Overview

This Infiltrator Leveling Build's main focus is building up high SP (Spell Power) to boost the damage done by Mine ThrowMine Throw and Carpet BombingCarpet Bombing in order to deal high AOE damage to groups of mobs and have an easy time leveling once you are out of the first 10 levels and grinding mobs becomes more time efficient than running back and forth doing quests.

CamouflageCamouflage: More so an utiltiy skill than anything else, it allows you to become invisible and avoid mobs that way. However, there is also the other side of the skill which empowers your auto-attacks instead whenever you are in combat and you use the skill.

Mine ThrowMine Throw: This is the main damaging skill of the build that you should max out first. It has two charges and it plants a mine onto the ground, after a second, the bomb activates and any mob walking over (or being lured into) will take high damage and also bleed for some extra damage. However, you can also use Mine ThrowMine Throw directly on top of mobs and it will explode immediately but won't apply the bleed dot damage.

Carpet BombingCarpet Bombing: This is the secondary damaging skill as it does AOE damage and roots enemies in place making it easier to control the mobs and set up your Mine ThrowMine Throw.

Street ViolenceStreet Violence: While this skill doesn't do much damage as the build lacks AP (attack power), it can still be used to finish off enemies. The most important part is that Street ViolenceStreet Violence executes targets when they are low HP. The percentage of HP needed for the skill to execute is based on Spell Power, which means more Spell Power will increase the percentage treshold.

Assassin's EdgeAssassin's Edge: This skill allows you to throw two daggers and deal damage from a distance. While the damage is quite low on a SP build, it can still be useful for luring mobs into Mine ThrowMine Throw. Similarly to how Street ViolenceStreet Violence works, Assassin's EdgeAssassin's Edge does more damage based on how much missing health the mob has.

Mana BoostMana Boost: Crucial for leveling and sustaining your mana, especially with how much mana you need when playing Infiltrator. Use it whenever it’s off cooldown, especially when running low. Managed well, it can keep you going for long periods without needing consumables.

HealHeal: Equally valuable, this skill is perfect for leveling and can save you in situations where you’re taking heavy damage.

Runes: Vigor-commonVigor and Wind-commonWind are excellent choices for leveling and improving spellpower throughout the leveling process. They provide a stacking spell power increasing buff and add extra damage tick on a low cooldown. Upgrading to Intensity-epicIntensity or Cold Wind-epicCold Wind isn’t necessary, though you can pick them up if they drop for you or come up at a good price on the marketplace.

Gear: Magic Circle-uncommonMagic Circle and Matter Shaker-uncommonMatter Shaker are both strong options for leveling. While Matter Shaker-uncommonMatter Shaker can be hard to get early, it becomes easier to find as you progress and you can find cheap good roll ones on the marketplace too.

With the max level currently being 20, it is unrealistic to assume anyone would have much more than 15 weapon mastery before or at fresh level 20. If, for some reason you have more than that, consult the PVE Ranger Build for more.
