Flame of Pleasure Gemma Leveling Guide

Flame of Pleasure Gemma

Gemma has been consumed by her inner Flames, and possesses the power to unleash Armageddon upon her enemies! Flame of Pleasure is well suited for Fire builds. She creates a zone of Purgatory to heavily increase damage done to enemies around her.

Treasure Troves

Treasure Troves are a way to super-charge your leveling experience. They give vastly more experience than regular zones and yield exclusive Legendary items. You need to complete each of them once for a Talent Point. For an easier leveling experience, you repeat the Treasure Trove until you're 8-10 levels above the zone, then rush through the next few areas. Follow your side quest to find the Treasure Trove locations.

Keep an eye out for the following Legendary items as you clear Treasure Troves.

• New Ear Hills (L7): Look out for Pentagram Astrolabe, Lonesome and Rock Lizard's Skull.
• Nectar Valley (L16): Look out for Omniscient Prototype
• Dawn Avenue (L27): Look out for Scarlet Decree, Chain of Resistance and Omniscient Prototype.
• Sanctuary of Solitude (L35): Look out for Lonesome and Pentagram Astrolabe.
• Silver Sands' End (L44): Look out for Chain of Resistance, Furious Man's Body and Scarlet Decree.
• Hall of Grandiosity (L54): Here you should farm to level 60 to reach your next Hero Trait before completing the campaign. Look for, Furious Man's Body, Boom Gloves and Boor's Iron Crown.

Leveling Tips and Tricks

• Your first active skill slot (top left in the Skills menu) is your "Main Skill," this matters because many items and Hero Traits have effects that only apply to the Main Skill.
• If you're ever in doubt of where to go, click the campaign quest on the left of your screen and a golden path shows you the way.
• This guide assumes you get most of your levels through Treasure Troves and rush to the objectives in other zones for maximum efficiency.
• When allocating Pact Points, prioritize Elemental Resistance first, then select Damage nodes until you fill the section. If you have leftover points, put them into Drop nodes as you begin farming the Netherrealm.
• Equip your Memories as you find them from defeating King Lionheart at Level 45 and Ordrak at level 60.
• All support gems become available from the Skill Shop at level 55. At this stage cross reference with the embeds to make sure you're set up for the Netherrealm.
• In Chapter 3 gear you find comes with varying amounts of Energy, after changing your gear, be sure to go to the Energy Menu under Skills to reassign missing Energy.

Equipment & Stat Priorities

Core Skill

• Hammer of Ash is an extremely high damage Demolisher Skill. Hammer of Ash allows you to hit enemies with multiple explosions from the projectiles spawned by it.
• Use Compound Potion to quickly regenerate Life and mana whenever needed.
• Leap Attack allows you to quickly traverse zones and can be used with all Swords, Axes and Hammers.
• Activate Scorch frequently for a large damage bonus with Fire Damage.
• Bull's Rage provides a significant bonus to Melee Damage at the cost of spending some Life.

Leveling Progression

WARNING: The following levels are a guideline, you might complete the quest/unlock the Skill a few levels early, or a few levels later!

Talents

Hero Traits and Memories

Hero Traits

Divinity Slates

After defeating the Steel Forge Timemark 3 Watcher and completing the Netherrealm quest you unlock the Divinity Slate Talents. These can be farmed from different forms of content, but primarily drop from the Cube of Rapacity. Look to brand Divinity Slates with the following nodes;

Pacts

The Netherrealm

Racing through your Netherrealm quests as quickly as possible results in you becoming under leveled for the required zones to progress further, stay within 3 levels of the zones you're completing to avoid a harsh experience penalty. Check out our How to Progress the Netherrealm if you're unsure of anything.

Here's a list of things to do while progressing the early stages of the Netherrealm;

• Level 60, The Trade House is unlocked. Be sure to read and understand our Trade House for Beginners Guide before making any big purchases.
• Higher item levels of gear come with higher quantities of Energy. Look to improve your current gear with items that have increased Energy so that you can use more Support Skills.
• Utilize Crafting and Loot Filters to greatly increase the power of character by getting the recommended affixes.

Transitioning to Endgame

Weapon

A Two-Handed Weapon with high DPS is the primary source of all your damage.

• Search Beacons or the Trade House for items with any of the following modifiers on Two-Handed Hammers
  • Strength
  • Physical Damage added to Gear
  • Gear Physical Damage
  • % Physical or Elemental Damage
  • Gear Attack Speed
  • Affliction Effect
• Craft using Embers until you have a weapon and equipment matching the modifiers in the Equipment above.

Remaining Gear

Focus on crafting the remainder of your Armor and Jewelry with the following goals in mind;

• Cap all of your Resistances at the 75% maximum.
• Have a high Life pool. 4000 is a good target.
• Increase your Physical or Fire damage
• Increase your Attack and Cast Speed

Legendary Items

• The Chain of Resistance is a very common item that provides a large amount of Skill Radius when clearing beacons, as well 50% increased Area Damage against bosses.
• Pale Mist's Embrace causes a percentage of your bonuses to Skill Radius to also be applied to Area Damage.
• Steel Stagnation is the best option for Demolisher builds, even more so if you have the Restoration Speed corrosion.
• Hekate's Vision for your endgame helmet for great damage and survivability.
