This is the leveling tree I used on my first character, downside is you need 35-36 points to respec so around 12-13 regrets, but wanted to be extra safe. First I went up for Path of Savant, then on the right to Harrier and after that rushed dual totems(not sure if its better to just rush dual totems). Then went for totemic mastery/purity of flesh and quick recovery and shamanistic fury for more dps. At any point you can fill up the rest of the scion life wheel if you need the HP and want to be extra safe(after dual totems), at first I only got 3 points there on my way.
Then I went up for Melding and Written in blood, these points seemed inefficient(cos my gear was random, not much energy shield), but I feel they are better than going down the dexterity road to Bravery and Fury bolts.
During my leveling I used Clarity/Herald of Tunder and Arctic armor, as you only kinda need mana to be able to cast the 2 totems right away, or open with curse-> 2 totems, so you don't need much free to play around with.
I kinda went in on every pack and selfcast enduring cry, had immortal call with cwdt too. When I had some links I even put reduced mana on End cry and the 2 curses I used Temp chains/Enfeeble. Also Chaos golem and flame dash. Blind to support flame totem with fire pen in 3 link weapon. Up to act 4 merc I played dual scepter so no shield and I was feeling pretty beefy.
So I guess little bit of everything worked out well
I killed (pre nerf)Malach Cruel on 58 or 59, and it was pretty safe kill, tp-d always for pots refill to town, wanted to be safe, fight felt pretty safe too.
Fixing gear after respec took me few hours probably, sockets and resists. I did it at 69 or 70, but points went in nicely down to Testudo, and got mom/gr/eb and enough points up to warriors blood, my plan after was to get the rest of the block nodes. And damn after switching to incinerate(had ~4.2k hp/1k ES) it felt so damn strong really, too bad I died so fast after lol, couldn't farm much currency and wasted all for the build swap, that felt bad :P
