I'm also liking the diaries, always nice to see what others are doing.

Here is what I am working with now, closing in on getting AL8 finally:

Seems like levels are super important on the build, been kinda struggling to find passives for fitting in clusters. Really loving my current aura setup, though I think my end goal is getting a curse on hit ring elder/hunter ring to pair with a Mark of the Shaper, Vile Bastion currently seems like a bit of a wasted ascendancy node.

2M Sirus DPS with Vortex alone now, stuff just melts, its lovely.

Try to get some strength on a ring. I saved 3 passive points to buying

Fair point, kinda leaving my rings alone because I wanna get my Mark of the Shaper today, will see if I can find a nice elder ring with Res and Strength on it. Might also take the plunge and get a nice pair of boots to replace sin trek with, sitting at 8k ES, can afford to drop a bit, same with getting a nice Crystal Belt.

Oh right. Totally forgot about that ring...hmmm now I want that setup aswell. Time to do some gear rework ...while at work...to fit it in.

Hello wanted to ask what nodes can i drop to use cluster jewel

i am planning tree aroun lvl 93-95


and nodes i would drop

3 nodes to Essence Surge
2 nodes to Written in Blood

that puts me on lvl 94


and last node Blast Radius and that puts me on lvl 93


What do you think about it are these nodes importat or what nodes would you drop to get to lvl 93-94 to use cluster jewel

Got lucky with my third Vaal and hit the +2 for my Cold Snap. Build feels fine and really enjoying it so far!

Any idea what to upgrade next or were to focus?

Honestly, I'd start going for Shavs and Friends next, its by far the biggest upgrade, if you are looking for more incremental upgrades I guess Cinderswallow Urn is huge QoL and if you dont allready have Intuitive Leap and Energy From Within those are good pickups, as is Corrupted Blood Immunity on another Jewel.

First time playing this build. I noticed in the POB the leveling tree goes up to about level 65ish? Then jumps to just swapping to CI at lvl 80. While I have enough respec points and scours to start respecing the tree, should I start to respec the tree even with out good energy shield gear and just not take CI yet and leave it for when I have better ES gear? Or do my own thing for now on the tree (maybe additional life?), work up more scours until I have better ES gear to swap to CI and then respec the tree?

EDITING: I have answered my own question. I spent some time in POB to see if I respec if I'd have enough ES to swap to CI but I didn't feel comfortable only having about 4K. Later on now I realize looking at the Leveling VS CI lvl 80 tree there are some nodes I can take with out having to respec so my skills points aren't just sitting there and I am now taking those and will respec the rest when I feel comfy enough. I got lucky this league, had a friend give me a rime gaze he found and bated breath. I got two EX drops as well just farming BA for a tab. All i need to do is 6 link a Vaal Regilia I have with about 550+ ES on it and I should be good with the rest of my gear.

What do you guys think about using Incandescent Heart as a starter piece of CI gear? First time doing a CI build, but I just had one drop in SSF and was able to 5l it easily. It's a little low on ES but the defensive stats seem insane.

Great build.

You mention the gem links for CI and LL but what about gem links when you're neither at the beginning of a new league?
