Is this another troll build suggestion? Maybe,…

Frankly, I am still toying with the idea of an (elemental?) AAR build that doesn’t pair with Devastation. I am also still struggling with the fact that the Arcanist mastery, specifically AAR builds, seems to gobble up skillpoints, leaving one with relatively limited options. This is the most recent product of ponderings:

Put a 2H melee weapon in one loadout, a 2H ranged weapon in the other, AAR under your RMB, and voila! Now you’ve got a whole lot of options. Maybe Thunderous Strike should be dropped though, to retain Primal Strike’s stun and max damage. Star Pact reduces the cooldown anyway.

AAR requires a focus to use doesn’t it?

Indeed it does. Both AAR and Obliteration require a focus. The latter is a granted skill by a focus.

The only ray that doesn’t require a focus is Conflagration

Awww,… bummer, totally overlooked that fact.

sigh, maybe I should just wait for the expansion, to see whether the new mastery will open up some more varied AAR build options.
