My Storm(Main)/Nature(Sub) build

[Gravien]

Currently Level 34
Never had much problems with anything
Kill most stuff in 1-2 hits
Kill bosses within 10 seconds
And I kill in masses... monsters usually die before touching me
My Highest damage record is a 3k Lightning Bolt when I was level 31

Here is a demo video of me playing:

Titan Quest Storm/Nature (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6122310201655070144)

Usually my HP never falls belows 50% when fighting Typhon, but I forgot to take a pot at the beginning :P, notice I wasn't even running and just stood there and fire :)

Main Skills:

Ice Shard 12/12
Velocity 8/8
Torrent 8/8

Lightning Bolt 12/12
Chain Lightning 12/12

Summon Wisp 1/15
Eye of the Storm 8/8

Storm Nimbus 1/10
Heart of Frost 1/8 (1 Point first, Max after Oak tree done)
Static Charge 1/12 (1 Point first, Max after Oak tree done)

Storm Surge 1/12 (Optional)

Heart of Oak 1/12 (Will Max)
Tranquility of Water 0/12 (At least 1, Max is optional)
Permanance of Stone 0/12 (Will Max)

I only have 1 point on Storm Surge because I feel its enough for what its for. When mobs get near me they are usually near dead, so 1 point is enough to finish them off. You don't have to add it if you don't want. If I have enough skill points at the end, I might max out this skill as well. 15% actually happens quite often though.

1 point for Wisp is enough. What you want is the Eye of the Storm from the wisp. You are the main damage dealer not the wisp, even if you max out 15 points, the wisp just does ok damage, maybe get a hit or two off before I destroy everything.

Elemental resistant is very important when you advance further into the game. Same like Diablo 2, your resistance drops when you advance further into difficulty... It is never good with negative resistance. That is what Permanance of Stone is for

Refresh is quite useful as well.

[Gene]

Holy crap! I can safely say I would NEVER want to run into you...

*fear*

I do have a question though. Is it any fun being that powerful? I can see it getting pretty boring, unless it's a LOT harder in higher difficulties.

-Gene

[Gravien]

Well this is my first character when I started playing the game
I just took a glance at all the skills at level 2 and planned everything early
I was either going to play a Rogue or Stormcaller (damage dealers), went for Stormcaller.

I guess its fun to be powerful if you'd ask :P
All my status points are in INT therefore the high damage
Well 95% actually because I put like total of 6-8 points in HP MPand Dex
If I could go back in time I would go all INT

With Oak, Storm Mastery and Nature Mastery Maxed, you would have enough HP for the entire game. (Around 4K)

[Gene]

That's just crazy. Does anything challange a build like that or are you going to wait for some really nasty hard mods to come out?

-Gene

[Gravien]

Yes
Archers would hurt me quite much
so when there are a bunch of archers, I usually lure them all into 1 Direction and Thunder bolt + Ice shard to kill them all at once
If I attack them in different directions, my HP would go down very fast

In Boss fights, you either hit and run (melee), or try to dish out most damage in a short period of time (casters).

The challenge is pretty much up for the player, not the build though. But whatever you are doing, you need to enjoy

In Epic, the mobs needs avg 2-3 cast of Ice Shard to kill. Lightning bolt still very strong, I use it as an opener since the cooldown.
I haven't been to Legendary yet but I could tell the mobs would be way harder to kill.

One more thing that challenge me the most is... Equipment
I found like 20-30 blues in the game so far but most of them are just for melee. Im getting really ticked off here :cry:

This is mace drop I just got from Typhon

*Image gone*

Mage stuff never drops for me
Im just using Oracle chest that I got when Level 9 and Oracle gloves I got from the first Telkine boss in Greece

[Gene]

Nifty mace.

It's kinda sad you're still using an item from level 9. Maybe if you're lucky they'll start dropping mage stuff like crazy.

Also, I can see where archers would be dangerous, especially in groups. They seem to do more damage than melee enemies do. Quite nasty.

-Gene

[Nemo]

Your masteries are pretty interesting! I just wanted to know if you needed to summon a wisp to enable eye of the storm in the course of a battle.

