A leveling guide for this build - https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/whirling-slash-twister-blast-through-the-campaign

DO NOT LEVEL UP YOUR Whirling Slash LEAVE IT AT LEVEL 1

PLEASE NOTE THAT Ghost Dance AND Wind Dancer GO ON WEAPON SET 1 AS YOU DONT ATTACK. YOUR Herald of Ice and Herald of Thunder GO IN WEAPON SET 2 SINCE YOU ATTACK WITH THAT.

You can put Ghost Dance and Wind Dancer on weapon set 2 if you have enough spirit!

Whirling Slash Twister is an absolute power house when it comes to mapping. This build is able to clear multiple screens and can 1 shot the boss utilizing its combo.

This build uses the following to make it an absolute monster:

Combat Frenzy allows us to create a large number of frenzy charges to power our skills

Barrage uses those frenzy to charge up our twisters to get a ton of extra damage

Whirling Slash lets us power us our twisters even more and doubles as a movement skill

Sniper's Mark allows us to mark big enemies for HUGE DAMAGE

and finally Twister. Once we use our Frenzy charges + Barrage and move to the boss using Whirling Slash we are able to unload a HUGE AMOUNT OF Twister devastating everything in our wake.

This build will be utilizing both Energy Shield and Evasion and when invested into should give us a very comfy defensive layer.

Note that we can do the following change to our glove slot:

We can use Sine Aequo for our gloves as they make immobilize 50% versus 100% these gloves are an ABSOLUTE POWER HOUSE AND WAY BETTER THEN I EXPECTED HOLY CRAP! Everything is always just insta frozen and its great.

We also get to utilize leech in our build thanks to Essentia Sanguis and help us sustain in harsher environments. <- These gloves might be on the more difficult side to obtain hence why I didnt talk about them too much in the video since it was designed more about league start

If you cant afford either of these gloves you can pick up Hand of Wisdom and Action. These are still extremely solid budget gloves and give you a ton of attack speed and movement speed!

****HOW TO LEVEL THIS BUILD******

At level one grab a Spear from the gambling vendor or the one of the other vendor! When you can make the weapon rare! Note you will need to upgrade your spear a few times in the campaign so that damage doesnt fall off!

You are going to want to grab the following skills Whirling Slash Twister.

As you progress through Act 1 and level up you will eventually start to find some currency. When you do save it and try to buyWake of Destruction as fast as possible once your do youare good to go! From here just Whirling Slash and Twister when you have 3 Salvo charges and watch the magic happen!
