Hi, I just wanna try that build out. Isnt there a leaguestart leveling tree?

There is, and it's a decent one. No cluster jewels, no expensive items etc.

If you can't find it in 1st post, look at my posts 1-2 pages back. I answered the same question to another user.

For what is worth, this build is an amazing league starter with the potential to scale big.

Cant really find the the tree. Im just leveling it and wanna how what tree i should follow when doing it as league starter in 3.14

Here's Cryo's post from a few pages back - https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3009295/page/139#p23940344

Having messed around with it, it's very forgiving. So much of the damage isn't coming from the tree, and so much to spare while leveling, you can easily run it 10 or 20 different ways without much issue to match your gearing/playstyle/intended final tree.

Someone just linked it again literally 5 posts before yours.

Anyway, here we go: https://pastebin.com/9sGnqAMf

This is the original PoB pre-cluster jewels made by Dejuvenate. I haven't touched it at all.

There's a "notes" tab providing some overview to levelling and it lists all necessary uniques to unlock its potential.

It's not ideal, especially since we spend 4 points on 60 STR/DEX. Can be optimized, but for someone starting new should do the trick.

So I have about 15ex to play with.. what should I be prioritizing to make my build a bit stronger?

There are tons you can upgrade.

Get yourself an Archdemon Crown with "Skills Supported by Spellslinger have 15% reduced Mana Reservation". Craft with life essence until you get something nice.
Goes usually for 2-4ex the base (ideally, snipe one with warlord influence)

This should allow you to socket lvl 21 Malevolance. That's huge.

Buy a pair of gloves with elevated fire dot multi (~20% fire dot multi).

I'd recommend going for an armor with +4 to FW. I paid like 16 ex for this one, a while ago. It's huge dps boost


You can even drop Pyre and go for a nice ring with curse on hit. E.g.


Bonus: buy yourself a wand fractured +1 to all and spam scorched fossile to get +1 fire. Here's a search. Used to be like 10ex, but dead league now.

So I got the new Archdemon Crown as well as a 15% reduced mana reserved spirit shield and am still unable to activate Malevolence.

I also got a rare ring in place of Pyre, still have about 10ex to work with.

cry0, i followed your advices and changed my passive to cake's. idk how but i can finally beat minotaur. let me ask this, is malachai's ring needed on cake's pob? or -mana resist rings enough?

Ah, I didn't look at the tree.
You need the 3 passives around Sovereignty that give reduced mana reserve.
Best is to use a Thread of Hope if you can afford -10 all rez.
Let me know how it goes.

P.S. I don't see your abyss jewel in belt. Make sure it's with adds # to # chaos/lightning damage to minion hits thingy

The thing with Malachi is that it gives EE. That's HUGE for signle target. Try it out in PoB. As I mentioned before, for me it's over 2M DPS....

If you feel like your clear is great, you can socket another ring and just keep Malachai for bosses, but it messes up with resistance and stuff.

I recommend keeping Malachai until you have too much currency and have no idea what else to improve on.

I did not play for last few weeks for the league is ending and i needed break.
This is the latest pastebin, and final too for i gave all my currency away to newbies that play flameslinger (around 100ex raw and 100ex in gear) which was totally worth it for they did not fall in love with just the build but the game too. So i got 0chaos and 0exalts now :D


Sure, i could spend it for some little upgrade instead of giving it away like getting same helm but with x damage taken as y damage or reroll my tier 2 chaos resists to tier 1 and risk getting scammed on tft.

But when nothing in this game kills me unless i let it and my chaos resist is maxed anyway(the last bit needed is from glory jewel which is not visible in pob) i just could not see the point.

So thanks to OP for showing me that kb and flamewall works together (i played selfsact flamewall before this build lol, it sucked in comparison, maybe i should read tooltips next time around)


Now I'm thinking about what to play in next leagues, for i just do not play same build twice in row. Likely minion build for without strong version of harvest it will be cheap to gear in comparison to other stuff.

My big worry is, that nothing may clear as fast as this while being good and tanky boss killer. I mean sure, self-poison blade vortex clears map in second but boss can take you hour and half and it is not league starter by any means...

So far it looks like this to me
Witch>explosive trap>respec to minions according to patch notes at 90level.
Sure, you could just e-trap from 0 to 100 but i do not like traps(but i love traps wink wink)

could anyone explain a noob why we go for shaper of storms instead shaper of flames?
