WoC->EK Swap PoB: https://pastebin.com/XLGda6i6 Leveling IF YOU FIND A CHAOS ORB Priority of things to buy from trade: Martyr of Innocence - This staff basically gives you 3x dmg at lvl 52 and can hard carry you. Berek's Respite - Gives you 1 additional link and can drop Ignite Prolif If you are leveling this as not your first character, feel free to use whatever leveling technique you'd like. Either Hollow Palm or just Spark->Wave of Conviction with leveling gear. Act 1 >>DO THIS FIRST<< - >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Mule Pierce from a Ranger <<<<<<<<<<<<<< Witch DOES NOT get Pierce in Act 1 and you will not replace it until Wave of Conviction. Pierce CARRIES Spark. Just make a Ranger, kill Hillok, and put the Pierce in your stash then make your Witch. >>DO THIS FIRST<< - >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Mule Onslaught from a Scion <<<<<<<<<<<<<< Witch DOES NOT get Onslaught in Act 1 and you will not replace it until Wave of Conviction. Just make a Scion, kill Hillok, and put the Pierce in your stash then make your Witch. ^^^^^^^^ DO THAT FIRST PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^ DO THAT FIRST PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^ DO THAT FIRST PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ^^^^^^^^ (Dont ask me why Spark sucks if you didnt mule at the start) Look for MS boots in town & use 2 wands Look for BGG anything in town before going to Coast. If no BGG then BG 2 link minimum. Look for >>>Normal<<< quality rings (pref Topaz but any res ring works) for level 8 recipe Look for any Blue wand for level 8 recipe Try to get 2 Alts by level 8. Pick up and vendor rares or ID'd blues for alt shards. Buy Spark from vendor, link it to Pierce and go to Mud Flats first. Level 4 After Mud Flats is over and you are in the cave, tp back to coast waypoint and go get medicine chest. Go back to town and buy Onslaught link it to Spark and Pierce in BGG anything. Take Orb of Storm from Egg quest and buy Frost Bomb from Nessa. Take Frostblink and buy Arcane Surge. Keep Arcane Surge at lvl 1 and link it to Frostblink when you can. Use Orb of Storm then stand there and cast Spark. Use Frost Bomb on any clumped packs and keep running, it will 1 shot mobs in Act 1. Level ~8-9 Once you kill Brutus take Flame Dash link Arcane Surge to it. While in town do the vendor recipe for 2 added flat to spell wands. (these will carry you a very long way) For this you need to: Vendor 1 Alt + a Blue quality wand & 1 Normal quality Sapphire, Ruby, or Topaz ring. Ideally Topaz but any work, check Nessa for rings if you need rings. Do this for both wands. (You can do this again at lvl 14 using Blue quality rings & level 20 with Yellow quality rings) Go pew pew rest of Act 1. Act 2 BANDITS: Kill all Level 16 Take Herald of Thunder as a quest reward and use it. Do another vendor recipe for wands but with Blue quality rings or skip this one and do it at level 20. Level 20 Do another vendor recipe for wands but with Yellow quality rings. (These wands should be good until ~Act 4-6 then look for new wands.) Go pew pew Act 2. Act 3 Start looking for: BBGG for Spark - Added Lightning Damage - Pierce - Onslaught Level 24 Take Conductivity from the reward & buy Purity of Elements from the vendor. Go to the Library and do the quest for Siosa From Siosa buy: Sniper's Mark and replace Conductivity. Buy Grace & Vitality. Use Vitality but don't level it toooooo much. Act 4 Stay Spark until you can afford to buy Ignite Prolif for 1 Alch Do lab now if you haven't, it should be ez mode. DONT SWAP BEFORE YOU HAVE SHAPER OF FLAMES Look for BBBR Once you kill Malachai buy Ignite Proliferation. Drop Spark and run Wave of Conviction - Added Lightning Damage - Ignite Prolif - Cruelty Go back and buy Anger & Discipline. Rush Eldrich Battery to fix all mana problems, dont use Discipline until then. Buy Arcanist Brand, Combustion, Flame Surge, Flamability and link all 4 together, use Arcanist Brand when you need a massive single target dmg boost. Replace Orb of Storms and link Arcane Surge to Flame Dash. Swap your added light wands for added fire now, look for any sort of dot multi, fire dot multi, added fire, spell dmg, ect on jewels and weps. Act 5-10 Keep following the skill trees for each act. Rush Eldrich Battery first then pick up all of the fire nodes as needed.
