  "description": "Marten's α build for PoE 2 0.5 'Runes of Aldur' (launches 2026-05-29). Spirit Walker Huntress with Twister + companions + shocked ground synergy. Vivid Stampede creates shocked ground; Twisters over shocked ground gain massive damage. Sacred Unity stacks stag/bear/owl spirits. Boss Taming tames world bosses as group tanks. NO leech, NO ES — none of 0.5's headline nerfs apply.\n\nThis is a TEMPLATE — passive IDs are placeholders. Replace with creator's official .build file (Mobalytics, Maxroll) once they publish for 0.5 on launch day, OR update IDs manually using poe2db after launch.",
