Kay for your starter build, how do you get Death Attunement?

Maybe I'm blind but I can't see any slots for large passive clusters either. Are you saying we shouldn't use those for this build?

Thank you :)

If you looked at the lvling trees you would know that you first go get death attunement and after you can afford it, you annoint it.

As the season just started and we didn't know how cluster jewels worked before that, i don't think kay has had the time to update every version of the build with a "cluster tree".

I'm trying to change the tree a bit on PoB to see if i can fit the cluster jewels. If you don't want to try to do it yourself just use the build without it and wait for kay to update it. The build is strong enough even without cluster jewels.

Hi Raidki, thank you for the reply. Sorry for the noob questions!

I followed this PB when levelling https://pastebin.com/JJ1VEGjn
Now Level 70, have I seriously gimped myself? I didn't take Death Attunement whilst levelling. Will I have to path to it now in the skill tree, then annoint it?

I'll have to figure out what that means, unfamiliar with annointing.

That's the right PoB, if you look at the bottom left you will see different lvls of the tree you should be using. On the lower levels ones you can see that kay went up there and took death attunenment.

A bit about annoint can be found on the wiki: https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Oil
If you read it you'll see that with some oils from blighted maps, you can allocate a notable even without pathing all the way to it on your amulet.

And no, u didn't gimp yourself, just go there now and take it. If you are really desperate you can respec some points to get it as soon as possible.

Trying out this new build, I am a bit confused - I die easily and the spectres don't seems to do that much damage?

Some questions:
* Do i have a big miss in my tree / equipment that could explain it?
* I am unable to level up kiterbots (lvl11) and golem gem (lvl9) due to lack of dex - is it expected that these can't go up a certain level (similar to the desecreate?)

Thanks, and sorry for these questions - second league here!

You're missing the additional spectre node on the tree entirely, so basically a free 50% more damage multiplier as you will go from 2 -> 3 spectres. Grab an amulet with some dexterity, your current one does nothing really. Your shield is useless because you don't have necromantic aegis, which you need so that your minions can generate charges from using it, rather than you just wearing it. You haven't allocated all your ascendancy nodes yet so you're missing a significant amount of value their; when you do grab commander of darkness, you want to run a level 1 clarity/precision NOT linked to generosity, so that you get the bonus from the node to yourself. You don't have elemental equilibrium yet which also gives a tremendous amount of damage from you debuffing monsters, although if you are using slave drivers, you'll have to change your wand, as it adds lightning to spells which will mess up EE. You've pathed to the shadow tree for hybrid es/life nodes which is a waste, you just are lacking flat life on gear right now, not from the tree.

So, for what you should do:
Respec to the right side of the tree where you went for hybrid life es and use it to grab the +1 spectre node, maybe also fix your pathing on the left of the tree as it could be more efficient. Get elemental equilibrium and a wand without any lightning damage to spells. Grab a piece of gear with dex, preferably your amulet right now as its easy to get those stats their, and get a helm with some flat life. Get the ascendancy nodes you want, and if you do get Commander of Darkness, make sure you have at least one aura skill that affects you (isn't linked to generosity). Grab necromantic aegis if you want your shield to give charges to your spectres.

Edit: you dont need an aura for Commander of darkness res anymore, its been changed.