[Gravien]

Yes
Did you see the video?
I have the wisp with me all times

[Viperace]

Seems like u never run out of mana. In that case, investing in INT is better than Energy. I will keep that in mind for my next build

[Gravien]

Not like I never run out of mana, but doesnt happens often
And INT is important for damage output as well
Usually the pots I pick up from mobs are enough for my use
But you could always buy another few from town, since they are so cheap
I have around 3.5 million, so $ is not an issue in this game
Just pick up some good stuff on the ground and sell it

[Dulak]

Wow you kill so fast ... I just completed normal with my pure warefare build and that place where you were at in your video was pretty tough for me; surprisingly the boss wasnt too hard; but from start to finish I probably go through 30 heal pots~ maybe more. I'm level 23 and I'm broke lol and you got millions :)

[Nemo]

Yes, I did see the video but I didn't pay attention to the wisp. I didn't even know that there was a pet for storm. Anyway, I'm trying to get the game today.

[ulic3190]

Yep for sure Heart of Oak does seem mighty useful (especially for a caster!)

But I noticed that you completely sidestepped the Storm Nimbus Tree...

While I understand that you are not a warrior would that not have been a better investment than Lightning?

I mean that has a very slow recharge time and not a very large area of effect.

Where if you level storm nibmus to the top your eneimes will be slowed, your staff attacks more powerful (with the extra cold or lightning dmg ) and with Static Charge all your Lightning attacks gain 75% MORE damage!

With the buff from the wisp and a lightning staff equipped as a main weapon... well as I said surely that would be better?

Please correct anything above as I do not have the game and the post is based entirely on speculation from reading different posts etc...

(Goin into the city as its 7:40 am here an will have the game in my hands at 9:01am... so please reply as your experience will no doubt benefit my first character)

[Hellraise]

Same here:

doesn't heart of frost increase the damage of your cold spells and static charge your lightning ones?
You could probably double your damage outpu this way, or am I misunderstanding how +% cold/lightning works?

[Gravien]

Well, its just basically a choice between survivalbility and more damage
I choose survivability
In epic, 5-6 archers could kill me within 3 seconds with 2k HP, thats just in greece too. Imagine what would happen in Legendary
Even without Static Charge and Heart of Frost, I already do enough damage to kill stuff VERY fast. For now,it is survival as my first priority. My damage output can still increase through INT, and equipment. But ofcourse, I would suggest you adding 1 point in Static Charge and Heart of Frost for the benifits first. I have a necklace that +1 all skills, with just 1 point you would have great benefit.

As in normal, I strongly suggest no, you do not have to add Static Charge and Heart of Frost. I kill 95% of the monsters in Normal in 1 hit, you dont need to overkill.

Tranquility of Water in the Oak tree isn't that necessary. So if you want to add Static Charge and Heart of Frost I suggest after you finish Heart of Oak and Permanance of Stone first. Around late epic/early legendary.

[Denethor]

Wow, I have basically the same build. Tons of fun! When I got this game I had to bring over one of my favorite Diablo 2 builds... good old CL/FO. Nature looked like a good secondary for me!

[Picaboo]

I went with squall over lightning exactly because of them pesky archers.

[Hadrian]

As an aside, Chooch has explicitly said that passive skills that increase a prior skill's damage (like the +% lightning damage from Static Charge and the +% cold damage from Heart of Frost) only apply to the skill that they are modifieing, in this case Storm Nimbus. Only standalone passive skills (like Volativity) and buffs will effect the damage of all of your sources of that kind of damage.

[Picaboo]

Actually Chooch even more specifically said that heart of frost and static charge affect all cold/lightning damage. The thread is in the Questions to Developers forum.

[BlazeWizard]

Wow, at first I thought I had done something horribly horribly wrong with my fighter. 3k a spell? Holy shit, my dps is roughly 1000 with a DW fighter.
Still though, you killed him far faster than I ever could.

[Gravien]

Thats just a single Lightning bolt doing 3k
My ice shard has 5 projectiles, if all of them hit its more damage than a single lightning bolt, thats why I go close up to the boss to make him take all 5 shots per cast (Bigger mobs takes more projectiles easier, just pointing out the obvious :P)

[Gravien]

I do believe both skills do add to all lightning and cold damage
In this game, when it says add X % of damage to XXX, it affects everything.
Weapon, skill, equipment, etc
Although the description for some prefixes and suffixes are a bit vague
And I really hope there is cooldown description for the skills

[crazy-daddy]

Could you post how you spent your attributes and what equip you have? I am doing a Druid, too, but I mostly run into heavy HP+Mana-Problems, when doin Runs on Typhon ...

