PoE Occultist, Ruthless, SSF builds

With a lot of content creators showing off their insane progress, it felt a bit weird that i was proud that i made it to maps on the first weekend, so i kinda got inspired by that to share and document my experience &x200B; A bit about myself I have played about 500 hours total in PoE, very sprinkled out over years and Leagues.
