[1.0.3.1] Pure Casters with No Main Attacking Skill - Fun Builds with Passing Through Elemental Electrocute Beam

BRMGMuA.jpg1197×531

It feels cool when you can shoot passing through all enemies in line with a channeling single beam shot and your AoE spells do the rest :smiley:
Even if you can’t channel the beam due to interruption (or lazy), your AoE Spells still did a great job :wink:
Not to mention you have a lot of skills point to spare ^^

Now using both Elemental Storm and Wind Devil-Raging Tempest is not an anti mainstream idea anymore.
Crate did a wonderful change for Elemental RR in Raging Tempest :slight_smile:

Obliteration is not an AAR, it do less damage than AAR (but AAR can’t pierce through), so it needs other spells for support it’s damage.

There are a few builds before AoM using Obliteration :

Here are several New Pure Caster Builds with Elemental Beam from Tome of the Arcane Wastes
These Pure Casters are using Caster Gear, Caster Off-Hand, and no LMB Auto Attack Skills like Cadence or Savagery. You’ll feel really a Pure Caster.
Currently you can facetank Fabius with these builds, less kite on Mad Queen and Final Boss (Master of Flesh), Grava need to be kited.
These builds also nice for Port Valbury run.

I’ll add/update my new builds in this thread when they already tested.

Video : https://youtu.be/jw2MwZKdyHk (I have funny moment with Cronley’s Door - It didn’t allow me to enter the room)

This build also has strong Defense, thanks to :
Demolitionist
–> Blast Shield (Damage Absorption, Resistances)
–> Flashbang (CC)
–> Vindictive Flame (Stun, Health Regen, Total Speed)

Shaman
–> Mogdrogen’s Pact Line (Health & Energy Regen, %Health, Posion and Bleeding Reduction, Increase Health Regen)
–> Wendigo Totem (Our Main Healing Spells)
–> Wind Devil-Raging Tempest (CC)

Blast Shield makes us feel Strong, just throw Flashbang into pack of mobs, then cast our spells, shoot our Electrocute Beam.
You don’t have to worry to facetanking (except some special enemies), combination of Blast Shield, Mark of Divinity, and Wendigo Totem really makes you has strong defense. Just shoot everything with your Obliteration Ray !

Both of Pets Conjurer above are nice, they can facetank fabius without tonic of mending, suitable for farming Fabius Run :slight_smile:
Pets can alternatively used for additional Defensive lines :wink:

Thanks to lord_mayak for give me idea for Cold/Lightning Sorceress.
This is a Sorceress with Fire to Lightning Conversion from Cindertouch,
it doesn’t give us full Fire to Lightning conversion. But it’s never bad idea since our primary damage here is Lightning :slight_smile:

Mad Queen, Fabius, Master of Flesh, and Kuba had been tested.

  • Mad Queen, play safe with Nullification and Mirror. Nullification her Red Glowing Aura
  • Fabius, use Miror when active. Chaos Strike/Obliteration for clearing mobs
  • Master of Flesh, use Chaos Strike for transfer position to mobs/boss, Mirror, and you can also use Nullification for yourself (Clearing AoE Damage)
  • Kuba, you need to properly aim TSS in right direction, since we will do a lot of manuever for avoid its pools, use Mirror when active

For Fire Burn Phoenix Sorceress, check here

Leveling :
I’ll try to pointing out some points for leveling up :

  • You can leveling with Greater Fireblast (LMB) (Flintcore Bolts component socketing into guns, crossbows, or caster off-hand) combine with Conflagration (Trascendent Relic that gives Conflagration skill)
    Conflagration can be place on RMB and use it for bosses.
    Use ectoplasm if needed on rings, and Arcanist Mental Alacarity is also welcome
  • Take OFF (Olexra’s Flash Freeze) from Arcanist, it has great Fire RR and nice CC for mobs/trash
  • Take BWC and High Potency modifier for defensive layer (BWC can reduce enemies OA significantly)
  • Don’t forget Blast Shield if you have enough skill points
  • Take Meteors Shower (Ulzuin’s Torch Devo Constellation) for clearing speed
  • 1 point to Mirror or more for 3 seconds invincible mode
  • 1 point to Maivens’s Sphere or max it at least 14/12
  • Nullification can saves your life a lot. It can be used for clearing AoE damage taken by your toon (Also can dispell enemies spells like Reflection or Cronley’s Bubble)
  • Sorceress generally very good for Fire Burn Builds. It has very nice support Skills. Levelling should be easy.
    OFF, Thermite Mine, Flashbang, BWC can make your toon clearing so fast. Glass Canon build while leveling is Fun !
    I ever leveling with this one : https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/2941

I think you have become obsessed with that off hand:rolleyes:
Looks good

On a side note I’m hoping to try pure Aether version of Obliteration at some point

Yes, that already in mind using gear for full aether conversion, like magelords rings and Decree of Aldritch :smiley:

10

Are you using trozan set just for proc? Modifier to wind devil? Percentage boost for lightning? Mythical only has 1 fallen comet now and there are way less sky fragments on other related gear. No more sky is falling.

11

Initially I want to use light defender sets.
But combining between Mythical and non mythical doesn’t give bonus set.
So I go to Trozan Sets.
Yes it’s for lightning boosting and also give nice bonus to wind devil.

12

Yay TeeZee is back!

13

LoL, you should have busy repairing Cairn Bridge :smiley:
Aetherial invasion on Malmouth and other parts of Cairn make more Bridges to Repair :stuck_out_tongue:

Vindicator Build Updated, Elementalist Build added.

15

Adding Conjurer Builds on Post#3 :

  • Without Pet
  • Raven’s Healing
  • Briarthorn Physical Shield

Cheers :slight_smile:

16

Which is your favorite?

17

I like Vindicator, Elementalist, and Raven Conjurer.
Need to try Druid and Warder version :slight_smile:

18

Wondering how my sorcerer version will fare now that I have the expansion.

19

Currently I still in testing phase on Warder.
Warder has more Health compare with other mastery combination.

I’ll try and test the Sorcerer
Sorcerer seems tanky enough with Blast Shield, BWC and Mirror :slight_smile:

20

Yeah, had my sorcerer version at endgame before the expansion, will just need to level it and test it in the new content, and get the mythical gear. It was definitely viable before before the expansion.

Trying a different skill setup than what I had before, sky shard to proc elemental storm (and freeze), and flashbang on LMB for CC and DA reduction. And thermite mine for extra RR when needed (not usually needed). Seems to be working well so far.

Here’s where I’m at currently (lv 85): http://www.grimtools.com/calc/YVW9wkGN
