Travic's Notes
My Covens of Umbra league start plan: level a Witch Necromancer with Absolution, then switch to Chains of Command, funded by Blighted Maps farming.
Covens of Umbra is the first Path of Exile 1 league in a long time that has me this hyped. In this video I go through the Path of Building that my buddy Necrom and I are working on. It covers the full route: Act 1 leveling, the Vaal Absolution power spike in Act 2, the gem setups for each act, the Necromancer Ascendancy order, and the final move into Chains of Command and Animate Guardian.
Important: this plan isn't final yet. The video was recorded before the patch notes came out, and the PoB includes some expensive items (Foulborn Severed in Sleep, Voidforge). Those are goals to work toward. You won't have them on day one. I also explain how I plan to farm the currency for them, mostly with Blighted Maps, so watch that part before you decide whether this league starter fits your budget. I'll update the PoB and Mobalytics after the patch notes.
