Important PoB Notes
All my guides use Path of Building. We have a simple guide for you that shows how to import my build into Path of Building, you can find the guide here.

PoB Errors
Path of Building currently is vastly underestimating how much damage this build is doing, it’s clear to people playing that our actual in-game damage is much higher than PoB suggests. We have chosen to not edit the PoBs to reflect the damage we think we are doing, and instead leave the numbers as they are. It’s important to be aware when looking at the DPS output of these builds in PoB that the numbers you will deal with are far far higher, somewhere in area of 2-3x as much as PoB shows.
Here’s the PoB for the build: https://pobb.in/0gwI9EgftfSL
Masteries
A lot of the masteries available come down to a matter of personal preference, but some are more or less mandatory.
- Life Mastery: 15% increased Maximum Life if there are no Life modifiers on body armour. Drop this if your corrupted chest has +Maximum Life/% Increased Maximum Life/Life Regeneration or any other mod with a life tag.
- Minion Offence Mastery: “Minions have 20% increased Cooldown Recovery Rate” – This allows us to hit the breakpoints earlier and more easily with different gear.
- Minion Offence Mastery: “Minions have 30% increased area of effect” – The area of effect will help our minions hit more targets when clearing maps.
- Mana Mastery: “12% increased mana reservation efficiency of skills” – This helps us become able to run all our auras.

When these go in your Body Armour
Dialla's Malefaction the socket colours matter a lot. If your Holy Relic will go up to the next breakpoint with the quality added by putting it in a green socket then it should be in one, if not, it can go in red.
Empower Support should always be in a red socket. All of your other supports should be in a green socket unless they are awakened and would hit the level 5 breakpoint from being in a red socket to give +1 Minion Skill.
