Hi, good job. Thanks for sharing it whit us.
I have several questions:
1) Why are you keeping slayer ascendancy while you have Atziri's Acuity? Since your leech is instant you have almost no benefits from slayer besides culling.
And would it wise to go to slayer in general due to the nature of storm brand behaviour. I mean it constantly hits the enemy and attaches to new thus provide to you reliable source of leech without slayer ascendancy.

2) What's the use of dread banner? If it is for fortify isn't it too short to even bother?

3) Since your DPS over 1m+ have you considered to find an amulet with lightning damage leech(https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Betrayal/oEadGIl)? Or you can also corrupt an amulet for 0.5% leech as implicit. It can help with curse immune maps.

I'm going to sound stupid here but how have you started in different places on the skill tree?

I haven't played in a while, is this a new feature or what?

Thanks

Hey really great guide. My only problem is what do you do when you are done with the leveling path on the passiv skill tree? Do you wait till you get to the Path of the Witch? And do you delete some of your skills when you get the Path of the Witch? because some skills are missing when you compare the leveling picture with the other ones.

Thanks for your help.
