MrTastix's Notes

---------- Disclaimer ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 3.16 Scourge League is reworking the core skill tree in a way even veteran players haven't seen in a few years. With this said, I have done my best to provide an up-to-date POB with the latest info available to us, but as usual, if you see any mistakes or things that could be improved upon please don't hesistate to leave a comment on the related video on YouTube. ---------- Notes ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 30/10/2021: Added leveling trees --------- Notes ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - BANDITS: Kill All - PANTHEON: Lunaris and Abberath - Rare Gear is a guideline, not a rule. It shows the minimum recommended affixes at average rolls but feel free to mix and match the resists - Getting Chaos Resistance is a good idea but can dramatically increase the cost of the item - Quality is only on gems that need it - Gem level is important; some gems do not require leveling - Try and replace any supports with Awakened variants when you can - If you don't mind maintaining an additional DOT, replacing Efficacy on Vortex with Creeping Frost is a noticeable damage boost ---------- Leveling Notes ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Orb of Storms with Stormblast Mine is a top-tier speed leveling method that'll likely outpace Cold Snap until you get Vortex and your first Ascendancy point. Leveling as Cold Snap + Creeping Frost is always an option, though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you're stuck don't be afraid to pop into one of my streams; I'm always willing to lend a hand. Have fun! ~ Mr. Tastix https://twitch.tv/rtastix
