Please remember as a reminder that I'm doing my best to update the Guide. However, I'm testing new builds/skills/gems/gear DAILY and it's an extreme hassle to update information every few hours. To minimize this i'm resorting to updating every 1-2 Days

How to Use Vaal Cyclone ( In Testing )

http://www.twitch.tv/pohx/c/3992962

The above video shows how insane the potential of the skill is.

Vaal Cyclone vs Spectral Throw ( This is what you'll be swapping for it )

Pros
-Insane Clear Speed
-You can tank for your group by pulling mobs towards you
-Only requires 64 Souls so it's really not hard to obtain

Cons
-EXTREMELY Dangerous if used incorrectly, ex Soul conduit / Volatile Mob Types
-Requires gear to actually sustain the damage
-You will need a high level reduced mana to support the Links


Vaal Cyclone Links

-Life Gain on Hit
-Blind
-Increased Duration

My cyclone costs 67/69 Mana so I'm really limited on what i'm able to use with it W/o blood magic






Gear + Stats lvl 89





DPS As of Level 89 With Hatred + Frenzy charges


Level 89 Defensive Stats Tab ( Grace + Determ )

Pohx's Favorite Leveling Spots

If you're new to the game and don't have anything to start off with, simply follow these steps and you'll level up in no time.

1. Create a scion/buy spectral throw and mule it over to your ranger
2. Create your ranger and obtain the spectral throw, start using a corroded blade and level up, go ahead and grab double strike as your quest reward as your single target
3. You'll to buy 2 added fire gems or create a marauder for your Spectral throw & Double Stike For leveling purposes do not overlink your gear or you will run out of mana, MAKE SURE you're running "MANA FLASKS"
*** For a Weapon upgrade you can simple do the Whetstone + Rustic sash recipe, google can assist you in this process

4. Links
Double - Added Fire - Melee Phys - Faster Attacks
Spectral - Added Fire - Phys Projectile Damage - LMP
Leap Slam, Faster Attacks
( This is the bare minimum, you do not need anything more then what is listed here, in fact you don't even need what's listed here. )

5. WHY DOES MY MANA SUCK POHX?
#1 Don't Over link your gear
#2 Run Saturated Mana Potions
#3 Don't use a Tabula rasa
#4 Feel free to get Mana gained on Kill Gear
#5 Don't afraid to spec into mana nodes early game
#6 I have never used clarity for leveling, don't ask me about it

6. What auras do I run?
Feel free to run hatred, nothing else is really required early game, this will get you a huge damage boost for your leveling

7. My Personal Favorite Leveling Zones
IMPORTANT:
I Do Not Level In Zones Till a Certain Level, I level up until I hit Gear requirements & Cap my resists, there is no supposed " Set level of a zone " Leave when you feel you're comfortable


Act 1 Ledge & Climb
Act 2 Western Forest, Caverns & Chamber of Sins 2
Act 3 City of Sarn, Lunaris Temple 3

Nope, lgoh is on weapon swap for leveling and is swapped out for added fire if needed, also using 2% leech ( BLood Drinker ) from Mara tree
New Youtube Video Explaining the build coming up shortly!
Ey phox, how do you feel about getting Acrobatics with this build (or a very close to this one)?? A good idea or the 4 points needed are not worth it?
