Now take dexterity/intelligence nodes near start of tree, it will allow to use Herald of Ash. Then go straight for Blood Magic and life nodes behind it. With Blood Magic you will use life for attacks and spells. You will not have to care about mana, skill management will be much easier.

Go left, take:
- life, 30 dex,
- leech with axes,
- with regen,
- 2 handed damage,
- melee range
- 1 jewel spot.
You should be in act 2 cruel. Do golden hand quest in fellshrine and crypt, Yenna will give you unique jewel with +1 melee range. Using jewel and melee range from tree will make killing packs much easier. After taking life regen you can start using blood rage gem.

Go up and take life regen, life, damage and area of effect nodes. AOE nodes will increase radius and damage of cyclone. At the end you can take Pure Damage nodes for axes that will boost your kill speed significantly.

Take life and last endurance charge in upper part of tree then go for life near center of tree. You can also take jewel nodes.


Gear:
Spoiler
Go for cap resitances then life and then armour. If you fell safe yo ucan add MF gear or DPS gear. I prefer MF because with good weapon you go enough dps to clear endgame content.

While leveling you can use recipes to make 2h weapons in vendor: weapon + blue rustic sash + Blacksmith's Whetstone.

But it is better to use leveling weapons:


Gems:
Spoiler
To use gems you have to put them into socket in your gear. Support gems have to be linked with main skill. You can buy all gems from vendors in towns, except for Arctic Armour and Temporal Chains.

Main skill:
Cyclone > Fortify > Physical damage > Added fire > Blood magic

4 link give enough damage for entire game. Before you will get cyclone in act 3 normal use:
Level 1-12: molten strike (from 1st quest reward)
Level 12-28: sweep (from act 1 boss reward)

Movement:
Leap slam > Faster attack > Endurance charges on stun > Blood magic

Use leap slam for traveling and skipping obstacles. Linking faster attack to leap slam is crucial. It make traveling much faster after you will get high level.
Defense:
CWDT (lvl 1)> Enfeeble (lvl 7) > Immortal call (lvl 1) > Increased duration (lvl max)
CWDT should be keep at lvl 1. It will cast linked spell every time you will get 528 damage. You have not to level Enfeeble over level 7 and Immortal Call because it will stop working with CWDT then.

Utility:
Blood rage > Increased duration > Blood magic

Blood rage is buff that give you Frenzy charge on kill, boosting your damage and attack speed. It got timer that reset after every kill. If spend some time not killing enemies you have to recast it.

Enduring cry (Rallying Cry) > Blood magic

Cast it before attacking monster packs, it heal you and give endurance charges. Endurance charges grant you physical damage reduction and elemental resistances. If you feel tanky enough you can use Rallying Cry, it increase your damage near enemies.

Flame golem > Minion life > Minion and totem elemental resistances > Blood magic
Flame golem give you additional damage. Minion life make him more tanky. He will die from time to time so don’t forget to recast him.

Auras
Herald of ash > Hatred (if using blood magic gem) > Arctic armour (if using blood magic gem)

When you have Bloodmagic keystone use only Herlad of Ash (HoA), it give you fire damage. When you will get keystone, use Hatred and Arctic Armour. Hatred give a lot of damage and chilled ground from Arctic Armour can be very helpful against rare and unique monsters.

Vaal haste > Increased duration

Vaal haste give great movement and attack speed boost. Remember about not leveling it too high because it require high dexterity.


bandits:
normal: help Oak
Cruel: halp Oak
merciless: help Kraytin

MF farming.
Spoiler

You can do a bit of MF farming with this build. I use medicore iiq ond iir gear to farm kaom, Brightbeak + leap slam is used to get to Kaom fast and I swap weapon for IIR-culling strike-spectral throw to kill Kaom. Atziri's Promise and Lion Roar flasks are used at start of Kaom fight for big DPS boost.

This is very easy, fast and safe.
