@@robertogonzalez2686 you use one for dmg and one for utilities since there are some nice support spells that don't scale with the staff

nah this man was cool about it

Haha damn I should have edited that in that would have been so funny!

Correct

They changed it in a update. You have to upgrade her once before she sells it now

Your welcome, sorry for the wait. :)

I don't think this makes the game unfun to be honnest

I think the problem is we are currently too high of a level for what is released in the game what makes it a cake walk, i feel like the crucible is designed for level 15-20.

I decided to take out the region lock since I speedrunned every area 😅

​@@PhantomBuild I can get that, be a nice boost when you kill a max level host though.

@@TajMalice yeah it's insane

@@PhantomBuild Just be careful not to remove too many hurdles! 🚧🏃

If i did this run when the game came out i would have welcomed all the hurdles but at the state the pvp is in now it's rough enough haha

Haha don't worry there are still very strong mage setups in the game. I'l make a video on this soon.

I will make a new build pretty soon, just looking if i want to go the tank route or the focus regen

Also they will ad pvp, can't wait for it!

@@PhantomBuild Huuuge!

I agree with all your points, but the one I can most easily relate to is Throw. I had an alt that I gave a good 2H weapon to, put fire throw on it and went into the crucible to grind levels. I was only level 15ish when I was able to comfortably clear the crucible by just spamming throw. It does too much right now. Crazy damage, lots of stagger, applies on hit effects like freeze, it’s very quick, and it has a low focus cost even after the nerf. They should probably do a combination nerf on it by reducing the damage scaling and stagger generated. The on-hit effects like burn are fine and part of the skills appeal I think

no, normal mobs should be easy to kill with strong focus skills but elites and bosses no.

@@GooberTroy Oh totally man, once I noticed "Fire Throw" wasn't specific to one handed or two handed I was like "OH boy it can be rune slotted to anything?!" I slapped that in on my two hander and never looked back. Literally made the game a cake walk. :( Now I'm playing an archer because I was tired of owning the whole screen with one skill. Even on my archer, I'm only using the vendor bow, and haven't slotted any skills on and only leaving it on tier 1 just so the game can be more challenging. Sad times.

@@ketsi3079 I agree rune attacks should dispatch normal mobs easily, but there should still be at least a little effort. I like my character feeling strong, but the current way throw feels is like we simply don’t interact with the normal enemies at all.

@@GooberTroy the broblem lies there that we get focus too easily. if we get focus only by parrying and consumables with cooldowns then we focus more for the basic combat instead of spammin wepon runeskills

its EA, they going to change alot of mechanics as well, adding skilltrees, adding multiplayer and pvp, adding raid dungeons, adding more weapons, more skills, more more and more

It's only pve for now but they will add multiplayer. And well if they feel like this does not belong in their game they should balance things out to their vision.

Are they adding skilltrees?

and defence, i can still facetank echo knight, taking all hes attacks head on and my hp bar never get under 50% and i cna just eat 1 food to get it back 100%

Are shields so powerful? Might have to check them out... ;)

how much defence and how much equip load do you have? I am looking into making a tank build.

@@PhantomBuild my defence is at 1000 and hp 300, equipload around 98%

Thank you very much, more wil follow soon! :)

I think it's good to make changes early on before the release of more content and multiplayer how ever by nerfing both the dmg and the focus gain it might be a bit to much and i would hate to see them nerfing things to hard. I have seen this happen in other games and the nerfs will almost never be reversed what makes things obsolete.

I am happy to help :) It does seems that they changed some thing with the update so double check before levelling! I will update this soon.

I geus they changed this in the patch. I will update this, thanks for letting me know :)

Nah they're just balancing

Yeah...right. NOT. The game isn't fun when you're never out of focus, one shotting every mob, even the Echo Knight fight can be done within 5-7 seconds with one focus pot, focus on hit, focus regen gear while spamming 1 skill. Yeah, really "lowkey killing the game with nerfs". Gimme a break.

​@@dannykuang9433guess you never played a dark souls game... you can 1 shot bosses very easily in dark souls it's about builds and how you pump up your main stat... all DS games are like this... very fun to break the game, game would be boring as fuck if everyone plays the same.

