Lv 100 low budget? Like, getting power leveled on day 2?

@Kelvynn

do we also change ele prolif for a power charge on crit, as in the boss version?...?
are we not going to use marks with crit variant???

Of course, PCoC in both staves, I just forgot to update the mapping one.

Assassin's Mark? We already have enough crit chance and power charges. Just +40% crit multi isn't better than the curses we use.

Waaaaait a second...

PoB shows that Assassin's Mark is indeed better than Frostbite, at least for the high end version that has a lot of penetration already.

Good catch!

Version with Assassin's Mark:

I'll check what's better for leveling/budget setups later when I get to update those.

And even more fun: the crit version doesn't need a Megalomaniac! Because of the extra crit mod on Emperor's Wit. Saving 3 points and investing them elsewhere results in the same damage as the ultra-rare CttC/BS Megalo and more ES.

The crit version looks sexier by the minute!

Are you giving up on cluster jewels completely?

I dont. I'll use this tree until have all jewels to make a good transition, probably around lvl 90-92 where items start to appear on market. I'm still working on the High-Budget tree (clusters/splits/Forbiddens).

Below is my low budget tree at lvl 84:

If you check my SSF character atest_VI will see he is with almost same tree, its doing T12 corrupted maps with no problems at all, it took me around 13-15 hours from the beach A1 until this point, T12, on SSF, without any item or currency assist from the stash.

On the trade league, at this point would robably alerdy using WI and alerdy respected into CI with a way beyond progression!

Once you come to the dark side (crit) you never go back!

I don't have the flasks checked in my high level PoB's because you can't rely on having the charges for the uber pinnacle bosses. So the flasks are still whatever you feel like.

I do like the little trick with lv 1 Precision and Watcher's Eye. But I'm not sure how well that works. It says that you gain 'a flask charge' on crit - is that 1 single charge to a random flask, or to every flask? Also, getting that plus the other mods may be problematic.

Vinktar/Shock is not a lot of extra damage, it's additive with Unnerve, Punishment and Aspect.

I'm not a huge fan of Bottled Faith either. The boss has to stay on the effect ground. Most of the ones that matter just won't do that for long. And then you have to get to the boss again and hit that flask again. It's a very part-time thing.
