As soon as you can?

I've been working on a Voltaxic character in the one month and started using LA as soon as I got it, although I had a Tabula from another character, so that helped with damage (mana/life management was a pain for a while, though).

I hit a wall with leveling while in the 40s or so. I think the op said he used Storm Cloud into Merciless, but the damage on that begins to really suck far before Merciless. Switch to a rare elemental bow when that happens. Then Voltaxic at level 64 and all is good in the world... Except if it's your only character you won't have the currency to buy Voltaxic for quite a while, so I guess you have to grab a cheap rare bow and hope for the best.

Kk
Well ill be playing day1 of the five week. I doubt ill have currency for a Voltaxic on 64 or have found one (64 will be like late day1, early day2 iirc). Probably also quite limited amount on market first days :p
I hope to have one around lvl80.

It can be done with Storm Cloud, I actually farmed Dried Lake on Tabula and Storm Cloud this 1MSC while getting currency for Voltaxic. You have to skip some packs tough (no Necros, tanky packs, etc). Still would recommend trying to level in a group as much as possible. We bought a Doomfletch very early into the League and that + Aurabot = fast Merciless.

I've compared DPS from Stormcloud with bow 225 eDPS and 1.55 aps and stormcloud was better (in my setup, cause high APS). BUT, you need gear with good flat elemental damage for use that bow. And maybe Added Lightning Gem in tabula.

also u can try to use Wake of Destruction boots ;)

Alberon's Warpath will be better choice due to 20% movespeed and extra str (HP).

There is no knowledge
That is not power
Chance to flee and life on kill are not to be neglected while leveling.
Chaos damage will scale less than ele damage. It's marginal though.
The Increased str will account for 20 flat life point at most.

I'd say it's a tie between these two pair of boots. Move speed is the main pro for Alberon (and it's a major one).

Single target DPS with Frenzy is a bit disappointing atm (5L: Frenzy + FA + WED + ICD + BM).

What would be the optimal setup for TS in this build, considering 5L with blood magic?
I mean, apart from [TS + BM + LMP], which two out of these would work better: WED, ICD, PPAD, P2L(20%)?

WED and ICD or Faster Attack. The two others scale physical damage so they will perform very poorly with Voltaxic.

You should also use GMP instead of LMP, unless the life cost increase is a problem.