[Gravien]

In my first post I did mention about my attribute points
Its 95% INT with roughly 10 points spent on HP, MP and DEX
I also mentioned if I could go back in time, I would go all INT

As for my gear (different from the movie since Im 39 now), 3-4 blues and the rest are green stuff. This is my armor here

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i46/fb1984/Clipboard06-1.jpg

Bracers gives +1 storm skills and +1 nature skills as well.

Right now Im just killing the Epic Telkine in greece over and over again for items. A lot of blue drops but mostly other classes :(

(Edited some updated info on first post regarding storm nimbus tree)

[ulic3190]

Well I got my game :)

I too am following in your footsteps.

At the moment I am a humble level 18 but I do have an Int of 492 ;)
(I took your advice and went all int)

Just finished off the Trelkine (that is far as I have gotten in SP)

Can I ask though why almost 95% of stuff that drops is unusable for my class :(

I Did pick up a suit Item blue for a warrior class it gives + 1 skill point to all Warfare Skills and other stats.. umm the labyrinth armour I think, I will keep that for trading.

At the moment I have a full Storm Mastery and 2 points in Nature Mastery.
This is one unstopable build.

My character is fragile and has not got heart of oak yet but it does not matter as nothing gets close to me!!

Thanks for all the advice,
Danny

EDIT:
_______
Sorry just curious, in your shot you have three relics all collected.
Zeus Lightning and Hercleas sign or something.
They are taking up six slots.
Did you know that you can right click a piece...
Hold it over another piece of the same type and left click to join them
This saves on Inventory space!

Appologies if you knew this bit of info and were keeping them seperare for another reason.

Danny

[Billmaan]

Where did you get your robes? I could definitely use a pair. Were they from the Telkine in Greece, also?

Some advice for other people focusing on a Storm/Nature build: get a fire damage staff. Yetis and Ice Spirits in Epic act 3 are immune to cold (not just resistant...actually immune) and killing them with just lightning is pretty painful. :(

[Gravien]

Billmaan, the robes were from the Minotaur Lord (spelling?), bleh, the cow before the Telkine in Greece, Epic difficulty.



Can I ask though why almost 95% of stuff that drops is unusable for my class :(

Yes lol, no mage love in this game


Did you know that you can right click a piece...
Hold it over another piece of the same type and left click to join them
This saves on Inventory space!

No I didn't know. Only thought right click the relic and click an another item would bound them together. Never thought of clicking on the same relic. Thanks, I'll try that

[Gravien]

This build isn't too fragile when you know how to control. Later in epic and legendary, you need to start running around lot more, dodging missiles and magic. Just remember to use Lightning bolt from furthest distance as opener.

As a side note, one of the Dev's or whoever posted 65 INT = 10% Elemental damage
So you would be able to debate and choose between +INT items and +X% Elemental damage items.

[Reader81]

Why dont you use Earth as Stone Form to heal yourseft or it's better to have Regrowth since you has nature? I'm build storm like you do but I didn't pick Second class yet, becasue I'm not sure if I go to Spirit and get Death Ward but it's taken long time, Earth, to get Stone Form but it's middle range of Tree Skill or Nature, to get Regrowth and it's early, But Death Ward is long time to get, but I dont know if you drop 15% or that's was 33% heatlh, it's will heal you, but I wonder if you can do it again if lower 33% or 15% and heal again or wait till rechanges, I dont know. I think you need heal in Epic and legendary so stay alive better.

[Gravien]

I go Nature for Oak, really love the 10% bonus run speed for my style, tons of HP, and resistance.
When you get used to moving into right positions, you dont really get hurt much, and pots are doing their jobs fine, and they drop everywhere.
In my opinion, you don't need healing skills in this game unless you're doing team play or having a bunch of pets.

[Reader81]

Well, I'm has careful study, I find Druid is lot better then Elementalist.

Storm Master- 32
Ice Shard- 12
Storm Nimbus- 10
Heart of Frost- 8
Velocity- 8
Lightning Bolt- 12
Static Charge- 12
Torrent- 8
Summon Wisp- 1 or 15
Storm Surge- 1 or 12
Chain Lightning- 12
Eye of the Storm- 8

Max Skill 149 Skill if every is max in those list


Nature Master- 24
Heart of Oak- 12
Tranquility of Water- 1
Permanence of Stone- 6 Max - 1 Active Energy Cost/Second, 18% Elemental Resistance
Regrowth- 1 or 16
Accelerated Growth- 0 or 8

Max Skill 67 Storm/Nature Total - 216


Earth Master - 24
Earth Enchantment - 1 or 15
Brimstone - 1 or 12
Stone Skin - 1 or 6, Max- 12 Armor, 15% Fire Resistance

Stone Form - 1 or 15 Heal
Molten Rock -1 or 15 hurt enemy with fire while heal

Max - 87 Storm/Earth Total - 236

Well, I think I will go Nature, it's becasue it's likely cheaper to put skill for better healing and Elemental Resistance at same time boom the heath even for Wisp. Earth is cost too much, oh well pity. I try to get Stone Skin for Fire Resistance but it's too costly Skill point for secondly class. I know 65 level Max, and it's give you 210 skill,with Quest Reward at least.

