+ Elemental damage % (recall prismatic bolt does all 4 elemental damages and gets boosted by elemental attunement).Especially when you factor in the weapon bonuses (covered later)
REDDIT TORCHLIGHT 2 BUILDS SYNERGIES EMBERMAGE FULL
Once you are at full charge you are hitting crits all over the place. I tend to try and boost my DEX/STR on my gear so my critical hit change and damage bonus go up. +Attributes (Enchanters are great for this! Save your money for Attribute/Socket Enchanters).
I usually leave the Str and Vit to the gear and invest my stat points in Focus and Dexterity. I think I am about 400 focus, 125 Dex, 100 Vit, 50 Strįocus is most important as it boosts your mana and your direct prismatic bolt damage and magic damage (the effects like burn, shock, etc).Ī bit of dexterity and vitality and strength does not hurt though as Dex will help your dodge and crit, Str will boost your crit damage, and Vit is armor and HP. I put 3-4 points into focus every level and put the others in Dex/Vit So you need to concentrate on boosting your focus stat. Since your using prismatic bolt your weapon dps and all that great stuff doesn't really mean squat. Prismatic Rift (optional): Not a bad skill for a couple of points although with this build its almost useless because if your farming higher level maps your a one hit quit anyways. Ice Prison (optional): 1 point is great to keep enemies distanced and then dead This skill works great with the bolt build) - Thanks again to tetracycloide for this information.Īstral Ally: 10 (great guy at later levels, deals and absorbs damage)įrost Phase: 1 Point (necessary to get out of trouble with this squishy build, also travels fast)įrozen Fate (optional): 1 point is nice to have a chance to freeze mobs Hailstorm: MAX ( Has a high chance to stun and freeze mobs, also makes enemies 60% more susceptible to ice and electric damage, both of which are components of your prismatic bolt. Also slows enemies down which is a big help to this build. Immolation Aura: MAX (full time 15% damage reduction- thanks tetracycloide)ĭeaths Bounty: MAX ( Provides health and mana which you likely will not need but it doesn't hurt. I find Teir 2 is the sweet spot to never have a mana issue, you can go Tier 3 but you may run short at times, although never at later levels) (mana is no issue folks!my charge bar is full in like 4-5 casts anyway. Here is the build showing skills,spells,stats Think I am lvl 82 now and everything is a breeze. I was level 70 and doing all mapworks maps (even lvl 105 though I died one hit quite a bit when caught). This is a great farming build for mapworks as its almost too easy and you can do high level maps at earlier levels. Warning: I am using this build on ELITE level.
