Notes

Act 4

Keep upgrading your weapon and looking for better links, resists, life, armour.

Around this time your damage may start to fall off if your weapon is behind, consider using Blood Stance always and just having a bit less aoe.

Grab Cast When Damage Taken and put a Guard skill on it, Steelskin or Molten Shell if you have a good amount of armour.

Act 5

Prepare your resistances for the -30 you get from finishing this act.

Act 6

Keep upgrading your weapon and looking for better links, resists, life, armour.

Act 7

Keep upgrading your weapon and looking for better links, resists, life, armour.

2nd Ascendancy can either be Overleech if you feel like you're dying too much, or Bane of Legends otherwise.

Act 8

Keep upgrading your weapon and looking for better links, resists, life, armour.

Act 9

If you aren't at least lvl 60 entering act 9 make sure to level up in The Blood Aqueducts.

Act 10

Prepare yourself for maps and the additional -30 res.

Do your 3rd ascendancy before kitava.

Mapping

Around this time update your filter strictness to early mapping.

Use most of your Alteration Orbs to get an instant Divine Life Flask or 2, ideally with corrupt blood immunity suffix.

If your damage starts to fall behind use your gold to gamble a new Warstaff, you are looking for either high % or Flat Phys, craft the other. Attack speed is good, Crit is also good and allows you to swap to the crit setup.

The Yielding Mortality is a very solid upgrade early on for this build and should be relatively cheap. If you cannot get a gamba staff or one on trade try buying this item and putting your cyclone in it.

Crit Swap

Once you have The Yielding Mortality or a decent crit staff, you can swap into the crit tree. This will up your damage significantly.

Pinnacles

We are Melee which makes this a little tougher than with a ranged character, that said we can move and attack.
Never stay in front of the enemy basically ever and use your movement to be able to dodge their abilities.
In a league start SSF scenario these bosses will die slowly as you will have little to no gear.

I did 2 stone (Eater, Exarch, 3x Memory Bosses) on a 4link with The Yielding Mortality (it dropped in ssf, lmao).
