You only lose 1 because you can place a medium cluster in the space previously occupied by the large you got rid of. (No, AFAIK pure agony doesn't come on a large cluster)

Have now added an update section to the guide for 3.15. Contains somewhat more info than my first thoughts above. I plan to continue to add in additional ideas as they occur to me/as I discover them in game/as some of YOU point them out. :>

I seem to be missing a lvling tree, since the only tree I can find is the end game one with the cluster jewels, but those you won't have on a new league at lvl 60

Leveling advice section is at the bottom of the guide and walks you through where to go on the tree.

Okay

Pausing to share with you a beautiful new piece of leveling tech (that may have some endgame application also, depending on interation with the conqueror ascendancy) made possible by the new focused ballista support.

Ballista totem>Focused Ballista>Barrage>Withering touch.

This gives you three totems that will collectively easily apply 15 stacks of withering touch anywhere you direct fire, long before you have a 5 or 6 link available.

This is how I am leveling now with two four links, the other being barrage>chance to poison>GMP>LGOH, and it is working great so far.

Luck to you all,

hi mate, thanks for the build. which gem should I use before getting empower 4? damage on full life?

Most welcome.Yup. DOFL until emp4 is correct.

On the plus side, the build performed spectacularly for league start. At one point I held 20th place on the overall ladder and first on the delve ladder. Got to lvl 93 and was tearing up red maps.

On the downside, here is a short cautionary story and my submission for DUMBEST POE DEATHS EVER BY AN EXPERIENCED PLAYER:

The map was only a T10 so I wasn't particularly focussed, and all the mobs were dead. I had a corrupting blood jewel slotted, so that wasn't a problem. But the flask nerfs got me.

See, I was used to never worrying about bleed, since as long as a flask was running, I was always immune. And bleeds were uncommon and not too serious, since I was also almost always curse immune with a stibnite of warding (so vuln wasnt an issue). And so I was walking carelessly away at the end of the last fight, with no Mobs left to target, cursed and bleeding much too fast. and before I had time to log, I was dead.

So be very mindful of bleed at the end of fights, even if you have corrupted blood slotted. Other than that, I can confirm that the build remains highly functional.
