The main focus of this Gorilla Spiritborn Levelling Build is to scale your Thorns Damage where boosting your weapon will drastically increases the damage output of the build Whilst Levelling. The rest of the gear can be whatever you find and it is highly recommended to equip Defensive Aspects to help trivialise the Levelling Process.
If you're lucky enough to come across a Sepazontec whilst levelling this will allow you to annihilate the game all the way until Level 70. It makes Every Attack count as a 3rd Attack and on your 3rd Attack you hit 3 Times instead. It also grants a quite phenomenal amount of damage.
The following steps are the recommended Build Rotation for skill usage:
Rushing Claw to move around faster. (30 - 70 variant only)Ravager.Armored Hide for Additional Block Chance and become Unstoppable.Toxic Skin for Big Armour and apply Weakness to Enemies.The ProtectorRock Splitter liberally around the other skills.Repeat each step as necessary

Aim for 100% Attack Speed on Equipment, Aspects, Paragon, Mercenaries and Elixirs.
You can only attain Attack Speed in Attack Speed Bucket 2 via Cast Speed or 
Protean Heart if using a Jaguar Skill right now so we prioritise Ferocity since we are using a Gorilla Skill.
We achieve this by stacking Ferocity through the use of the Jaguar Secondary Spirit Hall.
To achieve Perma-Evade with Rushing Claw you will first need to get to Level 38+ where you unlock the Evasive Swipe Rushing Claw variant.
After this you will need to have the 
Charge Refund Rushing Claw upgrade turned on which allows you to refresh your Rushing Claw Charges when so long as you have at least 4x Ferocity on consuming the last charge.
To achieve 4x Ferocity Pemanently you will need to have Ravager on your hotbar with at minimum 20x Ranks to bring it up to 3x Minimum Ferocity.
To bump this up to 4x Minimum Ferocity you will want the 
Ferocity Minimum Ravager which will leave you with permanent Rushing Claw.
