Build Overview

This is my Fast Leveling Build Guide for Alts / Twinks Characters

With it you can complete campaign in under 4 hours (I finished 3h 54m on the test run)

This guide can be used to fast level and speed run campaign on almost all classes around right side of the tree and it covers both, build progression during the leveling and all items swaps that we will need.

In this guide I'm also NOT USING Parry animation bug, so it is much more relaxed compared to other options and less chances for it to get patched.

Use Build Variants down there to check tree for every class and lvl variants for item swaps.

Check video for more information + gameplay / tips ------------------------>

Make sure you are using only LESSER Runes to avoid rising level requirement of items.

For starting items Splinter of Loratta is providing huge dps, if you can get the corrupted version for Lightning damage it will be even better.

Use Blackheart x2 to have even more damage early on.

Meginord's Girdle will be our main belt during the whole campaign, get a corrupted version with more resistances.

Tabula Rasa can be VERY Expensive but decent option to make the run even faster.

Level 5:

Wings of Caelyn should be repicked to Greymake at level 5.

Level 11:

Luminous Pace are temporary and will be repicked at lvl 11 to Wanderlust

You will need to prepare Low level gems with sockets before starting the run. Aim for at least 4 supports for Lightning Spear and Storm Lance.

1. Use Twister ONLY Before level 6, replace if right after getting Lightning Spear

2. Add the rest of the skills as soon as they are available.

3. Shield Charge is used from the weapon swap, so set it to the Set 2.

4. Combat Frenzy + Herald of Thunder with Electrocute is going to provide charges to boost dps.

5. Single target rotation:

Sniper's Mark ---> Barrage ---> Storm Lance ---> Repeat

6. Tame Beast is just there to provide single target dps + Haste aura. To get a good beast go for the Infested Barrens camp and respawn at the checkpoint until you will find desired one. More info about that is in the video - https://youtu.be/d0HR7TgrpCk

Beast can be used only from lvl 31 at the minimum.

If you feel like dps from Lightning Spear is not high enough, swap Lightning Infusion or Primal Armament from Storm Lance and swap it back at bosses.

7. The rest of the skills are very simple, use Lightning Spear while running to clear the screen + use Shield Charge when there is a zone without enemies to move faster trough it.

8. You can also cancel Shield Charge animation to make it slightly faster if you time dodge roll exactly at the end of the movement.

9. I'm not using Leap Slam but you can add it to the build if you feel like it, just use any Mace available.
