Looking for fun build

Want to level up a new character and looking for a fun build that is easy to play (playing with one hand on multi-button mouse) solo capable end game, somewhat cheap and most importantly; fun to level. I'm not so interested in transporting another character to 70 to be able to actually use the build, I want it to grow from the start and see it improve.

Standard League, no summoner and no bow build, playing a few of those already.

Nothing? Really?

I dunno, you left it pretty open-ended, so there are a lot of options.

Do you like swords? I'm about to ding 90 in HC perm on my Gladiator, RespectableMatters, using fake dual wield. The crit/golem aspect makes it demand a couple more buttons, but you could probably adapt it for 1-handed play fairly easily, such as by putting golem and curse on trigger (CwDT).

You just kind of scale up physical weapon damage, use swords, and go to town. For leveling, I did the usual stuff - life, resistances, use Melee Physical Damage, look for swords with good base phys. I had fun leveling because I like swords and Lacerate has you swinging swords. I managed to get to level 88 using only 4Ls.

The main damage driver in endgame was using fake dual-wield Scaeva + Advancing Fortress, which allows one to benefit from higher block than any non-legacy shield + sword combo in the game, while still getting dual-wield offensive bonuses as though wielding a Scaeva and a rare sword with identical DPS as Scaeva.

Yeah, I kind of did that on purpose since I'm open to basically anything as long as it's fun to level. I also didn't intend for people to explain an entire build here, in this thread, but rather link to an existing one that just fulfils my criteria. There are about fivtyfivebilliononethousadandthree different builds and, yeah, It's a bit difficult to know what would suit me without reading about and familiarising myself with each and everyone of them.

I'm also somewhat noobish about this game, having come back to it after a three year hiatus and just playing a few weeks back then as well as just a few weeks now.

There are a few options, really...
1. Something Something Flickerstrike
Once you reach lvl 28 (which is the level where you can use lakishu's blade that has a free multistrike) leveling flicker can be pretty fun. I always enjoy leveling flicker, it runs through leveling content almost on its own. I should put a seizure warning here though.

2. Blade flurry, any variant.
Blade flurry is just as good as flicker when it comes to killing story monsters. The mechanics are quite fun imo and I had lots of fun leveling it. If you feel like doing something extra-hipster, then level with

and use

as your final weapon. Abyssus helps with damage and going crit is recommended. Keep your fire resist ALWAYS capped though, otherwise unleashed burns you alive.
