a bit triggered by the lack of null but god damn, thatâs an unreal result mate and very tight build! I wonder what Plasmo couldâve done with it if you managed 4:56. Probably another 4:15 build )
With Malawiglennâs Lightning AAR Mage Hunter beginner build guide pulled off of the forum, what would you say is the best extant leveling guide for a Lightning AAR Mage Hunter build at the moment? How would you say BOGâs guide compares to Malawiglennâs guide?
Basically, Iâm just looking for a good beginnerâs guide to putting together a Lightning AAR Mage Hunter as a starter characterâsomething to help provide some direction for a starting player in leveling, gear farming, and putting together a build like this.
I guess I am also confused about why there are so many points put into Spirit in this build when the beginner guides tend to suggest putting as much into physique as possible outside of gear requirements. Does that have to do with the choices of gear in this build that a beginner/budget build might not have available? (i.e. beginner builds use physique dumps to work better with lesser gear, but this build has gear that works particularly well with a spirit dump, or something like that?)
Malawiglenn is the master of the beginners guides but Bogâs Mage Hunter is good too.
Well physique is the most important attribute giving you both defensive ability and health. For most builds itâs worth to invest most of the points there. Thatâs especially true for budget builds which canât have as much DA or health as some end game builds.
Spirit dump is something which is happening a lot recently on elemental based casters. Spirit gives you big % damage boost and covers energy regeneration too. So for end game builds itâs the best way to proceed. Furthermore Arcanist have Inner focus, which gives you massive %spirit bonus and gives you even more reasons to take flat spirit.
But leveling and end game are different concepts. Plus itâs up to players to decide. Bogâs build with Light Defender for example is gimped, cause you can reach a point where youâre over invested in defense and best way to use AAR with this Pulsing shard is to dish big damage and to utilize itâs attack damage converted to health mode.

Itâs a joke, but you could see some cheap gear I used and different slightly defensive devotion route. But also spirit investmentâŚ
Well I have posted beginners build for Mage Hunter but not AAR.
The key if you want to level with AAR is to have enough energy regeneration, cause AAR is energy hungry. So you need 4x energy components like Ectoplasm and some energy affixes on gear. I usually find stuff like ââInsightââ that can help you. So you can start with Olexra+Fireblast from component or Words of Pain and later switch to AAR.
About gear youâll need the green MI to work as lightning build and rush to the end of Inquisitor mastery to take Aura of Censure, devotions your priority is RR, so start with Elemental Strom and work your way to Widow. Thatâs for lightning AAR of course.
Best build I tried so far with my mage hunter⌠but donât have perfect gear yet. The damage is awesome. But (and I know I must be a bad player and doing something wrong), Iâm still always having a hard time staying alive with this class⌠even with my resist at 80%. Most of the time, it seems Iâm pretty âtankyâ, but with some monsters, I get completely recked⌠like with the boss in the cellar in gloomwald. I died 3 times in a row!!! Must be doing something really wrong⌠Think Iâm gonna keep playing with my pet conjuror⌠less frustrating.
I wonder if the Lightning AAR is better than the Fire AAR version? Iâve got the end-game equipment for both and leveled with Lightning (but just lvl 70 or so, didnât touch the toon in a while).
AAR was nerfed actually pretty hard but weapon is somewhat better, cause it gives you more versatility when it comes to gearing, you can change one ring and still reach full conversion for example. Build should be good enough.
