[3.5] Soul Mantle Dark Pact Totems - League Starter - All Content
" 1. There is no level 72 unique required. The reason you see the level 72 requirement on Soul Mantle is because of the gems in there. 2. Both Soul Mantle and Kikazaru are insanly cheap. They don't cost a single chaos alltogether on poetrade. 3. There is both a Budget Leveling Guide and a step by step Skill Tree in his guide. This build is easily accessible, with almost no investment. It is easy to play since totems are a safe way to play and reflect is something one doesn't need to worry about. Simply everything you just wrote is wrong. This is one of the best beginner-friendly builds i have seen, that at the same time is able to clear all the content in the game.

" Anyone tried the Void Battery and Orb of Storms combination? |

" OK level 49 Unique. My mistake on the gem level. So You have to get to level 49 for this beginner build to work. Makes sense. Also, 22 chaos for a 5-link minimum isn't cheap for most beginners - and the OP shows a 6 link which actually is insanely expensive. |

"Kira1414 played this last league. He felt Inya's Epiphany were pretty important because you'd usually get to your maximum Power Charges a lot faster. "It's the one I'm using after all. You can play this with a 4/5/6-link or whatever you prefer (I have the gems listed in priority), but for this build Soul Mantle is by far the best chest on any budget. Even on a 4-link it's better than pretty much anything else, even if it was 6-linked. Builds and Guides:

" Wow. Did you read the guide? He actually gave a level by level guide for how to level to the point where you can switch to the uniques. Specific with cheap leveling uniques and alternate spells. Oh, and what alternate passive skills you should buy and then later refund with respecs you get for free from the story. The 5 or 6 link are nice, but not at all necessary. This build took so little resources to get off the ground, and was so detailed and beginner friendly, it was insane. |

" Sorry, but this is dumb. Next you say "Sunder isn't beginner-friendly because you can only use it with level 12."? How about you simply use something else until you reach level 49? Like you do it with every single item you equip later on. You can buy a Soul Mantle and 4-link it yourself, which costs almost nothing and is enough to clear at least until t10 or higher. | |

Why did you replace Firestorm with Fire Blast? I tried and I felt Fire Blast is hard to hit with totem. I used Firestorm until 49. Did I miss something about how to use Fire Blast?
And when I got to level 49 it felt pretty easy with a 4L Soul Mantle. Thank you for the guide. Last edited by nbminh5595#3734 on Feb 1, 2018, 9:55:20 AM

I know I came off badly in my rant. I am new to the game, so please forgive my ignorance. The point I'm trying to make is if I look up a build for something I want to play that build. Spamming firestorm (for example) or some other unrelated skill until late levels just doesn't sound right to me. I think I'm looking at this game from the point of view of a different game and need to adjust my perspective.
MY apologies to the OP. Thank you for your input. |

" No problem, don't worry about it. You simply need to accept that there are requirements for certain things. For example Cyclone, you need to be level 28 before you can even use that skill, same goes for Dark Pact. In the early levels you can almost play anything, just pick what you feel comfortable with until you can swap to the actualy build you want to play. Until you reach the higher levels your gear will change every few level ups anyway. That's how ARPG's work. You don't get access to everything at level 1. It is deffinetly worth your perspective in that way. Once you leveled up a few characters you will see that is isn't as as bad as you think. |
