Just finished the main story up a bit ago and have very little clue where to start with the ATLAS tree. I’ve been doing some heists, a bit of Delve. I’m also interested in picking up things like tainted currencies.
I’m not sure of two things. How thin you can spread yourself on the path. Should I just choose one thing or can I spread myself out without an issue. And two what things would improve my chance of picking up tainted currencies or if it is even worth it (heard they had been nerfed).
If they’re on the same side, you can probably do 2-3 mechanics in a small amount, or pretty well focus into 2 mechanics with some ease of use bonuses. You can use the PoE planner to try different trees and see how it comes together. Keep in mind that with a lot of mechanics, you can go ahead and use scarabs to proc them and save a lot of points on proc chance.

Tainted currencies currently drop from Beyond bosses. For farming tainted currency, you’ll probably be relying somewhat on Sextant modifiers or buying maps with Beyond on them. Tainted Fusings were at some point apparently nerfed to have a much lower rate of successful linking, but the poewiki indicates that they’re back to about 50/50 at 20%.
