[3.15] Best Atlas Skill Tree For Each Region – PoE Echoes of The Atlas

Echoes of Atlas expansion has been added to the Path of Exile and one of the coolest new features is the ability to choose Atlas Skill tree for each map region. The skill trees give different bonuses and you can target farm your favorite content pretty consistently. Want to farm a lot of sulphite? No problem, just go for Sulphite Infusion in Lex Proxima and get sulphite after each map completion. Loved Perandus league? No problem, we got mini Perandus league in Lex Ejoris. The beautiful part of the skill trees is the fact that whichever way you go, there will always be some profit, so in general, don’t be afraid to mess up and go for the content that you like.
In this guide, we will share with you how we allocated skill trees and which ones we think are the best.

2 Points – The Groves Call

Harvest, while nerfed, is still the best choice in this region.

4 Points – Nature’s Favour

Gives you better crafting options, so it’s a chance to craft better items.

6 Points – Wild Fruit

Level 4 Harvest crafting options are a few of the strongest crafting options in the game, such as Fracturing items or adding Synthesized implicit mods for your items. It’s a must-have.

8 – 10 Sacred Lands & Paid in Blood

Having more Ritual spawns, tribute, and extra chances to reroll ritual rewards is too good to pass up. Alternatively, you could go for Controlled Corruption & Amplified if you don’t see yourself doing rituals.

2 Points – Monumental

Legion has been rebalanced, and Glennach cairns is the best region to farm legions for loot.

4 Points – High Value Targets

25% chance to have reward for Sergeants is really good, now it’s way more balanced than in previous league, but still amazing.

6 Points – Face to Face

Increased chance for generals is a must have if we go legion route.

8 – 10 Resource Reallocation & Contested Development

With the ability to itemize and sell Alva’s temples, these nodes are extremely powerful this league. With these nodes, you can get a lot of rooms to the max level and you are punished less for switching up your temple.

2 Points – That Which You Seek

We decided to go the Delirium route – a 10% additional chance to contain Delirium is a solid choice for the first 2 points in the region.

4 Points – The Singular Eternity

There are quite a few non-linear maps in the region, so slower fog dissipation really works wonders.

6 Points – Greater Forces

Great way to boost your delirium rewards in the region.

8 – 10 Trespassers & Exotic Goods

With rewards buffed, these nodes – a must-have for this region.

2 Points – War Supplies

Extra war hoards are great for rewards and chance to get a full emblem.

4 Points – Emblematic

The chance for splinters to drop as Emblems instead is absolutely amazing.

6 Points – Total Anarchy

10% chance to spawn 20 Rogue Exiles is really good for 2 points.

8 – 10 Abyssal Army & Votive Hoard

You could go for Niko here, but we thought we’d leave the Lex Proxima region for sulphite farming, so we went for Abyss instead. These 2 nodes give more experience, spawn more monsters, and adds a chance to get rare items with abyssal sockets on them. Abyssal sockets were previously hard to get on rares, so if your build could spare a few skill gems, an abyssal socket is an extremely strong choice on the item.

2 Points – Prospero’s Promise

Since we were big fans of the Perandus league, we decided to go in this direction. Node adds mini Perandus league to the maps in the region by guaranteeing one Perandus chest.

4 Points – Friend of The Family

Boosting Cadiro’s rewards has been a solid choice for my playthrough. While nerfed a bit in 3.14, it’s still amazing and in my opinion, a must have.

6 Points – Pathological

Maps with random delirium orbs on them are always good.

8 – 10 Compulsive Hoarder & Escaped Experiment

Compulsive hoarder is a good choice to further boost delirium rewards. With the last 2 points, Escaped experiment is a good choice if your build can handle metamorphs.

2 Points – Rich Veins

We believe this is the best region to farm Sulphite so we specialized in that as soon as possible.

4 Points – Sulphite Infusion

Guaranteed Sulphite after each map is amazing, this is a no-brainer.

6 Points – Gatekeepers

With Harvest nerfed and breachstones buffed, breach nodes in the region look really good, so we will be picking up these.

8 – 10 Withing Their Grasp & Invading Force

Double splinters & a chance to get Breachstone drops as well as increased monster density is definitely worth it.

2 Points – Ominous Arrival

Extra Harbinger in areas is pretty nice for 2 points.

4 Points – Diplomatic Escort

While these nodes are nerfed, they are still worth taking.

6 Points – Intrinsic Darkness

An additional chance to spawn a Metamorph is a good choice here.

8 – 10 High Yield & Repeated Experiment

With these nodes we get to assemble an additional Metamorph, plus get more samples to build our own in Tane’s Lab.

2 Points – Spores in The Wind

These 2 points allow us to farm maps with guaranteed blight encounter, which is amazing.

4 Points – Epidemiology

A larger chance to get Blighted maps is awesome because they pay very well. Getting them with anointment is great as well.

6 – 8 Points – Animal Companion & Natural Selection

Bestiary is actually a really solid choice when you pick up both nodes.

10 Points – Probing for Weakness

10% extra chance to spawn breaches is a solid choice for the last nodes.

2 Points – Neural Pathways

Extra chance to get Synthesis maps is a must-have since they offer great rewards.

4 Points – Vivid Memories

Synthesized item drops can be amazingly powerful, so we picked that.

6 Points – Synthetic Source

Further boosting Synthesized unique items with 3 implicit mods.

8-10 Points – Depends on what content you are focusing on

Last 4 points you should put in the nodes that align with the content you are focusing on. We went for Master of The Atlas & Paths not taken since it synergizes well with Synthesis, making it more common through Zana’s missions.
