🔰 Beginner Build Compendium - 91 guides for AoM & FG expansions

[Maya]

if someone wanted to add his guide from an external source like

TBH I should remove Mayas pet builds for consistancy, because not even I can find them… linking to her compendium “the carnival” should be enough.

Even I can’t find half my builds

(I do tend to tag them with “maya” though)

But considering that most are outdated at this point and my beginner builds and stuff are all in that carnival thread, linking that is the better solution

Also, glad to see this thread and waiting for when Ulvar1@tm builds start appearing

Welcome to the forum, hope you find something fun to play!

Added Dragons warder

[1.1.8.1] Beginner's Lightning Warder

[warder_promo] Introduction Congratz, everyone. One of the most recommended builds for beginners since times immemorial now has a guide available, in dragon quality to boot. I have quite a history with Primal Strike, it was one of my most favorite skills in vanilla, but one can level just that many characters with it before getting weary. Beginner’s Lightning Elementalist was the first beginner build I posted a whooping three years ago. I always regretted the class choice I made back then, it…

Added Salvors deceiver

Beginner's Vitality Ignaffar Deceiver

Ignaffar Deceiver from scratch [image] https://www.grimtools.com/calc/4VxjO95N Introduction Among many beginner guides on the forum there are no Deceiver ones, so today we will fix this unfortunate accident. Deceiver (Inquisitor+Occultist) has quite a bad reputation, both masteries are known for being good support masteries lacking strong offensive skills. Furthermore even if Occultist has elemental RR the mastery has no other elemental synergy thus rendering the most obvious damage…

i made a little ‘available beginner guides “bingo card”’ just for lulz (based on what i’ve seen avail here)

mentalist is marked “” because Moncc/Stupid_Dragon was doing one i think i saw?

… 30/5/2022 edit. updated the bingo card

[fordprefect]

LoL no one did SSF Bleeding Archon before? https://www.grimtools.com/calc/wV1B4onZ Here is the idea, I never made such build and don’t know all the faction gears so it probably can be improved but not sure about sustain since damage mostly will be DoT.

You are of course free to do it yourself

LooL that’s looks very cool and has -%168 Vitaliy RR…

[Ulvar1]

Can get Stag instead of panther for more phys res too. And then farm dark one and get 2 Wendigo totems (and then 4 guardians…) Can be fun to make I guess, its like pets but not really xD

Nice one!
Lol turns out we have Apostate now, missed this one.

I saw you wrote “no one will ever be stupid enough to follow it” but I was stupid enough to make one lol

I was almost baited to make one once or twice myself, so I’m not far off.

[Ulvar1]

I could have saved myself 8-10h of pain by leveling with WoP and Box but I was baited to level with drein essance from the start to make build count.

[Retal_Abuser]

Should have dual wielded Blugrugs axe to get full conversion and play Vit WoP and Blood Box, or play typical RE with bonerspikers (:

[Ulvar1]

Bloody pox on apostate

[Retal_Abuser]

Blood box = vit storm box, though it only slightly changes to red if you sue the conduit.
Also glad you removed the green text, it’s kinda hard to read.

[Ulvar1]

Convert electrocute to bleed

Vitality builds ResidentalSleeper

[Evil_Baka]

Leafmane off-hand would also work if going Storm Box/WoP caster. Keeps the conversion and RR. Pre-Chillwhisper Cold DE/Hagarrad shouldn’t be hard to piece together either I don’t think.

I’m surprised we have no current beginner guides for Druid, Witch Hunter and Sorcerer . I guess they’re all no-brainers for the community that no one’s bothered to write anything conclusive for 'em.

yet Dragon made PS warder

[Nery]

Hmmm Druid and Sorc are missing , very strong classes! Guess Bomb Sorc and TSS Druid are possible. Funny enough I have sketches for both as well as Witch Hunter. Only class I am not interested in is The_Filer
