[3.18] Dancing Dervish Champ, 2+M dps, very tanky, cheap, my league Starter

Champ pros: Champ has more damage, is tankier, is life based so it's easier to gear, free banner, is close to 2 very op nodes: Iron reflexes and EE, semi ailment immune by default, good overall access to powerful defensive tools while unarmed (no shield). So it's better then Occultist in every way except 1.

Occultist pros: Pops.

So champ is a little bit slower on clear, but way better for single target: Minion damage is basically a DOT with no interruptions, so the 3 mil damages here are far better then a 3 mil dps spellcaster or attacker. Trust me on this one.

Use cyclone to cast the offering and hit mobs at the same time (4.5 attacks per second, 100% accuracy after taunt).
JUST BY HITTING YOU WILL TRIGGER RAMPAGE this was changed recently.
Use Smite here and there to proc EE (smite while unarmed still converts the base unarmed damage to light).
You need to have a second predator skill to mark the prey because you are not able to use the one in your weapon as it will be disabled.
Writing jar is only for QOL on rampage and the jewels.

1) Toxic rain for campain as soon as you get it, you can follow other levelling guides online for that, but use my levelling tree, as it's the best for this specific build, having in mind you have to swap.

2) When you unlock heist, from level 50 to basically 65, just sit is heist buing contracts with the toxic rain setup (inventory refreshes each level up, if you finish demolition and lockpicking contracts go back to campain to level up so you can chain them) untill you can afford a usable dancing dervish.

Note: Dancing darvish is a 1c item and it's expensive only on day 1, spend no more then 2c for your well rolled copy, because you'll need to get another one later to swap to 3 blue sockets, and in that occasion you can go for a maxroll.
Just wait couple of hours and ammass jewellers in the meantime.

3)
Once you 6 socket the item the hard way (better then bench), force 2 blu sockets with the bench. You can keep the item for early game if you get up to 2 greens and up to 4 reds. Later on buy a maxroll and force the right colors with bench/harvest/vorici.

Minion damage
Predator
Damage on full life (the minions are invulnerable)
Multistrike
Ele with attacks
Ruthless
(Added cold and/or Faster attacks if you get up to 2 green)

Once you got it, go for triad grip, GGBB, for the cyclone setup (1c)

Now you are set to swap builds, dont wait for victario, you can always add auras later.

4) Blast maps!
