Probably armageddon brand/cremation till you have required uniques then swap to BA.
I did few practice runs, arma brand with cremation is super solid.

Well now when the league is full with uniques yes , but as a league start what is your approach ? There wont be too many uniques to even start the build

He's saying league start as Arma Brand or Cremation until you farm the uniques needed to transition to BA. Both those skills are tried and tested league starter Witch builds that's been played a lot in SSFHC races.

Can you give more detailed info about starting cremations for example? You've stated that it can be used before getting necessary uniques. If u mean berek's respite and xoph bow does it mean build will be easier to play with cremation and switch after gathering them? Or simply level up with cremation till maps for example? How different would be starting skill tree if I wanna lvl up with cremation comparing to budget pob provided by the author? Should I just look on cremations builds nodes and then respec it? Sorry for so many questions but I just wanna a smooth transition and always played builds where I didn't have to respec points. Thank you so much for replies :)

I levelled exactly as the tree and just used brands and mines and had a quite ok experience (since I don't care about deaths on act bosses etc)

I jumped in late in the league and have been playing around with this build and am very surprised in a positive way. I normally play something like a barrage/coc, wander and such builds and this is the first time I play a DoT-build, but what a cool way of doing dmg. Shoot, run around a bit and hear things dying.

At the moment I am level 87, I only have like burning arrow at quality 23 and no other gems higher than quality 0 (still leveling). I only have the golems 5-linked and I haven't got near OPs gear since I have trash quiver, trash gloves, meodicre Watchers eye etc but I have been playing several maps where the map boss is already dead when I start searching for the boss in the boss area.

So far no bigger maps than T9, but with my gear it already feels increadible without >20 qual gems. A breeze mapping without gem swapping etc, so nice to use the same skills for clearance to bossing.

Only downside is that I am still at only 3k life, so anything that ambush me with phys dmg is terrible, so it's really a Glass Cannon feeling overall. But I focused on the dmg nodes overall and have lots of life nodes left up to level 100. Only thing that bothers me is mana pool, since I only have Enlightment level 3 and I have almost no mana at all after popping Anger+Maevolence.

If this build aint getting nerfed for next league, I will for sure hit the same build again (if they don't bring back shotgunning to barrage/coc, lol).

Hey Primat.

I love this build thus far, been trying to push its limits on already leveled elementalist characters, therefor never needed to level them.


I think if you had the time to spend to refine a bit of a leveling setup, what you would think is great to start off with at league start, what placeholders till we get the bow, and when we make the swap from league start to pumping this build?

I think all the other things in first post is crystal clear, its just the leveling part I am stumped about.

Even such a small thing as

Get XYZ

Swap it at lvl XYZ

Swap to bow at XYZ, is also super welcome, again if you can be bothered.

Sincerely,
Q

For League Start, you'd probably be better off just playing something like Dejuvenate's Flameslinger which uses a lot of the same tree and a few comparable items.

This works with very low investment and clears great. I'll use that to farm some currency to make the swap to his build here as smooth as possible.

Exactly! Started this league as Dejuvenate's Flameslinger and later switched to BA. Can recommend this way lvling as league starter.

Whoop, I just tried adding empower to the golems, but it's impossible with the mana multiplier. How do you guys manage the mana issue? I go OOM all the time with only Anger+Maevolence+enlighten level3. I have taken one node so far for less mana cost of skills, but should really need one for mana reduced.
