Hi, garf412 here, and this is my levelling guide for this build portrayed in this Path of Building.
All gear, the tree and chosen skills have been tested in Standard, SSF and Trade League, it works :D
However, if you want to try other things, be my guest, have fun :)
Stay Safe in Rogue Harbour
Molten Strike is my suggestion for starting this build, linked to your Ruthless support, you have access to this at League start from Nessa, if not on League then go Hideout and
just buy whatever gems you have colours for. These notes will assume a League Start scenario.
The support gems are also reliant on what colours your Oni has, when writing this mine dropped with RRRGGB
these notes are written with those colours, you may need to adjust your supports based on your Oni colours
End Game we need 6 Red in our Oni but 5 Red 1 Green is great to level with so aim for that
ACT1 = R / R / G / R / B / RRGGB (OH = R)
Killed Hillock from Tarkleigh = Molten Strike
Killed Hellrake from Nessa = Onslaught
Buy from Nessa = Chance to Bleed
Open Submerged Passage from Tarkleigh = Take any gem for future use / trade.
Buy from Nessa = Warbanner, INT (Lapis) Amulet, Frostblink, Blood and Sand
After getting Waypoint in the Prison, go back to town

If your Oni doesn't have 6 Red, aim for 5R 1G and keep Onslaught, its the next best Option
Rescue Helena from Greust = Herald of Ash
Buy from Yeena = Herald of Purity, Blood Rage.
Deactivate Precision, keep the gem at level 1, for later use.
Activate both Heralds
