Never mind what i said here, i think it’s time to quit
The only thing i haven’t done is make a BM, and i failed the last time i tried. So nothing more to do i guess
1- thing to add vs valdaran,
a) you can nullify his lightning resist reduction debuff, to make this X2 usefull; stay close to him reduced his ele dmg + nullify his debuff together
2- no1 said that you cant use devastation with a shieldyou just cant cast it, just weapon swap with an offhand cast devestation and go on…
but ofc if you dont want to use devastation in your build i can totally understand it.
ps: i dont think CT builds can match PB clearspeed or dmg vs bosses… i have seen 1 youtube videoand even has guide here nearly bis gear CT guy clearing valbury and he claims EASY?
meanwhile decently geared PB spellbreakeror trickster is generally clearing X3 faster than EASY CT build i guess this could enlighten this matchup
I did say in the guide you can switch b/w War Cry and Nullify since both work in reducing his damage.
What do you mean i can nullify his resistance debuff?
No, no, no! (Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, Secret Level: The Crossing’s Elf Worker unit style)
You’re missing the point! I wanted to make another devastation free build like that spellbreaker earlier. Since i’m tired of seeing every arcanist use it.
Hmm, i think it’s about varying playstyles. Me and JoV disagree a lot since our ideas regarding QoL are very different. I just prefer CTs radial effect over PB shotgun. I already agreed PB will clear faster.
valdaran reduce your lightning resistance, you can removepurge his resistance reduction thing from yourself with nullification…
and if you facetank himcome close and use nullification you can purge debuff + reduce his ele dmg same time…
ya i am not huge fan of devastation either, so i got you…
ps: i assume you know, you can use ‘nullification’ on yourself
I like this ideea with shield a lot. an I am also tired of seeing Devastation on all Arcanists almost. Heck, i’m using Callidor’s with Blind fury and having hun with it:p. Will of the living makes perfect sense and it’s good OA and DA. Argivix robes are sexy btw
well i am not gonna lie i am abit shocked you didnt know that consdering you post many guides with arcanist
nullification is kinda my main reason to go arcanist and ability makes arcanist my fav class with nightblade,
and i always say that ’ i can finish GD ultimate with seminaked trash gear’d spellbreaker’
i guess this info gonna be super duper boost for your toon in some fights and nasty situations…
I mainly use nullification (and cleansing waters) to remove resistance reduction debuffs on myself, sometimes bleeds which is one of the reasons I don’t particularly care about that resistance.
It’s the fact that it debuffs enemy elemental damage that took me a while to realize, since it’s not listed in grimcalc.
