[POE1: 3.27] Part 2: Sanctum Rush Full Progression Guide - Penance Brand of Dissipation Inquisitor

Leveling: See Kua's POB in his spreadsheet for leveling. Once you get to Lvl 55 (end of act 7 approximately), start doing Demolition and Lockpicking Heist for early chaos. Buy starting uniques (COTB first). Do Perception/Counter or Engineering so that you level up to refresh contract vendor to keep doing infinite heist Regex: "demol|lockpi" "demol|lockpi|Percept|Counter|Engineering" Lvl 83 Scuffed: Lvl 70-75 Comfy Sanctum 75-79 doable but can be rough Magnate makes 75-79 fine Spectres + Levels + Jewel sockets to push into comfy 83s Upgrades: Automate Silver Flask, lvl 72 tome next Automate Other flasks next 70-75 (L79 Loadout) Non perfect Spectres (pain artist, spirit of fortune) 5 Link ghostwrith Repentence with high strength Astramentis 75-80 (L89 Loadout) magnate + Scuffed Clusters for QOL L83 Slightly underdamage (Lvl 90 Loadout) Perfect Spectres (spirit of fortune) + Taming (once u have Spirit of fortune) L83 Comfy: Annoint (divine judgement cheap) 4th Ascendancy 6 Link (u can use inc crit strikes to cap crit early without bitterbind. capping helps a lot with damage consistency) L90 Better Clusters 6L: Swap to swiftbrand (when u get brand equity notable) Better clusters, 3 jewels (1 corrupted blood immunity jewel) Very cheap Bitterbind with good Crit Roll (ignore the max spectres) Skipped +1 spectre bitterbind this league due to price, just got the cheapest one with good crit chance Around the 15mil dps mark, you will need 2 sets of full brands to kill lycia. Means u cant just brand once and beat phase 3 so make sure you place 2 sets of brands Power Charge Stacking: (around 30mil dps) NOTE: YOU WILL NEED A LOT OF GOLD FOR THIS SWAP IF YOU ARE BUYING USING ASYNC TRADE (100K-150K GOLD) Ralakesh Frenzy high ms Physical 3 notable large cluster Gruthuls Pelt is mandatory for guardian blessing for AG Remeber to fill in jewel sockets (flesh flame/watchers eye etc), you can use Sign of Purpose Flesh/Flame for a budget option (arcane blessing BIS) If getting a watcher's eye, get one with "+X% to Critical Strike Chance while affected by Hatred" to cap your crit Ventors Gamble with 5% mana reservation efficiency (mandatory until u get 8% mana reservation node in top right) Circle of anguish you probably want the fire rez while affected by herald of ash since u need to cap fire rez for righteous fire Brand mastery for jumping brands is optional, personal preference. Generally recommended once u get a lot of damage since it makes sure everything is frozen on screen Gloves: You want High Str and Dex since you need attributes (especially dex). You want open suffix for brand attachment range (QOL). Avoid a life roll since it makes your rf harder to sustain. Best Prefix is Physical Convert to cold. Crafting Guide: Buy Str 50+ Dex 50+ gloves with open prefix. Lock Suffixes, Veiled Chaos -> If Prefix pray for cold conversion, is suffix pray for brand attachment range BIS would be doing this on Gloves with the Temple Mod (Damage against Chilled enemies) and the 2 attribute mods, and praying Reminder to get Unnverve on Eldritch Implicits (Exarch) I'm dying to Righteous Fire: you need enough regen to sustain RF, lvl 21 vitality worked for me. but if it doesnt drop some life nodes or dont get life on gloves (also make sure you cap fire rez) You can also use the new graft that gives an endurance charge, since replica restless ward gives life regen per charge, you get a bit more regen reminder to avoid the increased defensives boon since it makes ur rf degen you (graft can help with this) Next Upgrades are: AG gear (mainly kingmaker 5d) once you get the 8% mana reservation on the top right of the tree near CI, you can drop ventors gamble for another ring (Kalandra's Touch, Circle of Anguish, Circle of Guilt, rare ring with arcane surge on hit etc) Should be around 45-50m dps (can start Balance of Terror Runs) [you can self farm ur own one which is what I did (ele weak BOT)] Penance Brand Gem Level: Awakened Fire damage lvl 5 (for +1 physical gem level) Corrupted Chestpiece with +2 to AOE or Duration Gems (Cost 5d) Empower lvl 4 21/20 Penance Brand of Dissapation After all these upgrades damage should be around 70m Watcher's Eye with "+X% to Critical Strike Chance while affected by Hatred" can be your final upgrade to cap your crit (or you get this earlier) Get it with another relevant mod (phy as extra lightning Wrath, cast speed zealotry etc look at watcher eye mods on poewiki or poedb) You should around 80m dps now Some other upgrades that I didnt go for: Heatshiver with +1 Power Charge Corruption (you will lose rez) [You will want physical to cold conversion on gloves for this otherwise your chill effect will be like 15%, taste of hate also helps] (30-50% more damage) OR Devoto's Devotion Nightmare Bascinet with +1 Power Charge Corruption (More Movement Speed but you will lose more rez) then Mageblood Explaining 2 Flask Mageblood: 1. Mageblood for sanctum runners is literally just for permanent onslaught (silver flask) and giga movement speed from quicksilver and flask suffix. Freeze Immunity is also an option but its whatever 2. Your 3rd and 4th flask are like generally diamond and sulphur: Diamond Flask -> Replaced with Bottled Faith: With Unique flasks you can get your crit from bottled faith (cause zealotry from spectre) Sulphur Flask doesnt do anything except the "increased damage" line. Stuff like taste of hate, Atziri Flask are actually just better DPS wise. So the end result is you pay 60d for a 2 flask mageblood (instead of 180d) and you get all the quality of life from mageblood (quicksilver, silver), and you get more damage from unique flasks. For Suffixes you want to prioritise Movement Speed during effect, and critical chance during effect (freeze immunity also an option but you wont be crit capped without assassins mark) Bit of a no brainer since it makes you farm even faster you will need a proper mageblood for no hit runnering setup but this is good for now
