2.4 BV Life/EV Easy Mode

Cheap
Easy to gear self found
Incredibly easy to play
Great first character

Wont be able to do highest tier content without expensive gear
May be difficult to change your spec to one of the more expensive end game Low Life Blade Vortex builds

Help Oak
Kill All/Help Oak (for physical dmg increase, preference here, either is good)
Kill All

Start with Spectral Throw and rush through Act 1. Normal takes no gear and is incredibly simple. You should start Act 2 on or about level 12, at which point you can equip Blade Vortex on any random dagger, or continue to level with Spectral Throw.
If this is your first character, just equipping any random pieces of gear that are slight upgrades will work just fine.

Here we go and grab Written In Blood, Force Shaper, and Doom Cast for some damage before getting Heart and Soul, Blast Radius, and Cruel Preparation
You can save 4 points and ignore Cruel Preparation (top of the tree) for a little less life and use those for utility, such as another Jewel Socket, a +30 Strength node, or if you'd prefer to pick up some +1 to Max Frenzy charges

Here is the Finished Tree (lvl 90)

Push for Hired Killer, and the Scion Life Wheel and Path of the Warrior before going for Aura Nodes. Pick up Vaal Pact when you feel you have enough leech, high 60's to mid 70's you should be ok to pick this up.



Finished Tree for Shadow (lvl 92)

If you decide to roll as a Shadow, the skill tree is identical at the start, however you will pick up the Physical and Chaos Damage nodes at the beginning of the Shadow Area. You will also not need to travel further south on the tree than Vaal Pact (don't pick this up early!) and instead will focus on Power Charges. This will result in higher damage, but lower life and evasion in the end.

Ranger:
Veteran Bowyer (Normal Labyrinth) - increases damage output
Master Herbalist (Cruel Labyrinth) - adds poison for extra damage
Nature's Boon (Merciless Labyrinth) - damage reduction and more flask use
Master Alchemist (Uber Labyrinth) - status immunity and increased damage


Shadow:
Unstable Infusion (Normal Labyrinth) - power charge generation
Deadly Infusion (Cruel Labyrinth) - stronger critical attacks
Ambush (Merciless Labyrinth) - huge opening hits on enemies
Assassinate (Uber Labyrinth) - ends the fight even quicker

My initial thoughts are going down the Pathfinder tree, as end game flasks offer the ability to vastly increase your damage output and survivability. Raider is also a very viable path if you would like to gain frenzy charges at the cost of a little bit of life for more damage and evasion.
Rolling as a Shadow and following the Assassin tree for more critical strike damage is a very good option as well.

Main Damage: (GBBBBR)
Blade Vortex - Spell Echo - Controlled Destruction - Increased Area of Effect - (5L) Added Fire Damage - (6L) Physical to Lightning
If you are leveling and having some difficulties, you can swap Added Fire Damage and Increased Area of Effect. This will let you deal more damage, albeit in a smaller area. Use Concentrated Area of Effect for bosses for extra short boss fights.

Defensive Setups:
Cast When Damage Taken - Immortal Call - Increased Duration - Vaal Haste (this is VERY optional. It will benefit from your Increased Duration gem, but is not a very cheap item!)

Aura's:
Blasphemy - Warlords Mark
Grace (standard) or Arctic Armor (more tankiness) or Hatred (more damage)

It may be good to level these three defense gems and swap them out as needed. Or be lazy and run Hatred unless you take a lot of damage, then switch to Grace. Arctic Armor may be a good choice on some bosses if you feel like micromanaging.
