[Concept] Spellblade build

[Sidushi]

Hi,

 

I haven't tried this one yet but am planning to do it when they fix the performance issue on GTX 10xx series. I will update this build with exact values and items etc

 

Starting race:

- Pale Elf for the elemental res, +1 Dex & Per

 

Starting classes: 

- Wizard Illusionist

- Rogue Streetfighter

 

Stats:

Mi - 10 - not really needed, we will focus on fast attacks instead and bonus is not so huge from it either

Con - 10

Dex - 17

Per - 16

Int - 14

Res - 10

 

Origin:

One with +1 Per

 

Equipment:

- Club - there is a good club in Fort Maje sold by a merchant that has a chance to curse an enemy and grant you accuracy toward it which will allow you to hit with a second weapon since you will be using full attacks hence 2nd weapon will have accuracy bonus toward the cursed target

- Rapier - in a Bardatto family vault there is a rapier that has an enchantment with a 20% change to attack after being missed in combat

- Headgear - Mask from that grants +2 power levels with illusion spells and casts Ryngrim's Repulsive Visage around you when bloodied I think?

- There is an armor increasing your speed based on the number of enemies engaged can't remember the name will post later

- Pet +1 Per/Dex 

- Some item icreasing number of engaged enemies

 

Rogue skills:

- Two Weapon Style

- Riposte

- Escape

- Backstab

- Smoke veil

- Shadowing Beyond

- Shadow Step

- Crippling Strike

 

Wizard skills:

- Wizard's Double 

- Llengrath's Displaced Image

- Curse of Blackened Sight

- Ryngrim's Repulsive Visage

- Combat focus

 

AI setting always 

Self health below 90%:

- Cast Wizard's Double on self this stacks with Reflexive Mirror passive from Illusionist subclass, you only want to cast this after you lost health because if you cast it first before you are hit the passive won't trigger and you will not receive a stacking effect of deflection, of course that is also an option if you prefer but I find higher deflection better than the average of 2.

Self health below 50%:

- Cast on self Smoke veil and Llengrath's Displaced Image

 

 

Concept combat scenario:

- Start off throwing a bomb that attracts enemies

- Cast Curse of Blackened Sight on a group

- Then Escape to jump in the middle to trigger the Streetfighter bonus

- Start hitting enemies

- When needed Shadowing Beyond/Shadow Step

- If you are in troubles use Smoke veil and Ryngrim's Repulsive Visage

 

You should be fast and have high deflection due to Illusionist passive triggered by anyone hitting, adding Wizard's Double on top of that should give you a huge advantage as well when you are lower on health

 

I have tried Battlemage(Figher Devoted/Wizard Illusionist) with a similar concept, but was lacking a riposte and bonuses from Streetfighter.

 

Any thoughts on this build?

1.Don't take illusionist.Take general wizard.Illusionist blocks too many usefull spells for this build.Specialist wizards are for single class wizards imho.

2.Pale elf is bad for rogue builds bcs they have huge reflex stat and most elemental(if not all) spells target reflex.Wood elf is way better(if you want elf).

3.Max int.This build depends on buffs(and debuffs) and multi wizard has low number of recasts.In prolonged fight they suffer even with empower.

4.I prefer assassin in rogue/wizard multi.Empowered AOE evocation spell at the start of the fight makes it so much easier.The numbers are  heartwarming.

5.If you want to play on podt with this class-dont try to tank,mobs will go through your illusions really fast.Your main role will be to disrupt casters.

6.Take swords as prof.One of the best single handed swords you can get practically at the start of the game.
