Also old grudge necklace change to gale neck with proj speed corrosion and slap in spell ripple prism in your marksman tree or feel free to change it to another tree if u need, like sentinel for block magister for some extra survival, ranger for more damage etc.
Cheap Damage techs
U can get howling wind necklace with proj speed corruption on gale Then put spell ripple in marksman or change the tree entirely
Checklist
This is a checklist before big ticket upgrades like israfels gloves, malign embrace, iced drinkers cage etc.
Do you have all decent mods on your slates? (starlights and corners are insanely cheap just get some with like 10% additional damage or +levels) Refer to the slates section in the guide
Do you have precise versions of your auras?
Do you have all your Gear atleast T1’d?
Do you have all your destiny slots filled? (pactspirit page)
Do you have the best support on your main skill for the point you’re at in the build?
Are your memories rolled well(like projectile speed crit rating etc not %damage)?
Do you have a prism?
Are your talent tree points allocated non-efficiently for the point you are in the build? (yes they are)
Does your belt have a blend on it? You can buy an ilvl 86 with +1 focus or all skills for very little fe (arcanist)
Are you still using preparation? If so your uptime sucks, please spend a few fe to buy an activation medium with high cooldown or duration additional such as “Elite, root, start,
Noticeable Upgrades
These aren’t in a particular order, also please try to use critical thinking of opportunity cost of when u can / cant fit one of these things in this also isnt a step by step upgrade list these are just things that can multiply ur damage and u need to learn/decide how and when to use these in your build if you want to use them
If you want more survivability you may hear me say “Just get more survival then” but what does that mean? To me that’s a no brainer but it’s good to explain here!
Swap points in your talent trees for energyshield
Equip a defensive skill on your hotbar, (defensive buffer(all elements + phys) / Frost shield (phys/fire) / Injury Buffer (hits)
U can also just swap out a 1 immunity slate to start for deepspace
Some more defense stuff
Misconceptions
You dont need gale belt blend there’s other ways to get gale/acquaintance i.e. you can get blend u can get pedigree u can just use the trees u can use gale howling wind necklace vorax necklace etc Viewer: “Let's say we need 3 talent traits. Gale blend is 6k, and acquaintance blend is 2k, while acquaintance is a crucial node and its tree (arcanist) sucks. So you like pick 1 talent tree (whatever is better of the 3 of them), then put another talent as a blend (the cheapest one), and you pick remaining talent as a pedegree option (the cheapest one).”
You don’t need israfels wings of light setup are similar damage and a better early cheap option in parallel with polar night chest
You don’t need lucky crit chance to “fix” unlucky crit chance As you gain more “base” crit lucky becomes less effective and unlucky becomes less negative If you had 50% chance to crit before unlucky you’d have 25% effective chance or with lucky its 75% effective chance
The green numbers on supports and items does NOT mean that it makes u do more damage
Flat cold damage on ur weapon versus spell/elemental damage% it depends on ur factor of more.
These are examples of factors of more, the % more damage shown is not 1:1 with ur scenario its the measurement of what u have and what youll go to
the effectiveness is calculated in my prompt before i entered it
Early/MidGame
Talents
There’s a lot of different trees and combinations I will try to list them all here If your damage is fine and you want more defense start grabbing more energyshield nodes, this is NOT recommended until you are able to kill monsters in profound
Knowledge
(generic pre-crit damage rushing 24p tree)
If u get Magister u want to grab this node in the bottom right to guarantee a second of recharge when u proc it, if you combine this with defensive layers u can get 2 seconds of recharge.
Prophet
(can be optimized more the prism is a micro with %projectile speed per micro, this is a basic idea for 24 points but more points is better ofc)
Marksman (until gale source)
(this tree kinda sucks you really want to get a source of gale asap) //After u get a source of gale pick two of the trees from below
Ranger Magister Lich Sentinel (PICK TWO)
//only pick two if u have a source of gale. Also if you decide to not go magister for whatever reason (you shouldn’t) you will want bunch.
Ranger
(first we have ranger, this is the recommended early tree once you start working towards crit from an opening heart start There’s a lot to this tree so please read When your crit before lucky or unlucky is around 50% its very good to grab lucky in this tree once ur crit starts getting higher around 85% without lucky keep it up is very strong)
The bottom row can also offer some good generic damage if u want to go to this tree before crit This node cluster gives 102% bonus damage //increased (additive multiplier damage)
This tree also has a great prism slot choice which i’ll just color in red, this is also the recommended tree if u have to replace the major talent with something like spell ripple or effortless command
Magister
(ultimately this is one of our best trees once we have some focus blessings going around 10 would be a good start, it has a balance of survival & damage. It’s received a decent buff as well this league)
(this node is very very strong to copy with an inverse image)
Lich
(this tree is objectively one of the worst choices, but it helps people find some comfort having a 4th 50% aura //it’s worse than ranger magister and sentinel in terms of damage, and it is worse than magister and sentinel in terms of tankiness. Although this tree becomes the best tree if you go for an aurastack angle with lonewalkers late game)
Sentinel
This tree is highly recommended closer to the midgame when u can cap block
(by far the most flexible tree we have available, block capping is incredibly tanky and the ability to turn all of our defense into raw damage for mechanics like void bosses where defense isn’t needed is very nice.) //Please READ Defensiveness + the 5% block ratio node in the tree is enough for 60% early on, Full defense takes all of your block ratio (up to your limit) and applies it to dot damage taken (mainly persistent) If u die to persistent u want that. Last stand removes ALL of ur tankiness but funnels it straight into raw damage multiplier (its a lot)
Gear
I tried to keep these in order from assumed best to worst per slot for this point in the game
Weapons
2x crafted wands
Helmet
(You’ll want to get the corrosion on the nearby enemies guaranteed to land crit)
Also idk why people are crying about this, 6metres is very short ranged your tangle can attach very much further away than this.
Bodyarmor
Belt
Necklace
(with 2+ to int)
This neck with insight corrosion isn’t bad
Rings
Gloves
2.9x for wings of light with 10 focus blessings (and some insignificant) crit damage
Wings of light are very nice, but you’ll need a source of intimidate, either the kismet or arrival of the polar night chest
2.8x for wings of light but u can increase intimidated with
Key: Legendary Epic blue Most optimal lineup Dream Weaver,, Ice Puppet Dream Weaver,, Drapion Lady (if magus) S tier: Pact spirit List
A tier: Pact spirit List
(nuts with tangle)
B tier: Pact spirit List
(only for clear no damage)
Prisms
S tier: affix list
A tier: affix list
B tier: affix list
Setups
Focus Blessing Stacking
This can result in some pretty absurd damage
Automated Running
This really is just simple, stack movement speed with blurry steps swiftness, u can go lonewalkers setup for aura effect or graft a 100%+ ms ring or even go pyric stride boots get creative u can get this build over 500% ms if u want And for automation yeah just use the tangle support it works fine as long as ur able to drop some damage comfortably u still nuke screens while not clicking any buttons
Might
You have a ton of options to be omega immortal in might
Barrier of radiance + a source of start energyshield recharge is pretty giga
So is fire resistance
But the best is just dot damage mitigation as might is mostly persistent damage
I really like to use Full defense with a block setup
But just having the -40% on boots and maybe chest should be enough to facetank deepspace might degen
Block
This chest the ultimate goal would be to graft wield my sword and absolve my sin
Sentinel tree is just giga busted
Ring mod
Lonewalkers
(ignore the pact spirits but this is an example of a perfect LW setup in the pact page)
This is a bit out there idea it would take an odd amount of investment for it to be worth it
