Preface
I proudly present to you an original concept I made when I am first studying the conversion mechanics of the game. I found that using mythical Iskandra’s Focusing Prism + weapon conversion + weapon component + 17/12 Iskandra’s elemental Exchange can yield 100% physical to elemental conversion.
This is a berserker build without hard circuit breaker and without absurdly high DA that can kill enemy so fast due to the mix damage nature of the build. There are no nemesis that has full resistance to the tri-elemental damage.

- Dual wield melee
- No mobility skill
- Most of the time need to stand still in Inquisitor Seal
- OK CC resist, it is enough for finishing no buff and banner 150 Crucible though.

Equipment Choices
Core Items:
Iskandra’s Unification Set minus the off-hand
Main Hand + Off Hand: 2x Bargoll’s Heart. Build defining items, adding 24% Elemental RR to word of pain. Preferred prefixes are the one that can convert physical to elemental and gives flat elemental damage, “Enchanter’s” prefix is BIS for its flat elemental damage and good procs. For suffixes, “of Scorched Runes” is the best for overcapping Aura of Censure and gives additional flat elemental damage; other option can be “of arcane balance” to overcap inquisitor seal
Medal: Mythical Direwolf Crest. For dual wielding
Rings: Elemental Harmony set. Adding additional flat damage to fire and cold, really good procs
Relic: Scourge. Build defining relics, get %DA for completion bonus
Others:
Belt: Mythical Scales of Beronath. +Inquisitor seal and +Inquisitor, good multiplier to elemental damage, +crit damage
Gloves: Mythical Runesinged Handguards. +DA, +Attack Speed, +% Elemental damage
Pants: Mythical Fateweave Leggings. I absolutely love this pants because of its procs, mainly to further overcapped our resistances when dealing with enemy debuff. In addition, it also gives plus to the skills we use
Boots: To cover resistances.
Devotions
We will be taking most of the flat elemental damage we can find in the constellation. For procs, we will take the best of the best procs for elemental damage, which is Ulzuin’s Torch, Blind Sage, and Fiend:
- Flame Torrent --> What is better to celebrate the huge weapon damage and elemental damage multiplier? Flame torrent of course!
- Viper --> Important Type 2 elemental RR
- Elemental Storm --> Staple for RR and flat elemental damage
- Ghoulish Hunger --> soft circuit breaker that really fit to this build who need to always stand their ground
- Arcane Barrier --> Decent defensive procs, it was taken mainly for the flat elemental damage though.
- Meteor Shower --> Really good fire damage procs, it also deals huge flat physical damage that will be converted to elemental.
- Elemental Seeker --> Really good elemental damage procs that deal huge flat elemental damage with low CD.
For sequence:
- Crossroads Red
- Fiend, bind to Storm Box of Elgoloth
- Viper
- Quill
- Toad
- Rhowan’s Crown, bind to Word of Pain
- Crossroads Yellow
- Crab, bind to Maiven’s Sphere of Protection
- Scholar’s Light
- Hawk
- Crossroads Green
- Blind Sage (to procs only), bind to beronath’s fury
- Ghoul, bind to Iskandra’s Elemental Exchange
- Ulzuin’s Torch (to procs only), bind to inquisitor seal
- 1 point Spare, I pick the first node of Empty Throne for stun resistance

Build Explanation and Performance
This build utilize the Iskandra set fully. Apart from the full physical to elemental conversion, Iskandra provide insane 55 flat elemental damage to Inner Focus + 30 flat elemental damage from its amulet procs that will always active due aura of censure. For weapon, bargoll’s heart is the best for its super high physical damage, flat elemental damage, and RR modifier to Word of Pain. Good prefixes and suffixes are needed for optimal build though. Scourge relic is used for its highest %weapon damage attack that utilize both weapons, it also deal cold damage and nice ADCTH that really valuable for this build. Components on weapon are utilized for giving us additional nuker (sacred strike) and reliable way to procs elemental seeker (beronath’s fury), also converting the physical damage to elemental.
MageHunter itself has so many source for flat elemental damage from Iskandra’s Elemental exchange and Arcane Empowerment. Also, full flat physical damage from steel resolve get converted to elemental. Quick pic on the build maximum damage dealt:
The build can consistently and easily clear 150 Crucible with no buff and banner. Beware of Zantarin and Mad Queen though, as it can shotgun you to death, I suggest to use nullification when their aura is active and mirror to stand your ground.
Regarding its performance for 151++, I finish 169 on my first try using 4 buff + Vanguard Banner, I died to Theodin because I am trying to approach him and going out of inquisitor seal’s range. Well, the build will surely be able to deal with 170 in the next patch when the dev buff the buff and banner of crucible. For now, I will be moving next to polish my other builds.
Afterword
Thank you for the attentions. I hope you guys can enjoy this build as much as I do
