Come back when you do Level 18: Spider Quest Holy Flame Totem - Combustion - Elemental Focus - Added Fire Level 24: Lost in Love Frostbite (just to level up not use now) Level 28: Sever the Right Hand Pick any doesn?t matter. Maybe a red to use for spell fire dmg on weapon vendor recipe Level 31: (Library Quest - A fixture of fate - purchasing a lot of gems here. Some will just be leveling passively - if you dont have gem sockets available only get what you will be actively using and come back later when you have more sockets) Cold Penetration (just to level up not use now) Arcane Cloak - Increased Duration - Second Wind - Arcane Surge Second Wind - Flame Dash Skitterbots (go back to act 2 and buy this whenever you have a spare alteration orb if you haven't yet) Snipers Mark, Frost Bomb, Spell cascade (just to level up not use now - or even come back and buy later if you dont have open sockets) Increased Critical Strikes (just to level up not use now) Increased Critical Damage (just to level up not use now) Level 34: Breaking the Seal Summon Flame Golem Hydrosphere (just to level up not use now) Immortal Call (just to level up not use now - only level up to level 3) Level 38: Eternal Nightmare Multiple Totems - Holy Flame Totem - Elemental Focus - Added Fire Immortal Call - Cast When Dmg Taken (keep at level 1) Snipers Mark, Frost Bomb, Spell cascade - Arcanist Brand (we don?t use this 4 link until we switch to freezing pulse later so just leveling it up for now) Maps: Once you complete the campaign you should go back and purchase these gems to level up in your offhand weapons - we won?t use them until we switch to freezing pulse but still need to level them up for now Hypothermia (act 3 library), Added Cold Damage (act 3 library), Greater Multiple Projectiles (act 4) NOTES: You?ll use Holy Flame Totem until you get First Snow from Act 5 Death to Purity Quest (gives you +2 to projectiles which ups your clear speed significantly). Or you could keep using Holy Flame Totem until you get any random 6 link body armor or 5 link Soul Mantle and then switch to Freezing Pulse. Either option works. Also, make sure to always have the highest level mana flask you can use. This helps a ton. Once you switch to freezing pulse your links will be as follows Freezing Pulse - Multiple totems - Increased Critical Strikes - Hypothermia > Cold Pen > Increased Critical Damage
