Hello,

I'm a newbie player i have only made one character and took it to lvl75 following a build guide
I'm thinking in doing this build this league. But i don't enjoy much leveling the early lvls. Do you happen to have any guide on how to faster lvl with this build? Also which of the quests i can skip each act.
Tbh anything you belive will help a new player overcome the learning curve.

Thanks guys.

Hey. I found a forum guide for you where he's written what you need/should do in each act. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2150196 He also links to the videos that Engineering Eternity did for each act.

Question about leveling pre-HoA. I tested this build out at the end of 3.5 and I leveled up with cleave till I started using HoA. Cleave till 16 would be fine but waiting to 31 would be less great. Any suggestions on leveling skills?

I usually level with Molten Strike + Ancestral Call when starting any new melee character, so that is what I would go with. Pick up HoAg in a2 and then I'd probably continue to use Molten Strike up until maps as a league starter (or at least until you can use the Blood Magic support), as cyclone is very mana hungry.

Is there any difference to the tree or gear if using molten strike except for maybe placing a wildfire jewel?

The Wildfire jewel will be the only item change. If you want you can experiment a bit with your supports for MS, if you want to increase the LGoH potential for MS. GMP and Ancestral Call will both increase your LGoH, but you'd have to drop Blood Magic / Fortify / Withering Touch in that case.

great build, i will give it a try for 3.6 !

What is better: A Tabula or a 4 Link Calamity?

Does Abyssal Cry get better later on? I'm at Lv60 now and tbh it feels useless.

Just wanted to pop in and say thanks for the guide. Was looking for something different to play this league and thought I would give this a try and I am having a BLAST!. Quite possibly my favourite build to date out of the dozens I have tried over the last 500 hours.

Great job dude!

Leveling with molten strike went pretty smoothly and this build is feeling very good this league so far.

I am far from an expert but looks like in PoB the tabula is much better.

It certainly is not strong for me but it does seem to better clear packs with it especially in desne situations. Without it the crawler will sometime take more volleys to clear it and with AC it cleans up better.

thanks for this build im destroying white tier maps with only a 4 link calamity lol im transitioning to 5 link now and see what i can destroy then thanks man

Went with a bow Agony Crawler probably should have stuck with this one but didn't want to keep repeating. Such a tank at minimal investment.
