Leveling HC/Cruci Commando

Both Jajaja and Pyroscar have great endgame guides for Cruci Commandos - and both look like a lot of fun!

I wanted to make my first HC char based on aiming toward these goals, but self-farmed, slowly working into the ultimate endgame versions they’ve proposed.

Because they’re high in AoE and look like fun with procs (and I like the idea of flashbang, esp as leveling) - and highly survivable - I was hoping for an effortless (mistake tolerant!) HC leveling class combo…

But, of course, neither guide has their leveling portion up yet!

Could anyone point me through links or general advice - What should I focus on for 1 - 50? Considering that I’ll likely respec entirely in the later levels, anyway, are there solid Commando skill combos to protect me while walking me through trash mobs w/ AoE? What are the early devotion lines? And of course, what should I know (class-specific, esp) before I make my first HC mistakes?

Thank you so much!

Fastest/easiest would be leveling with Canister Bomb or BWC, you don’t need to bother with anything else til Elite. Equipment/devotions won’t matter much, stack fire damage and have fun testing skill/proc combos along the way.

Get Menhir’s whatever it’s called as a circuit breaker just in case.

Forcewave or BWC
