A Fire Sigil stacking build with Guardians and Judgment as additional damage sources, probably mandatory for good DPS.
I decided to make this quick showcase because the AoE leech allows charging into big groups of enemies recklessly which speeds up the clearing considerably and make the build enjoyable to play.

Ravager

Crate by GT 1.1.9.7

SR 75-76

Callagadra is also doable but in a lame way because the vast majority of the 2nd phase fight would need to be under Aether Cluster influence, with a few Sigils prestacked before every usage so that you can hold your ground on your own for a bit. I can see also getting a bit more Physical resistance (devotion + Seal of Might) and doing the behind the :cactus: exploit facetank. Pierce / Bleed res armor augments needed.

Some gear / skills info

image

provide more damage, conversions and duration to the main skill.
You can take Conduit of Eldritch Whispers with -15% Elemental Resistance instead of the latter.

image

Blazeseer provides skill points for Sigil and Guardians and has a nice Meteor proc.
Can be gambled by transmuting other high level Epic set items which is quite cheap.

image

3 pieces of Justicar Guard allow Judgment to be a good source of damage in addition to its vacuuming ability.

image

Mythical Combustion Band adds points to Sigil’s subskill Destruction and lowers Fire resistance of enemies.

Other items chosen simply for their good stats.

All skills need to spammed as often as possible. Here I’ll only list the ones I have something to write about.
2.2s recharge and 13s duration allows stacking many Sigils on top of each other. You’re the most Vulnerable after casting just the 1st one.
It might be beneficial to use Pet Attack in SR to focus Guardians on single bosses / heroes
Vire’s Might together with Violent Delights from a medal augment provide excelent mobility.
Oleron’s Blood from component is used for 20% Damage reduction, Weapon Damage needed to benefit from Viper, devotion proccing, Total Speed.

Would you recommend this to a newbie? Any chance for a budget version? I very much like how there’s not a lot of buttons to press. :slight_smile:

I don’t. I specifically looked into this some time ago and decided that it’s not worth it.

Whoa, that was fast! Thank you so much for taking the time to reply!

Alright thanks! the search continues! heh. :slight_smile:

Have a look here Beginner build guides Compendium (for AoM + FG expansions)

I am looking at the same exact page right now, literally just found out after googling a few mins ago. So many builds. Maybe I’ll try out a bleed melee build, they look interesting. Thanks again tqFan!
