Build Variants

This is the Starter version with an Expected Start up price of about 10-30 divs give or take.

Max "Comfortable Capability" = 6 Mod T15s

"Comfortable Definition": Able to clear content without fear of death. Stress free and not needing to pay attention to too much. Critical Errors will still cause death.

Key Needed Pieces to run basic version even if Higher than recommended level:

  1. Adonia's Ego (Max charges amount DOES NOT MATTER)
  2. Total Spirit of at least 311 SPIRIT is needed to start the build (Need 20% Quality in Cast on Critical) - This is why focusing on a Sceptre with Big Spirit Amount helps a lot! You can get more spirit from some following example sources:
    a. Sceptre
    b. Amulet
    c. Chest Piece
    d. Desecration
    e. Spirit Reservation Efficiency
    f. Against the Darkness (Expensive)
    g. Atziri's Communion (This is used in a later to be updated "UBER" Version)
  3. Choir of the Storm
  4. Maligaro's Virtuosity

Elemental Storm

1. Ignite III - Higher Chance to Ignite Targets for Arbiter's Ignition
2. Magnified Area II - Increases the Area by which Elemental Storm Does Damage
3. Cooldown Recovery II - Reduces the Cooldown of Elemental Storm so we get more storms
4. Knockback - Keeps us safe by keeping monsters away from us

Pinnacle of Power

1. Heightened Charges - This increases the effect of the power charges, in this case for Pinnacle of Power, it increases the Duration of Pinnacle of Power rather than it's bonus damage. This is why your duration can sometimes be 1 minute and sometimes be 3 minutes.
2. Fire Mastery - This can be any elemental mastery, it's just to increase the level of Pinnacle of Power
3. Prolonged Duration II - Extends the duration of Pinnacle of Power by an further amount.

Purity of Fire

Note: Resistance Aura's from Sceptre can have any passive spirit buff placed into them and they will be active without actually consuming any Spirit. Cool Trick!
1. Mysticism II - More Damage
2. Clarity II - More Mana Regeneration


Sigil of Power

1. Rapid Casting III - Cast Faster to rotate through spells faster
2. Magnified Area II - Bigger Area means you can roam around in a bigger area
3. Prolonged Duration II - Longer Duration to last through events like [DNT] Ritual Hub or [DNT] Abyss Hub
4. Cooldown Recovery II - Shorter Cooldown means we can place it more often or re-position in during any encounter quickly


Firestorm

1. Rapid Casting III - Cast Faster to rotate through spells faster
2. Spell Cascade - This allows us to triple cast Firestorm with one single cast. Because Firestorm can consume all 3 types of infusions, this means with each cast it can generate 3 Power Charges. This allows us to instantly generate +6 Power Charges with a single cast for our Pinnacle of Power.

Cast on Critical

1. Comet - Spell to be cast when Cast on Critical is triggered
2. Spell Cascade - This allows 3 Comet to be cast when a single trigger of Cast on Critical incurs. It does reduce the damage of Comet. It also causes issues where the axis it's being cast across is too large where the 3 Comet cast will not stack onto a single target, basically giga nerfing our single target dps. This is fixed by...
3. Vorana's Siege - This is essentially a combination of Magnified Area II and Concentrated Area. The cool thing about it is that the increased area from it is large enough where the impact radii overlap and therefore allow all 3 Comet cast from Spell Cascade to hit a single target. This MASSIVELY buffs the single target dps and allows any beefy target left standing after our Arc clears the screen to be absolutely obliterated.
4. Pinpoint Critical - Massively buffs our Critical Hit Chance at the cost of Critical Hit Damage. This is overridden by Maligaro's Virtuosity as they set the Critical Hit Damage bonus to 250% regardless of any modifiers to Critical Hit Damage.
5. Efficiency II - Turns out, Comet cost ALOT of mana. This helps alleviate a lot of that cost.


Cast on Elemental Ailment

1. Arc - Spell to be cast when Cast on Elemental Ailment is triggered
2. Overcharge - This will increase the shock value when Arc shocks a target, but it will shock you back in return for the same value. Of course this is a problem because it now means we are going to take 40% more damage. This is fixed by...
3. Commiserate - This removes the shock applied to us from Arc + Overcharge, and multiplies the shock value by +40%[x]. When paired with Strike Twice, this allows our Arc to shock targets with a total of +150% Value. An absolutely insane damage increase.
4. Pinpoint Critical - Massively buffs our Critical Hit Chance at the cost of Critical Hit Damage. This is overridden by Maligaro's Virtuosity as they set the Critical Hit Damage bonus to 250% regardless of any modifiers to Critical Hit Damage.
5. Sione's Temper - It's Wildshards II on STEROIDS. This is MUST HAVE for Arc, it will completely wipe the screen with nothing left but the ashes of our enemies.


