This passive skill tree allows a player to gain passive skill points that they can allocate to various passive abilities. The new 3.18 Sentinel update brings a lot of changes that players might want to know about.

How to Make the Perfect Atlas Tree Sentinel in Path of Exile

Because of the new Keystones to be introduced in the Sentinel update will be extremely important to know which ones are worth taking and which ones are not. Aside from Keystones, Nodes are also vital in your early game progress since it affects your early mapping strategy. This guide will teach you which Keystones and Nodes are worth obtaining in the new patch.

Making the Perfect Atlas Tree

Map Nodes disable specific content in the map while also giving you a higher chance of seeing other extra hidden content. However, certain content in the game cannot be disabled.

Even if you take 10 Map Nodes in the Atlas Tree, your content won’t be heavily affected. Most fast map-clearing builds consider this tactic because it gives you almost all the resources for the early league.
