I run a Temporalis variant of a rare adorned setup. A few things I noticed that you can min max and benefit a lot from:
- You can save 7 points on your tree by switching 3 of your sapphires to have a Faster Curse Activation. This removes the need for pathing to Impending Doom, which gives you back 7 points if you connect the tree above it instead. With 4 15% Faster Curse Activation Sapphires and a 62% rare Adorned, you’ll be at 96% Faster Curse Activation, which is more than enough.
- You can save an additional 8 points on your tree if in those 3 new sapphires you also included some increased AoE of Curses. Combine this with a 5 line corrupted Time Lost Sapphire in the top side of the tree above Conduit keystone that has Notables have inc crit chance, crit damage bonus, increased AoE of curses, and 2 other lines that fit your build. 1% max mana is a good one. This would allow you to get back the spell and curse aoe clusters (Reverberation and Roil)
14 of those 15 points you can put it in the clusters for Invocated Efficiency, Turn the Clock Forward, and Mental Alacrity for the time-lost sapphire. With a max rolled time-lost sapphire and a 62% adorned, you’ll gain 16% crit damage bonus, 11% crit chance, and 9% increased aoe of curses per notable. That leaves 2 other modifiers on a 5 liner as well. One would be 1% max mana per notable, another could be 7% (11%) increased magnitude of ailments you inflict. With those 3 useful notables in range that’s 48% cdmg, 33% cchance, 27% curse aoe, 3% max mana, and whatever last mod for the time-lost alone.
The Invocated Efficiency cluster gives 86% spell damage for triggered spells, the Turn the Clock Forward cluster gives 36% spell damage and 23% increased projectile speed, and the Mental Alacrity cluster gives 11% cast speed, 15% mana regen, and 10 int.
Your last of the 15 points you get back you put into Raw Destruction near the start for 16% spell damage and 10 int.
You can get an idea of what I did here: https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/Skai-5436/character/SkaiBomb
And a small showcase of a slower variant of it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile2builds/s/IMbPK7sgz3
Since that showcase it’s only gotten faster. It can still carry a 6 man juiced temple with ease. The person who helped me min max it further was Glitched, who has the fastest build in the game atm.
Of course, you can opt to not use a corrupted rare time-lost sapphire and keep the AoE nodes and use the 7 points elsewhere. But if you include curse aoe in all 3 of the new sapphires, then you can get back the other 8 points and use all 15 elsewhere!
For example, you could use 9 of those points and path to get Barbaric Strength, which in doing so you get 10% crit chance, 75% crit damage, 10 str, and 25 int.
4 of those points can be used to path to Gem Enthusiast, which will get you 3 str, 3 dex, and 19 int along the way.
This would allow you to replace your Megalomaniac with another rare sapphire. Your last 2 points you could take the 2 points out from the Struck Through notable on the right side for your ATD that’s not giving you any benefit from the pathing nor the notable node itself, and use 3 points to get the Chakra of Life 3% max life node above that will still be in your ATD range, and you get 30% more life recovery on top. And again your last extra point can be put into Raw Destruction for 16% spell dmg and 10 int.
Let me know what you think, there are so many things you can do with a rare adorned, it’s nice.
