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

Pohx's Favorite Leveling Spots https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29jfidj6xBk&list=UUgv2_w0HveLN_JgFGTqwmTw 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

You are not using any type of life leech? I see no lgoh/ll gem nor life leech on equip.
Beyond league.
|
|
" 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?
| |
" Acro is more towards end game imo |
