This is the build I had when I beat Merveil: Skill Tree
I let the Merveil fight get out of hand by letting too many minions spawn. That meant my Arc totems weren't necessarily hitting Merveil herself, which let her energy shield recharge, which just made the fight take a lot longer than it should have. In hindsight, a little less trying to shock her down quickly and a little more keeping the adds in check would have made things a lot easier. At one point I thought I was going to have to face the embarassment of going back to town to refill my potions, but I killed her first form right before I made the decision to get to my portal.
Fairly early on in the level, I was able to equip quite a bit of gear I had in my stash and max out my resistances. I was even able to add life and ES in the process, so it made progression through the zone pretty easy. There isn't anything special in the gear I was able to use, it's just solid leveling gear. I'm a bit overleveled, but I want to see how this character fares in maps. I'm not in a race, so I'm fine not pushing the limits of the character. I just want to level safely. Cruel Dominus is looming, and that's enough of a test.
I also went dual totem early on in the level, and that's working really well. I'm kind of curious to know how the first Dominus fight would have gone as dual totem, but I'll have to keep that in mind if I were leveling this or a similar build again. I had a Spell Totem gem in my stash, but it would be worth buying one if necessary so that you can start using totems right at level 31.