@@dantwosecstudio this isn’t Dark Souls and hell no if they were emulating Dark Souls point for point, in which case they’re not. This is EA and I am glad they’re taking feedback and nerfing/balancing things such as int scaling. It’s ultimately a move in the right direction imo busted builds or just busted rune skill system to begin with needs to be toned down.

it's necessary to balance the game a bit before they release more content and introduce multiplayer. But i agree they have to be careful to not over nerf things.

Pretty sure I have it on chest. I'll confirm when I log on later

U can get it on all pieces focus regen is busted Edit" I wanted to test this made 100+ legs and couldn't get focus regen" head, hands, weapon, and socket yellow (head) is what I can get so far for focus regen"

When I've equipped it, it never regenerated. Might have been a bug, have to test again

​@@djpeajay They fixed it in Patch 1 it now gives ~1.5 Focus per second, and you can stack the enchants. Feels really good now

@@Joenen240889 ok great thank you!

Thanks, i am glad you enjoyed the vid :)

Quality. Noticed the stamina drop-off and made a new character to try to see how bad it was for the other stats. This makes everything easy to understand. Thank you.

@@darksideofthesun7157 No problem, I am glad I could help!

Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed! :)

You can watch the mage bonk video for that :)

You can buy it from the enchantress when you upgrade her to level 3

@@PhantomBuild oh thanks, im relative newby, how i can level up her?

@@nicolasgarcia253 You can upgrade every weapon at the black smith :)

what staff did you use?

It shows 2 runes but if you wait a few min it shows 4. definitely a bug.

What staff are you talking about? I tried it a few hour ago and it still seemd to work..

Sone times the runes don't show up in the meneu tho but when you use the staff the runes still work

I am glad you found the video helpfull :)

No sadly focus gain increase is only on melee hits.

I got them for crucible but since they require you to be level 11 it might be easyer to get them from the namles pass then the crucible.

@@PhantomBuild thanks, I have about 10 thistle rings at this point and countless other rings, but no band of calmness still. Some day....

Good luck and have fun :)

with extra bacon

I pretty much only use a staff since I one shot every non bos enemy and have infinite focus while doing it. I have to try out some weapons too see if they have to same potential.

@@PhantomBuild I'm always up for going sword and shield with magic if the game allows me. Just got a preference for the weapon style XD

Haha too each his own! I know there are some one handed int weapons but i an not sure if they have specific gems that only work with them..

jup

Yes the gems is certenly a good idea, i was thinking of incleuding that in to an advanced mage guide. About the staff, i suggested using an elemental infusement for the melee attacks since when you are playing trough the game you don't have way to have you focus up all the timeand so you bennefit from having more dmg on you base attacks. And I am aware you want to stack max focus and focus regen to have infinite focus. I coverd this in my "Mage Bonk Build" but i don't think adding this information for a beginner guide makes too much sense since they will have to play a few hours before they will ever get in contact with these drops.

That's what I tried to do. I felt like if I gave al the info around how to gather the gear and how everything worked (where there are a lot of guids over already) so I tried to keep it simple and mage orientated

@@PhantomBuild yup, appreciate the simplicity ^^

They are there automatically, they get blocked when you enchant so if you have a normal non-enchanted weapon, the slot will be there.

When you buy a weapon of a vendor that has 4 slot and you enchat them you keep the 4 runes, this might be a glicht and get nerfed in the future.

@@PhantomBuild I tried this and lost the other two slots after enchanting

@@1Eazzye was it the staff you bought on the vendor that already had 4 runes on them?

@@PhantomBuild nope gnarled staff only 2 slots filled

It's literally a guide for beginners. You are not gonna have a gem to gain more focus at the start and if you do it's a waste to use it on shit gear. The elemental gem is to do more dmg on your melee hits while you gain focus for your spell attacks..

It is seriously such a great upgrade early on.

Yeah that's also a good one! Personally I just the cursed crone until I have 42 int what is very easy to get.

I mean the sub and the dislike cancel each other out so i guess my feelings towards you are neutral. -_-

The two runes are just to make your time more easy

The two staffs you buy at the 3rd leven of the enchantress are for the current end game

@PhantomBuild i understand but if you enhance the staff. you get % buffs such as healing. focus. restore mana fast... but since it's 1st staff. that's ok

@PhantomBuild yeah... someone already make staff build with freezing... it's really OP

It's a fun play style! But they changed the requierments of the staf to 22 int so make sure to go for that first!
