Our default recommendation is:Ĭhoose one of these two links. It could be used for a golem, a Portal gem, a Decoy Totem, or anything that you like to incorporate into your build to improve quality of life. The fourth gem in this link is a matter of preference. You’ll also want to include Blood Rage in the item that contains this linkage, but it gains no benefit from being linked and prevents the necessity for a second 6-Link in your build. If you are encountering errors importing the build, please ensure you are using the Community Fork. We use the Path of Building Community Fork for all of our builds, which is highly recommended.

For simplicity’s sake, Resistances have been left out and you should fill them out yourself based on what gear is available. Included are all the skill trees, recommended gear, and an example set of mid-level gear with room for upgrades. Path of Buildingįind our recommended Passive Skill Trees, all from the comfort of Path of Building found here. There are advocates for both sides of this coin, but our recommendation is to play with Crimson Dance. You can somewhat compensate for this by properly using Vaal Earthquake to quickly stack your Crimson Dance. Crimson Dance offers much higher bleed dps, which is great for bosses and tanky rares, but the bleed off of a single Earthquake is less. Playing without Crimson Dance gives your Earthquake a single powerful bleed, which can be advantageous for clear if enemies survive your Earthquake/Aftershock combo.

Nodes above Resolute Technique (Large Jewel socket, Devotion, Endurance, and Jewel Socket) are optional and be left for last or used as points for a Cluster JewelĬrimson Dance is entirely optional but provides noticeably better single target damage in the late game.

Balance your defenses and acquire more Life and Endurance charges as you need them.

Adamant is the lowest priority node on the tree.

Leave Jewel sockets for the 90s unless you have high quality Jewels ready to socket.

Prioritize Axe and Physical damage nodes while leveling and start enhancing your bleed as you enter the latter half of the leveling process.

Call to Arms is optional - try with and without and choose based on your preference.

Prioritize Warcry related notables as soon as you have access to Seismic Cry.

Scoop up Resolute Technique immediately to ensure you are not missing any Earthquakes.
