i played this a bit in the mayhem recently and found the belt bated breath while leveling, I found it rather useful, what's your opinion on it?

In the preview for war of the atlas we saw a rare elder/shaper vaal regalia with +1 socketed gems. So I guess it will be easier to get some spell-builds goin with +1 chests. Since I play SC, I mostly go for the yolo builds instead of stacking lots of mana. I'd drop all the 'reduce mana cost'-skillpoints and go for Arcane Surge 8/20. Then I would not take the whole scion life wheel and instead invest in 2nd curse with whispers of doom (either go for despair or temp.chains). Maybe it will also be possible to take the new support ring as a 5l for contagion and squeeze out a bit more aoe damage with that for mapping ... who knows.

Yeah but I don't have the game knowlege or the time to get it, to invest in a char that might not get there and then to start a new one.;/ Luckly our lord and saviour Ghazzy has updated the build so now I'm actually excited for tomorrow.^^

Do you guys think wither totem is still going to be used against bosses with the introduction of Despair? I'm thinking about dropping wither totem and physically cursing the boss while using blight totem.

What's the point of getting the "Whispers of Doom" dual-curse node on the passive tree? Enfeeble is a curse, but Wither, Contagion and even Blight aren't. So where does the second curse come in?

Also, what's a good end-game health value to target?

I was really , really skeptical of this build so I tested it on my 81 shadow on standard. using about 100 chaos in gear I was able to solo uber lab (with a tabula rasa) and kill all guardians only dying to Chimera.

With skin of the loyal and empower your dps can literally almost double. I was caking t15 8 mod maps - but yes boss killing is slower than most "end game" builds.

The thing about this build is it requires VERY little currency investment AND you can do virtually ALL map mods. Super rippy t15 maps you have to sell for half the price you spent rolling it are no more. Corrupt a map with impossible mods? nope - you can do it all with this build at the price of slower boss kills.

I kill all t15/t16/uber lab with a tabula rasa and no blight gloves. This is by far the most cost effective build I have ever played in my 6 years of POE

Hello, newb here...I just started playing POE in standard last patch, this will be my first build in a league ( Abyss) Cant wait! I have a probably dumb question but hey gotta start somewhere. It looks like I can pretty much level on my own till what...40--50 before this guide really starts to apply or am I wrong? Any tips or guide for the first 30-40 levels? I am guessing I just need to learn when and where I can pick up my first gems and which to prioritze first. Thanks!
