Hey there, always wanted to try some Arcanist/something Build.
I got almost no gear and checked the Build Compendium already.
AAR doesn’t look to appealing to me, but Callidor’s Tempest and Panetti’s do.
It doesn’t seem very obvious for me what builds would and wouldn’t work without specific gear, so that’s the part where i need help.
Callidor’s Tempest(CT) --> Sorcerer (+demo), Battlemage (+soldier. it is viable, but I don’t know will it be good.)
“Prepare you finger and button for spamming. :D”
Panetti’s Replica Missile (PRM) --> Sorcerer, Battlemage (Again, I don’t know will it be good.), Spellbreaker (+nightblade)
“Think about single dmg source carefully. It’s the only thing PRM lacking of”
PS. All caster builds aren’t gear dependent. Feels free to play them casually.
I’m playing a PRM build (90% Arcanist some Demolitionist). The trash clearing is insane and the fact that I play as a team with a friend of mine that can hold aggro a bit allow me to stand still and drop TSS and Devastation on the head of boss for total and stupid fast destruction. If you can get your hand on Eastern Set it will give you a strong skill for for 3 points as in total those 3 pieces will end up giving you something like +20 to the skill and his modifiers. Help greatly smacking the thougher ennemy
Was trying to tinker a CT Sorceress, but i’m pretty bad with Devotions, so would need guidance in that regard.
Here’s my draft so far: http://www.grimtools.com/calc/xZybzrNm
This’d be my suggestion. Always feels odd to suggest keeping Imp on your main damage source, but… Ends up doing well. It’s got no CD, so it can go off a LOT on spam style things like Panetti’s, Callidor’s, AAR… Threw in the notable Faction gear you can snag if you can’t come across anything better. I think there’s a couple different CT sets though, so hopefully you’ll be able to scrounge up better than this.
Hey thanks, especially for the faction gear suggestions.
Isn’t tree of life something i’d want as a squishy caster?
It’s nice, but not needed. Other handy healing/saving procs include things like, Turtle, Behemoth, Chariot… Sometimes Dryad, depending on the build. You can also get some gear and/or mastery procs as well. Generally you need multiple defenses, but WHICH is up to you.
CT Sorcs are tanks.