Spark

1. Rapid Casting III - Until we get more cast speed from Rings, Amulet, and Mageblood/Headhunter, we need this in order to cycle our Spark cast out faster.
2. Pinpoint Critical - Massively buffs our Critical Hit Chance at the cost of Critical Hit Damage. This is overridden by Maligaro's Virtuosity as they set the Critical Hit Damage bonus to 250% regardless of any modifiers to Critical Hit Damage.
3. Pierce III - This allows each Spark Projectile to hit multiple enemies rather than fade off into nothing when they hit a target. When we have the amount of Projectile Speed, Duration, and total amount of projectiles when Spark is Cold Infused, this increases the wide range AoE dps to quadruple. It's absolutely MANDATORY to run.
4. Projectile Acceleration III - So obviously Vilenta's Propulsion is the better option, but in order to run it we need ALOT of cast speed for it to overtake the Flat Damage buff Projectile Acceleration III gives to Spark. That will be something we shift into via the later variants of the build. For now, Projectile Acceleration III is the better option until we acquire the higher amount of Cast Speed.
5. Cold Penetration - This one is going to throw people for a loop but hear me out. The ENTIRE ENGINE of the build revolves around the ability for Spark to FREEZE targets. When Spark is Cold Infused, the damage is split between lightning damage and cold damage. The problem comes when we look at top values of damage as well as the Range of damage spark can deal. Because the lightning damage of spark not only has a lower top damage, but also has a much larger range of that damage, it means the average damage of lightning damage vs cold damage is a 1:3 ratio. The short version is Spark deals 3x more cold damage on average than lightning damage when Cold Infused. This means increases our damage versus targets by penetrating through their cold resistance with Cold Penetration will net us out much better results than Lightning Penetration.

Frost Bomb

1. Rapid Casting III - Cast Faster to rotate through spells faster
2. Short Fuse II - Frost Bomb's detonation timer is NOT AFFECTED BY DURATION STATS via Prolonged Duration III or Compressed Duration II. It is specifically a "Detonation Timer". This is why Short Fuse II works, it reduces the time it takes for Frost Bomb to explode. When Frost Bomb explodes it will give us a "Cold Infusion". This is NECESSARY in order for Spark to FREEZE targets for our Cast on Elemental Ailment. It is also how we get infusions right at the start of a map for our Firestorm + Pinnacle of Power combo.
3. Overabundance III - This allows us to have 2 Frost Bomb active at once, when we combine this with...
4. Spell Echo - This will double cast Frost Bomb with a single cast. Allowing us to get 2 Cold Infusions at once, which when combined with Refracted Infusion, means we get 4 INFUSIONS with one single cast of Frost Bomb. Good Stuff...
5. Cooldown Recovery II - Cast Frost Bomb more often, you will need this. Trust me.


Mana Tempest

1. Arcane Surge - We absolutely obliterate through our mana pool with Mana Tempest active. This is the easiest thing to trigger in the world, and now we get a free 15% Cast Speed because of it.
2. Efficiency II - Mana Tempest shreds our mana pool, and yes we want it to do that for Arcane Surge, but we don't want to completely bottom out before Arcane Remnants and Mana Remnants kicks in to keep us topped off, because if that happens, Mana Tempest goes on cooldown and Mana Tempest more than quadruples our effective AoE dps. We are going to reduce the mana shred a bit with this so we stay topped off on mana.
3. Cooldown Recovery II - We want Mana Tempest up at ALL TIMES if possible. Any time it goes on cooldown, we want it back up IMMEDIATELY. This will help with that.
4. Lightning Mastery - More Damage Gained


Mana Remnants

1. Remnant Potency III - Way more mana restored
2. Harmonic Remnants II - More remnants created and we can collect them from further away
3. Khatal's Rejuvenation - We collect more of this remnant than any other, and it allows us to have ALOT of Cooldown Recovery to the build which shortens the cooldowns for our Frost Bomb and Mana Tempest, which is game changing. It's a MUST HAVE.


Siphon Elements

1. Harmonic Remnants II - More remnants created and we can collect them from further away
2. Mysticism I (Optional) - Requires more spirit, so if you don't have it, it's not necessary. But hey, more damage is cool.


Elemental Conflux - REFER TO "HOW IT WORKS" SECTION OF GUIDE TO FIND OUT THE MOST BUSTED THING ABOUT THIS ABILITY

1. Lightning Mastery - Any elemental mastery gem will work here, just increases our overall damage
2. Clarity I - (Optional) - Requires more spirit, so if you don't have it, it's not necessary. But hey, more mana regeneration is cool.

How it Works

Adonia's Engine - Refer to Adonia's Extra Resource Sheet for Illustration

This build's Engine is quite complex so let's get started:

  1. Pinnacle of Power is the Heartbeat of this build. Yes the bonus damage from the wand is great, but the real power comes from the text "Buff causes all Elemental Damage to Contribute to Flammability and Ignite Magnitudes, Shock Chance, and Freeze".

