Amber Amulet
DoT Multi + enchantment when you add poison
I would recommend to switch to Impending Doom when Uber Lab is completed
If you switched to Impending Doom, still have Uber Lab not completed and feel like clear speed isn't great - take Profane Bloom instead of Vile Bastion

Chaos DoT Multi craft can be received from unveiling veiled items (Jun) and is a suffix
Replace DoT craft with DoT Multi when you get it
I would recommend to buy a wand which has both suffix and prefix open so you can craft DoT(prefix) and replace it with DoT Multi(suffix) when it is available

Medium Cluster Jewel
Buy a base. Use Life essence until you get any resistance and have an empty suffix. When your poison on hit chance is high enough - add a crafted mod 'increased duration of ailments while focused' . Despair effect enchantment might be expensive at league start, buy Poison Multi while Infecting if poor! (check the filter)

Apep's Rage
How it works :
You want to rewrite your curses to proc Impending Doom. One is being self cast (Temporal Chains)
The rest curses should be socketed into the gloves
Put Punishment in the first socket and then the curses you want to being applied, plus spell cascade. The Curse from the first socket won't be applied
Make sure to have this for 100% poison on hit chance :
If you do not have medium cluster with Septic Spells or Toxic Strikes Enchantment on an amulet yet - take 20% chance to poison Cursed enemies (Curse Mastery)

Vixen's Entrapment
You should keep in mind that Expedition Encounters may contain 'Immune to Curses' mod which makes mobs completely invulnerable to our damage. This mod is not being highlighted and can hardly be noticed while placing explosives (ty ggg). To solve this we equip any 4-6 link weapon in off hand and use Soulrend setup we had been using before
To figure out what maps you have to run to complete the pantheon - open atlas and enter it's name
Every league maps are different
You can use Soul of the Brine King for Freeze Immune if needed while you have no ele ailment avoidance

Rings and Amulet should have an empty prefix to craft minus manacost. You want at least 1 mod for 6-Link when switch to Impending Doom
You want Chaos DoT Multi / DoT Multi for dps, if you are missing stats/res - take them instead
You can buy a base and use Chaos Reforge in Harvest to make it cheaper

When you reach red maps - remove Chaos and Life clusters on the left side of the tree and take two Suppression clusters. Take second Large Cluster as well
You can do it earlier if needed ( you would lose some dps to get tankier)
You can also get a Quartz Flask. With two clusters + Watcher + Flask you would have around 90-95% chance to suppress spell damage on full life while having no spell suppression on the helmet
