>>>General Tips for STEEL BUILD<<< ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ We're not really sure how good or bad steel skills are yet! You should be able to get Splitting Steel right at level 2 when you enter the town. Shattering Steel is level 12 at merviel Lancing Steel is 28 at Gravicius I'll probably start with: Splitting steel Chance to Bleed (splitting steel looks like it has good added effectiveness of damage) Onslaught GRG then try out shattering steel at 12 ~~~~After Breaking some eggs add: Dash Ancestral Protector - eventually add Maim when you have links Warbanner - placing your banner can give you a burst of quick attacks and damage, REALLY good for bosses Molten Shell ~~~~After Brutus Leap Slam - Likely drop all Quicksilver flasks for Mana flasks, I like to use 2-3 Precision - try not to level this gem too much because it's reservation climbs with levels Enduring Cry (kinda nerfed, still nice) ~~~~A2 Add faster attacks to leap slam Blood rage Herald of Purity A3 Take Vulnerability or maybe Sniper's Mark? Impale Support War banner -> Dread Banner most of these skills have innate impale so it should be REALLY easy to hit 100% impale between ascendancy and support gem might not be worth it to go over 100% with the support, probably not worth it to go over 100% with banner. !!!!!Note: if you're ever thinking 'my mana is really bad right now' then drop auras or improve your mana flasks. Ascend order Master of Metal First to Strike, Last to Fall Unstoppable Hero Fortitude Having always fortify is nice because otherwise we have to rely on leapslam or some other move skill to get it ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` General Tips for >>>SLAM BUILD<<< Levels 1 to 12 Use Ground Slam Ground Slam - first quest reward as you enter A1 town Onslaught Support - After Mercy Mission Ruthless - After Mercy Mission GRR Ground Slam does MORE damage the closer you are, being point blank is like having an extra support gem Note: Getting the Warcries cannot Exert Travel Skills craft helps a ton after you start warcrying ~~~~After Breaking some eggs add: Dash (will need dex on gear/amulet/passive tree) Ancestral Protector - eventually add Maim when you have links Warbanner - placing your banner can give you a burst of quick attacks and damage, REALLY good for bosses Molten Shell Blood and Sand - if perforate so you can have clear / single target. Use Sand stance for clearing and Blood stance for single target. Just reactivate the skill to switch stances. ~~~~After Brutus Leap Slam - Likely drop all Quicksilver flasks for Mana flasks, I like to use 2-3 (swapping ruthless for added fire is an option here) Precision - try not to level this gem too much because it's reservation climbs with levels Intimidating Cry - Next two hits are double damage (counts leap slam sadly unless craft/passive) ~~~~At level 12 (Mervs cavern) switch to Earthshatter Onslaught Added Fire ~~~~A2 Add faster attacks to leap slam Blood rage Melee Physical damage for main links Close Combat Support (better than Onslaught for bosses, or permanently) [will limit you to axes/swords] Herald of Purity Seismic Cry - Next 4 hits do 30/60/90/120 MORE damage o0) A3 You can swap Herald of Purity and War Banner out for Pride if you want Take Vulnerability Curse as well !!!!!Note: if you're ever thinking 'my mana is really bad right now' then drop auras or improve your mana flasks. By now your links should be Earthshatter (r) Close Combat (g) (Act 2) Onslaught (g) Melee Physical damage (r) (Act 2) If you don't have 2 greens, use added fire or ruthless Fortify can be a good 5th Link when you find a 5L Add in impale on tree/support/banner closer to maps. Ascend order Master of Metal First to Strike, Last to Fall Unstoppable Hero Fortitude Having always fortify is nice because otherwise we have to rely on leapslam or some other move skill to get it If you need more help swing by my channel at twitch.tv/donthecrown
