I wasn’t going to make a pure arcanist, and this character probably won’t stay as one for long. But one day I was like… why not?
So here it is with nearly 10k hp and good resistances (didn’t think it was possible). Single target damage is nonexistent though

Nice! =) Btw, have you tried TSS instead of PRM ?
As long as Devastation is there, all is well :rolleyes:
Great work Jay;)
Nope. I went for PRM because I don’t have any PRM characters. I guess it wouldn’t be much to just swap in the Trozan’s set pieces. I might try it 
Just watched Ben fight. Why not using the burn from transmuted Callidor’s Tempest against him? Or Nullification to reduce his fire damage or untrap you? Why do you have pet attack on your skill bar? Just curious
I’m not sure what you mean with regards to Callidor’s Tempest. I only have it so I can knock down enemies that get too close. As for Nullification, I do use it on him in the video and pet attack is there so I can direct the Elemental Seekers around, though I never actually do it
Why do you even use Elemental Seekers? Wouldn’t Meteors or Healing Rain be better?
Also he means to use WoA Transmuter to add a DoT on Ben, to do that move some points into CT’s modifier to maximize base burn damage
I have elemental seekers and CT speced the way they are, because of where I plan to take the build eventually.
CT like that would mean having to get close to Benji and he could kill me. This character ended up waaaay tankier than I expected, but it’s still not that tanky
Lol, i agree CT’s range is sometimes a ball breaker, but I am sure you can tank ben, he hits like a girl (which is funny since Iron Maiden hits twice as hard as him and she is a girl and a human :rolleyes:)
Still why use Seekers on any build, did they buff it?
I think it may have been buffed a while ago. Part of why I use it is just the aesthetic. The other reason is that it can be really strong if you get loads of the seekers to proc.
It wasn’t shown at it’s best in the video since I have it on flash freeze and that skill doesn’t work on bosses and has reduced duration if the enemies are resistant to it. But I don’t plan on having Seekers on flash freeze for long 
Don’t know which version of Benn’Jhar are you fighting, but his regular pimp slaps have dealt close to 4k on some of my tanky characters. They become even dangerous in his enraged mode because he gets much faster.
Huh?
Only giants who hit like a truck are Moose and Shar’Zul, don’t know if Queen is a bug or a giant, but she hits hard as well
I think you’re getting shotgunned by his crystals, stay from them (or better yet trap him using them)
All of his attacks are actually pretty mild and near non-threatning with the exception of his melee attacks. Highest damage my tank Sorcerer has taken is near 5k and it was from a Benn’Jhar pimp slap because i noticed half of my Sorcerer’s heath just gone in an instant and he hadn’t summoned crystals yet.
The previous highest damage he took was 4,4k from Mad Queen.
RNG maybe?
Cause on almost my chars the highest damage taken is from Queen or Shar’Zul
I consider Ben to be the worst nemesis. Even Zantarin does more damage
Can’t really be RNG since he can’t crit me. 85% chance to hit me before he gets the OA debuff from BWC.
Seriously, what version of him are you fighting? His melee attacks are one of the main reasons why i pick Searing Light, just to avoid getting punched by him.
I find Valdaran to be the weakest Nemesis.
Well I haven’t played the game this patch after updating, so maybe i’m missing some buffs to him
