My only gripe is that both Storm Totem and TSS require off-hand modifiers to operate at their maximum capacity, and the Wind Devil off-hand MI is absolutely necessary for QoL and having the extra Wind Devil for more damage. I guess if I take points from IEE, Stormcallerās Pact and Mogdrogenās Pact I can set Storm Totem to 18/16, but you get a breakpoint at 21/16 and thereās no way to get that without the aforementioned off-hand MI. Donāt get me started on TSS and how many points that would require for it to do damage.
If the equipment was there to support Storm Totem, Iād definitely do it, but the MI support is in direct conflict with each other. It would be interesting to compare 5 Wind Devils against 4 Devils + 3 Storm Totems, but as my characterās dead, I canāt exactly go out and test that.
I just meant this, taking from IEE and MP, donāt want to change your concept / gear. Your damage will be higher, on bosses youāll be able to have 3 Storm Totems permanently. They actually stack in contrast to the first node of Devils
Please consider moving it to Softcore and continuing. Btw I personally have like 4 Beginner builds in pretty advanced state but not wanting to commit the time to finish them
Iām considering it, but adding Storm Totems to the mix would make it feel like nearly an entirely new build. When would I add them to the mix? Level 50? Level 60? It would certainly impact the level-by-level skill order and what would result could be entirely different from the playstyle I had been using up to this point. Iām not entirely sure what I will do with the character at the time.
P.S. Hope one of those advanced leveling guides is a Sorcer-er / -ess as outside of Druid thatās the only combination that hasnāt been covered yet.
This has been a treasure of a resource for me, as I kept fooling myself by trying to play a finalised build from the start of the game. Thanks for all the guide authorsā work and I really hope this keeps being updated!
The beginner guide will be separated into two parts / posts - with and without detail leveling (journeys).
This means you can make a thread with just a budget setup with some decent testing and no leveling whatsoever and have it listed in the 2nd post.
If you want to be 99% sure that your guide is placed in the 1st post and not the 2nd, provide character snapshots (GT links) of your character at various levels from playing Main Campaign.
