Path of Exile [3.5]: Betrayal League Starter Builds

Leveling As for leveling this build, you will want to start as a normal Hit Based Blade Vortex character, grabbing the appropriate supports to level as you can and swapping to Decay and Blight after you get it around level ~38. I started with the following: Level 1 Freezing Pulse - Onslaught - Arcane Surge (Fit this in if you have a 3L) Grab a Blight when you can to start leveling it! Level 4 Frost Bomb - Use this as often as possible, it is very strong! Level 10 Flame Dash Clarity Level 12 Blade Vortex - Onslaught - Arcane Surge Drop Freezing Pulse / Frost Bomb Level 16 Herald of Purity You can take other Heralds (Ash/Lightning/Ice) to stack if you want, as we will be leveling with regular Hit damage with BV until Decay Level 18 Blade Vortex - Onslaught - Faster Casting - Controlled Destruction Between these levels, you will want to be focusing on gear upgrades and possibly swapping Onslaught out for AoE/Concentrated Effect if you get a Silver Flask. Level 38 Blade Vortex - Decay - Swift Affliction - Void Manipulation Wither - Spell Totem - Increased Duration Blight - Controlled Destruction - Swift Affliction This should now be powerful enough to carry you through to mapping!
