luciusftw's Notes
Don't do Darkscorn until you have at least 50% chaos res, and try to cap it over time, it will give you huge survivability against physical hits.
Blood Rage until you get Frenzy charge on kill nodes.
LEVELING:
Will be less extensive since I'm kinda winging it myself. Use at your own risk.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Act 1:
- Mule yourself a Duelist: Start as Duelist, go to your first quest Reward in Lioneye's Watch and take Splitting Steel.
- Then put all your gems and gear into your stash and check vendors for good 3-links and Movement Speed Boots.
- Roll your Shadow as normal
- Get a high Physical Damage 2-Hander (Sword or Axe)
- Use Splitting Steel + Onslaught + Chance to Bleed Support until level 12
- At Level 12 respec into Poisonous Concoction + Volley + Onslaught
- Level 2x Caustic Arrows in your offhand for later.
Act2:
- Kill all Bandits
- Take Herald of Agony and Blood Rage
Act3:
- Take Despair and Grace
- Once you have a 4-Link go PConc + Onslaught + Volley + Unbound Ailments
- Take Plague Bearer, it's insane
- Do the "Fixture of Fate" Quest in the Library to get Wither, Spell Totem, Shield Charge, Faster Attacks and Ballista Totem
- Use Spell Totem + Wither + Faster Casting
- Use Shield Charge + Faster Attacks
Act 4:
- Get your first Ascendancy (One Step Ahead)
- Get Lightning Golem, Greater Volley, Multiple totems and Greater Multiple Projectiles (GMP)
- Go Poison Conc + GMP + Greater Volley + Unbound Ailments
- Go Spell Totem + Faster Casting + Wither + Multiple Totems
Act 4 powerspike is insane for Poison conc, at this point it's basically GG for acts.
Try to upgrade your gear for resistances and life afterwards, if you can get some attack speed as well that's sick.
Act 5-10:
- Easy af
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When to reroll?
You need:
- A bow with high physical/Chaos damage like the ones in the pob.
- The gem setups that are in the pob at the ready
- A decent quiver
You can stay Poison Conc basically as long as you want, it hardly falls off until T7+ Maps so do however you please.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ascendancy Order:
1) One Step Ahead
2) Polymath
3) Heartstopper
4) Swift Killer

Wish you all a great Leaguestart <3
