Leveling Melee with Flameblast in Path of Exile

By Leo Jiang2017-09-26

For action role-playing game fans, playing Path of Exile can be a pleasant and stimulating experience, however, there are a few things that fans tend to be nervous about. One of them is grinding out the levels, which can be tedious busywork for the most part, especially when you play with a melee character. Some would say that you may go with a magic or ranged character as well with the greater propensity for AoE damage, but the true feeling of an ARPG can only be felt in the sensation of a melee character's meaty hits on enemies around him. You can make use of PoE Items to level up your equipment attribute.

 

Like a Marauder or Tempest, this is not merely a build, but an overall guide on how to level up quickly with a melee character. In order to get the most out of Path of Exile, this is why an optimal way for leveling up with a melee character is needed. Sometime PoE Currency is useful. So let's use the Marauder as the basis for this guide. In order to do most of the damage, the most important thing to consider is a compatible AoE active skill that can be built up.

If you wish to create another build later, then you may do so. The point here is to take the character level to the maximum so that you can do without being stuck in a lower level for long. Fire is always a good idea, and Flameblast performs pretty well for this purpose. You can ramp it up with Flame Totem and Blind, and you can add Faster Casting to go even faster, which is actually better than Searing Bond due to both synergy and what it does to enemies. In a matter of moments, it is a great way to turn monsters into burned toast, which brings in all the experience points very quickly. You can get exalted orb as well.

 

To get the experience train moving, there are lots of ways, but it seems that Flameblast is getting lots of traction consistently, which has made it a fan favorite in the game. The basics are Flameblast with Chance to Ignite, Elemental Proliferation, and Concentrated Effect for the most amount of damage to as many enemies in as little time as possible. If you have a 5-link, you can increase Burning Damage, if you have a 6-link, you can amp it up with Fire Penetration.

You can focus on health and mitigation as well, that fire damage can be buffed with Flameblast's initial hit and ignite. If you play in Softcore league, so long as it makes Flameblast better, you can forego health nodes for more that deals with fire damage and so on.

 

You’ll find that your character can shred through just about anything very quickly if you're able to tie everything together and make ends meet. If you wish to make use of other active skills, then you may do so easily. Just take note that you need an AoE active skill that can be augmented with support gems and your passive skill build.
