Build Overview

This Build is an Endgame Setup for the Oracle Ascendancy utilizing the Power of Plants with our main damage dealing Spells being Entangle and Thrashing Vines with the added Thunderstorm Synergy to produce Overgrown Plant explosions with the help of Accelerated Growth.

This Build is a Physical Spellcaster and also has the option to use other Physical Spells like Tornado, Bonestorm or Bone Cage.

Another offensive Tool is the use of Spell Totem, which required Endurance Charges are easily provided by the Armour Break III Support Gem.

Defensively this Build uses an Energy Shield / Armor Hybrid approach with the newly added Barkskin Spirit Gem.

This Build is exceptionally easy and smooth to level through the Campaign with our main Damage Dealer for both Clear and Single Target Entangle being available from Level 1 onwards.

This Guide includes a full walkthrough of the Progress throughout the Campaign as well as the current Endgame Version, which is being updated daily.

Anything in the Endgame Version of this Build is still in the Progress of being optimized and is due to Change.

Equipment Priority
+9

Whether you are using a Wand and Focus or a Staff does not make a big Difference for the Build, so you can use either or and the same goes for the Base of the Wand or Staff. If you are not using a Chiming Staff, i do recommend getting one in Weapon Set 2 to get Sigil of Power.

The biggest Priority in your choice of Weapon (and Focus) should always be the Affixes.

Gear Stat Priority:

  • +Physical/All Spell Skills
  • Spell/Physical Damage
  • Critical Hit Chance / Damage Bonus
  • Cast Speed
  • High Energy Shield Bases
  • Maximum Life

Apart from that, all of you Resistances should ofcourse always be capped.

Try to also get your Chaos Resistance as close to the Cap as possible and remember to use the Soul Core of Tacati or the Forsaken Bangle if you cant reach the 75%.

Our Main Damage Spell for Clear and to trigger the Cast on Critical is Entangle.

Thunderstorm is socketed into our Cast on Critical to automate the process of watering the Plants coming from Entangle and Thrashing Vines and guarantee a constant Accelerated Growth.

We can also add Bone Cage into our Cast on Critical to get some extra Damage if your Mana can sustain both of these.

We also keep the Thunderstorm at a low Level (5) to make sure our Mana does not get drained as much.
