It is indeed really glassy, I wouldnāt take it into hardcore unless you love adrenaline (which is probably what hardcore players want )
Getting Mirror to 12/12 and not being shy about using it is a large part of the defence, as its cooldown gets really low. You can also aim for a Glacial/Thunderstruck prefix on your off-hand, physical resistance is very valuable and itās a good investment of your time as most Trozan builds will use that off-hand.
Anyway, congrats on the upgrades Dabuwa, things should get better now with that scepter (and nice OA lmao, enjoy the crits everywhere)
Ohh, nice - TSS budged build. My first character was spellbinder TSS and it was a failure so I respecced it but I never got the idea of nuking enemies with āice meteorsā out of my head.
Welp, itās time to make another altā¦
I always appreciate beginnerās builds because I love leveling with self-found gear and slowly āgrowingā your character. To me ājourneyā to level 100 is more important than end-game so every build that has ānatural power progressionā is always welcomed.
I want to say thank you for this build. Itās a blast to play as a new person to the game! Iāve tried some other builds as well, (not to mention many hours of gameplay just stumbling around) and this is surprisingly right up my alley (Iām more of a ranged killer ala D2ās Amazon, not a kite bomb).
And to the developers: I havenāt had this much fun with an ARPG since D2.
The devotions are where you can be creative, I chose to use the very high cdr of the build to stack healing devotions, but you can also do a more offensive setup including bat (that youād convert with a gargoyle belt) for healing, or as you wish, go for TD and abuse mirror as the main defence mechanism. I didnāt test those 2 last setups but they should work very well, so go ahead
Am I doing something wrong? Or are Blizzard and Haunt no longer able to be bound?
(Iād like to use Haunt instead of Bloody Pox as my Blizzard proc because of the longer range.)
Anyway thanks for the detailed guide. It was very easy to follow as a newbie.
Apparently such debuffs (same case for curse of frailty) canāt be bound to on-crit devotions (anymore?) even though they can crit. Pox has a different mechanic so I guess this one gets a pass. Iām pretty sure I saw a thread about that at one point but I canāt find it
Very much viable and improveable with the patch that just came out (OFF is now an incredible tool for the entire playthrough, Evade allows a more aggressive playstyle and thus build, more Nullification investment for comfortā¦)
For second mastery choice, that guide focuses on levelling the classic Trozan build, in the optic of using the eponymous set. Shaman would be the easiest and most obvious choice, occultist isnāt much different until you get the full legendary set. In the end, shaman will end up with a more kitey playstyle, while warlock will focus on keeping the enemies in sigils. And Mergos gave you broader options, you can find builds on the forum to see how they play.
Just returning to the game and am going to follow this guide as it seems like a fun choice with the added mobility. Will post updates at some point but thanks for what seems like a nice guide to get me back into the game again!
