❰Path of Exile 3.19 Lake of Kalandra❱ Carrion Golem Occultist League Starter!

Notes and Tips: Act 1 NOTES - - When getting precision and vitality in act 1, make sure to keep them low level until you get the mana reservation nodes later on down the line. You will want to be able to run determination and dread banner asap for better clear and survivability. - We take the minion resist node early to help with the Act 1 end boss. These nodes will be respecced later in Act 3. Be sure to do some side quests for respec points. You'll need 5 respec points. Act 2 NOTES - - Do the right side first, then the left. ****BANDITS ARE KILL ALL**** Act 3 NOTES - - Socket pressure is starting to increase here. I would really recommend finding solid Armor/Es pieces for your Red and Blue gem links and Armor/Evasion pieces for your Gem and Red gems. I've leveled this build 3 times now and its not hard to get what you need. As always keep up with resists where you can, refer to the skills menu for the relevant Act gems and their colors to adjust your gear accordingly. (Be mindful of jewelers orbs (sockets), fusing orbs (links), and chromatics (socket colors) to help you along the way). - ALOT of our gems come from the libary in act 3. ****DO NOT SKIP THIS QUEST**** --- Currency you will need for the Libary --- I choose Meat Shield as the quest reward. You can take feeding frenzy as well, youever you prefer. 1 - Orb of Chance - 3 - Orb's of Alteration - Defiance Banner / Determination / 1 - Orb of Transmutation - Maim - It is highly recommended that you respec from the Resist Minion nodes on the right side to the minion life and regen nodes by the end of Act 3 or Early Act 4. This will require 5 respec points and will be needed in order to not have all ALL your minions die to Piety when you first fight her in Act 4. Act 4 NOTES - - 4 Links will be pretty common from here on out, be on the lookout for what you need according to the skills menu in this POB. - ****VERY IMPORANT**** Run with the 4L zombie setup from Act 3 until you get your multi strike, then you can make the switch to carrion golem. At this poiint your zombie will be support inflicing Maim and giving your minions feeding frenzy. (This will change in the end game, as per the skills menu above). - I was able to kill Piety with a 4L Carrion and 4L Zombie Support Setup...WITHOUT my first normal lab. I suggest you do your first lab before you fight her and make things that much eaiser. Act - 5 - 10 - Refer to the skills menu your links but they won't be changing too much from here on out. - ***VERY IMPORANT*** Only have Precision and Dread banner linked to generosity support gem. Whatever 4th gem you can fit into the gear slot, make sure that it is either a skill assassians mark. If said gem is an aura or such, MAKE SURE THAT GEM IS NOT LINK TO GENEROSITY. I.E. Determination or Vitality. If that 4th gem is linked, you will not benefit from it whatsoever. So please make sure that it is not. - You'll notice that in the end game setup, skitterbots is linked to unbound ailements. The way I have the tree setup, this will occur once you reach the mid 80's in level. This is achieved through the Determination mastery we take with lessen the mana reservation requirement on that skill. Thus allowing us to link one dps support gem to our skitterbots. Save for those 2 bits of information, feel free to start morphing your gem setup to the end game setup listed in the skills menu above, once you reach maps. Other tips and related information to the build - - If you want to deviate from the pre detrmined path on the skill tree to get more life over buffing your minions thats isnt a bad idea. I just prefer to get them buff asap for better clear and bossing in the acts. If your new-ish, by all means grab some early life :D - The first 3 acts are a bit slow, not terrible but not amazing. This build really comes together once you get your spectre and your 4L. Once you got that youll be off to the races! - Don't skimp on convocation. It will save your life and will save you time and help you keep up with experience. USE IT! - Tip 5 also applies to flesh offering. USE IT! - If you are using this guide and reading this, thank you so much. I am a new build maker and it really just makes my day that your using one of my guides. I wish you the best in the league and please, come over to my YT or Twitch @tabl3s and let me know how you liked the build. Take care! - Searing and Eater mods - Look for anything with Minion life and/or damage, chaos resist, life regen, ele resist. Really whatever you feel like you need. - AG cost is probably around 100c on league start but VERY WORTH the investment, believe me! - Despite the AG having more levels and meat shield, it can still very much die! On a test run mine died to a strong box that blew up all nearby bodies. Completely wiped out my AG. So please be careful in T16 maps. Convocation is quite nice to avoid the deaths of your minions.
