Levelling 1-40 tip:

Remember this vendor recipe.

Ruby ring (scoured/magic/rare) + Alteration + 1H weapon = level 8/14/20 added fire 1H weapon with the same links

Gear recommendations at five milestones:

Level 40, no investment (Vaal) Fireball - Ignite Proliferation - GMP - Combustion. Might need to hold off until A6 to source the gems. General life/resist rares in all slots except weapons and boots. Weapons: Any one of the following mods:

• Level-appropriate fire damage over time multiplier
• +1 or +2 to level of all fire skills
• Level-appropriate fire damage to spells Boots: Movespeed (20%+) Gear sourcing: Pick up items that already have the right links on them, craft them with bad essences or transmute/augment

Level 73 Same gems. Add Deadly Ailments or Burning Damage (as soon as a five link is affordable) OR work toward a Tabula Still life/resist rares in all slots CONSIDER Swift Affliction OR Unbound Ailments as a fillin for GMP on heavier bossing. Jewels are 'whatever'. Life/resist/damage. Cluster jewels: Probably none. If you own a fire DOT medium, use it, if you can roll Blowback, great.

Level 85 Six link, start to upgrade to Awakened supports if available (trade) or 20/20 supports. 20/20 Vaal fireball. Searing Touch as weapon (really hard to replace). Add a 5/6 link into it with Fire Trap for extra damage on bosses. Helm with a Fireball enchant and good stats, OR a Warlord helm with nearby enemies have -9% fire res Gloves with one of Shaper fire damage over time%, or warlord damage over time, on an item with solid other stats Boots - life/resist Torso: +2 Tabula or RGGBBB Skin of Loyal Clusters: Blowback + one other good roll medium Timeless Jewel: None yet Watcher: None yet Amulet: Hunter fire damage over time multi, or Hunter +1 int skills, or Warlord +1 fire skills on an otherwise good ammy Anoint: A problem solver node

Level 93 All awakened gems, all levelling toward 5 but not there yet. 21/20 Vaal Fireball. Searing Touch with outstanding rolls unless you fluke a better rare. Helm with Fireball enchant that you Warlord Exalt then roll to have the -9% mod plus solid other stats Gloves: Either Shaper 16% fire dot multi, or Puhuarte "fire damage added to burning enemies" with good other stats. OR Awakener Orb Shaper 16% FDOTM + Warlord damage over time Boots: Life/resist/35% movespeed two-toned boots OR Hunter boots with either Tailwind or ignites deal damage faster. Watcher's Eye with any one good Malevolence mod (18-22% DOTM or 10-15% faster damage) A good timeless jewel (so much variance here). A Karui jewel that adds 10% faster ignite burn to 2 or more passives is great. Chest: +2 Skin of the Loyal Blowback + 1 excellent affix medium clusters, either in a good large cluster, or in a 5-burned Voices Amulet: Two of Hunter fire damage over time multi, or Hunter +1 int skills, or Warlord +1 fire skills on an otherwise good ammy Anoint: Probably Constitution

Level 98 All Awakened gems, 5/20 or better where possible. 21/23 Vaal Fireball. Mirror-tier rare staff Helm with Fireball enchant, -9% mod and great other mods, OR two-implicit KRANGLED Elder (immolate mod) + Warlord 9% mod helm. Absurd Watcher's Eye (18-22% DOTM and 10-15% faster under Malevolence on the same jewel) Extraordinary Timeless Jewel. A Karui jewel with 4 lots of 10% faster ignite, or better on a Vaal jewel. 1 or 3 burned Voices with Blowback + an excellent in all slots Amulet: All of Hunter fire damage over time multi, or Hunter +1 int skills, or Warlord +1 fire skills, or two of them on an otherwise extraordinary ammy. OR an Anger or Malevolence Aul's Uprising Gloves: Either Shaper 16% fire dot multi, or Puhuarte "fire damage added to burning enemies" with good other stats. OR Awakener Orb Shaper 16% FDOTM + Warlord damage over time PLUS ele weakness on hit corrupt Boots: Life/resist/35% movespeed two-toned boots with more OR Hunter boots with Tailwind AND ignites deal damage faster. Chest: +4 Skin of the Loyal

OPTIONAL UNIQUES:

Snakepit - Try this in each ring slot and see which you prefer. In the video I use it in the right ring (chain) Malachai's Artifice - Socket with Storm Brand to abuse Elemental Equilibrium.
