[1.0.7.1] S&B Auramancer Tactician
FG Update
The build will be even safer and with slightly better offense:
- Mythical Stormheart has been buffed (OA, attack speed and electrocute damage)
- Reign of Ice/Fire Rings now have each a 8% adcth affix. That’s huge.
1.1.2.0: many changes in items and devotions. here’s my recommendation
<<<<<<<< GRIMTOOL 1.1.2.0 >>>>>>>>
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
back to the “old” build below.
CONCEPT
This is a transposition of my recent S&B Auramancer Purifier to Tactician.
Every item has either: chance on block, chance when hit, chance on attack or an aura.
Damage is mainly passive. This is a fake retaliation build based on auras and procs. Lightning is the main source of damage, then fire/elemental/chaos.
Fireworks !
GRIMTOOL
<<<<<<<< GRIMTOOL 1.0.7.1 >>>>>>>>
With toggles, Seal and Word of Renewal (no Deadly Aim, no Fighting Spirit).
VIDEOS
Procs on Dummy + Ancient Grove (first part)

DETAILS ON THE BUILD
[spoiler]MAIN DIFFERENCES WITH THE PURIFIER VERSION
Soldier instead of Demolitionist has obvious consequences : less damage for more defence.
The slight difference in damage orientation also influences equipment choices :
- Cindertouch provides a nice 25% fire to lightning conversion for our 3 main auras.
- Ekket’Zul Helm’s aura has been added.
- Stormheart for a lightning Cadence.
EQUIPMENT
Helm => +1 Aura
Chest Armor => +1 Aura
Amulet => +1 Aura
Weapon => Chance on Attack
Rings => Chance on Attack
Gloves=> Chance on Attack
Relic=> Chance on Attack
Shoulders => Chance when Hit
Pants => Chance when Hit
Boots => Chance when Hit
Shield => Chance on Block
Medal => Chance on Block
Belt => Chance on Block
GAMEPLAY
Like the Purifier version, this a fake Retaliation build. It’s a very easy build to pilot. Rush in with Blitz, debuff with K1 et K2 and let them die. And the more enemies there are, the more fireworks !
LMB Cadence (Hand of Ultos)
RMB Blitz
K1 Storm Box of Elgoloth (Elemental Storm)
K2 Word of Pain (Arcane Bomb)
K3 Overguard
K4 Word of Renewal
K5 Inquisitor Seal
DEVOTION
The classical trio for lightning builds (RR and damage) : Rhowan’s Crown, Ultos Shepherd of Storms and Widow.
Then, some defensive constellations : Solemn Watcher, Behemoth and Harvestman’s Scythe (also for QoL : energy regen.).
LOKARR
This is my final test when trying a build.
This Tactician makes this fight very easy but it is long … very long … 2 minutes, full face-tanking and health potions are optional. Almost as if I could go and grab a bier without hitting the spacebar.
Edit #2 - BIG CHANGES
I realised after playing the build in many situations that it wasn’t as solid as the Purifier variation. Aetherial titans/behemoths hit harder than Lokarr! I almost died in the Black Iron Docks quest, having the illusion to be invicible. I decided to make a few changes, relevant to the build mechanics:
[ul]
[li]Rings: Double Fire/Ice Rings instead of Elemental Balance set; better damage, better proc and stats.[/li]
[li]Changed one seal of resonance for one seal of might (for %physical resistance )[/li]
[li]Shoulders: Justicar for %health, armor, %physical res.[/li]
[li]The loss of the lighnting bolt proc is compensated by the addition of kilrian component.[/li]
[li]Devotion: I cut Scythe and Giant’s blood for more %shield block chance and recovery. Shieldmaiden and Targo’s Hammer (another proc’) are now included.[/li]
[li]Skill points: adjustments towards a max Shield Training.[/ul][/li]
With all these changes, AoM is now on cruise mode.

CONCLUSION
Again, like its little Purifier brother, this Auramancer build is greenless, very solid and provides some shiny fireworks.
I hope you’ll like it !
