Path of Exile 2 Sorceress Stormweaver Leveling Build Guide
*Skill and Support Gems*
Ember Fusilade - Scattershot - Unleash - Fast Forward (Tier 2)
Elemental Storm (Ascendancy Skill) - Concentrated or Magnified Effect - Controlled Destruction
Frostbomb - Magnified Effect - Execute (remove after you get Fireball)
Shield Charge (on weapon swap) - Martial Tempo - Ingenuity (Tier 2)
Flammability - Heightened Curse - Persistence
Raging Spirits - Fire Infusion - (Martial Tempo)
Fireball - Arcane Tempo - Considered Casting (Tier 2)
You will need two Strength Nodes for Shield Charge and a Level 3 Skill Gem. The Shield Charge Setup is not necessary.
Frostbomb is to give this build some more AoE clear since Ember Fusilade is not good at clearing large packs. This becomes especially noticeable in Deshar and Spires of Deshar. Once you have Fireball you don't need Frost Bomb anymore.
Cast Fireball when Ember Fusilade is "hovering".
*Spirit Gems*
Raging Spirit
Grim Feast

I pathed first to "All Natural" and then went for "Volcanic Skin".
*Gear Progression*
Look for +Levels to Spell Skills Gem at the Vendor. +Levels to Gems will provide flat damage. %increased Damage is important too but I would prioritise additional Levels to Gems over that. You can also get +Levels to Spell Skills on Staffs, Focus, Wands and Amulet in the Normal Campaign.
*Resistances*
For Act 1 you want Cold Resistance. In Act 2 you want Lightning Resistance for the final Act 2 Boss. If you do the "Elemental Offering" (Act 2, Buried Shrines) you can choose a Topaz/Ruby/Sapphire Ring. Vendors can also sell Resistance Rings. If you do not have enough Resistance Rings I would consider gambling for one at the Vendor (Risu at Act 2, Alva at Act 3) if you have sufficient Gold. The Act 3 Boss will cause all 3 Elemental Damage types, but I would prioritise getting high Lightning Resistance. You can socket Glacial/Desert/Storm to get 12% Cold/Fire/Lightning Resistance.

Atlas Tree in this run is now outdated.
Build is also outdated. If I were to do this run again I would probably go Trickster and Necromancer with Flesh Offering. Both Raider and Gladiator have been nerfed and are not ideal anymore.

*Act 1 Regex*
r-[rb]-b|b-[rb]-r|r-b-r|b-r-b|nne|itho
*Aura Setup*
Act 1 - War Banner
Act 2 - War Banner + Herald of Purity
Act 3 - War Banner + Pride + Herald of Purity
Once you have the mana reservation efficiency nodes in the Templar
Determination + Pride + War Banner.
Once you have the mana reservation nodes in the Marauder region you can add Herald of Purity.
*Support Gems*
Act 1 - Spectral Throw + Chance to Bleed
Act 2 - Switch to Exsanguinate + Efficacy + Controlled Destruction/Cruelty.
End of Act 4 - Exsanguinate + Controlled Destruction/Brutality + Unleash + Chain.
We can also use Reap now since its easy to get 3 stacks of the Exsanguinate debuff onto bosses.
Reap + Controlled Destruction + Brutality + Cruelty
Once you have the sockets and colors for a 4-link Corrupting Fever
Corrupting Fever + Efficacy + Brutality + Swift Affliction
*Gear Progression*
Look for +1 Physical Skill Gem Wands and/or Physical DoT Multi. If you get one with an open Prefix you will be using that for the entire Exarch&Eater run. You want to pick up unidentified Rares early on for Resistance crafts. You also need to sell some identified rares so you can craft the Spell damage recipe onto your wand in case you do not get a wand with good prefixes.
In Merciless Lab you want to farm Exsanguinate of Transmission or just buy it. Transfigured Exsanguinate has built-in Chain as well as a lower base cast time and higher base duration. This comes at the cost of lower hit damage and damage effectiveness but these stats are not important for us. You can also farm quality for your Exsanguinate but I do not think its absolutely necesssary.
Once you enter maps or early maps you are looking to have a 4-Link for all your damaging skills. Also, if you did not get physical dot multiplier unveil and you do not have it on your wand yet in the campaign I recommend doing Jun Missions and/or picking the Keystone All Hands.

🛑After the Snipers Mark nerf do not get 40% projectile speed anymore once you have 4 projectiles. You will want 20% in total. Either drop Ballistics or get 2x 10% reduced Projectile Speed nodes.🛑

Only one hit is shown. Spectral Throw will hit multiple times per attack (not shotgun, 225ms hit timer).
Act 1 Regex
g-g-r|g-[gr]-g|r-g-g|nne|rint
*Spectral Throw Specific Advice*
I recommend positioning opponents about 3/4 of the maximum distance that your ST can travel to maximise damage. If possible try to put bosses next to walls/obstacles so ST can bounce off them and return faster. Also dont use Snipers Mark before you have at least 2 Projectiles.
*Support Gems*
Act 1 - Spectral Throw + Chance to Bleed + Added Cold Damage.
Act 2 - Spectral Throw + Added Cold Damage + Elemental Damage with Attacks/Trinity.
Once you go for Crit (early maps) replace Added Cold Damage with Nightblade Support.
*Aura Setup*
Act 2 - War Banner + Herald of Ice
Act 3 - Anger + Herald of Ice or War Banner
Once you have Charisma allocated you can go for Grace & Anger or Anger & Wrath
*Gear Progression*
You want to do essences in campaign and use them on your claws just in case if you get unlucky identifying claws and dont find anything useful.
Flat Damage craft on jewelery helps a lot with getting more damage but they cost 4 Transmutes. Once you are in maps you will want a decent +300 eDPS claw otherwise progressing into red maps will be hard. You also switch from Dual-Wielding to Claw and Shield. Going for essences early is definitely a good option. Anguish, Torment and Suffering will give flat damage for jewelry. Hatred, Anger and Wrath will provide flat damage for your claw.