    This means that ALL of our damage regardless of it's origin type, will Shock, Ignite, and Freeze the targets, but the most important one is "Freeze" as it generates the most energy for Cast on Elemental Ailment
  2. Cold Infused Spark is the flywheel to the engine, it's what starts the entire thing and EVERYTHING is derived from Spark's ability to FREEZE a target. We achieve this with a mixture of:
    - "Freeze Build-Up" Passives
    - "Flat Damage Modifiers" such as: "Spell Damage" / "Elemental Damage" / "Gain % damage as cold
    - Resistance Penetration through the use of:
    1. Cold Penetration / Rakiata's Flow
    2. Exposure
    3. Curses via Elemental Weakness
    Note: #2 and #3 are only applicable for the "Mid Game - Lvl 92 Variant"

    ^ We have to be hyper-aware of how many cast it takes for Spark + Mana Tempest to freeze targets. If it is taking MORE THAN 2 HITS OF Spark to freeze a target. Then we need to assess the situation. Check whether:
    1. The Map has "Monsters have Increased Ailment Threshold". THIS IS A BUILD KILLER until we
    have the "Giga - Lvl 97 Variant" (That variant doesn't give a hoot about anything, it's great...)
    2. The difficulty of the instance, especially related to [DNT] Delirium Hub. If it's to high of a
    Percentage, then we are cooked. Know your limits

    ^ If the above are accounted for, then you need to ask whether you made any changes to the passive tree suggestions. I have specifically chosen those passives at each level benchmark in relation to the gear acquired for a reason. But if something is off, then you need to tweak some power somewhere.
  3. When a Cold Infused Spark Freezes a target, this will build tremendous energy for our Cast on Elemental Ailment + Arc. The Arc's will come out with an absolute vengeance and clear the entire screen of white mobs leaving only the Rare Monsters and some Magic Monsters alive.
  4. This is where Cast on Critical + Comet comes in and obliterates the isolated targets due to it's enormous single target damage prowess
  5. As EVERY ability being Spark, Arc, and Comet buffed by Pinnacle of Power causes ALL Ailments to be applied, this causes infusions to spawn absolutely EVERYWHERE with Siphon Elements. This will ensure all of our spells are infused and decimating everything with triple damage from infusions.

    An added bonus is that because Infusions count as Remnants, we gain mana every time we pick one up with Arcane Remnants passive
  6. Because we are applying ailments to everything and this is Critical Strike based build, when we mix this with Mana Remnants, we will be able to upkeep our mana through density with ease.

    Mana Remnants will also overflow our mana by +50%[x], giving us more mana and better synergy with Arcane Intensity for even more spell damage
  7. When the mana regeneration + mana cost efficiency gets strong enough as seen in the "Giga - Lvl 97 Variant", we can run Mind Over Matter because our mana recovery doesn't matter AT ALL.

    Mind Over Matter DOES NOT affect how much mana is getting restored through the use of Arcane Remnants + Mana Remnants + Mana on Kill.

    this means we have a +4k effective health pool that INSTANTLY regenerates to full faster than we can take damage, turning us into the same abomination that Blood Mage Witch was in [0.4]
  8. This then cycles back into Re-infusing our spark cast to start the cycle again and perpetuate an infinite engine that ensure every single spell cast is infused while providing enough mana regeneration to supply double cast-on triggers.

Some Bugs/UI Tooltip Error Topics

Elemental Conflux Interaction with Pinnacle of Power

Let's talk about Elemental Conflux for a second.

So, we absolutely know it works, BUT we don't know exactly why it works the way it does. So bear with me for a second while provide a conspiracy theory.

Pinnacle of Power states that ALL of our elemental damage can Ignite, Shock, and Freeze targets. In order for that to happen from a coding point of view, there has to be a true/false statement in order to trigger those ailments. So our Comet deals zero lightning damage, but it is able to "Shock" a target, and the only way it can "Shock" a target is if it is dealing lightning damage. Which means that by default, the coding must state that even though this ability doesn't deal any lightning damage, it must have the lightning damage "tag" attached to it. Meaning it counts as a "Lightning Damage" ability. So even though Elemental Conflux is buffing only lightning damage in it's rotation, because Comet is buffed by Pinnacle of Power and has a lightning damage tag attached in order for it to "Shock", it is therefore affected by Lightning Damage Buff of Elemental Conflux. Therefore, Elemental Conflux is a permanent +60%[x] multiplier to ALL OF OUR DAMAGE even though it does not express that in the tooltip. But trust me when I say it works. Not all tooltips and UI are accurate, example the Overcharge + Commiserate combo.

It is beyond cracked, it an ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE. I cannot express how massive this ability is for our build.

Overcharge + Commiserate Combo

Aight I'll leave this short. It's a UI bug that doesn't show the proper shock value on targets. It will only show the bonus shock value of Overcharge but will not show the multiplied shock value provided from Commiserate. This combo works 100% after rigorous testing and comparative theoretical yields with practical damage yields. Trust me, it's busted. this is how we increase our shock value from a measly total of 80% > +150%.
