Thanks again. I bought some jewels. got about 3 div to spend. So I think ill look into lethal pride and enlighten first (?).

In regards to the tree im not entirely sure what you mean with losing all the totems wheels. Does this include ironwood? or just everything leading up to watch towers?

Gear wise I got fire dot multi now on my quiver atleast.

Totem wheels are circled in red. We usually take the Panopticon wheel since we path to it with Lethal Pride in range. You can choose whether to complete the notables there with Ironwood, but that's largely defensive so we can afford to drop it once we have enough armour (at least 30k is a safe zone).


Fire DoT multi on quiver is great, keep seeking more of these "DoT multi" mods because they come in play as a separate multiplier (red arrow) after all the "increased" and "more" components (blue arrows).

Before going on Lethal Pride or Enlighten, you can get more damage affordably by upgrading your gems. The following gem upgrades cost less than 1d, and increases your damage by more than 30%.

Your POB shows a 20/20 EA. Get a 21/0 EA (10c) for now, and we'll work to getting 20 fuses even with a shorter duration.
5/20 awak. Deadly Ailments (80c) is great and not expensive.
5/20 awak Burning Damage is an absolute steal at 100c, and it grants a free level to EA.
When you have some eldritch currency, move your ignite proliferation to your gloves, and replace Ignite Proliferation support with Empower3 (40c).

@Limevan, you mentioned sharing your thoughts on how to use POB to find timeless jewels in a post to another member. I'm also very interested in this if you're willing!

11. Lethal Pride. Unfortunately, your Lethal Pride provides nearly nothing. Use the "Find Timeless Jewel" function in PoB to look for one with stats you need. Depending on your direction, you can aim for more dps (ignite faster, burning damage, totem damage), toughness (max life, %life regen, reduced damage from crit, endurance charge on kill, phys taken as fire) or utility (totem placement speed). If you need help on this, just let me know and I'll do a short write-up for using the search feature.

Hey, i'd love an explanation on timeless jewels search thingy !

Regarding the weathered hunter wheel. I feel I need toe precision aura mana reservation. Otherwise I can't really cast anything besides my lifetapped skills. Should I get an enlighten instead?

Yes, enlighten in a 6L chest is usually a good path to go, since it applies to all 5 auras that we will be running: Determination, Grace, Defiance Banner (these are near mandatory), Precision (up to 100% Hit Chance), and Malevolence. Purity of Elements/Wrath can also be squeezed in as blessing skills elsewhere (with inspiration) but I don't recommend that.

Deadly Draw is a great notable that's right on your path, make sure to grab it.

Also, I mentioned the 3 jewel sockets (2 normal, 1 cluster) that you should go for next. I'd drop all 3 totem wheels and keep only the Panopticon one in the south. You'll lose some attack speed, and quite a bit of placement speed, but the latter is more QoL than anything. The passive points you get from doing this (including those pathing down to Watchtowers) will be enough to get most of your tree in order.

Is Unnatural Instinct within reach for you? If not, focus on getting your entire cluster done on top left first. Lethal Pride comes next (get one that's around 1d, and it should be a big enough boost to damage).

Ascendancy-wise, swap to Shaper of Storms when you're comfortable. Usually, this is when you have your clusters ready, and when you just need to squeeze for that extra "inc. damage taken" delicious slice of pie.

Gear-wise, you're missing many spots where we usually go for DoT multi, but this is more expensive and can be filled in when you've got currency.
