Build Overview

The Gorilla Spiritborn Leveling Build makes one with the monkey, as you fly around smashing enemies with Rock Splitter proccing your Thorns damage on hit. You have incredible mobility, toughness and damage with this build and will cruise to level 70 with no issues. No Legendary Aspects are required to make this function well, making it a great starter build.

Make sure to equip a pet in your wardrobe to help pick up gold and items. Don't forget to hire a Mercenary in "The Den" as soon as possible to start leveling them up and get their benefits.

The most important to upgrade along the way is your weapon by far. Constantly equip weapon upgrades and consider tossing a cheap Tempering on them to increase your damage.

It's unlikely to come across many of these Legendary Aspects while Leveling up. Luckily you don't need any of them to level with ease. Use whatever you have that helps in anyway and look out for the ones listed in the planner. Always put the strongest Aspect you find on your Amulet or Weapon for the boost to it's power.

Most of your items along the way aren't going to have 4 stats on them and It's usually more important to equip upgrades as opposed to chasing the suggested bonuses. To put it simply you want to be looking out for:

Offensive

  • Dexterity
  • Damage (or Vulnerable Damage)
  • Critical Hit Chance
  • Critical Hit Damage
  • Attack Speed

Defensive

  • Life
  • Life on Hit
  • Life on Kill
  • Thorns
  • Armor
  • Resistances
  • Movement Speed

Tempering

In general you can Temper decent items for cheap early on and can put Damage, Thorns or Toughness options. Keep in mind It's common to replace items often while leveling up, so it may be wise to hold off on Tempering all together until you're around level 50+ to save time spent in town as well as materials.

Mercenaries

Subo is hard to beat since he gives you a Map Hack, Movement Speed and Vulnerability.

Aldkin is your Reinforcement because Fields of Languish gives you 20% Damage Reduction when standing in the purple cloud it creates. You have to level with him a bit to unlock this skill - until then use Haunt.

Frequently Asked Questions

You're stacking Resolve stacks, Thorns and Ferocity to become a rapidly punching, high toughness killing machine. There are several Aspects you can find to boost your Toughness and Damage tremendously so be on the look out for the ones in the planner above.
