Second league starting this build, feels amazing for progression as usual. Last league I was able to do all content once transitioning to LL. This league, my goal is to farm delve for profit. Has anyone here pushed delve 1200+ with this build? Is it doable in LL form? I feel like now that harvest is back (albeit neutered), it should be possible to push into that range, but I've never delved that deep so I don't know. If it doesnt work I'll roll a zhp deadeye next perhaps, but really hoping to make it work with the vortex.
I don't think LL will survive. I got to depth 700 in delve race some got to 1k. Everyone was using CI. The chaos pools will one shot you.
Not saying it can't be done but plan on dying multiple times and using tons of sulphite
I have been farming t9 and t10 with harvest Lex Proxima Trees.
I got an implicit craft and made sick boots just need to add remove to fix them.
Gloves almost finished. Just need Hunter Exalted Orb. Then will use harvest to guarantee Cold Dot Multi :)
Have you crafted it by yourself ? Can you teach me ?)
Here is the original post by donbrawler - which I followed the last league and made lots of good gloves with. Any mention of costs etc won't apply as it's from last league
These steps are changed now since you can use harvest mechanics to perfect the gloves. You will need to follow all the beginning steps and Hunters Orb it. If you don't hit your Cold dot multi, you can use some harvest crafts to remove the unwanted mod (for example chaos multi - remove chaos mod). Then make sure your prefixes are full (likely) and it has cold res (craft it if needed), and then wait to find 'augment with cold modifier'. The only cold suffix left to hit on hunter influenced base is then cold dot multi.
Finally crafted my gloves. Took six attempts of rolling gloves for good ES with one open suffix then Hunter Orbs.
Steps to craft are actually cheap except the hunters orb. Total cost is usually around 180-200 chaos to craft them.
How to craft them 1. Buy Ilvl 84 Fingerless Silk (2 Chaos) 2. Quality, color sockets, Link sockets 3. Use Dense fossils with Primitive Chaotic Resonator until you get the roll listed below
+ 40 - 49 to maximum Energy Shield
80-120% increased Energy Shield
Either 2 resist or 1 resist and craft the other that's needed.
Must have 1 open Suffix 4. Buy Hunter's exalted Orb, slam and pray you get t2-t1 Cold over time. 5. Divine for higher rolls.
If you don't get cold over time you can sell them for 10 - 15 exalts. the high ES is sought after
If you are running lots of maps and see harvest a lot, you might even be able to just get the stuff you want on the gloves, and not worry about hitting high rolls. Then use the Harvest garden to perfect everything over time. (using remove & add to get higher rolls)
Hopefully, don doesn't mind me reposting that! And if I got anything wrong pls feel free to correct me!
I don't mind it being posted again :)
Since we have harvest back you can also use reforge defensive for step 3. I still think fossil is way to go though since harvest only shows up every 10-15 maps.
Do I have to erase all skill points if I go from leveling tree to ci tree? If not can you guys take a screenshot of the leveling pob tree then in ms paint or whatever program highlight where I refund skill points?
please help me out I don't want to waste any currency on regret orbs thank you

Thanks for the info. When you ran CI how did the dps feel? Any tips for pushing CI that far and still being able to melt? I feel such a big difference when switching to shavs/prism when it comes to damage output but then again, I've never tried pushing CI further than where I need to take it to afford LL gear. Were you using lots of clusters to get the CI that deep and do you think it could have gone a lot further?

You don't erase everything. You erase a few things, use those points to connect parts of the tree for the new path, then regret stuff you don't want to get the points.
The best thing would be to download POB, import your character, and then you can click around the skill tree removing and adding stuff yourself and see how it breaks etc. You can also count how many regrets you will need then and see what your character will be like (in terms of DPS and ES etc) after the change over - and before actually committing any resources!

Seems like in order to remove the starting nodes of lvling tree, I gotta remove the left side then to the north: breath of rime, cruel preparation, elemental overload, quick recovery, frost walker, arcanist dominion, heart and soul, add right starting nodes with the es and 3 int nodes then remove the left starting nodes. Is this correct? I'm following the lvling tree exactly how it is so I just scrolled between lvling and ci tree in the pob. Removing the rest of the nodes should be easy on the right side

Well I am a real noob here I know, but I have tried to read all of this post, and I think most if not all of the links, but nowhere past Act 3 can I find information about gems and their links!
If you are looking for really detailed step by step guide per Act and skill tree progression in clear increments, check OP's full leveling guide.
And open "Vortex for Dummies - Leveling Guide" section
This is also linked in first page of this thread under 2.3 Full Leveling Guide.
If you are looking for more of quick glance reference, look under 2.4 Leveling Guide Summary in first post of this thread. One more alternative is to follow the Path of Building Community Fork guide by importing the pastebin link into PoB.
Personally I've been successfully playing along the Vortex for Dummies and I'm now in beginning of Act 10.
thank you for this reply, what I am looking for is gem directions on further than in Vortex for Dummies after Act 3
what do I drop and what add from those gems in the back hand? The following is the directions in Act 3.
Hello got aspect of spider on gloves... but now i am not sure if i should use it or not or drop 2nd curse and maladiction and take Vile Bastion again or even forbidden power
I was even thinking about removing arcane surge and then self casting or CwDT another curse like Temp chains or Ele weakness
Any tips appreciated
BTW i just need to link that helm i was using normal Rime Gaze but just got +2 one
edit.. so casting frostbite and having temp chains on blashpemy seems like best way to use it all
