![]() In the search box at the bottom middle of the screen, you can search any node for a keyword. ![]() Since this is a budget league starter build, let’s stick to life. This gives us some direction as to where to go with this build.Īt this point I like to figure out if I’m going for a life, energy shield or a hybrid build. Zooming back out and looking at the skill tree, most of the red nodes are located on the upper half of the tree. We’ll focus on the other 4 ascendancy points later on when we look at defenses. Together these increase our Vortex Damage over Time by almost 48%. Let’s spend 4 ascendancy points to take Patient Reaper and Prolonged Pain. Source: Path of Building Community Fork, Openarl, 2020. In the picture below, you will see that a few of the Ascendancy nodes give a fair bit of damage. The stronger the color, the more benefit you gain from the node. Zoom in and within it you can hover over each node to see what they do, but more importantly, you can check the box for “Show Node Power” and it will color code damage nodes as red, and defense nodes as blue. Go back to the “Tree” tab and if you zoom out far enough, you’ll notice the Ascendancy for Trickster is highlighted. Step 4 – Ascendancy Points and Passive Tree Allocation For now, let’s skip the support gems and look at the Passive Tree and Ascendancy Points. There are a LOT of caveats here though, so be careful to blindly trust what support gems actually give you the biggest damage increases. Now you are free to add in any support gems, and Path of building is nice enough to auto sort them by highest damage increase. Screenshot by Author.Ĭlick on the skill Vortex and it will input into the first slot. I typically start with the active skill gem followed by the support gems, but it is personal preference. Note that you can put in any active or support skill gems in any order here. Once you are in the skills tab, you will need to pick a “New” skill and start typing in the name of the skill gem you want to add. For the rest of the guide, I will refer to these as Tabs. Swap from the “Tree” tab to the “Skills” tab near the top left portion of the page. Having saved the build, the next thing to do in Path of Building is inputting your main Active Skill. Step 3 – Inputting Your Main Active Skill I only keep successful builds and if something doesn’t work, I delete it. Note that you can make folders as well if you want to do a lot of build planning and organize more builds, but so far I have not found this necessary. In this instance, I’ll call this “3.12 Vortex Trickster” and move forward. I like to include the game version that I plan to play this character in for future reference.

Step 2 – Setting the Class and AscendancyĬhoose the correct class and ascendancy at the top middle of the screen, in Step 1 we said this was going to be a Trickster build, so we will pick Shadow and Trickster: Source: Path of Building Community Fork, Openarl, 2020. For this example I’m going to make a cheap league starter Trickster using the active skill Vortex. I’m going to create a build here, with my own thought process so you can follow a similar process. If you don’t know what you want to do, feel free to explore various options, but having a starting point is extremely important to progress to a final build. Once you are in the new build, you need to figure out if you are going to build around a particular Active Skill Gem, Ascendancy or Unique item. We’ll talk a bit more about importing builds later in this guide. Even if you want to use someone else’s pastebin link from a build guide, you still have to hit “New”. Pick a new build, since you won’t have any builds created yet. Below you will notice I have several builds already complete which I have saved as with useful naming convention. When you first load into PoB, you’ll start at a blank canvas with no builds. I’m going to skip over how to download and install the tool, and jump into usage of the tool itself. Continue reading to learn How to Use Path of Building. For that reason, I suggest using the community fork. The main difference between the two is the community fork continues to have new features added, while Openarl is focused on other things now. Path of Building (PoB), whether you use the official community tool by Openarl here, or the community fork located here, is the best tool for build planning. So you think you’re ready to properly plan a build, exile? Then you are at the correct place.
