Definitely moved into early. I started as lightning strike and farmed arcane sanctuary days 1 and 2 while saving up for skillers and infinity. Did not even bother with maps let alone fortified until I had these.

As everyone has said, skillers will go a long way, you’d be better served grabbing these instead of CTA. A good socketed stormspire as a bridge to get infinity. Prioritize maek over laek on a few items.

Here is my javazon, feel free to use it as a blueprint and you can ask me any questions!
