[3.17] For Slayer / Champion - Ngamahu Cyclone / Consecrated Path / Tectonic Slam

is there any tips for someone new to exile and this build? At least leveling wise, im not exactly sure what to go for atm, im having to restart my duelist as is cause I screwed up the tree ( went down physical damage nodes instead of attack speed nodes first haha).
Also is the 2 passives that much better then the physical damage bandit? Sorry Games kinda overwhelming for me just starting out lol.

If your level is over 30, you can just stick to leveling this character. Just spec into the other side to link up the tree and refund those mis-placed nodes at a later time.

For leveling, you can check out leveling to 55 section. There are some useful tips there. :)

And yes, 2 passives better.

In almost every situation, I ALWAYS go for the Bandit passives (even pre-3.0) because it gets you further into the tree sooner. Once you're satisfied with your build, you can drop a couple points and take another bandit option.

As for leveling, I think a few people have already made recommendations. There are several good skills to use, like Cleave or Molten Strike. Considering this build is primarily fire damage, Molten Strike would probably be your best bet. Get a 2h weapon as soon as you can and just start mowing down mobs. You get Cyclone at 28 and it just gets easier from there.

I personally recommend attaching Cyclone to Blood Magic for leveling. This build doesn't give us a very large Mana pool, but it DOES give us insane Life Leech. You won't even notice the life spent on Cyclone. Once you get enough Mana Leech or regen, you can drop the Blood Magic and add even more damage to Cyclone.

Far as gear goes, read the first post. Just look for the stats it recommends. You can complete Acts 1-9 just with self-found gear without even crafting anything. Act 10's end boss might cause issues, but at that point you should be well into the better gear.

Alright thank you! That was very helpful, I figured i Could just keep going but i was only level 15 so its easy to roll back through act 1 again. Id rather have my re-spec points in case something new pops up an ahh makes alot of sense on the bandits, I missed the levleing to 55 section.
Thanks for the tips! :).
A buddy mine is gonna start playing to as a dark pact marauder so i guess it works? lol.
Awesome I will have to get started then this build looks like lots of fun.
I guess I had just been confused on which tree to focus on, the one with avatar of fire is good or the primeval one till I get the required UNiques/legendary items? thats probably my main question

Does anyone know what the bare minimum INT requirements are for this build?

For all gems to get to Level 20 you need 111 INT, 155 STR and 155 DEX.

Thanks for the quick reply!

So I swapped Flammability for Enfeeble, and I am having much smoother runs. (that sounds bad lol.) I think you guys fixed me! I'll continue pushing my way forward and up and see how far I can go.

As for Flask juggling, I have mental trauma issues caused by my time in Iraq. I don't have the dexterous movement or rapid thought processes to make constant fast reactions like I once had, and it is extraordinarily complicated for me to be able to do that. That's the reason I try to go with builds that require as little input as possible (also the reason I quit WoW). I start to get frustrated and stressed out when my fingers don't do what I want them to, and the whole point of playing vidya games for me is to destress. Less stress = fewer flashbacks and lower blood pressure = smaller chance of a heart attack! :-)

So I look for something where I can basically just hold down mouse buttons, because I can still do that well. Or something where I only have to hit two potions in rare situations, like healing or clearing bleeds/curses. Usually on the same potions. I'm sure I'll lose a lot of DPS, but I don't expect to ever clear Shaper or anything lol.

kira1414, thank you for taking time to respond to pretty much every comment here. Of course, it seems i once again have another question ;s I've collected enough to buy Dying sun flask and i wanna buy properly rolled one, should i go for reduced charges roll or increased area of effect. Thanks in advance

Sorry to hear about that. For flask, there are 3 flasks that I always hit before engaging a pack.

Namely: Quick Silver + Granite + Ruby.

With those 3 flasks up, you can generally tank through without much issue.

Hope that helps.

You might also want to write in to GGG support and ask if it is okay for you to bind certain keys to a macro mouse given your condition. I believe GGG will be more than happy to assist you.

You will go for reduced charges. -10% reduced is the best possible roll. :)

Hello, first thanks kira for this amazing post !

Sorry if already asked, but can raider be a great option for this build ? I prefer the raider playstyle but dunno if it's worth or far behind slayer. (sorry for my english)

Thanks ! :)

I always find it funny when any one asks this question.

It is like there are 2 Pizza shops next to each other. A customer walks into Pizza Shop A and ask the shop owner: "I have never eat pizza before but I would like to try one. Is your pizza better or Shop B is better?" ;)

I will highlight one main difference between Slayer and Raider and that is the leech.

Slayer do not require Vaal Pact and thus retain life regen on the build. Raider requires Vaal Pact and loses the life regen.

Okay, so both are equal in term of damage but slayer is more safe than raider if i'm right :)

Thanks for fast reply !
