In Path of Exile: Crucible, you’ll learn about the ancient titans who once shaped the primordial surface of Wraeclast. If you’re powerful enough, you will earn the ability to forge their power onto your weapons. Crucible Forges are scattered throughout Wraeclast. When you find one, select one of your weapons and channel the power of the ancient titans to spawn a challenging encounter. The longer you channel for, the more the molten monsters merge together to form more fearsome foes. You’re in control of the difficulty and reward of these encounters.

Check out our full League Summary here.
The Seismic Trap Assassin throws Traps to deal damage to their enemies. Seismic Traps lasts for 4 seconds, and releases a wave of damage every second. In the meantime, you will use another Trap – either Exsanguinate or Blade Trap – to deal damage to your enemies. Otherwise, this Build focuses a lot on your Survivability and allows you a smooth playstyle with almost only 2 alternating buttons. With Patch 3.21, Poisons have received a strong nerf, alongside with the Saboteur Ascendancy. Additionally, some Mana Reservation Efficiencies have been removed, leading to Assassin as the new alternative to the usual Saboteur.
In order to be able to play this Build, you have to choose a Shadow in the Character Creation.
Before you reach the Endgame, players have to finish all 10 Acts of the Campaign. Most of the times, you will not be able to use the same abilities in the early game as you do in the Endgame. Here is an overview how you can progress easily throughout the Campaign. In this List, you will find all Gems to use in the Early Game, and To-Do Lists for all Act 1 – 10.
For even further advice to Leveling, refer to our Leveling Guide here.

In Act 2, Players are tasked to kill three Bosses, Oak, Kraityn and Alira. You can either “Help” or “Kill” them, whenever you engage with them. You can “Help” only one of them, or kill them all. This Quest will grant Players a Bonus for their Character Power, depending on their choice. This choice can be changed later on if you made a mistake.
In our Lightning Conduit Elementalist Build, we kill all Bandits.
