NOTES:

For new players who literally have no idea about the game, like recently just installed the game, I suggest to go straight to the "Leveling/Skill Tree" Section of this guide. This section will literally hold your hand until you have better idea of the game.

PoB Pastebin: https://pastebin.com/1U923EfP "(Thanks to Dracos_Pire for providing the link). This is for the people who always use PoB instead of the browser



BANDITS:

Spoiler
The stats that the Bandits gives in 3.14 for helping any of them doesn't really benefit us well, so I pick to KILL ALL OF THEM for the passive


ASCENDANCY:

Spoiler

-You will want to grab Mindless Aggression after Normal Lab, then Unnatural strength after Cruel Lab (this will bump up your damage by a lot), then go Mistress of Sacrifice, and finally go Commander of Darkness
-Once you are in T15s/T16s, you can switch to Bone Barrier and take off Commander of Darkness since Bone Barrier will outscale Commander of Darkness in the endgame. We pick Commander of Darkness over Bone Barrier because it makes the early/mid game smoother.
-I added a photo below for newer players who won't know what ascendancy is.
-Also, here a link for a quick overview of how to unlock them: https://pathofexile.fandom.com/wiki/Trial_of_Ascendancy



PANTHEONS:

Spoiler

Press "Y" to open up your Pantheons. This will help a bunch when getting to mid/end game as mobs hurt more.
-You will want to use Soul of Lunaris for damage mitigation for your major god
- Use Soul of Gruthkul for additional physical damage mitigation


LINKS:

Spoiler

-Here are the links I am currently using for the build, also includes movement gems, aura, and Quality of life skills and supports.



-Here is an expensive tankier/block build and links. You need a six link lioneye's eye chest with 5B/1G for this link to work. You will then replace Pierce support gem with Lesser Multiple Projectile for faster map clear. Switch LMP with Point Blank Support gem if you want to min/max during single boss fights.

easy build , since act 6 literally one shooting every boss and just finished leveling.

is there any "high end" version of this build , like lvl100 skill tree and bis items ?
or is the "current gear" tab already enough to beat all endgame ?

hope u will put some more work in the guide if u have time cuz i think i will play it the whole league , its extreme fun.

So far really like the build. Still early on with it but have hit every ultimatum with 100% completion since act 1.

Disclaimer: You can pretty much ignore this post if you're someone who's already done a build so strong that just breathing inside a map one shots everything, this is purely from a VERY new player POV.

Thoughts on the build: As a new player it is an absolute blessing how easy it was for me to just run through Acts 1 to 10 (Just killed Kitava about an hour ago from writing this) with little to no trouble using this build, I died maybe just a handful of times(?) throughout my entire playthrough and I feel like as a new player I should've died a lot more than that. Being able to cast skeletons to face check rooms for you is so helpful as a new player.

A genuinely cheap build, and trust me when I say cheap, I had 0 chaos orbs and just managed to follow the build just fine (although I did get lucky with a Tabula apparently) with the chaos orbs I found during my playthrough. If I had to say the rough amount I spent for this build, maybe 30-60? chaos orbs, didn't really count. But as a new POE player, this build and guide altogether was a genuine blessing for me and made me enjoy the game to its fullest.

Thank you very much for creating this guide, I really can't thank you enough. :)

Just wanna say thanks for this guide. Really enjoyed this build guide and I just bodied my first A4 Sirus deathless, never beat him first time on any build. Super easy to gear and push, found a sticking point on the Vaal Temple Trio but aside from that, no issues at any point with any league mechanics or bosses so far.
