= HOW TO USE =
= =
====================
- Navigate to "Tree" tab then choose a passive tree in the bottom-left dropdown menu (next to "About"), according to your progress.
- Adjust your current character level at the top
- Put on and edit example gear or import your own stuff with the Import/Export Build feature.
- Adjust gem levels and quality, and enable optional gems if used.
- Configure anything relevant in the Configuration tab.
IMPORTANT: the Custom Modifiers section in the Configuration tab contains Animate Guardian gear bonuses (POB can't calculate them automatically). Remove/comment the ones you don't have on your AG and adjust accordingly
Other important notes:
- All example rare gear pieces use the most recommended affixes for that slot with average rolls.
- Activate Flasks to see their impact on DPS or defense.
- Gems that don't need quality or need to stay at a certain level are shown like that, all others are defaulted at 20/20.

IMPORTANT: you only need 5-links on the body armour so there's no point in searching for already linked ones. It's very cheap and easy to get 6-sockets and 5-links yourself, which means you can buy cheap non-linked armours with great mods.

======= JEWELS =======
IMPORTANT: you can roll various implicits on non-corrupted jewels using Harvest; the best one would be "15% chance to Avoid being Stunned". With so many jewels + socketing 2 of them in Darkness Enthroned you can easily become STUN IMMUNE! Even getting 60-70% is still a huge deal and you will never really get stunned

OPTIONAL (very high budget) - you can also use a Forbidden Flame + Forbidden Flesh pair of jewels. Keep in mind you can get Commander of Darkness, Bone Barrier or Mistress of Sacrifice on these jewels, in which case you should respec those ascendancy passive points and get Plaguebringer as your 5th ascendancy passive
