Notes

LVL 1-11
(Buy Iron ring/rustic sash)
(Buy Spectral Throw/Frostblink/faster attacks/clarity(dont lvl)) Can buy pierce later for the lvl 14 swap -- Spectral helix or Sunder is also an option if you want to lvl with that until 38.
----Buy a 2h sword when you enter town after killing hillock-----
----Use whatever weapon until you take dual-wield nodes, 2h sword, 2h axe and 2h mace are optimal. Start focusing on 1h weps in acts 5-6----

Spectral Throw - Added Fire - momentum 
Leap slam - Faster attacks
Frostblink (Do not level frostblink because of the intelligence requirements)

----With 3.25 the blacksmith whetstone applies 20% quality to low ilvl weapons, use this often (the rarity of the item doesn't matter anymore, a rare lvl 5 bow will get 20% quality with 1 whetstone)
----Sell a lot of unid rares for transmutes, very important as we need transmutes to craft flat ele damage on our rings----
----Make sure to do the strongbox in the upper prison (1 area before brutus) to get your 2nd quicksilver-----
-----Help Alira or Kraityn----- Alira makes gearing easier, kraityn for speed running.
-----You always need more accuracy then life while lvling with precise technique. If your accuracy is low then click on some accuracy nodes

LVL 14-37 (Swap to lightning strike, use pierce gem until you allocate pierce on your tree)
(buy Herald of ash and Poacher's mark in act 2, buy anger in act 3) -- Poacher's mark is very important as it solves your mana issues on bosses, without needing leech.
(craft flat on weapon after act 3 piety, but lower priority then rings as you replace your weapon more often)
(Craft flat ele dmg on rings after lunaris temple in act 3)
--------Until you take the claw wheel by ranger, you can use any 1h wep (sword, dagger or claw). 2h weapons are also fine, but slower because of the attack speed.

Lightning strike - Pierce - added fire damage or Elemental damage with attacks or trinity (if you can proc it) (I would only use pierce on a 4 link, use on a 3 link if your dmg is really good)
frostblink-Blood Rage 
Leap slam - Faster attacks (Use whirling blades if you already swapped to claws)
Poacher's mark
precision - anger - Herald of Ice or herald of ash (You can drop precision if your accuracy is high enough, just look at your life/accuracy number and usually don't lvl it above 2 or 3).
(Use herald of ice/herald of ash at lvl 16 and drop herald of ash for anger at lvl 24)

LVL 38+
Lightning strike - Multistrike - Returning Projectiles - Trinity or Elemental damage with attacks (Trinity is better but requires balancing your elemental damage)
anger - haste or grace (use herald of ice if you want a better mana pool)
frostblink - Blood Rage
Whriling blades - Faster attacks
Poacher's mark - mark on hit - lifetap (If you don't have the links just selfcast sniper's mark on bosses)

--------!!Important!!------------
Make sure to always be crafting flat dmg on your rings

At the start you want to be using two difference weapon types (for example 1 claw and 1 sword) for the dual wield mastery
Once You take the claw wheel next to the leech nodes, you want to only be using 2 claws and spec out of the dual wield mastery


Regex for vendor: (shows 3 links and movement speed boots)
