Getting Hammer Spin onto Tier 1 early on is great just to increase your running speed by a decent amount, but if you’re struggling (especially while playing on higher difficulties) don’t do that for now. You also want to invest an early point into Blasting Charge as well as all the other skills mentioned in the picture below – so basically use one point as soon as you can, but don’t bother investing more until later on. Even without the Respectacles doing so is recommended to rush through the earlier levels until you finally can start skilling Blood Seekers. If you already have some Respectacles lying around from previous characters, feel free to invest your first few skill points either into Spinning Blade or Pound and refund them later on.

The main reason why this build is so strong even during the earlier stages of the game is the strong damage and healing of the Blood Drinker relic, especially the Blood Seekers ability, which is the first skill you want to max out. How to Skill for the ‘The Bloody Tank’ Railmaster
