In Essence Worm:: Wrath

Also where you can put them in: Herald of Ice, Vaal Righteous Fire

This is my current gear setup:


Here are the flasks I am using:


As the Inpulsa is a pretty expensive piece, you could also sub that out for Carcass Jack. This will give you more mapping speed and also cost a bit less while you save for Inpulsa.

Righteous Providence - Inevitable Judgement - Instruments of Virtue - Augury of Penitence

You can also take Instruments of Virtue first as it may speed up the leveling process just a bit, but I took this route and leveling was a breeze.

Help Alira

I took Soul of Solaris and Soul of Gruthkul for damage reduction.

From the start, I used Freezing Pulse - Added Lightning and Frost Bomb - Onslaught to get through act 1. Once you kill Merveil, you can go pick up your Storm Brand gem and it can be used from then on. For the tree, I grabbed a bit of life first to make leveling more smooth then switched directions to grab brand nodes. You should be getting the Explosive Runes right around the time you are getting the Storm Brand gem.


Tree levels 1 - 15 https://tinyurl.com/yd7uza9a

The 4 link I use was

Storm Brand - Added Lightning - Controlled Destruction - Faster Attacks

This setup carried me all the way till I got my 6 link.

In Act 2, you get Brand Recall as a reward from the quest Intruders in Black, this can be used at level 16 and will give you a lot more control with your brands. You can also attach arcane surge early on in Act 3 you will get Efficacy and Increased duration to set up your Brand Recall 4 link.. This setup will be a big boost to your damage while leveling.

The next main nodes on the tree I took were Shaman's Dominion and Runebinder to get a big boost in damage and get that addition brand attachment for tougher enemies.


Tree level 15 - 38 https://tinyurl.com/y94l2duz

Once you get to Act 4, I like to run The Dried Lake over and over till I get to level 36 or so then I go do my first ascendancy. Once you finish that, its pretty smooth all the way to end game.

For mobility, I used flame dash all the way till act 6 and then added in Shield Charge that I purchased from Lilly after doing the quest Fallen from Grace.

The next tree node I worked towards was the Runesmith and Doom Cast area. After that I also took Throatseeker.


Tree level 38 - 58 https://tinyurl.com/y8p556wg

At this point I got my self to Blood Aqueducts and grabbed levels till I was around 68, and went and grabbed my third ascendancy.

The next portion of the tree was finishing out the right side, grabbing myself Cold-Hearted Calculation, Assassination, Trickery, Soul Siphon, and Coordination. Then we swing back over to the left side and get Primal Manifestation.


Tree level 58 - 77 https://tinyurl.com/yb3863ke

From there, finish out the full tree and when you are strong enough, do your uber lab.

Leveling Items:
I crated a +1 wand for lightning gems and just random drops that helped with dex and gave spell damage.

If this is not you first toon in the league, useful leveling items are


Leveling was super smooth on this toon, hope you enjoy!
