───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Welcome to the most comprehensive and detailed guide for Plants.

Although this guide will be focusing on the Oracle, you could use this guide as a Lich, Gemling Legionnaire or anything else you might want to try.

Plant Daddy is an incredibly fun and busted build that is extremely viable in the Endgame. And this guide will help you level up as smoothly as possible.

The whole build will stay true to the Plants Vibe with skills like Entangle, Thrashing Vines, Thunderstorm and a few others, while also adding Blasphemy, Ravenous Swarm and Bonestorm where needed to help us out.

In the Endgame, this build can be combined with things like Cast on Critical with Comet, Living Bomb, Bone Cage, Thunderstorm and many other alternatives that make it an incredible endgame build.

Within this guide you will find details and instructions aswell as explanations for a ton of things including Skills Gems, Support Gems, Passive Tree Priority, Items and many more.

Each ACT will be written in detail below with specific levels and priorities so you can have a smoother time.

Build Variants

Entering ACT 1:

At the beginning of our leveling, we will grab and utilize a few abilities and nodes that will later change. This is to boost our damage and survivability further and have a smoother ACT 1 experience.

───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

ACT1 TLDR TO-DO LIST:

  1. Use Volcano and Lightning Bolt to defeat Miller.
  2. Equip the free Talisman on your Weapon Set 2.
  3. Cut Entangle with the first Skill Gem from Renly. (Prio this for leveling)
  4. Cut Contagion with the Skill Gem you find in the Clearfell Camp.
  5. Check the Vendor each time you level for better Gear and Weapons.
  6. When you get a LVL 3 Gem cut Pounce for mobility.
  7. When you get a LVL 4 Spirit Gem cut Ravenous Swarm and get Corrosion ASAP.
  8. When you get a LVL 5 Gem cut Bonestorm for insane Boss damage.
  9. Get Wasting Casts at level 14 for the Geonor Fight. (not mandatory but good)

───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

ACT 1 PLAYSTYLE:

Use Entangle + Contagion to AOE your way through the zones.
When you encounter Rares, channel up and use Volcano in combination with Entangle.

Use Pounce to move around quicker and get Ravenous Swarm with Corrosion on it to deal even more damage to packs, rares and bosses. This Aura is better and more consistent than Withering Presence.

Its definitely NOT mandatory to push for getting LEVEL 14 in ACT 1 for the Geonor fight, especially if you are experienced, but, I would definitely recommend it as you will get Wasting Casts and Bonestorm at exactly level 14, which will literally melt Count Geonor.

───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

-Make sure you copy the Quotations too-

Make sure that you always check vendors between your levels, using the REGEX above and especially when you hit level 10 as the items will be a higher tier.

───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

⭐Early Leveling Gear:

Ideally going for Armour based gear would be the safest and easiest option before we start transitioning to Armour/Energy Shield or pure Energy Shield.

On the Body Armour, Helmet, Gloves, Boots, Belt, you want to focus on:

  • Armour or Armour/ES base
  • Max Life
  • Resistances

On the Amulet & Rings, you want to focus on:

  • + Level of Spells
  • Spell Damage
  • Spirit
  • Cast Speed
  • Resistances
  • Max life

───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

⭐Early Leveling Weapons:

It's important to keep looking out for a good Wand. A good base is the Bone Wand. The weapon will help you clear the campaign and bosses much quicker. The mods you should focus on are:

  • + to level of all Physical Spell Skills / + to level of all Spell Skills
  • Spell Physical Damage
  • Spell Damage
  • Cast speed

A FOCUS will be the offensive approach, but if you cant find anything good and you lack Defense then you can go for a Scepter. On the Focus you're priority should be:

  • + Level of all Spell Skills
  • Spell Physical Damage
  • Spell Damage
  • Cast Speed
  • Max Life
  • Max Mana

Make sure you equip a Changeling Talisman on weapon set 2, so you can use Pounce for mobility.

Gem Priority

The order above is the actual Gem Priority that you cut for both the Skill and Support Gems.

Initially you will get a Voltaic Staff and Volcano just before you fight the Miller Boss. You will also find a Changeling Talisman, equip this on your Wep Set 2 for Pounce later on.

Volcano is a CHANNELING ability, therefore the longer you hold before placing the more damage it will deal. We will be use it for extra damage on the bosses.

Once you get the Skill Gem from Renly, you wanna cut Entangle, which will be your main clearing ability. We wanna go for Rapid Casting I and Controlled Destruction for the first two Support Gems on Entangle. Within ACT 1 we dont necessarily care about Crits, which is why we went for Controlled Destruction.
Brutality I is also a good option instead of Controlled Destruction, however it limits our Entangle damage to only Physical AND it drains the mana pretty quickly.

Entangle is going to be your Number #1 priority to level up.

Within Clearfell you should be able to find the Camp that will give you another Skill Gem, with that one, cut Contagion to help us spread the damage and make it even easier.

With your 3rd and 4th Support gems you wanna cut Burgeon I and Prolonged Duration I on Volcano

Pounce is added for the extra mobility, as wolf is faster when walking that the Human Form. Just spam the Dodge Roll with the Wolf and use Pounce to cover longer distances.
YOU NEED AN EQUIPPED TALISMAN ON WEAPON SET 2.

You will eventually fight FREYTHORN who will give you your first Level 4 Spirit Gem. You have 2 good options here.
1) Ravenous Swarm: IF you add Corrosion this is the better option because you will poison and break the bosses armour helping you with boss damage.
2) Withering Presence: This is not bad as it applies a debuff that makes the bosses take more Chaos Damage and it stacks. Based on the calculations you should have around 7 stacks x 5% after 17 seconds. It's not bad, but Ravenous Swarm with Corrosion is more consistent.

Once you hit Level 14 & you have an Uncut Skill Gem Level 5, you will be able to cut Bonestorm and Thunderstorm, both of which we need! So if you get 2x T5 Skill Gems even better.

When you get Bonestorm you want to support it with the Burgeon I we already have on Volcano
When you get Thunderstorm you want to support it with the Prolonged Duration I we already have on Volcano.

If you only get 1 choice before Count Geonor, prioritize Bonestorm and fully charge it on the boss to deal insane damage.

Both of these abilities are great (but not mandatory) for your fight with Count Geonor.

Please follow the Notable Priorities that you see above.

For ACT 1 our priority will be to go for Wasting Casts or as many nodes within that cluster.

The entire tree above include the node Wasting Casts can be obtained at exactly Level 14.
