Eckalina | SC | FARMBUILD [Amazing dps and IQ/IR] | Dual Spark | Low Life Mode - RF |

Would anybody have recommendations on the best approach to gain levels fast after normal difficulty?

Should I just tag along groups that grind the ledge, fellshrine, and the docks? I just have the feeling that I'm stealing their xp since I'm not contributing a lot.

I've all the passive nodes in the recommended level 31 grind setup. Using dual spork + 3xbear traps but my dps is not really high at the moment (I do understand that this was in the disclaimer:)) but maybe people can give me a few tips on how to be more effective (maybe cheap uniques recommendations for example to use before I actually start magic find runs), which nodes I should be prioritizing when leveling towards the final build, etc...

Many thanks!

Very Noob Question probably but here goes,

In the guide i did not notice righteous fire but while reading the thread i keep seeing post OP combo of RF + PA, ETC...what is RF + PA. I mean the actual gems so that i may look this up.

I am currenlty leveling merciless Ledge at level 55 and im having no issues at all. My gear isnt optimized yet since im still leveling but i pretty much drop 2 totems, let 3 zombies tank, resummon them as needed and let the sparks kill everything.

Single target at my level with my crappy gear can take a bit of time since my totems tend to get killed quickly but i constantly resummon them separate from each other to force the mob to move in order to destroy the new totem.

Also like Ecka stated Act 2 can suck leveling if you are using haste aura to have low life since the chaos dmg just one shots you through ES. My fix is i just dont use the haste aura for areas with chaos dmg mobs and i move alot when i am fighting chaos dmg mobs.

At level 55 the biggest prblem i have come across with this build is having such high IIR (300+) i find myself losing leveling time because i have to port back to town so frequently to empty bags of all the rares that i find.

Thx Ecka for the great Idea and i'll be working this guy as ffar as i can take it!!

@mordrak

I suggest you to rush The merciless docks
Use party and grind on ledge fellshrine docks
Don't focus on iq/ir at levelling anyway it's useless

@grangrenous
YOu will have less trouble with tough mob when you will reach more dps (Levelling is different for many ppl cause only 1 piece of stuff can help you
I suggest you to not use low life until docks farming
Haha dont worry about levelling anyway stuff you drop will give you the stuff to climb more and more content


SOrry for fast answer guys but many many work on update (Tomorrow if i can)
I hope people will help you more than i do now :)

Ecka, is there any "safe" path I can follow for now that isn't undergoing massive changes later on?
Sorry for the impatience but I really wanna level this. I'm cool with keeping her at a safe level until the build is finished, or simply using a few respec points if the changes aren't that drastic. I just wanna start :P

Start and don't worry by the end of merc you will have around 15 respect points to play with in case build change.

icespear freezing/chilling doesnt work when i have the passive for extra totems, its that correct?

Thanks for this thread Ecka, you inspired me to try this build out. I'm doing righteous fire version and just hit 62, i can keep RF up and im clearing docks in about 40ish seconds, tons of fun atm.


My current build





My current gear (reduced mana gets moved around for auras,fire pots to heal up if i get smacked)

UPDATE DONE

Perma RF is done
Many tips and tricks to master him
Please guys read the entire Post on first page (All section have been improved)
Read the more you can and i hope you enjoy the New way of the build

The new update Will allow you to reach and rollface endgame map easy :)

The next big update (A week i think)
Will introduce Movie and Gear i wear

this is awesome. I am making a build sort of similar using only elemental damage, spell damage, and lots of cast speed nodes so I can use any spell in my totems. I currently like spork (for shocks via static blows) and GMP ice spear (for aoe freeze via elemental proliferation). I also use fire traps and remote mines to supplement my totems. Elemental Equilibrium + elemental weakness and I'm looking at -5% resist to -80% resist. I can only imagine what pain attunement and righteous fire will do to it.

Good to see a like minded build and at same time disappointed I didn't get to flesh it out first =P.

I went straight for dual totems by lvl 31. Glad I did, it made it easier to get used to working dual totems. Most people should have decent gear to carry any character upto middle/late cruel. By then you should be able to add more offense or defense as you need it (provided SC toon)
