SorceressThis guide details the setup for cold-based levelling through the campaign. The skill spec can be followed by Monk, Sorceress, and Witch starts, however, the trees may vary slightly.
It is one of the most well-rounded and easy ways to level effectively during the campaign while still maintaining good experience.
The vendor regex used is: "move|skills|gelid|cold".
Damage in Act 1 is the priority over movement speed.
Look for resistances and life on other pieces of gear while levelling. Energy shield bases will generally be preferred.
Valuable weapon modifiers include:
Support Gem Requirements:
Str 5
Dex 0
Int 25
Frost Bomb
Contagion
Shield Charge
Cold Snap
Frostbolt
Gems are listed in order of priority. Only level Contagion when you have totally extra gems. Shield Charge should be a level 3 gem only, otherwise the Strength requirement gets out of hand (you'll probably need to take strength travel nodes after Ogham Farmlands).
Frost Bomb is your primary clearing skill, supplemented by Contagion that should be used before the bomb detonates, allowing spreading chaos damage that helps to both kill stragglers and spread to new packs early on.
Contagion becomes more or less outpaced by the time you finish Executioner fight.
Frostbolt starts to become part of your rotation, both as a single target supplement and to freeze mobs to die to Frost Bomb. Cold Snap is also used to finish off frozen monsters and deal extra boss damage.
Hypothermia is very important for single target bossing.
Press Frost Bomb followed immediately by 
Frost Wall.
The bomb should detonate the walls, exploding the monsters you have cast on top of.
Cast on Freeze automates Cold Snap before 
Comet
Maintain Hypothermia on bosses.
