Not really related to a problem

Describe the solution you'd like

Would be nice to have a toggle in configuration screen which when enabled modifies passive points and mechanics based on the differences Ruthless mode has. Not many at the moment, but might grow.

Main one I can think of is the loss of movespeed from Onslaught.

Would also be nice to filter the unavailable gems, 'Item Rarity Support' & missing movement skills.

Edit: Also reduce the number of available ascendency points to 6.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Could have a new branch of PoB, but probably not worth it as the mechanical differences betwene modes are really minor.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the configuration screen and the existing handling of Onslaught, gems, movement skills, and ascendancy points. Implement a Ruthless-mode toggle that applies the listed mechanical differences and filters unavailable options, then verify that normal mode remains unchanged.
