And about a Fury/Tactician? You can get brilliant from Sunbeam, and I think Firebrand has the pen bonus from Fury

I used a Cleric Devoted/Berath using the summoned Greatsword and he was cool.

Thanks. I guess I will need use better armor while not shifted too.

Some questions about spiritshif: does the AR bonus from pale elf works while shifted? if I am using White Witch Mask for example, when I become bloodied will trigger the effect while shifted?

To me, the best MC for ascendant is : Seer (Easy to ascend and the precision bonus of the hunter) Witch (Cast speed and zero recovery on kill) Bloodmage/Wizard (you can prolong ascended with WoD)

@Not So Clever Houndlet me ask you a question… Do you think it’s possible to use the WoD to extend shift to make a bear tank and using the wizard self buffs? It would be something like the Druid tank from WoW…

@Not So Clever HoundI am enjoying this sorcerer build, there’s only one thing that I didn’t liked much: stay in car form. I know it’s a key component of the build, but I like to see my character in armor and using weapons EDIT: I added one of my favorite Druid spells to the mix, Touch of Rot, as soon as I got Infuse VE and don’t need to use Nature’s Vigor.

Thanks, I started the Thundercat with a Nature Godlike, I am still struggling in the early levels, but is a good build.

Some more questions: Does the Nature Godlike PL bonus stack with the Lifegiver and the BM PL bonus? And about the Blood Sacrifice, is it random the amount of health and the level of spells you get?

The only thing I don’t like is to stay shifted and don’t use weapons and armors. But is an interesting build

@Not So Clever Hound let me ask you some questions about the Thundercat: Don’t you use Spirit Shield? You stay in cat form since the start of the fight?

Thanks everyone, but against your recomendations I will play with a specialized Wizard. It will be a Loremaster , and this is my ideas: Conjurer : hybrid, using spells and conjuring weapons, while the chanter side will be providing buffs. Little use of invocations, probably no summons. Illusionist/Enchanter: melee mage, maybe pair with skald. Evoker: caster, chanter side focusing on summons. I know a vanilla mage can perform all of this, but this is what I want to try now. Another day I will try this sorcerer build, looks interesting.

I got it. And if I try something that I didn’t used yet, a pure caster. What would be the best combination (without exploit mechanics) Spiritualist, Hierophant, Loremaster or another?

I got another question. The Arcane Knight is fun, but I want try another. My idea was a Tactician/Fury, applying blind from Sunbeam to get Brilliant. My question is: what benefit I could get from Druid instead the Wizard? Specially Fury, that doesn’t even have healing spells?

I was afraid in pump STR and the Blood Sacrifice hurts more than I can handle even with Lay on Hands. I could use more DEX, but I just finished Port Maje and dont want to do it again

I decided to give a chance to Arcane Knight. I wasn’t much sure about it because I always prefered to use classes more unusual, try different things. But I choose Bleak Walker/BM. An evil mage in heavy armor. I imagine something like a Nazgul. This is my atrributes: 15/10/15/21/19/10

Thanks for the replies. I liked the “assassin hybrid combo” About the Steel Garrote and Tactician, I already used them with a Beguiler, that’s why I don’t want to use them. If I go with a paladin, my choice would be Goldpact. Loremaster is a class that I want to try, but I dont want a pure caster for now.

Hello people, I played a lot with the Bloodmage/Soulblade, but I want to try another wizard subclass. I know BM is the best, but I want to go with something different. My idea is to use the wizard for buff/debuff, and the another class for damage, but also has to add survivability in a solo run. I am trying to decide between Illusionist and Enchanter. And my options for another class are Stalker, Rogue, Paladin, Cipher and maybe Chanter . I dont want a pure caster. And the other meles classes doesn’t add survivability. If you could help me decide, thanks.

thanks for all explanations guys, is helping me a lot

Thanks guys for all the help @BoeroerI am considering switch for a Beguiler, I think is more fun all the controls and debuff stuff than the SA dmg. But how can I stay hidden if the cast breaks the stealth??

I am using quarterstaff, because of the deflection modal, and I think that two handed is better for SA, am I right?

Thanks for all the replies. I am enjoying the BM/SB, I am still learning how to use it effectively. The only thing that I’m not sure is that 10 STR (followed the @Not So Clever HoundBM guide) sometimes takes an eternity to kill some enemies…

Now I don’t know if I go with the Inquisitor or try the BM/SB. I finished the digsite with them both and the two was fun to play. The mage is more dynamic, but I am concerned about sustain in later levels. @Not So Clever Hound I am following some of your guide about BM, trying adapt to combine with the Soulblade. I am using Quarterstaff with modal in one set and sword and shield in another. @BoeroerI am using rapier with modal +shield in one set, and sword+dagger with modal in another. Increased my survivability, and the auto healing is working.

Thanks again for the reply, I will run some more testing.

Any ideas of how I can make it work? I tried max STR to increase the damage, but still too low. I don’t know if I have to go dual wield, two handed, shield… Another question,is Soulblade/Bloodmage a real bad combination?
