CaptainLance9's Notes

Early game Basic Vendor check: "g-g-g|b-b-b|b-b|nne|rint|Flam|e to Sp" ***************************** Progression Basic Steps *************************** Lvl1-> Mule templar for Ele Prolif Lvl1-> Leveling with Magma Orb + Ele prolif till Pyroclast Lvl4-> Flamewall / Frostblink+arcane surge(keep lvl 1) / Momentum(save for whirling blades later) / Snipers Mark(either use this or assassin mark in late game not both) Lvl8-> Combustion support 3L Lvl 10-> Whirling Blades - Faster Attacks - Momentum Lvl 16-> Skitterbots + (Herald of ash OR thunder not both) Act 2 Yeena->Assassins Mark (can wait to get this on pyro swap later) Act 2 -> Help Alira (change to 2 passive later when better geared) Act 3 room next to diallah -> Bench recipe fire to spells craft on both weapons(4 transmutes each) Act 3 ->drop ash/thunder for purity of elements when you get Eldritch Battery Keystone on tree (we will swap to grace later when we get better dex and chill/freeze remove on flask) Act 3 Run Lab + Siosa -> Then go for pyroclast swap at lvl 31 recommended Act 3-> pyroclast links - charged mine - swift assembly - (inc crit/crit dam/fire pen/Hypothermia) Act 4-> get minefield quest reward to level in off hand until ready to swap to it Act 5 Jade flask Act5-10:Just cruise control, id rares and upgrade as you go, have fun! Act 7/8: swap purity of elements to grace when you have dex and cruel lab done(only if res is capped with gear, otherwise keep upgrading res on gear until swap is ready) Act 7/8: Use beastiary or alt/augs to roll remove freeze on life flask(this is most dangerous ailment and removal is needed until upgraded brine king pantheon) Act 10 Quartz flask reward *************************** Minefield vs Swift Assembly ************************** I like swift early, minefield feels too clunky/slow early, I like swapping around act 9 personally for higher DPS **************** OPTIONAL Extra Gem Setups when You can afford coloring/linking sockets *************************** Divine Blessing - Inspiration - Zealotry or Anger Generosity - Dread Banner(very strong for evasion based characters) CWDT - Immortal Call **************** Pyroclast Basics *************************** Detonation Sequence Important for single target, will take a bit of learning making sure to start detonation and not redetonate in the middle of sequence when possible for maximum extra projectiles and damage. Still dodge when needed as its not the end of the world to break sequences every now and then but definitely practice or get a feel for this playstyle as it could make or break if its a skill you enjoy playing. ******************************************************************
