Shield: Rathpith
Gloves: Shaper's Touch
Weapon: one hand weapon with abyss socket


JEWELS To Look for:
Rare Jewels: %life/%es/Str&int/All attribute/Crit multi
Adorned: this jewel is probably still BiS in late game BUT requires a very good roll and basically perfectly divined magic jewels(only for very min-max IMO)
Emperor's Mastery: Best jewel the build can get but very expesive and not necessary
Life Grand Spectrums: Solid options but quite expensive and only marginally better than good rare jewels
Split Personality: Str + Int / Str +Dex / Int+Dex (use whichever combination helps balance attributes the best, likely combinations with dex(depends on attribute on gear)
Watchers Eye: Evade% /%suppress / spell block / regen / recovery / gain on hit / ect good with discipline


********************************* Mana ******************************************

Mana Solutions to aim for early: 15% skill cost as mana as first life mastery + clarity OR by act 4 lvl38 put the 50% reservation on eternal blessing and just have a full mana pool. Regardless need to combine with mana flask throughout acts.
Mana Solutions to aim for in later setups: Late game solution -> blood magic + eternal youth (sometimes life recharge turns off in predicitive mod, this is a bug with internet, swap to lockstep should help avoid this)

Eternal Youth DOWNSIDE: There are a select few mechanics in poe that turn off recovery, Exarch ground(i think not 100% sure)/Sirus Ground/Maven Degen beam if you get hit by or stand in one of these
the life recharge will be deactivated for 2+ seconds thus softlocking skill use for a bit. Simply Avoid Sirus/exarch Ground mod on T17s & you have to play around those mechanics in ubers, very doable(sirus is the only real problematic one imo)

********************************* Eternal Youth BUG ******************************************

sometimes life recharge turns off in predicitive mod, this is a bug with internet, swap to lockstep should help avoid this
but it happens on occasion to people based on what people have told me, I've run into this issue a few times but its very rare and generally for most people predictive fixes the issue


********************************* Snacks ******************************************

S-Tier:
Water(only drink you will ever need)
Cheeze itz are goated S tier snack 
Doughnuts(best snacking desert there is)
Eggs -> scrambled/omelet/breakfast sandwich combo, always good no matter how you make em


A-Tier:
Cereal -> time efficient breakfast to get gaming faster(i recommend granola)
Dino Nuggies(fairly time efficient, we can pretend its meal) (pair with mac-cheese)
Frozen Pizza(fairly time efficient also kindof technically a meal)
Taquitos(idk how good these are, but chat seems to love and won't shut up about it)
Mac-Cheese = Easy/Time Efficient we can pretend this is almost a meal (pair with dino nuggies)
Club Crackers solid snack easy and affordable
Gold fish (i'd put this in S-tier if my babies had more control of this list)
Oreos/Preffered Cookie + Milk (pretty min-max for taste value but does require setup of milk & oreos -1 minute efficiency)
Milk/Protein Shake-> delicious/filling -> requires a blender
Peanuts the most notable nut there is, personally i like honey roasted but you do you
Potatoes -> great build diversity, can min-max into basically any meal (do not consume raw)


B-Tier:
Asiago Bagels + cream cheese (decently time efficient but mid risk of cream cheesing your keyboard)
Ice Cream(bit less time efficient but tastes amazing, i recommend peanut butter + vanilla ice cream + dark choco chips that you keep in freezer)
Fruit snacks (easy & convenient) but will screw your teeth
Smoothie(dealers choice of ingredients) decent setup time, not a tasty as a shake probably healthier
Pretzels maximize water efficiency and help you pretend you aren't starving from lack of real food (add in whipped creamed cheese and it goes to A-tier)
Cashews Delicious and a bit more cost efficient than pistachios
Tea bit of setup time with boiling water but fantastically soothing
Chipotle -> delicious but super costly if you pay to deliver OR you brick your time efficiency by going to store
Eggo Waffles -> pretty solid time efficiency, charlotte loves these
Quesadilla -> cost efficient & easy to make solid flavor
Chips & Salsa (not my thing but a staple classic for many, just don't spill the salsa) +add guac for 10 points of flavor but -10 in time it takes to mash up the avocado
Oatmeal -> pretty filling, results in high end gaming, not BiS flavour but gets the job done


C-Tier:
Hotdogs Fairly time efficient, quality will vary greatly depending on what dogs you get and how you cook them (F tier= microwave, A tier if grilled with high quality dogs)
Pistachios super tasty but kinda p2w nut
Honey Buns -> tasty unhealthy fast & you will need to wash hands
Beef Jerky (mid taste in my opinion but if thats your thing it could jump up some tiers due to time efficiency/ease)
Gummy Bears -> solid but will get stuck to teeth which feels bad
Grilled Cheese Decent time consumption, high flavor, can vary greatly on how its made


D-Tier:
Hot-Pocket(time efficient, seem way worse than I remember)(will probably burn your tongue)
Cheetos/Doritos => tasty snakc but finger debuff will destroy your keyboard/efficiency
Reese's -> RIP teeth
Skittles -> RIP teeth
Star Burst -> RIP teeth


F-Tier:
Popcorn -> thing will get stuck in teeth, GG - multiple hours due to pure tilt and efficiency loss
Every other drink known to mankind (bud light)
raisins -> just a creeper version of a grape
BabyCarrots/Cucumbers w/ humus(too healthy, almost like you know what the sun looks like)
Poptarts super time efficient but you will feel dirty on the inside eating them & they kinda suck now
Apples
Pokimane Cookies(you disappoint me)
Door-Dash -> giga expensive, could have gotten a new pc
