Best class to go along with TSS as main skill?

What class would be best to go along with TSS as main skill? Right now I am using pure cold version on TSS with the 100% conversion MI but don’t have my heart set on it if lightning can be much better.

Also what devotions are good to link with it? Whilst I go cold right now heading for rumor, I really can’t stand arcane bomb would like to avoid it if possible.

TSS and Sigil of Consumption Warlock with Trozan set is pretty sexy. Pretty tanky and nice damage. Plus blue Sigil.

Wow would have never thought to mix it with occultist the conversions you can get are wild

Wow, that one by @Valinov looks great - missed seeing it! Really tanky with Sigil and the conversions are excellent. Wish the cast speed was slightly higher though.

Yeah, I often use the potion that gives 10% cast speed. Every bit counts when cycling skills like that. I believe I’m at 162% in game with that. Also worth pointing out in that video I was trying to use eternity with a shield :sweat_smile:. Iskandras balance fits much better for relic. More cast speed could be added on amulet slot too with seal of annihilation.

I plan on trying to juice even more damage into it to see just how fast it can go.

I think it’s the +5s duration to Sigil that’s the highlight of this build.

I like the full aether to cold on serru too… when bound to sigil it gives a pretty constant stream of 3-5 currents up

You don’t need cast speed for TSS, you need cooldown reduction

This is my absolute fav in this patch, it’s a lot less squishy than it seems at a first glance if you properly pilot it and watch for defensive cooldowns.

And TSS is the real star here, in a tri-elemental environment with heavy spirit dump.

Sadly arcane bomb is required here, because lightning is the biggest part of your tri-elemental damage.

I must rewatch the video then. The multiple Sigils hypnotized me and I couldn’t pay attention to anything else.

It doesn’t if you would cast it alone but when cycling multiple skills as Valinov said it helps with smoothness and a skill can get delayed or even sometimes is not registered because of others.

Sorc and Druid are the best. Warlock is the easiest until some real tryhard

Widow is for aether / lightning, and is necessary for any build focusing on either of those dmg types

Rumor is for cold / acid, and is equally needed like the abovetake a look at the Rolderathis Tome, it’s farmable from the beginning, and boosts cold tss

If I might steal the topic a bit and ask since it’s all about my favourite TSS:
I’m in love with TSS/OFF Spellbreaker.
Found this build:

Somewhere in the forums. It’s amazing but I find it hard to pilot. Could anyone help me make it a bit beefier/more resilent? Or any tips piloting it? I seem to never have Mirror up when needed, and die pretty often.

Changed some stuff around for 215 more DA (1 prefix, 1 component, various augments)
Also improved a bit weakest resists like Fire, Chaos and Vitality
Surprisingly even Health improved by 250 which I have a tendency to screw up

1 more thing I should have changed is Mark of Mogdrogen to Enchanted Earth in the boots for more Armor because without it only 3% MS is missing (and this is when Wraith Walk is off but it should be working very consistently with Time Loop and Hourglass) from Maximum MS but you can get it with above average rolls or craft bonuses.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that as a passive item skill, Wraith Walk is unaffected by Time Loop and Hourglass.

Yes, I know that just a stupid mistake. It it worked on item procs it would be insanely unbalanced.