[ScottyBones]

Cool video and great job!

[ulic3190]

Thanks for the heads up on the numbers Int boosts dmg.
At the moment I have a staff, boots and 2 rings that all add 10% or 12% to Int and between 12% and 5% to my energy.

I also have an armband that adds 20% to elemental dmg plus 5 elemental dmg.

That together with the wisps eye of the storm ( Only one point at the moment so 30% elemental dmg)

And all 5 Ice shard projectiles means MAJOR dmg for level 18 I took down the Trelkine standing toe to toe in just a few seconds max!


I actually think that I am not going to start leveling up lightning till epic.
I will concentrate on the heart of frost and static charge first.

I just don't think ( so far ) that there is anything that can stand against me as I am with just Ice Shards and my staff.

Heh although I DID do a lot of running when fighting the Cyclops that first time :)

Danny

P.S.

Also Billman thanks for the tip on the snow level!!!
I will make sure to always have a fire staff in the secondary slot!

[Gravien]

I never use +% specific damage Staves, such as fire, lightning and ice
I use Foresight staves instead (+10% or more INT, +10% or more energy and additional energy regeneration)
Its way better then just specific elemental staves. Although its harder to find one. Ive only seen 4-5 so far, and never seen any blue or purple staff either

This is my staff

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i46/fb1984/Clipboard02-2.jpg

Yetis? no problem :P

[ulic3190]

Here is a shot of my gear I have something similar ;)

http://www.dannysplace.info/shotall.jpg

[Gravien]

Just got this

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i46/fb1984/Clipboard02-3.jpg

Best caster item I got so far along with the robes

[Reader81]

Did anyone do that? I put every 1 point (give 4 Dexterity) on every 5 level to make sure I'm stay alive (I dont want even 1 death on my recond Sheets) and for Mage Rode and all rest in Intelligence. I'm on Level 8 but hold on about Seocond class, I save 6 point for Second class, Earth or Nature, I know Nature but at same time I dont want to called a Druid, I rather to called Elementalist. But nature maybe stay alive in Epic and higher since I dont want 1 death on my recond sheet, happan to me, I delet and play again.

lol freak :p, you will die sometime :razz:

OT : i would go for nature

[Reader81]

Yeah, I'm freak, :) Blame on my feeling, they one who make me do it.

[Neverwinter27]

so can multiple ice shards hit the same enemy?

[Reader81]

If you put skill point in later of level, Ice Shade "End of the Ice Shard's Family Tree" I forget what it's called.

[Reader81]

Yeah, if you are too near to same enemy.

[Neverwinter27]

so how much dmg would Gravien be doing if all of his shards hit one monster?

[gunnzi]

i have the same build and at level 44 on legendary i must say its starting to suck.. in legendary mobs do such insane dmg its not even funny, i wish i had gone storm/earth for the taunting pet :(

[Gravien]

Well my highest hit is a 4K Lightning Bolt now at level 45
So if all my Ice shards hit, its around 5-6K damage
Just got to Legendary (was farming bosses for stuff), the monster do hit alot harder, but 80% of the time when Im fighting, nothing touches me. Same, need to becareful with archer type mobs. Some type of mobs do have a lot more HP though, need more damage. (Too bad none of the Legendary stuff were caster friendly...)

As for Epic Typhon, the entire run was smooth except for Typhon. Not that he was "Hard" but he has a LOT of HP, roughly double the time it took me to kill in Normal.

I will make another movie of the Epic version later.

(Tons of Legendary stuff dropping off Epic Typhon :P)

[Billmaan]

As for Epic Typhon, the entire run was smooth except for Typhon. Not that he was "Hard" but he has a LOT of HP, roughly double the time it took me to kill in Normal.It's not so bad if you grab the Battle Marker in the Northwest corner. I can kill him before the buff wears off; you're better-geared and higher-leveled, so presumably things would go even faster for you.

