Passive Skill Trees

Hybrid Life/ES-Based

Here is our recommended skill tree for a Hybrid Life/ES version of the build.

  • Start by acquiring all the Mine related nodes and masteries and path towards the right side of the tree.
  • Jewels should not be acquired until you have superlative options to socket them with. Save these for your last points.

Gems

In this build, Arc Arc is our main skill and only real source of both clear and boss damage. Wrath Wrath is our aura of choice, used to add a huge amount of Lightning damage to our kit. A Vaal skill should also be worked into a link; we like to use Vaal Righteous Fire Vaal Righteous Fire for additional damage on long-lived bosses, such as Uber Elder.

For all the gem links we provide below, keep in mind that we list the gems in order of priority, meaning that if you lack the required number of sockets to fit all the gems, the first ones to drop are the ones at the bottom. Also note that in-game, as long as the sockets are linked, it makes no difference at all what order the gems are placed in.
