Ok, hi guys. I might have a silly noob question about the POB file for the build.
Why are there more skills given than an item has sockets? What am I missing?
Is this just a recommended range of skills from which I should choose?
thanks in advance!

The blue text below explains why :)
You have two optional setups, one for single target and one for AoE clear when mapping. GMP is used for Mapping in this case, and you swap GMP for Hypothermia for the boss at the end of the map if your single target is low.
Keep in mind that that PoB is outdated. I'm currently working on a placeholder PoB for 3.19 that's going to account for the massive minion changes coming next league.
Leveling as the build thorugh act1-10 should be the same so I won't be changing that part. But the PoB will include a setup for when you just get into maps, early maps(late white/early yellows setup), low budget and medium budget.
Might add a high budget but not sure how I want to make it.

Will the build be updated to 3.19? or the nerfs are so significant and the new minion rings and shields are too weak that it becomes too uncomfortable to play
I will make a placeholder PoB and make a short writeup about 3.19 at the top of the buldguide. I won't be updating the general buildguide until next patch though.
So far it's looking fine. I've been playtesting some extremely gimped versions of the build for early mapping. On a ~50c budget I'm able to comfortably clear T16 maps and Shaper Guardian bosses.

I'm currently working on the PoB, it needs some more finetuning before I'll make it official.

Thanks for your reply. The switch between the two green gems is understandable.
But I don't get the amount of blues in a weapon. As fas as I can tell the Amplification Rod has a max of 3 Sockets. Which combination to the spectre skill should I use?

Im on phone so cant chect this myself to be 100% sure but I believe this is unique called Reverberation Rod which has "socketed gems are supported by lvl10 spell echo" and in 3.19 patch notes this wand is getting also "socketed gems are supported by lvl10 controlled sestruction". Thats the reason behind this 2 skills in your screen.

Just want to check, but would the new Bitterdream not even better than the Reverberation Rod?
The only problem would be that you are not really flexible with the gem swap and most likely have to stick with Spectre, phantasms and spell echo or GMP...

My new league starter is running Bitterdream. It's better.

When running Amplification rod the sockets are:
Raise Spectre(Frost Auto-Scout Spectres) - Phantasm - Hypothermia/GNP
The item itself gives socketed spells lvl 10 Spell Echo and Controlled Destruction. Since both FAS spectres and Phantasms are spell casters they get full benefit of all those gems.
I'm changing the setup though and in 3.19 I won't be running Amp rod for my leaguestarters but the newly buffed Bitter Dream instead.
