Build Overview

Build made by Guythatdies, I simply added Druid Version.

This build was mostly unaffected by 0.4 patch notes.

This is a build guide for purely progressing through campaign and running early maps. The idea is that you swap to another endgame build at that point.

This is the best known leveling build for Infernalist, Blood Mage, and Lich, this season we will also be using it for Druid. Top players have been able to complete campaign + interludes in under 4 hours, and reach T15s in under 5 hours using this build.

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • Great Trash Clear
  • Great Single Target
  • Easy To Play
  • Requires Managing 2 Weapon Sets

Build Variants

This is the setup before we get Essence Drain. It can be a bit of a struggle until you reach level 6, but once you do, it's smooth sailing.

Your first Level 1 Uncut Skill Gem that you get from Renly will be Contagion and then you should pick up the Skill Gem in Clearfell to cut Spark.

Make sure to get your first support gem from Areagne in The Grelwood, and cut Unleash for Spark. You'll move this over to Contagion when you swap to Essence Drain

If you find a Withered Wand with level 3 Chaos Bolt or if you have a strong rare staff, you can use Chaos Bolt, Lightning Bolt, Firebolt, or Freezing Shards in place of Spark.

How it Plays

Level 1 to 5:

Cast Contagion on mobs and then kill with Spark to spread it. For bosses, just spam Spark.


Level 6 to 13:

With Unleash on Contagion, cast Contagion and then kill the contagioned mob with Essence Drain.

For bosses, your rotation is:

  1. Orb of Storms (to shock the boss)
  2. Essence Drain
  3. Chaos Bolt (or the skill of the weapon you're using), until Essence Drain runs out.


Level 14+:

Trash clear remains the same.

Your boss rotation simplifies to simply casting Orb of Storms at the start and then spamming Bonestorm. Refresh Orb of Storms when it expires.


Level 58+:

Trash clear remains teh same.

Your boss rotation simplies further as we no longer need to cast Orb of Storms. You just spam Bonestorm.

How it Works

Ascendancy:

Go for Shaman and take Wisdom of the Maji.
