I want to just quickly share you with my new favorite Brands twink leveling build in Path of Exile 3.23. This twink leveling build probably not new, but it is super broken. This is primarily just for Shadow, Witch, and Templar. So if you are ready with enough POE Currency, let's just dive into this guide.

How It Works

This is a spellcasting twink leveling build that is based around Storm Brand of Indecision and Penance Brand of Dissipation. It honestly just feels ridiculously broken, and it’s just really fun. If you want to spend a couple of Divine Orbs on your twink leveling setup and just go really, really fast, and just kind of do massive damage.

We can use Storm Brand of Indecision, which is really good to clear. It bounces around really quickly and just kills everything. And then for a single target, we are using Penance Brand of Dissipation, which will sit on a single enemy and pulse, doing very high damage.

The great thing about these transfiguration gems is they still have the base required level of the regular gems. So, from Level 12, you can use Storm Brand of Indecision, and from Level 28, use the Penance Brand. As soon as you put on these gems, you just feel super powerful.

ACT 1

Early Act 1, I just did regular Rolling Magma with some twink gear for doing some bonus damage. As soon as I hit Level 12, I put in Storm Brand and was off to the races. For scaling, you want to go for Lightning spell skill gems, increase lightning damage, increase spell damage, as well as cast speed because they will pulse more quickly with increased cast speed. More cast speed doesn’t work. Then you just want to stack as much flat damage as possible.

As soon as you hit Level 20, you want to use Replica Tasalio's Sign. The key here is it will add a lot of flat cold damage to your spells and attacks, and then you will be chilling the enemy with your cold damage, which then adds way more flat cold damage. You’re getting over 100 flat cold damage added to your character, and you can use the elemental damage catalyst, which I believe is the Turbulent, which will scale both the cold damage to attacks and spells as well as against chilled enemies. This makes the 60 to 80 value right here go to 72 to 96. So, as soon as you can put these on at Level 20, you get kind of a broken amount of flat damage.

Elemental Damage Nodes

If you are starting as Templar, Witch, or Shadow, you would want to take all the elemental damage nodes, rush over to Runebinder and Runesmith. I took the Mastery for increased area of effect, more area of effect, more elemental damage. You do want to then go for cast speed, lightning damage, all these nodes right here, as well as then taking Brand Equity.

That’s all you have to go for. If you’re in any of these top 3 classes, take these general nodes. You can also take Blast Radius. You can also take Arcane Expanse. Area of effect, spell damage, lightning damage, cast speed - just go for all of those nodes. Then we will do a lot of damage.

Passive Skills

The only auras that I’m using are Herald of Thunder and Clarity for quality of life. Even better would be to fit in Wrath for even more damage, but it does make the mana a little tight. If you wanted to do that, I would probably go into something like Sovereignty and just get a bit more mana headroom.

But all I’m doing is Leap Slam, Frostblink, dropping Storm Brand of Indecision. The Storm Brand alone is doing significant damage. It’s killing rares really quickly. You can just drop one and run past, and it’ll kill everything behind you, and it’s all dead. I think this is going to scale absolutely crazy all the way through ACT 10. You might need slightly better weapons, but that’s kind of it.
