==================== = = = VIDEO GUIDE = = = ==================== The detailed video guide can be found here: https://youtu.be/IhS2SZbjLJs ==================== = = = HOW TO USE = = = ==================== - Navigate to "Tree" tab then choose a passive tree in the bottom-left dropdown menu (next to "About"), according to your progress. - Adjust your current character level at the top - Put on and edit example gear or import your own stuff with the Import/Export Build feature. - Adjust gem levels and quality, and enable optional gems if used. - Configure anything relevant in the Configuration tab. ==================== = = = IMPORTANT = = = ==================== - Activate Flasks to see their impact on DPS or defense. - Gems that don't need quality or need to stay at a certain level are shown like that, all others are defaulted at 20/20. ==================== = = = GEMS = = = ==================== NOTE: the acquisition of the gems from vendors is based on the class of the build. If you have alts or chars that have already completed Act 6, then you can use them to buy the missing gems. For example: Leap Slam can be acquired by a Marauder after finishing the quest "The Caged Brute" (Act 1), but the same is not available for a Witch. NOTE #2: if a quest has as reward 2 or more gems that you need, take one and you can buy the other from one of the NPCs in town (each act has a specific NPC selling gems).
