How to Level
Since the above build is an endgame build, use the information provided below for leveling.
Attributes:
Everything into Physique, except for when you need to invest into Cunning or Spirit to meet the required stats for equipping items.
Leveling:
Start as Necromancer-
We will be focusing on Skeletons first before respec’ing halfway through, into Blight Fiends & Reap Spirit and then going back to invest points in Skeletons later on. The reason for this is that Skeletons struggle Mid-game and hence the shifting of focus for a bit helps make things a bit easier.
Since we are going for a Ritualist, it is recommended that you put enough points in Shaman early on, to get a 16/16 Briarthorn before going back to focus on the Necromancer Side. However, do note that it is optional and not necessary for success.
