The planner link leaves out 2 pieces, because the video does not show their main stats.

1. Blackhole Pull the pack together first, so Outbreak hits more of them. 2:52
2. Seed Bomb Plant the seeds under the enemies. They take a moment to go off, even right under a target. 2:26
3. Contagion Stack poison fast. On a boss, place the cloud on the ground under it. 6:47
4. Outbreak Wait until the enemies carry a lot of poison, then cast Outbreak to burn it off in explosions. 8:00

• The video gives Seed Bomb a 7 second cooldown. The game files give Seed Bomb 8 seconds before Spell Haste, and this tree takes three Spell Haste nodes. 2:30
• The video says Intelligence raises Ether damage, which it treats as poison damage. The game files give 1 Magic Power per point of Intelligence. 1:32
• The video says Black Hole needs 12 Memory, 12 Charisma and 12 Intelligence. The wiki has not checked this number in the game files. 2:17
• The video says the Putrid three piece bonus turns Erupt into poison. The game text says Erupt deals Decay damage and its water pools become Poison. 9:40
• The 20 poison stacks of Poison Mist did not fully apply when the video was recorded, according to Zelendes. 3:19
• Envenoming Outbreak is the boss pick. Outbreak uses up poison, and this node puts some of it back on the target. 8:46
• The video names these drops and the game files agree: Corrupted Treant drops Blightseed, Rotting Treant drops Rootbloom, Corrupted Monstrous Droop drops Putrid, and goblin rippers and flask rats drop Graveveil. 10:36
• The video says bracers drop more often from tier three boss bounties. The wiki has not checked this in the game files. 11:41
• The set rows on the tooltips show where every set is worn. Blightseed (6 of 6) sits on the rune, undercoat, belt, both rings and the second badge. Putrid (3 of 5) sits on the charm, second amulet and first badge. Graveveil (2 of 5) takes both bracers, and one Rootbloom amulet fills the last slot. That is all 12 slots. 9:25
• Six tooltips are opened in the first pass, and each of those pieces is forged to +11, the top forge level, which the planner counts as level 12. Poison Damage, Critical Rate and Decay Damage show up on most of them. 10:08
• The pet is Goose, a level 8 Blight Crow. 12:36
• Between 10:05 and 10:10 the video flicks the cursor across the worn pieces. Read frame by frame, four more tooltips marked Equipped show up: a Rare Blightseed Polished Band +11 ring (% Magic Damage 8.8), a Rare Blightseed Adept Emblem +11 badge (% Magic Damage 8.8), a Rare Wardbound Blightseed Reinforced Cincture +11 belt (Resistance 13.2) and a Rare Replenishing Putrid Imbued Charm +11 (Stamina Regen 17.7). Polished, Adept, Reinforced and Imbued are 2 stars; +11 is forge level 12. 10:06

The video does not show these, so this guide leaves them out.

• The tooltips of the under-coat and the second ring (both Blightseed, from the 6 of 6 set row), so their rarity and stats are unknown. Every 0.5 s of the video was read with text recognition and the gear stretch 10:05-10:13 every 0.1 s; neither is ever hovered.
• Which bracer sits in which bracer slot. The two are listed in the order the video opens them.
• Where the Seed Bomb and Black Hole spellbooks drop. The video only guesses.
