any leveling tips/gems combo to use until we reach lvl 28 for Vortex?


Read the post above yours. Wrecker just answered that question.
This will be my league starter today.
Excited for this, as I don't have to chase build specific uniques.
Thanks for the build!
I'm going to league start this build, my only question is when do I decide to go CI. I've never used it before and am a bit nervous to utilize it. Although, this guide is in-depth, how should I go about dealing with that?
The loot filters are done! Here's the copy and paste I put in the guide:

- Here are my customized loot filters for all platforms. They will make looting a lot more relaxing for those that play my builds. Just click the "Follow" button next to the filter(s) you want (make sure you choose the correct platform). The filters will automatically be added to your game! They auto-update with any changes I make too! Whaaaaat!?!?! I know right?!

Hey trifrost!

Getting to level 28 is really easy. Especially for a spell caster. I love Frostbolt. It "pierces", chills, and deals good damage. You get it early too.

Add whatever you like to it, but you'll find you'll blink twice and already have Vortex :).

Hey DotDash!

Thanks! I hope you like it! I too like a real dungeon-crawling experience where you just use what drops.

Let us know how it goes and thanks for the thanks!

Good question Jakkt!

I go CI right away. Well, I don't skip it. I take all the nodes as they come without skipping any, but I get it really early. Wicked Ward (on the tree) is a HUGE help. Many will tell you the opposite, but if you haven't done CI before, the sooner you get used to it (levelling) the better. That's my opinion anyway.

Does that help?

Quick question: do you start out ES and don't convert later? Most ES/CI builds start out life/hybrid then convert to ES/CI later. Just wondering if you straight up go ES or respec and don't show it.

Hey JMockz!

Good question. I actually go CI quickly. I don't like respec'ing as part of a levelling strategy. I take all the tree nodes as they come but I turn east instead of west when I level. So I have CI really early. I loved it. It's not for everyone though. Do what you're comfortable with. Plus, it's only one respec point if you find you don't like it early on.

Cheers, Wrecker_of_Days!

This is sort of a double post from your old thread for this build so don't bother answering to both! ;)

Anyway, thank you once again for your lovely and detailed reply! Also thanks for having a look at my items and stuff. Your advice was really helpful aswell! I'm a bit busy at the moment which is why I only managed to answer you know.

So as you recommended I refunded the Ghost Reaver node and since I did that it seems to be going more smoothly. My ES recharge rate is at 3415.2 now so twice the amount of what it was before. It should be sufficient. As I said, it seems to be going more smoothly now that I've refunded GR.

I also got rid of the Spell Echo support gem and swapped it with Increased AoE Support. Or do you have any other suggestions instead? I need to check the build again.

Also, moving around while spamming Vortex sounds good. I try to apply what I call my "shark technique": circle the (groups of) enemies and surround them with Vortexes. I used to flame dash into larger groups of enemies and set off Vortex amidst them but that seemed to get my witch killed way too easily. I now prefer the shark technique.

So yeah, your input definitely helped a lot! I would love to further expand my test stage on more advanced maps but now with the CotA-update Zana and the map device are gone and I got a "Pickinf up the Pieces" quest from that dude Kirac and I have no clue what to do next / where to go / how to get to the "Fallen Courts". That's just a tiny bit frustrating. But I didn't have the time to look it up yet so I will do that right after I posted. Also how am I supposed to purchase the Vorici decoration I've been longing to get now that Zana is gone? Such a bummer! xD

Anway, cheers a lot, mate! I will have a look at the newest version of this build and see what I am going to try next for metamorph challenge league. I hope you're having a good time! Take care! ^^
