Build Overview

Lazy Exile Hollow Palm Alt Leveling Guide for Sorcerer

0.4 Change

Alt Leveling setup is buffed with the Hollow Palm changes
Oisín's Oath added (making mana much more managable)

Summary

This build is all about speed alt leveling your 2ND character, which you should have access to:

Tier 5 Support Gems
Greater Jeweller's Orbs
Currency to invest in Unique and Rare items

Preparation beforehand will yield the best results, remember, you only need to set this up once then use it for all other class that you want to level.

This setup is CLASS AGNOSTIC. We'll stack + skill levels, scales that with the physical damage from Hollow Palm, and this allow us to scale our damage throughout the campaign, from the moment you pick up Hollow Palm Technique, until the end of Interlude.

About the Sorcerer Variant

Being near Hollow Palm Technique make this one of the premium class to benefits from this leveling setup. You can swap as early as Act 1, and enjoy a smooth power curve until the Interlude. The Chronomancer ascendancy have the Temporal Rift ability which is quite useful for surviving and sustaining fight, or you can do Strike Twice with Stormweaver for some extra damage.

Ascending is optional and you should not need to ascend at all when running this.

Disclaimer

This build is not intended for endgame content and is meant to take you through the campaign from level 1 to 65 only. This build uses a specific tree and will require you to respec later on to your build.
You'll also need some currency to get started because there are some required unique items in this build, and if you don't have it, expect the player's power to drop drastically.
Toward the end of the campaign, this build will be squishy, but you can very easily replace Foxshade / Tabula Rasa and Meginord's Girdle with rare ES/Evasion Body Armour and rare Belt with resistances to make your character tankier

Strengths and Weaknesses

Simple and effective setup from level 1 - 65
Minimum gear swap
Reusable across multiple class
Hollow Palm damage doesn't fall off

Need respec after campaign
