![]() I am fond of stalker's patience but not for this build. You have to crit for the frost/slash AOE, and its penetration isn't great so you want the weapon enchanted as highly as possible for maximum benefit. If you aren't getting good focus from Frostseeker you may not have enough penetration. Really nothing comes close to Frostseeker or Blights for ranged.one cool thing about blights also is you can dual-wield them if you want (blight + wand/scepter/pistol), or one-hand for extra accuracy. With The Red Hand I get about 110 focus per shot (x2), but it has to reload. Also leaves friendly allies (aka cannon fodder) so I like the bow even if it isn't the highest damage. With the modal it fires way faster than Frostseeker. I'm testing L20 char vs rotghasts though, Essence Interrupter does have the hunting bow modal and does pierce/shock so it can be really good DPS. I was going to suggest Essence Interrupter but I am only getting like 70ish focus from it single target. ![]() I'm getting about 120 focus a shot at L20. She is nearby to beina, so right before/after hasongo is a good time to steal spells.įrostseeker isn't too bad single target, at least if you crit a lot. Biakara is a watershaper and has a party-friendly chill fog which is also very nice. Lot of druids have nature's balm but a convenient spot to steal it is from biakara, who sails around hasongo. Some random other skaenites like a couple multiclassed priests in Temple of Tangaloa ruins. I am also looking at grimoire stealing escape and nature's balm to compliment the build as a whole though not interested in cheesing all the way with strand of favor (just saw your awesome soul blade/blood mage build)ītw, did you ever try stalker's patience on it?, Phantom foes > flanked enemies > stalker's patience gets bonus damage (does it apply to everything or just the weapon?)īeina has escape. ![]() Would you recommend any other ranged weapons outside frostseeker?, It seems like an amazing bow for AoE but not sure it's that good versus single target. When enemies are grouped you should be able to max focus in 1 to 2 attacks. Just memorize Pull of Eora, it isn't in any good grimoires unfortunately but it is a very useful spell to group enemies so you hit as many as possible with blights (or lance), which helps you build focus really fast. ironclasped or ninagauth if you want some damage spells, though I'd be using wizard side mostly for blights, buffs and debuffs and using ascendant side for debuffs, CC, and damage. After casting a bunch of debuffs you can switch to whatever, e.g. It has miasma of dull-mindedness, kalakoth's minor blights, wall of draining, and the unique spell jernaugh's equalizing burst which is an amazing huge AOE debuff. Jernaugh's Careful Calamities is probably the best grimoire for a caster hierophant. Take draining whip, iron will, empty soul, echoing horror, lingering echoes. Basically you stack debuffs with wizard and cipher spells, while keeping your accuracy high with borrowed instinct, and disintegrate things once they're debuffed and you're ascended.Ĭipher spells you want - psychovampiric shield, secret horrors, phantom foes, mental binding, borrowed instinct, ringleader, soul ignition, disintegrate, if you're in a party also take pain block, echoing shield, ancestor's memory. You can extend the ascended effect indefinitely. Can also use a morningstar if you need to land disintegrate on a boss or something. ![]() Not as fast as with the lance, but then nothing does. Use kalakoth's minor blights if you're ranged, at least for fights that aren't 1 on 1. My knowledge is more specialized for blood mage / soul blade but I've played blood mage / ascendant some. ![]() Not really interested in dual mortars because honestly they get boring pretty fast and I mostly want to chain together a lot of casting with brief moments of gaining back focus to ascend again for the longer fights. Omaku's Mercy recovery on crit helps with spell casting and what other good sustained DPS options are there for range that would allow me to pummel things from a distance. I'm not too sure on what weapons to use though, and also not certain on what grimoire would benefit me the most. Considering Pull of Eora, expose defenses and miasma as good wizard spells. I'm looking to play a caster centered build and I'm toying with the idea of an ascendant/blood mage that does ranged weapons to reach ascended state and chain cast vampiric shield, secret horrors, mind minding and the better shred spells to massively debuff foes while being able to stack damage on bosses or high priority targets. Played this game a few years ago and liked it a ton, back then it was a forbidden fist single class monk that managed to do all content on veteran difficulty without much issue. ![]()
