Tips for Easy Level (beginner friendly)
- Start using Spark on level 1 and change for Blade Vortex or Arc on level 12.
- Blade Vortex needs too much Dexterity and it might be hard for you to get on early game.
- If you are having problems with Dexterity you can keep Arc until something around level 50. At this point you’ll need 113 Dexterity points, so don’t be shy to look for it on rare items and even grab the +30 nodes on the Passive Tree.

- From lvl 1 to 12 use Spark
- At lvl 8 link Added Lightning Damage
- Reaching level 12 change Spark for Arc
- Reaching level 18 add Controlled Destruction and Faster Casting
- At lv 38 Change Faster Casting for Spell Echo
- If you are having no problems finding gear with Dexterity on early game you can also level up with Blade Vortex
- If so, at level 12 change Spark for Blade Vortex
- Reaching level 18 add Physical to Lightning and Faster Casting
- Also change Added Lightning Damage for Controlled Destruction
- Reaching level 31 you can change Faster Casting for Hypothermia, but make sure that you are already wearing your Hrimsorrow.
