I’m still pretty noob in terms of all the mechanics, so if someone could check my conjurer build for any faults, it would be really nice.
I don’t need help in regards to equipment and resists… More in terms of skills and devotions. I’m gonna use main hand and off-hand equip (most likely with storm totem modifiers). If I go 2-hand I will use 3 points in kraken. It’s a vitality, bleed caster with all the debuff I can get. No conversions other than anything that might convert to vitality or bleed:
Is POX a good option (for bosses) or should I consider other skills (like sigil or grasping vines). For trash I imagine I’m well off with debuffs and storm totems.
Blood pact is a bad option i’m guessing. The health drain won’t affect my spells right?
If I attach the devotion debuff skills to my totems, will they proc off me casting totems or off the totems attacking? (please please say both )
To what (attacking) spells should I attach my devotion skills/spells? Debuffing is the most important for me.
what would be my priority in terms of casting? Curse, storm totem (with devotion debuff skill), wendigo (with devotion debuff skill), devouring swarm, pox, etc ?
I hear this can be one of the most tanky classes. Is that mainly because of possession - absorption- and aspect of the guardian - phys resists - bonuses?
Don’t go with fevered rage unless you know what you are doing basically
Blood pact will just give you +100% or so vitality and bleed damage, the other things like flat vitality damage and lifesteal will not apply to your spells. I would pick up Second rite instead it gives you some free vitality resistance.
Yes you want Aspect of the guardian maxed, free physical and poison resist, insane good bang for the buck. You could lower points spent in black death.
Pox is not a good boss killer no. Not Grasping wines either, but it has some nice crowd controll incase you get swarmed.
Thx I know about uploading my actual (current) build, but as I mentioned i’m not that worried about resists and gear etc. Mainly some how’s and what’s in regards to spells and devotions since I haven’t tried occultist or for that matter a pure caster yet.
Ok so blood pact is still ok, for the modifiers i guess, although there might be better options.
Fevered rage… yeah forgot to ask about that. Probably best to leave it off (and let my slows work).
Aspect up and black death down… seems like a good suggestion
Yeah grasping is definately one I would consider over pox, for even more crowd control. I’m just not sure if I got the right spells against bosses, but I’m hoping all the debuffs and my dots will be sufficient without having to spam a nuke.
Second rite and solael are toggled skills and are for weapon attacks aren’t they? Since I will be focusing on casting, I won’t benefit much from them.
Still would like an answer for this one, if anyone knows:
If I attach the devotion debuff skills to my totems, will they proc off me casting totems or off the totems attacking or both?
I’ll just leave 14 points open and try stuff out i guess. Leaning towards vines or sigil unless any other suggestions. https://www.grimtools.com/calc/pZrqejMV
I want it to be a pure-ish vitality damage. I based the devotion points of some of the vitality conjurer builds i found in the compedium. However i dont think it outputs enought damage to deal with late game bosses and maybe even mobs.
Im around lvl 30 atm. Devouring swarm and storm totem max’d. Not sure why you are not taking storm totem with corrupted storm. You can also put a couple points in briathorn. Find that pets are very helpful during first 40-50 levels.
