FOREWORD
I was thinking to (re)start playing GD in FoA, but as it seems it will took a while, i thought: know what? Why don’t start now? You’ve to start from zero after all. You can farm now and have some characters ready to hit FoA when it comes out.
So i started with the idea of making a warder, but after seeing wind devil working I decided to make something with them. The idea of a elementalist popped up.
Now here I am, not lurking anymore.
Build updated. I found new stuff, changed devotions, reassigned skill points/attrib etc etc. The core idea is the same.
Have to say, I tested some off-hand but i didn’t like them. The physical resist loss is too noticeable.
Now I find the build it more reliable than before. Not a life-changer but it does his work.
PREVIOUS BUILD → worse casting speed from relic. Videos were made with this.
UP-TO-DATE BUILD → Now with chariot and hawk constelations!
DEFENSE:
- Good resistances, armor and physical resistance
- Good health regen, lifesteal for stun jacks
- Blast shield + giant’s blood means you’re immortal for a while
- Good DA
OFFENSE:
- Capped storm totem and stun jacks
- Various RR sources
- Good OA
- Good AoE
- Capped casting speed
GEAR:
First of all: yes, there are 5 greens. I don’t use GD stash, so it was tough acquisitions.
-Medal and greaves are crafted. Didn’t like the purples i had, so i went to the blacksmith and i spent obscene ammounts of iron and stuff trying to get something good. The outcome wasn’t bad.
-For the rings of gollus, ulraprax’s amulet and the chains of ordasI had to farm them until getting something matching this criteria: 1 rare, functional affix and 1 normal, functional affix.
PERFORMANCE:
-Almost all the campaign bosses and nemesis are doable. Only enemies i can’t do are some of the celestials
-About celestials. Lokarr and clones are easy fights.
-Mogdrogen was easy too, but had to change the ulraprax’s amulet for the celestial stone of Halakor.
-Shattered realm: I can do the 30-31 shards easily. I made 20 runs in a row and all of them was on time. Yes, i had 3 deads, each one in a different run, but they were because piloting mistakes (2 times failing in manage nemesis in non-boss chunks and one because i wasn’t paying attention to the screen XD). I still managed to end those runs on time.
-Callagadra, Ravager (of souls) and crate are no-no. Honestly I just don’t know how to make this work against them.
-Crucible. It isn’t my cup of tea, so i don’t play it usually. Can’t tell anything.
AFTERWORDS
I’m considering the build “completed” as I can farm SR and (near) all the bosses i wanted. Farming the greens left me little burned with this build. I guess i’ll plan my next character and use this Elementalist as a “stuff provider”/Farmer. God save me of greeens
VIDEOS:
Roguelike dungeons:
Mad Queen:
Lokarr (2 times):
Clones:
Mogdrogen:
Shattered Realm 30-31, 3 runs:
. I didn’t notice any dmg loss so i thought it was working. I’ll go back to Ulthos and look what’s going on.
… and try the green. Another one to the list XD
