Note that the toads do not explode for AOE damage. I hate Plague of Toads just as much as everyone else, but the math is on the side of Explosive Toads at this level due to (1) Swallow Your Soul removing Toads’ mana deficit, and (2) Spider Queen’s super-cheap AOE damage taking the place of Leaping Spiders. Interesting fact: for levels 13-39, each build contains Physical, Fire and Poison damage (not intentional). Follower skill choices are based on what would help me and the Templar most often. I’m not a big fan of Rabid Dogs and Sacrifice and they are small damage gains here, so they can be swapped with a situational skill if the dogs are dying too quickly. Soul Harvest is a part of every build after level 9. The low mana cost of Spiders really shines now, as it allows for more Firebats than a Poison Dart build. Now mana needs to be watched, switching between Corpse Spiders and Firebats as needed. Corpse Spiders is a wash at this level, with the math slightly on the spider side if targets are snared with Grasp of the Dead. Not much room for diversity here, and it should only take 10-15 minutes anyway. Mana neutrality makes magic/gold find gear easier to equip Good offense = good defense (dead monsters can’t hurt us) More damage = more kills = more experience, loot, and content cleared To do the most sustained damage versus an average of 5 monsters without running out of mana *Humongoid can replace Pile On for a small damage loss, giving a tank *Big Stinker can replace Pile On for a small damage loss, giving a tank + second element *Fetish Sychophants can replace Spiritual Attunement for a small damage loss, giving more tanks But I used this strategy during my first playthrough of the open beta weekend and had a blast, and compiling this also caused me to use skills/passives that I had previously neglected. This is not meant to be a guide, since there are still lots of assumptions. I included methodology and commentary at the end. I will play around with every rune and passive on my journey to 60, but will probably revert to this strategy or something close to it.
