I'm a complete noob I was wondering if you could send me or post a quick leveling gem progression for this build?

In overview pic you see the gems.

What would our endgame gear look like? No uniques?

What about leveling gear? I guess Lifesprig, Tabula rasa, any other suggestion?

Leveling gear is just standard spell stuff, but doesnt really matter at league start anyway.

I can't speak for others but my endgame gear includes Kaoms Heart and a 6-linked Martyr of Innocence + Serpent Stance on the passive tree. Insane damage boost.

But maybe wand/sceptre + shaper shield with "+1 totem" will be better, dunno yet.

Also Snakepit ring for chain or fork if the clear speed isn't enough for me. Also Taste of Hate and Atziris Promise. I think that would be all the uniques for the build, or does anybody have another idea? Besides the obvious things for total endgame, like Hatred/Anger (I am stll convinced Anger will be better than Hatred) Aul's Uprising or Mark of the Shaper.

So the totem will do phy dmg from 3.6 on. What do we look for on gear for dmg boost?

We convert all dmg to fire, obviously we need elemental damage (opal rings) and fire damage.

Holy flame totem is a spell that does physical damage i guess, so spell damage is also ok.

What else?

Adds ____ to ____ physical damage?

why not take divine fury? it costs only 2 points

After checking the tree I was also wondering this?

Divine Fury looks a better choice than Divine Judgement but maybe I'm wrong on this.

Just curious, but could this build be converted into a Scion build? Or does the Chieftain ascendancy make/break the build?

I think Chieftain is the best option tbh.

are you going to add more skill / support gems as we go into the league? or you plan to use kaoms roots?

We have no attack speed, so Shield Charge is out. All we have to get around are Flame Dash and our legs. So using 0% Movement Speed boots might not be a good idea.

Yeah I guess I will add some gems later after playing around a bit...
