Incinerate. 1 mouse button leveling.
I 100'ed a minion Necro and a Bash/Double Swing/Dust Devil Barb and then started a Sorc after watching an Incinerate Sorc in a couple of Blood Maidens. I have a buddy who is a 100 Sorc who plays Sorc exclusively every Season/Game ever and he was Frozen Orb, then Blizzard/Ice Spike, and another buddy also 100 who went Ball Lightning this season. I went Incinerate + all Pyromancy and its been the most fun leveling I have had (The Barb is fun but not have an Invuln like Flame shield even with 60K life means you (well, I) die more often and with Ring of Sacrilegious Soul the Minion Necro practically plays itself.

I love the Incinerate/Meteor (with Starfall Coronet, Free Meteors every 7 Sec, plus with Aspects I have meteors on Inferno, plus Meteorites with all the above). Inferno Firewall. Hydras and Burn Dmg over time on everything. It's so much fun. Once I start to masterwork everything I have a perfect Fractured Winterglass I may switch this guy to a Frozen Orb and Conjuration/lightning spear build but now its Nitzer Ebb Fire Fire Fire on everything.

Where can I find a guide for Incinerate?

There weren't any on maxroll.gg when I started mine but now there are a few floating around: While I find some of the others, Here is one from Rage Gaming Videos to get started:

OMGosh, if you make a fun game focusing on the players and not the shareholder metrics, players will play it. News at 11.

Sad part should be them realizing how much money they lost in player retention and sales if they just released it like this in the first fucking place.

Then realize how much free retard money they could have made on Barbie doll dress up skins by not making every character look like a troon created in Clayfighter 64.

picked up unsung ascetic wraps and earthbreaker ring from goblins, storm slide not the strongest build but sure blows up the screen good.

Yep it's nice to finally play Diablo 3.5. Too bad these queermos probably see this and are scheming a way to shove a big corpo dick down are throats for the next week.

When do you guys usally switch from Leveling build to "Endgame" build?
Soon as I get lvl 925 items that are clearly good. As Barb if I get any 925 helm with...CDR, and a good greater affix like strength, I will upgrade that with long term in mind.

Depends on what you mean by endgame build. Like I'm leveling a sorc now and I switched to the endgame version of the incinerate build a couple Helltides after hitting T4 because I have a Shako and Tal Rasha ring and getting the right rolls on the other slots is fairly simple. I wouldn't even think about a swap to the real 'endgame' sorc build (the immortal flame shield one) until I was level 100 with all the 925 gear for it ready to go. You can't play that build without nearly perfect gear because it simply doesn't work otherwise. If flame shield drops, you die.

On the rogue, thanks to leveling in NMDs from about 70 on, I was in full 925 actual-endgame build before level 80. Sorc is so much weaker than rogue that there's no way I could even think about doing 91-100 NMDs that early.. not sure offhand what the min is to guarantee the 925 drops but whatever it is I doubt the sorc could do it either. Barb and necro would probably have been similar to the rogue, had I figured out the leveling process earlier in the season. Druid is just as shit as sorc and probably wouldn't have come together until the mid-90's at the earliest.

What build is that you switched to? I got both of those items as well and I'm like 75 or so.

I have the Soulbrand and Tibault's Will ready to go when I hit 80 so I run the uber version just with a normal ring. Doubt I'll ever get a Ring of Starless Skies, since this is about the only build I see use it and if I ever craft a second uber it'll be a Tyrael's to make one of my characters into a real speedrunner.

I'd like to switch the sorc to Blizzard or Frozen Orb instead since I think incinerate is pretty weak outside of being a turret that stands on the maiden spawn point, but I'm lacking uniques and/or aspects for those still. I'll definitely find a way to switch if the build doesn't drastically improve with the addition of the last two uniques at 80. More likely, I'll just max my wolf rep, hit 100, and then go back to deciding whether to go all-in on rogue or barb. They are just so much stronger than everything else (aside from necro, but it bores me too much to use as anything but a boss-deleter).
