Sorry for the questions but I am a beginner and I am a bit confused on which PoB link I should follow.

My question is in the passive tree section it has 3 PoB link and those three each have different gem set up and jewels.

The first one (https://pastebin.com/ZwUgsuSx) is the one that has everything in the gear section but when I check the energy shield it wasn't 10k and it has the lowest damage.

As for the second one (https://pastebin.com/vKQTQY9R) it's a LL version which I don't know what that stand for, and when I look into it's energy shield it has more than the first one and gem/jewel sockets are different too.

(The one I want to follow) ---> The last one (https://pastebin.com/rd1D1zu2) has the most energy shield and and most damage but most of the gem/jewel sockets are different and some of the jewel for this one wasn't even listed on the gear section which left me confused a lot.

(My problem) ---> So I am confused at which one should I follow. I am currently level 90 and completed most of the map up to tier 10 and as of right now I am following the fist link to the PoB (https://pastebin.com/ZwUgsuSx) but there are two other links so I would like to know why those links are their and did I do something wrong. And first the third link it say it's a version for 3.10 so does that mean I can't use that one? I checked on the PoB and converted it to 3.11 and it doesn't seems to have any changes so that means I can use it right?

TL:DL, I don't know which of the PoB link I should follow as their is 3 listed in the passive tree section so I'm confused can you please explain? Thanks!


The first one is the basic one and what you are looking for.
The second one is a low life (LL) version. You reserve your life to force to be LL and use the Pain Attunement Keystone to boost your damage. The advantage of going LL is that you can use Presence of Chayula, which grants you stun immunity. Stun immunity of cyclone was removed in 3.11, and it can be problematic in the endgame. Many players just stack "chance to avoid being stunned" to 100% to gain stun immunity, but another solution is to go LL and use presence of chayula.

The last one uses more cluster jewels, but better than the first one. To use this one, you need a higher level and money. If you are still in T10 maps, you can forget about this one. The first one can carry you until level 95-97, and you can consider using the third one after that.


Ok thank you this cleared my confusion!
Hi, I am interested in playing the build, and I am wondering if a good way to craft a sceptre would be to fracture t1 spell/lightning damage and then use essences?
As well, I found this amulet,

Would it be worth annuling off the attack mods and crafting flat es and catalysts, or should I just craft one from scratch?
Hey I'm loving the build so far have most of the pieces just missing militant jewel and min maxing pieces... Currently sitting on 7.1k ehp at level 91.

But I have a question I'm trying to fit wrath (using herald of thunder as replacement) I've got the 15% reduced wrath mana reserved enchant on my helm. But my enlighten is still level 2 is it necessary for it to be 4 for me to fit wrath or is 3 enough with the mana reserved skill tree points? Bearing in mind I don't have +1 to socketed gems implicit on my gloves
I feel pretty min-maxed now, the garden has made what seemed like impossible gear relatively achievable this league.

I'm at the third threshold for the first time. :)



I crafted everything myself.

The belt was easily the hardest thing to make because of Armour in the defense pool.

I'm sure there are little things I can improve upon but I'm really happy with where I'm at.

Hey, great guide and very thorough. I'm in the process of putting it all together. I am just curious, why do you take Pain Attunement when you're playing a CI build? Pain Attunement requires you to be on "low life" in order to gain the increased damage. And CI sets your HP to 1/1. Meaning you are always at 100% HP and never on "low life". Looking forward to hearing back!
Hello, I could use some help with the build. I finally got my Enlightened 4 gem but it appears you can't run these auras unless you have the +1 support gem corruption on the gloves to make it level 5? I am currently reserving 100% of my mana even with 15% wrath on the helm and level 4 enlighten. In PoB, if my Enlighten is level 5, I'd have 40 mana, enough to cast my vortex.

Appreciate any pointers here as I'm not sure how I'd get this specific corruption on the gloves (and none appear to be on the trade site).

The timeless jewel that this build uses changes Pain Attunement into the Inner Conviction keystone.
Really enjoying this build so far, much better than my experience with CoC Ice Nova.

I made a few small changes to the tree and things seemed to have worked out very well. I was able put a large thread of hope next to the instability node and use that to get several points back which I invested into Arcane Guarding and Unnatural Calm which has put my defense through the roof.

Thanks for the great guide!

Take the two mana reserve nodes in the Sovereignty wheel instead of the aura effect node.

Thanks! Didn't catch that in the guide, definitely fixed it for me. Sitting at 105 mana now with all auras up.
