I am currently running dualwielding Blademaster, pierce dmg.
I would like to try a caster - something viable, spammer maybe, I hate cooldowns, something like TQ ice shards. What would you recommend as my second toon?
And skills that are not based on weapn dmg do they perform ok later on?
There should be something for single target and some AoE.
And skills that are based on weapon dmg are better in scaling in later difficulties?
And what about ranged toons? For selffound a caster or ranged would be easier? primal strikes look cool but the cooldown is long.
If you want something forgiving and still fun i recommend you standard battlemage(arcanist/soldier) with Callidors Tempest (CT) and Albrechts Aether Ray (AAR). I started this game 4 Weeks ago with this choice and overall its fun(currently act1 Ultimate), but i can happen you die when you dont pay attention, or test things out. As long as you dont care about things like death counter there is no strict plan just play as you like and see what works for you. Just one tip, dont put too much points into spirit later on. Maybe there is a better way(there is surely one… =P ), but yeah that was mine so far.
Edit1: For reference i currently do 5,1k dps with CT and 15,2k with AAR and 25-30min for BoC full clear, still trying to farm good/fitting equipment, since i got mostly epic stuff with some legendaries and even 3 rares xD
PRM + Devastation Arcanist, murder things before they reach you till elite , play careful with OFF & mirror in ultimate till you get good gear. Second class is your choice
and see what works for you. Just one tip, dont put too much points into spirit later on. Maybe there is a better way(there is surely one… =P ), but yeah that was mine so far.
