Diviner build

I know a lot of people are hard on Arcane Blast--I personally love it for the splash damage. Maxxed out, one shot will hit a cluster of 3-4 enemies no problem, which is a great way to carry your damage and (more importantly for me) your item effects; poison, resistance reduction, slowing, extra vitality damage from rings and whatnot all carry in that splash (unlike stupid scattershot arrows, which don't).

Are you sure it carries those effects (I am most interested in the resistance reduction)? If so, it's "a scientific breakthrough of the afternoon" (IT crowd).
Edit: Ah, I just realised you mistaken arcane lore/blast... I guess noone is hard on arcane lore for staff users, it's a must have with ternion

I wouldn't max Premonition as a mage. Casters don't use OA, and a % boost to DA isn't going to help much for a toon with around 170 Dex and cloth armour. Your DA is going to be be abysmal anyway.

With all the skill points you have spare (I'd leave DW at 1 point and take Chaotic Resonance out completely), I'd max a second Trance. There's nothing against using ToW and then switching to ToC situationally, or vice versa.

Yeah, oops. I think this explains why I thought everyone was hard on arcane LORE. I'm always thinking, "What, are you high?!?" I had only 1 point in ternion until I maxxed out arcane lore.

Thanks very much for the help everyone, I'm really enjoying my Diviner at the moment

Still a bit stuck on where I should be putting my stat points though. All in int? 2:1 int/dex?
