Notes

Levelling:
Smite from level 1

3 link: Smite - Added Fire - Faster Attacks

Melee feels bad in acts 1-2. I just accepted it being bad but feel free to level the first 2 acts differently if it is too difficult
When you get +1 strike and a weapon that is not the starting weapon it feels a lot better
Use the +30 INT/STR nodes if needed to level up smite and support gems

4 Link add Trinity and drop added fire when you are mainly elemenetal damage

Use the black market it is a very good source of well rolled gear and 4/5 links

Keep an eye on accuracy but if you follow the tree you should be fine until maps

Early Mapping

Aim to upgrade your gear bit by bit. 
Start with your weapon as you will probably double your DPS just by using a deafening essence of Wrath on a sword
Get resists capped if they are not already and look at the progress I make with my tree to get an idea of respecs
Use the gear in the POB and video to get an idea of what to upgrade and when. 
When you switch to Perseverance make sure you have a way to generate fortify
When you complete Uber Lab make sure you have a way to get endurance charges
(On kill and enduring cry on bosses works well early)

Farming Early Currency
I used a deli tree and 1 x deli orb of paranoia and 1 x deli orb of mania. You have to be quick around the map as you have to kill the boss before the deli runs out. Sell all the orbs, fossils, scarabs, etc.. that drop and if you are doing maps quickly without wasting time in hideout you can farm 3 divines for the sword in 60-90 minutes.


Detailed Levelling Links:

Act 1:
Smite - Added Fire - Faster Attacks
Dash
Leap Slam - Faster Attacks

Act 2:
Add Herald of Ice & Blood Rage

Act 3: 
When you have elemental damage swap added fire for ele damage with attacks. Can also use cruelty
Add Anger in as your aura and drop herald of ice

When you hvae a 4 link add trinity support into your links

Act 4: At level 38 add multistrike into the build instead of faster attacks

Act 6: Buy Wrath and use this. Drop Anger. Can use inspiration in links if mana is an issue. Buy more smite gems and level in off hands. When Wrath starts becoming higher level trinity will stop working. Switch it out out for something like inspiration, volatility, ele damage
When you pick up the reservation nodes use Determination alongside Anger (Buy from Act 3 Vendor)
