Efficient Tree Planning Strategies
1. Prioritize Clusters Near Your Start Location
Start with high-impact clusters near your class’s starting point. These are often more efficient and tailored to your archetype.

Example: A Templar caster will have access to Path of exile currency Spell Damage, Mana, and Elemental clusters nearby, making early tree pathing extremely efficient.

2. Look for Multi-Benefit Paths
Some paths lead through nodes that offer dual-purpose bonuses, such as:

Spell Damage + Mana Regen

Life + Elemental Resistance

Cast Speed + INT

These are much better than single-stat filler nodes and POE currency for sale reduce the opportunity cost of travel.
