Leveling Melee characters in the Abyss Leagues (Twinked)

With the newly added Abyss Jewels and Ancestral Call, this is the easiest leveling a Melee character has ever been. The main idea is that we level with whatever tree we'd normally use at endgame, except we don't grab any of our DPS nodes at first. We instead grab the defensive nodes and Jewel Sockets first. Abyss Jewels are extremely powerful even on a budget (especially early game). These will completely carry any melee build to endgame.

Level 2

Uniques

2x Redbeak Rusted Sword
Tabula Rasa Simple Robe
Goldrim Leather Cap
Lochtonial Caress Iron Gauntlets
Seven League Step Rawhide Boots or Wanderlust Wool Shoes
Darkness Enthroned Stygian Vise or Rare Level 1 Stygian Vise


Magics

2x Elreon's Coral Ring

Gems

Frost Blades (swap Molten Strike to delete bosses)
+ Onslaught Support


Frost Blades and/or Molten Strike will destroy everything and you will zoom really fast. Not much to be said. I estimate you will have around hundreds of DPS at this time. The magic Elreon rings will keep Mana costs sustainable as we go 6L later. DO NOT GET RESISTANCES ON JEWELS YET. We're going for balanced resistances with The Wise Oak later.


Level 5

Magics

Experimenter's Quicksilver Flask of Adrenaline

Gems

Frost Blades (swap Molten Strike for Bosses)
+ Ancestral Call Support
+ Onslaught Support
Decoy Totem


With Decoy Totem, almost every Boss / Rare encounter is trivialized. You will also destroy things even faster than before due to Ancestral Call.


Level 20

Uniques

Tear of Purity Lapis Amulet
The Wise Oak Bismuth Flask

Magics

Experimenter's Stibnite Flask

Gems

Frost Blades (swap Molten Strike for Bosses)
+ Ancestral Call
+ Elemental Damage with Attacks
+ Elemental Focus
+ Damage on Full Life
+ Faster Attacks


You will now be nearly immortal to attack-based bosses and Abyss Rares, As well as delete everything.


Level 26

Uniques

2x Ewar's Mirage Antique Rapier


These will more than double your damage from the Abyss Jewels. Get ones with 22% Attack Speed and 48%+ increased Elemental Damage with Attacks.


Level 31

Uniques

Thief's Torment Prismatic Ring


This will give you virtual-immortality in combat.


Level 41

Uniques

Tombfist Steelscale Gauntlets
Windscream Reinforced Greaves



These will let you delete everything up to white Maps.
