45% increased dmg is probably gona outweigh ~2% overall dps increased from +2 to each support gem.
You can run POB for your specific scenario because it depends on your other items too.
Edit: Above I'm referring to 6R vs 3R3G. Each green is basically 15% increased damage.

Aite ill get right on it to get the right colours, thanks again for the help

This filter should weed out most detrimental mods: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ancestor/v3anezZCE

I'll risk coming out as a complete newb here, but I read somewhere that Hex Master is "okay".
Reading what it gives I can only determine that it only gives us 5% more effect on curses?

Elemental Overload does nothing for us either so should be safe?

Please let me know if I'm out on a limb here.

Once you've completed your Atlas passives and gotten all 4 voidstones, are you changing your recommended trees? I imagine the points into +1 map tier become useless and can be better spent buffing different mechanics.

Also what maps are you favoriting? I imagine that if you run open maps to favor exped, deli mirrors kind of don't work well. Trying to figure out how to play this build now that I'm not chasing atlas completion.

Really enjoying the build now that I've gotten a head of steam with it. Thanks for the great guide!

Heya, I feel I reached quite a good spot and mostly just came to ask for some opinions, as I managed to drop myself an apothecary, so I'm ucnertain where to invest those divines best for now.

I made soem alterations, like e.g. going into the right side of the tree for spell supression, as I noticed that when I'm getting oneshot, it's usually spells (as evident by me almost not dieing anymore at all since I got it).
Also changed the links a bit, but that's mostly for the reason of me being able to grab a relatively cheap skin of the lords early with 3b/2g/1r.

The current state of my build is this: https://pobb.in/ubFT8LMVwAx-

What I had in mind to get next are the friggid wake jewels, but I wanted to ask if there is a more important improvement/multiple I could make first with those divines I got now.

Exp is comming on steadily, so that's the least of my worries for now.

Hex master results in 20% less Effect of your Curses. It does not break the build, but at this point of the league SotLords is relatively affordable so there is little reason to choose that.

The fandom wiki is outdated, use PoE Wiki:

Poe Wiki: https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Hex_Master

Fandom (outdated): https://pathofexile.fandom.com/wiki/Hex_Master

I cannot remember why I added Elemental Overload to the list.

I see! Appreciate the response.

Still having a blast with the build, going to buy a SotLords when I get home from work and hopefully a decent weapon since the one I got now is trash!

Thanks :)

Are you referring to changing Atlas or Passive Skill Tree?

I was on military service (could only login on weekends) for the first 2 weeks of the league, and subsequently it was peak period at my full-time job for week 3-4.

For weeks 3-4, I re-specced my atlas for challenge completion. The challenges I have remaining are mainly TotA or pinnacle boss related.

I am now running a no sextant/scarab Elder Guardian boss rush. Profit is around 5-8 div per hour. Since I don't choose the maps I run (I bulk buy the elder guardian maps), my favourite maps are those that can sell well (esp those connected to common Elder Guardian maps).

If you are running just one map with a connected map that can sell well, the optimal strategy is to favourite the connected map. Sell the connected map in bulk for divines then purchase the map you want in bulk.

Singular Focus self-sustain "rant" that nobody asked for:
Singular Focus to self-sustain the map you are running on is for lazy folks (or players that don't understand how the connected map system works). I always cringe when a popular guide specs into Singular Focus and favourites only one map, and that map is not a connected map. It literally takes two trades to buy and sell 60 or more maps at a go. During my challenge completion period, I was running Beach and selling Strand at 30 maps for 1 divine, which is 7.6c per map. By allocating Singular Focus, you lose out on all the guardian maps, and if you do not favourite a connected map you lose a ton of maps which are converted into currency.

Edit: Nothing against anyone who runs Singular Focus to self-sustain the map they are running, the most important thing in this game to have fun. Just because a guide allocates Singular Focus does not invalidate the rest of their guide. It is just an aspect of the game that is usually looked over.

To: Aljunn21 and Gfuryan,

You need to fill the open suffixes on the rare items with elemental resistances/stats.

Take for example the Dialla variant: https://poe.ninja/builds/crucible/character/SonsOfKorhal/IceBallDoTBuild_CRUC?time-machine=week-10&i=0&search=time-machine%3Dweek-10%26name%3Dsonsof

For Dialla, the corrupted implicits on the chest are important. Otherwise you are better off running Skin of the Lords.

Edit:
1 corrupted line implicit: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ancestor/W5wjqzrhm
2 corrupted lines implicit: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ancestor/qa9BnBlUg

Working towards this build now. (Thanks for reference). Managed to get the double corrupted chest. Wanted to get a check of my current POB for priority next steps. Build feel strong but would like to be a bit tankier so I can actually progress XP. Any help is appreciated as always!!

Some suggestions:
1. Get an SotL with the correct colours. Moving CF to chest and Efficacy into gloves. 9.5m DoT DPS >> 12.0m DoT DPS
2. Use Imbued catalyst (caster) on Mark of the Shaper
3. Elemental mastery for inflict at least -18% is not useful because Mastermind of Discord provides minimum -25%

Good luck~
