Super Simple Budget Twister Gemling Guide. I will Probably Be Taking this build up to Around a 100-400D Budget and then transitioning to some sort of Arc Build around day 4/5.

The idea for this build is super straightforwards. The Advanced Thaumaturgy Ascendancy gives what is already the best league starter ability Twister some pretty nice buffs to both Whirling Slash and also Barrage as well as twister itself. Twister gains More Proj Speed Which is a premium stat, Whirling Slash gain AS which is a premium stat, and Barrage gains less chance to consume charges which is a giga premium stat.

Twister is incredibly simple. Whirling Slash gains stages each time you use it up to 3 and these stages buff the Twister damage and proj amount and barrage multiplies this up to like 6 Times depending on the number of frenzy charges available.

As a result, with incredibly budget gear and next to no investment, we will have some of the best clear and single target in the game with incredible mobility.

On Top of that Twister is literally the build that speed runners use to clear campaign the fastest. Overall it is the most imbalanced build currently since it has the best early - mid - and late Game of any build on the market,

Build Variants

***WARNING*** Act 1 is THE WORST act for Twister because it's your first time getting use to the playstyle and it gets A TON of Strength in Act 2.
ALSO NEED TO MULE A HUNTRESS FOR EXTRA GEM + SPEAR AND BUCKLET


So Twister gets massive buffs by being on shocked/chilled/ignited ground so we're going to do this at first with Frost Bomb -> Cold Infusion, -> Ice Nova -> Chilled ground -> Twister at the start. You have the option to then use parry -> Fangs of Frost to generate chilled ground at 6 with your first lvl 3 gem. If you hate this play style continue using Frost Bomb + Ice Nova until Act 2 where we can automate this much easier.

Equipment

I didn't really put specific rolls for any of the gear because in early campaign you will just be using what you can grab - CONSTANTLY check shops for upgrades using the regex above

Wep: As many flats as possible %phys + Flat phys > light > cold > fire > SOLO Flat phys

Shield: any Buckler and then swap to sceptre after you stop parrying in act 2

Boots: MS > Life > Res

Amulet: + proj > Life > res

All other Gear: Life > Res

Skill rotation:

2 Whirling Slash into Twister for clearing white and magic packs

3 Whirling Slash into Chilled ground (either Frost Bomb for infusion -> Ice Nova or Parry -> Fangs of Frost) into twister for giga single target

Make sure you bounce your twister off walls to get more procs since they twisters can bounce off walls and hit mobs multiple times
