HadCXW's Notes
After the levelling guide video, I continued pushing the character into maps (yes scourge league got extended) and transitioned it to CI. I've only spent about 50 hours in-game (SSF) with this character so it's FAR from min-maxed. It'll be a good indication to how far/fast we can go in SSF/leaguestart. I killed A8 Sirus (3 times) and Catarina in this 50 hours and I didn't push it very hard so it'll be much faster in trade league or if you're a better player. Lots of newer players in Path of Exile has trouble progressing past white maps and never killed late game bosses like Sirus and Guardian so now you can do it even without buying any gears!
You'll see that the transition from Act 10 to mapping and CI is really smooth and the passive refund points from the Acts are more than enough for the transition.
In trade league, you can easily transit to one of the low-life versions with the currency earned from farming Catarina, conquerors, guardians, Sirus etc.
I've transited this to LL with the Shavronne Wrapping I found, hopefully I've have enough time (and LUCK!) to properly finish it.
I hope you enjoy this video, leave a comment if you have question. Don't forget to like and subscribe!
[POE 3.17 post-patchnote update] - this build is buffed with higher hit damage for all 3 spells used and no nerf to support gems or defences. The buff is not much (since we rely mostly on DOT dmg) but it’ll be noticeable in levelling.
POB (3.16) : https://pastebin.com/kDeCYwSX
This POB includes the levelling trees, lvl80 CI and lvl94 CI. There are two items set (levelling an CI) so make sure you'll seeing the right items. I didn't use Malevolance until much later when I can afford the mana. I'm still amazed that it's possible to cramp 7 auras into a CI build in SSF.
