Aziire's Notes

Gems Links to use for Levelling (In order of priority): Act 1: Freezing Pulse > Added Lightning Damage Flame Dash > Arcane Surge Level 7 Act 2: Storm Burst > Infused Channelling > Added Lightning Damage > Faster Casting Flame Dash > Arcane Surge Level 7 > Faster Casting Herald of Ice + Herald of Thunder + Clarity Make sure you can sustain your Mana cost with Clarity. Once you can stop levelling it, and level it more once you can no longer sustain. Act 4: Storm Burst > Cast when Channelling > Hydrosphere > Infused Channelling Act 6: Storm Burst > Cast when Channelling > Hydrosphere > Infused Channelling > Inspiration > Concentrated Effect Cast when Damage Taken Level 7 > Immortal Call Level 9 > Increased Duration Add Vitality anywhere it can fit Just use as many links as you have. Setting up CwDT early saves your life a lot. This setup can rock you well into maps, just start trying to mirror the gems in the main setups when you hit Maps. Levelling Gear worth getting: Hrimsorrow Gloves are great and I used them up until I got Call of the Brotherhood Stormchargers are our end game boots anyway and they go for 1c max rolled Tabula Rasa is great if you can get one, low level Rituals can be RNG but I've heard of people with some good Tabula luck in them. For a wepaon use the Trade Link in my forum guide. Even just picking up a Sceptre with +1 to Phys/Spell/Lightning Gems will carry you to Yellow Maps. Cluster Jewels: I'm listing all the mods here and their order of importance. This way you can look for a variety of Cluster Jewels. Large Cluster Jewel Prefixes Snowstorm Overshock Stormrider (Opens up Medium Cluster options) Thunderstruck (Knockback) Sadist Stormdrinker Suffixes Doryani's Lesson (Gives us Life Leech) Disorienting Display (Gives us Blind which = 50% Evade Chance) Medium Cluster Jewel Effect of Ailments Cluster Jewel Cold Conduction Stormrider (If you didn't get it on the Large) Overshock Astonishing Affliction Channelling Skills Cluster Jewel Rapid Infusion (Infusion Effect) Precise Focus (Move speed & Crtit Multi) Unwavering Focus (Reduced Mana Cost) Stoic Focus (Attack and Spell Block) Enduring Focus (25% Chance of Endurance Charges) Hex Breaker (Removes Curses)
