I completed my nightmare run with this amulet, and you don't need the maw ring. Since tempest knocks down basically everything, and there is a talent you can spec into that gives you crit on knocked down targets it'll always crit anyways. Even against one enemy you have 100% uptime on tempest, and it'll set arcane bombs so fast you just spam heavy attacks. Never have to do light attacks ever again basically. Even when i played against dragons I had 100% uptime on tempest, as long as they stayed inside it that is :)
@@thanmg9703 You can basically just follow the same build outlined in the video, just make sure to pick up the 1 talent @maggru91 is talking about. It's on the bottom portion of the chart, near the node for the electric jump back/disengage ability if I remember correctly. Should be a major passive node.
What class would you say is better warrior or mage? Specifically only really interested in reaper for warrior and mostly spell blade but I like all the mage classes.
Mordarim, what build would you make. If you were playing without companions, and on the hardest difficulty? What's something that has good damage but great staying power? I want to try something fun for my next playthrough. But for it to succeed I'll need an OP as possible middleground.
Without companions? Early game is going to be super hard. Later you can get infinite mana, leech, become super tanky and deal 9999 dmg every hit with a crit abusing build. I am at 28 currently on my playthrough and hitting 8000+ with every spell. But that requires specific items and a lot of skillpoints.
Anyone got a recommendation for a good Medium armor to go with this? I keep searching but so far, outside of defense, nothing seems to hold a candle to the Veil Jumper Leathers Light Armor.
Do you happen to remember where you found the upgrades for the Amaranthine Loop? Been wanting to use it for a Stagger Warrior setup but which vendor has which items haven't been documented anywhere.
(Sadly i do not remember everything) I remember getting one in minrathous, i think in the catacombs. Should have been the 4th upgrade. The 3rd upgrade was on the rooftops above the canal chest in treviso, near the unique weapon chest in the middle of the map. The first two upgrades must have been in the forest, from the merchants in treviso and/or before all that during the initial quests.
Some things i missed or want to add afterwards:
Helmet: Defiant Silence - Nothing comes close, best crit helmet.
Combos:
1. Basic - Light > Light > Light > Charged heavy
2. VS armor - Charged heavy spam
3. Quick pop - Light > Light > Light > Heavy
4. Spellcombo Burst - Time Slow > Tempest > Basic
5. Spellcombo Basic - Tempest > Quick pop
6. Spellcombo Free Burst - Time Slow (upgrade) > Tempest > Rift > Rift > (Storm Surge >) Tempest > Quick Pop
7. Spellcombo AOE - Time Slow (upgrade) > Tempest > Meteor > Meteor > Quick Pop > Tempest > Meteor > Quick Pop
hey man something else thatd be helpful for these is a full zoom out to show what the tree looks like
@@calebmatthews7268sure! I cut it out by accident. Will include it next time
actually the best helm would be the one that reduces cooldown for companions skills by 50% on detonation allowing to spam detonations
Rift?

Can you share your build pls? Trying to sustain the ring debuff is kind of annoying and which companions do u use?

What are the best factions for this build?
Went with the veil bois but it really does not matter much.

Mage. I am literally steamrolling the game with an improved version of this build. I will 100% get it out tomorrow, maybe tonight if i push it.
@ take your time! Don't rush the enjoyment out of it!! Thanks for the reply bro
Can you use spell blade the whole time or just as a ultimate? Or spell blade is a class?
Class. It uses the orb and dagger + spells.
