Make sure to level Pride in your offhand. LEVELING LINKS - Link Chance to Bleed and Maim or Ruthless to Perforate early on. - Swith out links to Melee Physical Damage and Close Combat once available. - In Act 3/4 make sure to search for a 4 link. Once secured, use whatever you have available (Ruthless, Maim, Chance to Bleed, Faster Attacks) until you get Multistrike in Act 4. - For your first 5 link, again use whatever is available, but switch out for Imaple Support once you start having enough passive points to invest in the remaining 40% imaple chance needed on the tree (around level 80 or so). - Your first 6 link should consist of Perforate, Melee Physical, Multistrike, Close Combat, Imaple Support and Brutality. **Ensure you don't contniue to use elemental damage such as Herald of Ash after equipping Brutality as it won't benefit you anymore** GENERAL LEVELING TIPS - As you're leveling remember to continually grab new Axe bases and upgrade them with any Essences or Orbs of Alchemy you find. Or alternatively use the Rustic Sash reciepe (Magic or Rate Rustic Sash + Blacksmith Whetstone + Axe). - Grab Herald of Ash in Act 2 for extra damage and clear. - Grab Purity of Elements in Act 3 to provide easy ailement immunity and a boost to all resistances. - During the campaign, use whatever gear drops with decent stats to get your through the acts, but once into maps, start focusing on pure Armor bases for optimal defense. - Link Precision to Arrogance when possible and mind the life cost in the earlier acts. - You will need roughly 98 Intelligence to run Purity of Elements and max level so prioritize getting this until Purity of Elements is dropped for Pride (Around Yellow/Red Maps) - State priority should be Strength and then Dexterity with enough Intelligence to run Purity of Elements.
