Essence Drain Contagion IS Crazy! Day 1 Update 3.29 Curse of the Allflame

DAY 1 NOTES LEVELING TIPS -Kinetic Fussillade is an ability that needs flat damage, so look for a good wand with flat ele, gloves/rings ect help -Make sure you don't hold the button down, you need to press and release fast, or press a few times and release without attacking for a second. -The ability will be delayed if you don't do it properly resulting in BIG dps loss. SPELLSLINGER SETUP -Changed links slightly, better for 5-Link swap. -Essence Drain goes with Soulrend in 5-Link -Contagion goes with Coldsnap, make sure Contagion is the first gem in the chain (so it goes before cold snap, important for Essence Drain) SQUISHY EARLY -You can drop Cold Snap and run Mana Mastery in order to run either Tempest Shield or Flesh & Stone, this helps quite a bit. -Later on get Enduring Compusure or Anoint Agressive Bastion, endurance charges are big! -Attack Block + Block is the way to feel tanky in maps, focus on block jewels / anoints early, also %block on shield big. WHEN TO SWAP?! -There is no set answer, I actually stayed slinger until t16s, but you can definitely swap way earlier if you want. -Cane does ramp quite well with Frenzy Ralakesh + Badge but if you get enough cast speed from Moonstone rings ect, you should be fine to swap earlier. EB IS DROPPED ONCE YOU GET CANE -Cane has enough recovery to sustain itself once you start getting Power Charges (note you don't really want them before Cane) RESERVATION WITH CANE -You need Soverighty to run the Mana-Infused staff + Malevolence + Flesh & Stone.
