Incinerate Leveling

If you're looking for a great starter build, Incinerate is one of the strongest and fastest leveling builds and this guide will teach you all you need to know to hit the ground running and do some massive early damage!

Incinerate has access to the strongest aspects in the game such as Flamethrower's Aspect, Aspect of Overheating, Aspect of Engulfing Flames, Aspect of Conflagration that make it an early game powerhouse.

Incinerate is very easy on mana once it gets really going around level 15 or so! Enjoy.

Build Overview

Defenses

• Aspect of Might will proc the Damage Reduction by hitting an enemy with Fire Bolt. This has to happen once every 2 to 10 seconds, depending on how good your Aspect of Might is.
• Aspect of Disobedience gives you armor by attacking enemies with any form of damage or by taking damage from enemies. You'll need to do damage at least once every 4 seconds to maintain the extra Armor it gives you.
• Aspect of the Deflecting Barrier this gives you a chance to gain a Barrier when an enemy attacks you.
• To maintain all of your defenses, you'll need to cast Lunging Strike at least once every 4 seconds.

Offense

• Firestarter Aspect whenever you hit an enemy with Incinerate you Burn them and you gain additional damage.
• Edgemaster's Aspect increases the damage of your next skill cast based on how much Mana you have.
• Aspect of Conflagration when you Channel Incinerate, it does additional damage, and also makes enemies explode causing any enemies hit to Burn which works really well with Firestarter Aspect.
• Aspect of Inner Calm will give you a small increase to your damage at all times, then when you are ready to cast your Incinerate, because you have to stand still to Channel you will gain triple the damage bonus.

Runes

Cem + Ton for some added Meteor

Neo + Ceh gives us Spirit Wolves that apply freeze for Hoarfrost and Vulnerable for 20% damage
