3 22 Journey to Poison SRS & Full Levelling PoB Guide

Hi, garf412 here, and this is based primarily on Balormage's Poison SRS guide (found here = https://youtu.be/ASf98VLyXTo?si=zsWHR3UteRq8a65u ) This version is amended from that, based on my own experience leveling / playing looking at PoE Ninja & how Balor setup his own End Game build(s).
