End game build looks great! I was just leveling this build for some practice, and I'm sorry to say this is NOT by any means a league starter.

1. At 40 you have 4 sword nodes, which unless I'm meant to be leveling as melee I can't use until lioneye fall jewel.

2. At 54 you have 5 axes nodes I can't use until lioneye fall.

3. Lioneye fall cost 15c day one of Heist, how am I meant to have 15c by 54 as a league starter? (it only went up from there https://poe.ninja/challenge/unique-jewels/lioneyes-fall-viridian-jewel)

4. At 71 you suggest a 2-4ex cluster jewel. How am I meant to have 2-4ex at 71? If this is a league starter where will I even get a cluster jewel? They don't drop until maps so unless it takes me several days to get to 71 there won't be any.

5. At 77 you have a thread of hope, how am I going to get that? It doesn't drop until sirus and you need 20 stones to get it so it's unlikely there will be any available, even as slow as I am at league start.

You'll probably suggest taking other nodes that don't cost as much. Well, without the jewel and the cluster jewel you have 7 bleed nodes, and unless you count the minors or art of the gladiator up by duelist start no other damage. I'm really struggling for some damage.

Again, I'm sure the end game build is great and I look forward to playing it some day. Just not as a league starter. You may want to consider making a starter tree that doesn't include lioneye's fall jewel, cluster jewels or a thread of hope.

Other people seem to have leveled it no problem, so maybe it's fine the way it is. I'm probably just missing something key.

Thanks for your time.

hey OP, first of all thanks for the build. Tried myself a few variants on the race leagues and i feel like starting with this one on Ritual.

I noticed that you anointed Growth and Decay. According to PoB, the notable Command of Steel would give 10 times the damage of G&D when at max block. Are you aware of this?

so they removed some chance to bleed from Ascendency any idea how badly this affects the build?

Loved playing this during the Mayhem Heist event was tons of fun.

Thanks,

Hey dude
10 times the damage? where are numbers comes from? It's just 75% increased damage, so it's a generic increase and only applies to hit damage. It gives less than 2% to bleed

It blew my mind when i saw a generic increase giving so much damage, no idea how PoB does that calculation (got POB Fork). It still shows if i create a new build and paste yours.

If im the only one getting those numbers, i will consider it an error. Wanted to share just in case it was a real thing hehe.
