CATALOG NOTES

How builds are classified

Covens of Umbra is live. The catalog uses 3.30 patch notes and published build guides. The tier list shows verified ladder usage as samples become available. Earlier gameplay, Path of Building trees, and boss clears show their original patch when known.

SSF friendly
A fresh character can progress with self-found gear. Check the build details for any Labyrinth gems, farmable drops, or skill swaps.
Trade preferred
The listed setup relies on gear, drops, or combinations that are easier to assemble through trade. Some have a separate league-start route.
Gear and stats
Required gear applies to the listed setup. Recommended items and upgrades are optional. Stat entries include guide targets where available and priorities elsewhere.
Gear and crafting
League start covers the campaign and first maps. Midgame covers Atlas progression or the swap into the listed build. Endgame covers higher-investment upgrades. Use the linked guide or Path of Building setup for exact gear and breakpoints.
Path of Building imports
Paste a copied link into Import/Export Build in Path of Building. For a PoB with multiple setups, select the named loadout, or use the individual tree, skill, and gear selectors as indicated.
Skills & Gems
Use the selected stage for socket links, reservation choices, and swap timing. Gem tooltips show game values across the gem’s level range. Check the stage’s PoB for the gem levels used by the build.
Passive Tree
Each stage shows the allocated path from its source PoB on that patch’s tree, followed by passive priorities, Labyrinth order, and respec checkpoints. Base-tree tooltips show game stats and the selected mastery effect. Open the source PoB for Timeless Jewel or tattoo changes.
Can be scaled
A league starter with a documented upgrade path to Uber pinnacle bosses. Build details identify the evidence, which can include earlier patches or trade gear.
Uber clear evidence
The patch and mode describe the run. Recorded clears have footage, reported clears come from the player, and boss footage can show an encounter without confirming the kill. Planned setups link to Path of Building.
