This is one of the best leveling builds for the Juggernaut class. It will easily carry you to level 90's with just basic equipment. Consecrated Path is an attack skill which teleports you to the targeted enemy and deals high area damage, making it a perfect pick for leveling and speed farming. It has very similar mechanics to Flicker Strike but does not have any cooldown and can be spammed to teleport between groups of enemies. Also, if you manage to get Oni-Goroshi early on, it will make the entire leveling process a piece of cake as it can be used starting from level one, and its damage increases every time you level up. It can be also a great Starter build - assuming you manage to obtain(or afford) Oni-Goroshi.

1. Gameplay

This is a very fast Melee build which allows you to instantly teleport between packs of monsters with Consecrated Path. It deals high Area damage which fully converted to Fire with Avatar of Fire Passive skill. This builds is nearly as swift as a Flicker Strike build, but does not require Frenzy Charges, granting much smoother gameplay. Also, this build utilizes the Juggernaut class for its defensive utility, allowing you to easily reach high Tier maps with very little expenses. Sadly, end-game content will require either respeccing to for example Molten Strike, or excessive investments in gear. Both Consecrated Path and Oni-Goroshi have limited capabilities when it comes to dealing with Guardians and Shaper for example.

2. Build's PROS & CONS

PROS
  • insane clear speed
  • uses the same items during leveling and Maps
  • smooth gameplay
  • excellent as a League Starter build if you manage to obtain Oni-Goroshi
CONS
  • vulnerable to Elemental Reflect mods
  • unsuited for end-game Bosses with the recommended gear
  • mediocre Physical Damage mitigation (for Juggernaut standards)

3. Leveling tips

The entire leveling process should be centered around Oni-Goroshi. You can get this sword by farming it from Uber Hillock or buying it from other players. In order to do it, you need to repeat the Twilight Strand before you enter Lioneye's Watch for the first time. You need to clear the area, leave the game to the character selection screen, wait approximately 90 seconds and restart. If you are lucky you will find Uber Hillock which will drop the sword. This is a time-consuming process and will require some luck. When you obtain Oni-Goroshi, leveling is a piece of cake. You will never have to worry about your damage until Maps. Initially, it's recommended to use Molten Strike for leveling before you are level 28 when Consecrated Path becomes available.
