[WIP] Beginner's Lazy Battlemage Diary

I think I’ve discovered a viable CT levelling strategy.

The pic is level 20.

Basically:

  1. 1/16 CT ASAP for Reincarnator boss fight.
  2. It takes level 8 to reach Inferno and level 9 to have some points in it. Before this I was levelling with Fireblast as it became available.
  3. Inferno is much less punishing when it comes to damage vs energy cost. Same principle of why you should onepoint Phantasmal Blades and max the Heart-Seeker instead, but it’s less obvious in this case. Specifically because AoE is tied to the main skill, so this levelling method means you’re stuck with minimal AoE.
  4. It still doesn’t mean that you won’t be running of energy, 1/16 CT and 12/12 Inferno is 44 energy cost baseline, which is close to the upper threshold of what I feel is manageable for a spam skill that early into the game.
  5. Still making a rush to Mental Alacrity so that I could start bumping the main skill for more AoE and better quality of life.
  6. But at least it’s good enough to be called viable and it’s quite neat in terms of how you do with skillpoints.
  7. Ofc worse than Forcewave
  8. Time to Warden clear is smth like 1:15, even though I pretty much planned everything in advance.
