Cant attacks if the totems got stun all the time. Also what spells are good for lvling nowadays? As bv ranger (which eventually will be CI) I'm not sure how to level at league start without grouping up. | ||

also, it takes 1 totem life node to get 10% totem life but 3 points(30 str) to get 9% totem life from that jewel. in some specific cases, when you already have Xstr around a jewel, you could use it temporary. if the totem dies you resummon it. Edit: you can buy blade vortex from the vendor after Merveil; it's op for leveling. | ||

other options are the usual stuff, firestorm + flame totem, bladefall totem. Bow leveling might be good with the new essences | ||

Spire of Stone mainly for stun immunity. Without it elemental bosses like Haast or Dom would take ages since they get stun lock without attacking anything. I usually just slot it in the socket between templar & mara start. | ||

 .i find the lack of aoe on BV not a problem early on since mobs don't really have a chance to kill you; i'd ran right through them. best way to play fireball is as soul gatherer and single target for vaal fireball(which could be the next vaal spark). | ||

I'm sure the buff mostly happens at high gem levels, i doubt it's terribly good levelling still. Don't let me stop you from trying though XD | ||

It's not a question of safety, it's that bladefall and flamestorm's much superior AoE, in my opinion, means faster clear and faster exp. BV of course has the edge vs rares/uniques yeah I'd really want to make a vaal fire baller, but don't really want to make two templars in a league (I'm OCD). it was already strong last league, Zizaran did it with stacking Rolling Flame. With Fireball buff, maybe a 4L fireball will have enough single target for the build to be OK vs bosses ooo you could use that corrupted essence to give "Socketed gems deal 40% more ele damage". You'd have 6L vaal fireball for super fast clear, pseudo 5L fireball for soul gathering / boss clean up. | ||

Bow leveling might be good with the new essences Imo (maybe you got a better perspective since you actually played it all the way to merci =P) levelling BV as ranger was pretty painful. Witch/Shadow np but Ranger takes SO long for damage nodes and the projection is so ass early on that it felt pretty bad. And Ranger can't even really have a levelling tree with something else either since you're going straight left and towards int areas anyway.

I'm definitely buying up shit like rolling flames jewels just to have the option of doing that. Could end up pretty opop. | ||

probably hard to set up the exact essence mods for searching besides the first few hours shouldn't really require too much buying/selling | ||

Edit: you can buy blade vortex from the vendor after Merveil; it's op for leveling. The main reason for spire of stone is the line at the end 'totems cannot be stunned' this can be a real annoyance. The life % is whatever, but it fits nice in the templar start area because it gives a fair amount of it there anyways. | ||
