PoB in maps (level 56) [ Ссылка ]
-------
Edit: Act 1-3 have been nerfed with patch notes! I recorded another video showcasing how to level it now! [ Ссылка ]
Also consider following KobeBlackMamba, he'll release a guide soon probably.
-------
DO NOT try this first time in league start
DO NOT play in league start unless you've practiced and have confirmed it feels good for you.
Build is hard to execute and even if you are experienced in venom gyre and fast levelling it might still feel bad.

Ever since Spectral Helix nerf I've been looking at ways to level up Venom Gyre. Tried Helix, tried bows, tried Poison Concoction. Turns out the answer was much simpler: Just use Venom Gyre to level!

Levelling setups:
lvl 1-12 - bows
lvl 12-20 - poison concoction
lvl 20-maps - venom gyre

Bows:
Caustic Arrow + Mirage Archer + Pierce (if you got g-g-g)
Shrapnel Ballista + Pierce (if not in caustic)

Poison Concoction:
Poison Concoction - LMP - Onslaught (can swap in volley instead for more dmg on bosses if u want)

Level 20 Venom Gyre: (Also see 'When to swap' section below!)
Venom Gyre - LMP - Onslaught - Trinity
Replace onslaught with added cold or Fork or WED when you get Silver flask or Graceful Assault node
Replace LMP with Fork or added cold when you get 3rd lab (Endless Munitions, +2 proj)

When to swap:
- Don't actualy swap at level 20 if you are not ready, you'll do zero damage and poison concoction is still OP at that point.
- You need to have at least Ambidexterity Node + %60 Increased damage while wielding two different weapon types
- You ALSO need 2 different weapons, a claw and a dagger. At the minimum one of those should have some actual good elemental damage rolls.
- DO NOT SWAP if you don't have proper weapons. Just stay with Poison Concoction until you find alchs/essences/weapons.

Important notes:
- To get good damage it's best to have at least 4 flat damage lightning crafts. You should get those on rings, amulet and gloves. Craft can be found after killing Piety in Act3 Lunaris Temple 2. (This is A LOT of transmutes, don't waste them on other stuff and sell items unidentified when possible!)
- To get at least some resists it's very useful to have resist suffix on quicksilver flask. Use your level 4 flask, put a transmute around a5-6 and then spam alterations until you get +resist on it. It's very very common if you use your lvl4 flask!

Important notes on weapons:
- You need 1 claw & 1dagger for the levelling build to function at all! (you can swap to 2x claws in maps). Put claws & daggers in your filter and make sure you're constantly looking for upgrades.
- Save most alch/essences to try to craft good weapons if you don't find them on the ground.

There are 2 important breakpoints for crafting elemental damage weapons:
- level 19 - Don't craft any weapons below item level 19 (need for good flat ele damage roll, tier8).
- level 43 - If you get good weapons in act2 - save your alchs/essences for level43 when you can get very good weapons (this is The Chamber of Innocence zone, you can get tier 5 roll but also you get better chances for tier6 and tier7).
- I suggest you don't craft flat damage on your weapons early on because it's very expensive (4 transmutes each) and transmutes are very precious early on! You can maybe craft attack speed (6 alts) when you get the recipe (act4)

How to progress after this ?
Watch KobeBlackMamba's videos from 3 months ago, he has many videos & PoBs for maps and endgame. You can wait until level 80 or 85 to swap to crit, or you can swap earlier (75 is the earliest I'll suggest but most importantly you need claw with crit + all crit nodes on tree)

If you watch the video you'll see that I'm actually super underlevelled. In an actual league start don't do that. Also don't leave alchs behind, they are precious!
