Path of Building Code

Build Overview

The build revolves around Soulwrest and the new Reliquarian Ascendancy, allowing us to get The Black Cane Ascendancy, giving us an enormous amount of flat added physical damage to our spells.

We convert 100% of that physical damage to cold, with Watchers Eye, and glove modifiers.

To survive we take Dawnbreaker ascendancy, and a timeless jewel under Rakiata, combined with a bound by destiny to ensure we take 100% of cold and lightning damage as fire, this way we can only stack Fire Res.

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • Very Fast
  • Great Clear
  • Great Bossing
  • Extremely good tank

New Item

Soulwrest your bread and butter, try to get a double influence one with Shaper and Hunter influence, this will help you massively with your Bound By Destiny jewel.

The Dark Monarch (Summoned Phantasms) Will double your DPS allowing you to summon more phantasms, meaning MORE added physical damage to your spells

Bonemeld Will give you a LOT of energy shield once you get all your phantasms going

Mageblood Just fixes a lot of issues

Twilight Regalia with hunter influence. I bought mine already influenced, then i spammed Essences of Woe, until I got T1 % energy shield, then I locked prefixes and reforged chaos to get the phys taken as chaos mod. Once your prefixes are good, lock them, and reforge caster to get T1 spell critical strike chance. Once you got that, for your last suffix, just go to the boat and yolo exalt, hoping for a RESIST, which you can then harvest change to fire res.

Warlock Gloves The glove slot is debatable, if you DO NOT have a watchers eye with phys converted to cold Hatred mod, you NEED physical converted to cold in your prefix and implicit, adjust this according to your budget.

Warlock Boots Fractured ES base, spam essences to get avoid being shocked with either INT or a GOOD RESIST, then boat slam your last suffix, hoping to get int or res. Once your suffixes are done, lock them, veiled chaos, unveil speed, and then you can bench craft % energy shield, or just boat slam it.

Enthalpic Ring with double influence for bound by destiny, spam essence for crit multi, res and INT, lock suffixes, reforge defense or boat slam for Energy Shield.

Cogwork Ring Ideally you want crit multi, INT, DEX, Fire Res, then for the prefixes, same as the Enthalpic Ring.

How it Plays

Go into a map, hold Cyclone and win.

How it Works

Soulwrest generates Phantasms, Summon Phantasm Support combined with Congregation Support and The Dark Monarch (Summoned Phantasms) will give us a lot of Phantasms, the The Black Cane ascendancy from the Reliquarian will give us A LOT of physical spell damage, and we convert it to cold.

Dawnbreaker ascendancy and Lethal Pride (Rakiata Tempered by War) and Bound by Destiny will allow us to ignore cold and lightning resistance, focusing only on fire.

The Catarina ascendancy will give us a lot of movement speed.
