I am really interested in trying the build.
The guide seems really well made.

but I have to ask you guys-
How easy was it to get into the build? and to have it transition from the voltaxic start (or other start) to crafting your own endgame gear?

I think i'm done playing my starter for this league, and I have 7ex saved up that I can use. Seeing as it's a new build for me, one that i've never tried before, i'm honestly intimidated to start it and have to understand all this new info. It being a new "project" for me.
I am aware that I won't know until I try. Just overthinking and sharing my thoughts i guess lol

I'll definitely play it as my next build though. So i'm excited, but also just a little bit anxious.

Is it best to follow the level 70-80-90 pob for leveling? I already have a couple of end game items I was going to use at level 68, so wondering if it mattered how I specced the character since it technically isn't league start anymore.

The lvl 70-80-90 is for leveling up, so feel free to explore the end-game PoB (balanced variant for example) if you already have couple of end-game gears. For smooth transition, I would suggest leaving Cluster jewel alone until you reach level 85 or sth.

And regarding quiver, Can't I just use hunter exalted orb on it to get hunter influence?

You can't use a hunter exalt on a shaper influenced item. Double influenced mods come from awakener orbs - but they don't simply add a mod to an item. They eat one item to add its influence to another, and the final item has its stats re-rolled, but keeps one influence mod from each of the items. It doesn't look like you're at the gear level to be investing in that for a quiver yet. Your first awakener orb craft should be the body armor.

"

And what about the harvest craft which adds random influence mod? Does it open any path ?

This adds an influence mod from the influence already on the item. It won't make a double influenced item.

One more question, and I must be missreading something in the POB notes, but why is using malevolence with the aul amulet overall less dps vs the "balanced" variation of the build? Or do I have to fix something in pob?

2) In addition, If you choose v1.1x (in the Tree), you have to manually disable Malevolence skill in the Skills tab / Movement+Malevolement group
