[1.0.3.2] Full Aether AAR Spellbinder

NWSfszl.jpg711×545

These Builds share same concept with This Sorceress and This One
Convert all Elemental Damage to Aether Damage by using The Magelord Rings and Decree of Aldritch

All Elemental Damage (except DoT) in AAR will be converted to Aether, make these builds Full Aether AAR.
Beside that, CT and any other Elemental Skills will do more Aether Damage :

  • AAR (Full Aether Damage)
  • CT (Full Aether Damage)
  • IEE (Full Aether Damage)
  • Devastation (Full Aether Damage)

Devotion Skills also will do Aether Damage (I choose different devo skills for different variants) :

  • Phoenix (Full Aether Damage with 100% Aether Retaliation)
  • Arcane Currents (Full Aether Damage)
  • Spear of the Heavens (Full Aether Damage, except DoT Electrocute)
  • Arcane Bomb, and any other Devo Skills that has Elemental Damage :slight_smile:

Spellbinder has very nice synergy.
Passive Spectral Wrath’s Aether RR is so sweet !

We also have Aether Siphon Souls by taking Sear Souls that converts all Vitality Damage to Aether Damage :

  • Siphon Souls (Full Aether Damage)

Making this build more Full Aether ^^

[1.0.3.2] Full Aether AAR Mage Hunter - Spear of the Heavens

Q4R8PHd.png1111×624

In this setup, we’re using Aether Spear of the Heavens (All Lightning Damage will be converted to Aether)

Video : Fabius, Grava, MQ

Grimtools : Grimtools Link

Note : For more DPS, we should use Word of Pain’s Death Sentence, it has % Aether RR.
You can sacrifice some skills (ie. Inquisitor Seals or Callidor’s Tempest) if you can’t stand too much active skills, or still keeping those skills but invest some skills points in WoP’s Death Sentence (12/12) by taking points from Vigor / Steel Resolve

[1.0.3.2] Full Aether AAR Mage Hunter - Phoenix

B70S5iQ.png1111×623

In this setup we can take all Tree of Life, Spear of the Heavens, and Phoenix.
You can take all SotH last node and change weapon augment to Coven’s Terror or Ravager’s Eye for more health :wink:
Ravager’s Eye is very nice augments that will give you HP and DA (You need to make friend with Barrowholm faction to get this augments)

You can also use nice roll MIs if you want more HP

U have two points to remove on Callidor tempest
Also why not one point in mark of torment? great one pointer for defense

6

Another well-performing AAR build, nice =)
I used different setup, but ended with almost the same numbers

Great MQ and Grava kills. I don’t get why you don’t go for those juicy bonuses of full Iskandra’s set (1,3k armor seems squish af) or maybe use Codex of Lies for more RR.

EDIT: Also Iskandra’s Text got casting speed bonus which is a direct damage boost to AAR, isn’t it?

8

Also I think he should put point on ravenous earth -> decay, 25% dmg reduction is very good. 20 points Elementals balance is just a bit much when your aether build only has +1% crit benefit when its over 12.

9

leveling past onepointer Elemental balance is borderline useless for AAR build, the overall impact on DPS is close to zero.

10

Updated for Mage Hunter.
Will update for another variants

11

To many buttons to press.
You can take 1 point to mark of torment for more defense :wink:

12

Is there a version for druid ? I would appreciate it if there was :slight_smile:

13

Yes nice !
I see, you use Clairvoyant and also Diviner’s Raiment for Ele conversions :slight_smile:

You can also use Diviner’s Mask for getting Full Aether conversions :wink:

14

I don’t have Iskandra’s Text at the moment I made Spellbinder.
Already test it on Mage Hunter on 2nd post :wink:

15

ravenous earth, sure you can put points into it for defensive layer.
I just didn’t use it due to to many active skills.
AAR is chanelling skills, using other skills will interupt it.

Elemental Balance + Disintegration will give nice crit damage.
If only Aether has DoTs part…

Sure I’ll try it, Aether Storm Totem sounds interesting :wink:

16

Full Aether AAR Mage Hunter updated on 2nd post

17

How could be obliteration converted to aether compared to AAR?

18

Still AAR has more dps, but with Obliteration we’ll get Free Piercing Through AAR (Also converted to Full Aether) and we’ll have a lot of Skills Points :wink:

Here’s an example of Aether Obliteration

Yes, it’s available here :
