[1.1.8.0] Albrecht the Leech - super tanky aether AAR Spellbinder, 3 versions, Ravager killer, very easy SR 80+

Either of them but I like the no set version the most. But getting that scepter is hard.

Thank you Duchy!

I think that variation of Off gonna getting moar hard (for exact pre and suffix, but i feel they are not mandatorial) :crazy_face::sweat_smile:

I’ll try them.

Thanks again! :slight_smile:

There are several combinations of possible affixes. And you can alwys reshuffle a bit other things like augments etc.

I have also managed to create a tanky fire AAR build. I will post it in a few days.

Hi, I am very interested in your build. Can u give a leveling guide based on your build please? Please do not push me away to beginner’s build…I just hope to level based on your build as it would be more challenging.

Man, you ask this under almost every build here.

There are many options. You can use a 2H weapon and Bone Horvest. Another Is aether Callidor’s Tempest and Devastation. Another is Olexra’s Flash Freeze and Fireball from component (later Conflagration relic - my favourite).

If you want a laser most of the time then do OFF + Firebal and from level 35 Conflagration. Around level 75 or 94 depending on items you have you can switch to AAR.

Ot you can even play the whole time with aether AAR but you will have to manage energy requirements and that is harder in the early levels.

Try out what you like. You can change it throughout the gameplay anytime.

Here is a thread about levelling Spellbinder. Just search the forum.

Thank u for your reply. Firstly, i would like to clarify…i am a player who always try out different build and when i am interested in a build…i would ask the same question which i did…
Till date since the launch of the game (though u stopped 2 years or so) i had created and deleted almost 100 toons and only a recent cabalist kept me playing till end game…the rest of my higher toons are either 60 to 80s only…
Secondly, i always ask the same question because i like to level based on others player’s build and not going for beginner build till high level and changing to the build that i desire. Thus, my question had been repeating itself throughout…
Please do not be offended or annoyed…i just wish to enjoy my own style of playing…
Thank you!

Well after this number of builds you should be a levelling expert. But it is OK to ask :slight_smile:

Apparently i am not…

Nice concepts, I like it :grinning: What was Ravager kill time?

I wrote it in the text. 3-4 mins with pharma. I didn’t timed it precisely.

Never got that scepter from the port, but I have a few from crucible and SR drops without trying. The Alkamos rings, on the other hand… do not drop in crucible or SR.

Very handy guide, thanks.

Out of interest, while it’s obvious you’d keep Haunt/Corruption/Ill Omen up full-time on bosses - do you use all 3 for general trash packs? If not, just Haunt? Haunt + Corruption? Save Ill Omen for tough mobs? Just trying to understand how this plays in your experience as far as the piano-ness.

I use all of them. Haunt and Corruption proc devos very good and Ill Omen has damage reduction. You don’t need damage reduction from Ill omen on trash mobs. So you don’t have to use it there.

I have a lot of items in the second build so that’s what I’m going to be going for. It’s going to be my first time playing both arcanist and necromancer and I’m planning on using RE for levelling. I see AAR uses Fire (which is converted to aether) and lightning in the second skill part that is converted to vitality. Does this mean the skill will do a combination of aether and vitality?

Yes, with the Clairvoyant set it does both aether and vitality. RE should be OK for the levelling.

Does the 2 seals on the weapon stack? Like do you need to cast them both on bosses?

No, they don’t. They are there for damage bonus and OA. Use only one.

I have updated this build to patch 1.1.7.0. This build was hit hard. The no set version was hit for 17 % less RR (helm and relic) and the other two versions for 7 % less RR (relic). Also of readiness suffix is no longer available on off-hands. So all 3 builds lost some OA and DA. I changed the suffix to of the aether for more DPS. They are still tanky and can kill Ravager but killing Ravager now takes more time because of more disengaging from facetanking in his second phase. This is surely one of the most hit builds this patch.

It never was…
