I typically start working toward my CI swap as soon as I hit maps. I've made the switch as early as level 64 and as late as level 93. Keep in mind that there are 14 different trees in the PoB I've linked. You can switch trees in the dropdown menu on the bottom left below the skill tree. There is a tree made for an early CI swap as well as a tree for a late swap while still life-based. It's all abotu how quickly you can accumulate the ES gear and the respec points.

I'm not sure what so say, as you didn't really ask a question. Ending up with no more passive point should just mean that you don't have any unspent points, yes? That's a good thing. Don't forget that once you've killed Kitava in Act 10, you can type /passives into chat for a list of the skill point quests so make sure you've done them.

" Thank you, Shakker. Yes, I was doing some practice, and I feel so tanky while lvling. Maybe it's not like storm brand or worb fast cleaning, but I enjoy this build so far. When reaching maps, we still need to avoid elemental reflect map, don't we? Last edited by TxE4GL3k on May 2, 2019, 12:04:59 AM

" Technically, you can run Ele Reflect as long as you cast Vortex away from enemies and drag them into the degen pool. Damage over time isn't reflected, but this is tedious and hard to do and I don't recommend it. Cold DoT For Everyone: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2661120

Just wanted to take a minute to create an account so I could thank you for the hard work on this guide.
I'm now to PoE and basically using this to guide me through my first playthrough. Quick (newbie) question: I've just killed Kitava for the first time and am pretty much on-track with gear. I'm wondering why we are putting 3 attack skill gems in the weapon with no support gems - these are the spells that aren't being cast. What is the interaction that I'm missing? I noticed the Phase Run + Cast When Damage Taken; but don't know what's supposed to trigger Orb of Storms, Storm Brand, and Frost Bomb. EDIT: I found the answer while looking through the guide and comments - now I will try to unlock or buy the "Trigger a Socketed Spell when you Use a Skill" mod. Another question: Why are we leveling 6 Vortex gems in the weapon swap set? Last edited by Zereshkk on May 7, 2019, 5:15:25 PM

How can i create a logout macro?
That would help me to save several lifes. Especially when Jun appears and fps goes down and sometime it freezes. | |

Hey!
It's me again ;) Thanks for your awesome guide. Especially the leveling part helped me alot! Now I just beat Kitava in Act 10 and was starting to try crafting the Ultra Budget Gear but had a few questions regarding the process. So, as far as I understand the process should be like this: 1. Find a normal or magic ES based item with the required number of linked gems. 2. Quality up the item to 20%, if normal item, use orb of transmutation to make it magic 3. Color sockets as needed (easy for B gear, more diffictult for RRRG) 3. use alts to find get either ES or resist 4. use crafting bench to craft the other TBH, my major problem has been step 1 xD And additionally, whats the process when i end up with magic items that already have a prefix and a suffix and as such cannot be further crafted when using the alts? My guess for the moment my modus operanddi should be to try farming crafting currency and items to enchant before going maps? Whats the best place to farm such things, I'd guess Blood Aqueduct? | |

I'm glad you were able to find the answer to your first question. It can be a grind to unlock that veiled mod, but it's incredibly good.
We're leveling Vortex gems so when they hit level 20 and 20%, you can use a Vaal Orb on them. If you get a level 21 gem, you win! You can use the gem for even more DPS, or you can sell the gem for a good profit. Level 21 gems are valuable. PattyWin:

You can find the logout macro here.

Focus on getting the base you want. You can progress through yellow maps on a 4 Link easily, so just finding the base is the most important. You can 4 socket and 4 Link gear very easily. Additionally, the color socketing trick I wrote about in the guide will break links anyway.
You can still use Alts on magic gear. You're more likely to get 2 mod rolls, but you'll still hit 1 sometimes. To get your very initial ES gear, you can farm BA for some meh ES gear. Move onto maps asap for better bases and more currency while you save up for better gear. Cold DoT For Everyone: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2661120
