@Chrisodin-o6h it's 5 piece Hrothgars on front bar only which is where you activate it with Tentacular Dread. It's not active on back bar since it's not needed
@Sunsh1n2 it works as is in BGs/IC. I don't do much duelling but the arcanist taunt that steals armour is something I'd run in a 1v1. Not sure what skill to drop though
@@zacreed2195 weapon glyphs don't scale with weapon damage but do still respect penetration, so it's to get the extra 1k pen. Same reason we run Lover mundus
@cheemers Thanks for the reply! Tested the build out tonight in IC and it hits like a truck. Struggled a bit with healing, but that's probably just a skill issue because I'm a filthy Templar main that lives in a puddle of HoTs all day.
The back bar is there to give you extra enchants to auto proc. If you don't have brp dw you could just run blade cloak anyways. An alternative would be 2pc endurance for max health on back bar as a sword and shield, then run the shield throw ability with the DOT effect. It will still trigger your back bar enchant (poison) when you bar swap
@ here lately yes. Similar building philosophies. Mine just uses bash dmg and health with crux for defensive. I like the non-traditional dmg source and a decent offense defense split for crux use on your end. Was experimenting to play with crux mechanic for mag flail. Never found anything I really liked, but what you got looks fun.
Oh man, I’ve been having a blast with your most recent soul cleaver NB build and now you’ve dropped this?? I guess I’m dusting off my arcanist again… 😅
@ I meant to also say I’m really enjoying your videos! You’ve clearly got a ton of experience and you explain your thought process of putting these builds together so concisely. Thanks again!
No not instead of Torugs pact, it's too important for sustained damage here. You could run Essence Thief instead of Hrothgars on the front bar though and it should work pretty well
It would but it would make the build weaker. Your enchant cooldown would go from current 1.8s to 1.26s which is still once every second light attack, and you'd lose the burst from Hrothgar which is very important to get the kill
If you cast Runeward with 3 crux it's free so that helps a lot with mag sustain. Otherwise the main magicka dumps are the stun and Tentacular Dread which becomes fairly manageable. On thr back bar we have over 2.2k unbuffed mag recovery which helps top up quickly 😀
Tried this out but the recovery is so poor it’s no good for me. It’s great against those that aren’t very good in PvP but when you’re fighting a shield sorc or a seasoned nb, this doesn’t work.
@chelcycuevas7445 you've got 2.4k recoveries on back bar, and the majority of your damage comes from light attack proccing enchants. Recovery isn't an issue if you get used to the build
I've been loving this build. I was so surprised how easily I can burst people down and keep them there. Great job on the theory crafting!
Thank you, it's tricky to give Arcanist burst and tankiness so I'm glad this build can mix that together
I really like your builds, seem to be way more unique and interesting compared to what i usually see.
Really nice build and great info. Thank you.
Going to try this out, sadly my Arc now useless with my old build (may work in duels). Thanks for the great video, also like the explanation 👍
Glad I could help
@ sadly my arc a kahjit so the mystic no good use I guess 🙈😭
Try Death Dealers Fete instead, it'll help with Tankiness
@ ok thank you a lot for the help
how do you get 5/5 out of hrothgar set when you only have weapon, chest, pauldrons and amulet?
What should I replace dazing soul with if i dont have access to scribing?
Rune of the colorless pool
Лучшее видео по арканисту!
Thank you!
Do you not get the 5 peice buff from hrothgor because i can only see 3 or 4 peices equiped because of that monster mask your wearin?
@Chrisodin-o6h it's 5 piece Hrothgars on front bar only which is where you activate it with Tentacular Dread. It's not active on back bar since it's not needed

Hallo können sie bitte das Build in schriftliche form poosten danke
Sorry just in video format
Привет, даже себя лицезрел))
What modifications would you do for duels with that build - and IC/new BGs?
@Sunsh1n2 it works as is in BGs/IC. I don't do much duelling but the arcanist taunt that steals armour is something I'd run in a 1v1. Not sure what skill to drop though
What you use to make (Dazing soul)? All I see is [defile] so far🤔
Stun, class mastery, and defile. You could probably get away with cruelty as the middle script also
@individual116 ok thank you very much 😊
Is there any reason for 3pc light and no medium? Is it just the extra pen from light passive?

What alternative u recommend if i have no brp weapon on backbar?
What do u think about frontbar hrothgar. On body sea serpents backbar vateshran?😊😊

Great video, but why do I only have 33% damage weapon enchantment potency set torug?
What do you mean? Torug should reduce cooldown by 33% and increase potency by 45%
@@cheemers yes, I have a 33% cooldown, but also a 33% power increase and not 45%!
Weird, nerf?
Mine is still 45%, not sure what's going on with yours

Interesting build I run kynmarcher frontbar with wv my sea ult hit like a truck per tick my highest this patch been 10k
Why using daggers instead of maces? Nice video 👍
@@individual116 daggers on backbar are for crit heals which malacath doesnt affect. You dont need pen on the back bar.
Nice
Thanks
Nice build
Is essence thief viable in place of Torugs pact? Thanks for the reply.
No not instead of Torugs pact, it's too important for sustained damage here. You could run Essence Thief instead of Hrothgars on the front bar though and it should work pretty well
@cheemers Thank you for the response. Cheers
Love the idea. Think I'm gona try it. 1 question. Does Heartland conquer buff torug even more.?
It would but it would make the build weaker. Your enchant cooldown would go from current 1.8s to 1.26s which is still once every second light attack, and you'd lose the burst from Hrothgar which is very important to get the kill
wat pots do ya use mate? immovables?
Just tristat usually
