My bad.

I didn't properly check PoB and was right now hyped about it and at the same time struggling to fit it into.

My recommendation: I would include it, probably dropping Method to the Madness.

I will update the skilltrees over the weekend. It's too close to the league start right now and I have some preparation to do on my own.

yeah dropping Method of the Madness sounds good. ty and enjoy the League!

Edit: why do you skill 2x Skill effect duration with 10%. I would skill one 25% Noteable and have 5% more and a skillpoint. (or get one 10% out to skill the 25% one.)

Ey there, thanks for the build.

A quick question, what gems should one use to lvl up with phys BV?

Thanks.

Because Might of the Meek makes the little points stronger, but the larger points do nothing.

When I leveled with physical BV in 3.9, I simply used whatever was fitting with my socket colours. I know that is not ultra helpful, but that's what I did.

This league I did it different and I will change the leveling part in the guide within the next week.

Starting with Caustic Arrow (Pierce, Void Manipulation) and Toxic Rain (Void Manipulation, Mirrage Archer) until the end of act 4 with the poison tree version.
In act 4 I swapped to BV (Unleash, Poison, Unbound/Deadly Ailments).

This way is more efficient than the direct start with BV.

oh ofc i forgot about the jewel there.

any tips to improve my survivability and single target damage? thanks!

Hi,
why did you take the 2 dex points on the right side of blood drinker instead of going the dex path from perfect agony to acrobatics ? You could save one point.

You get a 6% life node this way which you would want anyways (thats pretty high value for a single passive point)
