Hi guys!!
Welcome to the leveling portion of this guide.
This portion will contain some step by step information to help progress the early act's smoothly.
****We have chosen not to include these specific steps past a certain point.
At that point the build "is online" and carries itself very well.
And it is up to the player to manage resistances, flasks and armour specifically..****
This PoB contains multiple step by step leveling tree's that you can find in the bottom of the PoB screen under the tree tab.
These different tree's are located above the " Find Timeless Jewel " tab.
You can use these step by step tree's to level the build yourself during league start, or play test before!
***Important notes***
We have lost TAUNT mastery.. but with the last test beta test of the build completed live on twitch,
we see no need to change our mind about the build.
This is the PoB from the end of that specific test.. (act 10 complete all labs/quests done SSF)

Below all these steps will be some general tips and tricks that came to light during testing with the help of our
community! If you are experiencing some issues during leveling or early maps, check these tipps out! they may help you solve the problem.
The steps provided below are based upon the idea that you have the right colours in your gear.
Check vendors when u do a town run to provide you with the needed colours.

Battlefront
- Go through battlefront taking ribbon spool, staying south on the way to Docks. Here you can level up some if needed.
Grab Thaumetic sulphite in docks.
- Head to Solaris Temple and follow the red carpet to level 2 and Dialla. Grab a amulet (STR or DEX as needed)

- At this point the BB (stormblast mine - added lightning), is going to be near mandatory to help kill the next mini bosses
- At this point we will no longer use Warbanner ( if you were using it). due to the fact that we dont deal any physical damage anymore!
- Kill Gravicus and head to Lunaris temple. Follow the carpet down to level 2 and kill Piety
- In town grab the Piety skill points from Grigor, pick any reward from Maramoa, check Hargan for upgrades/4 links

Act 7
- We take our 2nd ascendancy "Arcane Blessing". This gives needed mana regen and cast speed
(without this we have mana starvation on a 4 link!!).
***Allows us to modify the skill tree (removing Deep Thoughts for Arcane Capacitator for dramatic arcane surge scaling)***
Act 10
- Take your 3rd ascendancy "Conviction of Power" before Kitava.
Scale damage per charge nodes as instruction in the levelling POB (Disciple of the Forbidden plus the mastery).
Early Maps
- We still use Elemental Overload until we have 5-6Link to properly scale crit/multi (remember to take off EE once you do start crit scale)
Tips
- placing the Flamewall exactly on totem location or between Mob and totem increases your damage.
-Adding frost blink to your setup can help you speed up by canceling the animation of your leap slam.
- Adding a trap with wave of conviction will provide exposure ( more dps) even with ancestral bond enabled.
- Frostblinking INTO a pack reduces the cooldown of the skill
- Make sure you grab all rares/magics early on. Sell Un-identified if you need Transmute sell identified if you need Alterations
- Make sure to do & collect Essences. These are easy alchemy orbs in the first few Acts.
- Pick up Rare sceptres and ID them.
- if your damage doesnt seem to scalke while u are adding the 5th and 5th link ( both crit ) check if you removed elemental overload from the tree!
-granite flasks help a LOT early on to provide needed phys mitigation. keep an eye our for them to avoid losing 50% res to determination.
-Damage of the build is substantial enough to not need hatred early on.. if you feel your safety lacks but you damage is okay,
Swap hatred for Heralnd of ice + vitality + defiance banner combined with granite flask.
-At act 6 your resistance takes a -30% penalty. Luckly for us, a simple bismuth flask can help.
while it is always advised to work to get your gear in check, such a simple flask comes in handy in a pinch!
-If you are experiencing issues with ailments with no easy other way to fix them
You can always change some of your damage options to purity of elements to be imune.
your damage should be enough either way
Quite a few people from the comunity including myself, will leaguestart with this build!
