THIS IS MEANT FOR LEAGUE START SO REALISTICALLY YOU SHOULDNT BE HYPER-FOCUSED ON YOUR GEAR DURING THE CAMPAIGN.

With That Being Said, There are a few priority slots that if you want to buy items for Ive Included trade links and information for below. YOU NEED TO SET THE LEVEL REQUIREMENTS YOURSELF, BUT EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT THE FILTER CAN STAY THE SAME THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE CAMPAIGN.

Talisman - Prio Stats: Level Of Melee Skills, %Increased Physical, Flat Damage (Phys/Lightning Preferred) - Sort By Total DPS And The Sum Number At The Bottom Middle (You Want The Combined Best Total Between Both Of Those)

Ring - Prio Stats: Flat Damage (Lightning/Cold/Fire Preferred), Resistances, Life - Sort By Sum

Amulet - Prio Stats: Level of Melee Skills (Not Practical Early Game Or For Cheap Right Now), Resistances, Life, Energy Shield, Armour - Sort By Sum

Gloves - Prio Stats: Level Of Melee Skills, Flat Damage, Attack Speed, Resistances, Life - Sort By Sum

Boots - Prio Stats: Movement Speed, Resistances, Life

Jewel - This is just a preliminary catch all jewel link (Not many jewels on the market yet but this can help you find some okay ones for cheap while leveling or even into early endgame) - Sort By Sum

FOR ALL YOUR ARMOUR PIECES YOU IDEALLY WANT ENERGY SHIELD/ARMOUR BASETYPES OR JUST ENERGY SHIELD OR JUST ARMOUR.

Priority Stats For Most Other Pieces: Resistances, Life, Energy Shield, Armour

THE YOUTUBE VIDEO GUIDE HAS GAMEPLAY/EXPLANATIONS FOR THE ROTATION

THIS LEVELING GUIDE IS INTENDED FOR A LEAGUE-START POSITION. (Its very likely that there will be more optimized leveling builds 1 week from today 25-12-12)

Level 1-15
AOE/Clearing Packs: While moving from zone to zone a majority of your clear will be coming strictly from Entangle + Volcano (this works well because you can stay on the move the whole time and never have to stop to fight).
- For Rares/Bigger Packs you can do the same combo and then move in to use Maul followed up by Furious Slam.

Bosses: Before the boss spawns you want to precast Entangle a few times + Volcano. As the boss becomes attackable you should use Maul 3 times which will generate 24 rage thanks to Rage I support, follow that up with 2 Shockwave Totems and then drop the nuke with 2 Furious Slams. The key here to your damage is that Furious Slam creates Jagged Ground and when Shockwave Totem's pulses hit jagged ground it causes additional explosions that do BIG DAMAGE.

Movement: Use Pounce To get around much quicker.

Level 15 Until Wolf Swap - Swap out Maul for Fury of the Mountain

AOE/Clearing Packs: As soon as you get access to Fury of the Mountain and Urgent Totems I support for shockwave totem your clear speed gets A LOT better. Once you have both of those, you should be aiming to group up big packs of mobs throw out 2-3 Fury of the Mountain's followed by 1-2 Shockwave Totems (These come out at lightspeed with the Urgent Totems I support) and then follow that all up with a Furious Slam and everything dies.
- For Rares/Magic Packs you can do the same exact thing but you might need to Furious Slam twice.

Bosses: Before The Boss Spawns Drop a Volcano and a bunch of Fury of the Mountains. As soon as the boss is attackable use 1-2 more Fury of the Mountains followed by Ferocious Roar + 2 Shockwave Totems and then Furious Slam until you are out of rage. Then you basically just repeat this cycle until the boss is dead. Shockwave Totem will trigger the fissures from Fury of the Mountain giving you continuous rage generation alongside Ferocious Roar also giving rage to supply your Furious Slams almost infinitely. Additionally, Ferocious Roar will allow you to break the targets armor causing them to take 20% increased physical damage (basically just like shock but for physical damage). OPTIONAL: You can also use Thunderstorm before the boss spawns to apply shock if you want and cycle that in the rotation for even more damage but its certainly not necessary and the rotation starts to get a bit crazy at that point.

The Wolf Swap And Current Setup Have More Detailed Passive Trees.

Shaman Ascendancy is the simpler of the two options for a league start angle IMO. For that we took Turning of the Seasons 1st and Reactive Growth 2nd followed by Avatar of Evolution 3rd when you do eventually get it.
