Ascendency Order:
Crave the Slaughter
Flawless Savagery
Aspect of Carnage
Blitz or Rite of Ruin

Gem Links
Spoiler
Aim for these, The elemental damage support shouldn't be used until you convert your phys to fire. Reflection is from my "The Saviour" You don't need alternate quality right away or awakened gems!! Normal versions of the gems are great for the league start! once you can afford them, get them. Ancestral Call Support/Behead Support should be used if you are leveling and mapping. If you are lazy you can skip them for more single target damage. You can get the mod "Non-vaal strike skills target # enemies" on your gloves through eater mods and the Strike Mastery "Non-Vaal Skills strike additional target" to make up for no ancestral call support.



Passive Tree order
Level 1 to 20+
Spoiler


Level 20 - 33+
Spoiler


Level 33 - 55+
Spoiler


Option Select
Spoiler
After this, you can either choose to fully commit to elemental or physical, but I recommend phys if it's a league start. If you go Phys, build into these.
Spoiler

If not, copy the elemental damage from the Converting to fire for triple dps spoiler!


Leveling gear
Spoiler
Any two high phys wep works until maps, any gear with high HP and resists


Budget Mapping goal
Spoiler
Ichimonji, Abyssus, Carnage Heart, Dawnstrider Vaal Greaves with Panoptican annoint on neck (Verdant, Opalescent, Indigo oils) WITH Ancestral Protecter are all great to start the league with.


Mid Level Investments:
Spoiler
The Saviour, Paradoxica (if you want soul eater easy, get a red banner gladius) Farruls Fur or an Astral Plate with crit % to attacks.


The "Gas"
Spoiler
1. You want to buy Kaom's Spirit Titan Gloves to max out your rage before starting the map, then swap back to your main gloves. This build utilizes the soul eater node from Crucible and Rite of Ruin. This lets you skip right to high tier maps if you built tanky without much investment to start your grind for better gear.

2. Diamond flask with increased effect and crit chance, as well as a Granite Flask with duration/increased effect enkindling orb


Converting to Fire damage to triple your dps
Spoiler
Forbidden flesh jewels sell for about 70-100 chaos each. You're looking for Ngamahu from the chief tree. Swapping to fire pretty much lets you deal full damage to bosses from getting all the free pen element damage does, and you can build into elemental damage with attacks on your gear.

https://pobb.in/nxt_OtBj-72c this is what my very optimized fire conversion looks like, I swap around passives to test them out still but so far this has been destroying ubers like crazy. You may want to get a chest with "Apply an additional curse" so you can run Flammability.


Remember!
Always cap resists!
No glass cannon! You can get tanky and still do damage.
Grab fortify node or support
Get Chaos resist to at least 50%
Free Style the build a bit! it's very flexible. Need accuracy? grab an accuracy node, etc.
Swap Brutality and Melee phys damage for Behead and Ancestral Call for map clearing/farming, until you get your fire conversion uniques.
You can get so much attackspeed that the animation stops happening! vid coming soon.
Flasks are broken!!!!!!!!! USE THEM!
