Build Overview

This leveling is going to be extremely similar to fubgun's, however I plan on playing HC so as such I will be taking a different passive tree approach to accommodate for that and a couple gem changes due to preference.

ENDED UP PLAYING SC AS ACT 4 FELT UNBALANCED AND HARD TO DO BLIND, but this setup still worked well for campaign.

regex:

Strengths and Weaknesses

High damage with proper setup
High movement speed after lab
Strongest starter ascendancy in the game

Squishy early
Lightning rod can be annoying to play with

In act one you REALLY want to look for items with FLAT damage to attacks. This mod exists on:

Also MOVEMENT SPEED BOOTS very required.

Check vendors everytime you enter town, vendor items for gold so you can buy the items listed above.

Save socketed items and quality items to use with the SALVAGE BENCH.

Gem Priority

HEAVILY SUGGESTING killing optional bosses for gems/support gems. So do Devourer/Grim tangle boss.

Make sure to remove Chain when clearing normally as it significantly hurts your damage, it is only used for procing Lightning Rod on single target.

Chain gets put on Lightning Arrow on single target, early on it will replace Lightning Infusion which will go on your Lightning Rod for single target only.

Contagion gets dropped after cemetery as it no longer deals damage.

Frost Bomb is for the additional exposure on single target.
