Really high quality guide, but because there is more than 1 path you can take (CI/LL), it does make it kinda confusing for beginners like me.

Few questions:

1. My plan is to go CI. Since your PoB has been updated to include brand passive tree, do you have a guide for leveling with that? I see that the current leveling guide you have clearly says it is not updated for wintertide brand.

2. So for the end game, will you be using vortex and wintertide brand? Or is wintertide brand used only for leveling?

To be honest I prefer to just play the good old reliable vortex/cold snap, which matches your current leveling guide. Your PoB however, is geared towards brands, so I have no PoB to follow

Thanks in advance

SSF player here. I finally killed Sirus, after about seven leagues (thank you, Shakcentral!), and he dropped, of all things, the Crown of the Inward Eye.

I have enough oil to do Transfig of Soul, and I already had it on a world drop talisman. I found The Stampede, so I was going to put Flash Freeze on it and anoint a better amulet with Transfiguration of Soul... but now I have the Crown.

Should I use the crown in place of Rime Gaze, or just keep Rime Gaze? I would get all three transfigurations, which would be some use in damage and I could switch out the anoints to get Flash Freeze on the new amulet and maybe Foresight on the boots.

That seems really tempting, but I'm guessing if that was the best thing it would be a recipe in Trade League.

What do you guys think, bearing in mind I'm SSF and can't do anything with it but use it or tuck it away?

(Oh, I'm CI right now-- no Shav's yet.)

Depends on how you like to play, really. You'll get to try them both in levelling. If you like more active playstyle, maybe creeping frost is what you'll like better. If you're more a planning type, you might like WTB- and I could be wrong. It's never too late to switch your primary gem, really-- that why we have an off-set. You can even use vortex as your primary. See what you like.
I think creeping frost should be easier for a newbie to level with, though. It's pretty straight-forward. WTB has good clear, but the mechanic is not obvious.

Thanks, man. It sounds to me that creeping frost should be a better idea here. Except for being easier to play, I don't need to take some brand notes and regret later, right?

Just another question. Are we taking 2pts for bandits when doing ACT2? I mean, a little worry about total elemental resistance for the first char in a new league.