[Gravien]

I use the Mastery Shrine
Takes 15 seconds to kill him
Its already double the time I need in normal :P

[ScottyBones]

But nature maybe stay alive in Epic and higher since I dont want 1 death on my recond sheet, happan to me, I delet and play again.


Yeah, I thought the same thing....I can go though the entire game without dying, but then I got to legendary.:lol:

[ForrestGump]

Where do you focus your Attribute points? Can you post a breakdown as to where they went from lvl 1-5;6-10;11-15....etc?
Thanks in advance.

[Gravien]

1-5 INT
6-10 INT
11-15 INT
16-65 INT
:P? I did say all INT in a few posts
My char at level 50 has 1200 INT, mana regen is crazy, and thats almost +200% elemental damage (65 INT = 10% damage)

As for equipment, you want the basic + elemental damage / high int stuff, mana regeneration, AND fast cast. Fast cast does wonders with ice shard. My char has 212% casting speed, its like spraying (kinda looks funny). Refresh helps a lot in legendary too. Mobs usually survive 1 Lightning bolt at this level but not two. Lightning bolt -> Refresh -> Lightning bolt = 95% dead mobs in Legendary.

I beat legendary at 50 (I ran through some zones, should be higher when you beat the game) and it was quite a challenge. In terms of damage of this build, Im very satisfied. In terms of survival, you really need to run a lot in Legendary, avoid getting touched. At level 65 with superior gear, there should be no problem at all anymore. Just beware of your resistance, one of the most important stats that affect end game play. (Reason I say Core Dweller doesnt tank well in Legendary is because of the low resistance.)


If you want to use Core Dweller to its max potential, go Earth/Nature instead
Oak + Core for double hp boost and extra 18% or more resistance, refresh + euruption and VO for nearly non stop cast. Regrowth could keep your pet alive at hard times. You could get an extra Nymph as a sniper and overgrowth would help as well

Source from this post: http://www.titanquest.net/skills-masteries/2124-storm-nature-storm-earth.html

If you have low resistance, lets not talk about Typhon yet, just go fight Talos the Automai King in Greece of Legendary. :P

I've uninstalled the game already due to all sorts of reasons (Game keep crashing on me due to the obvious) Just wanted to finish the entire game once and share what I have. Good luck to you all

[ForrestGump]

1-5 INT
6-10 INT
11-15 INT

Apologies...I must have missed it. My dyslexia and ADD must be working in over drive. :rolleyes:
Thanks again.:)

[w0mbat]

*cries* My storm/nature char just got fried (the .chr file was empty after the first crash i've ever had in TQ aka, there is no char). Now im not sure if i want to play up a new druid or test something else *sighs*

[Hanso]

as you said if you could go back in time you would go all INT -- i ll second that and its always best to go all the way the attribute your class needs- warrior mainly --> strength / archer type --> dex / mage type --> int.

[Reader81]

I would go INT, but what about Mage need Dex to get defensive ability? Sometime I do want to go all the way to int, but I dont want to risk one-hit death if in the Epic and legendary.

[jimkirk]

how do you record a video of the game? while you are playing?

[goldsword]

I'm also playing the druid but im playing a little different from you guys, im currently level 43. Instead of using dmg spells I attack with my staff as a primary weapon, doing 1200-1600 dps depending if my whisp or wolves are giving me bonuses. My only problem with the build is quite low survivability, even with maxed heart of oak, mainly because all my resistances stinks, im doing good enough damage but need to find some % pierce resistance asap.

[ForrestGump]

I haven't been to Legendary yet but I could tell the mobs would be way harder to kill.
Any word on how this toon does in Legendary as of yet? :)

[ranger_david]

Thanks so much for all these tips. It's nice to see there are others trying this one out. Also, great clip. Gave a feel for the power in a druid.
BTW just wondering if the Briar Ward chain is any good for casting spells from. Doubt it, but just trying things. Thats what this games all about.

Thanks again guys

[Gravien]

My Druid is in legendary right now, and it was really rough until I got my resistances up. Archers still give me problems as do any "fast units" that rush me. I have somewhat low survivability in these situations. I decided to max out int and now do some awesome damage.
Overall, the build is holding up pretty well in legendary.

[delux600]

Hi Gravien

I'm playing Storm/Nature as well, however I didn't put a single point to lighting bolt and chain lighting. I maxed Ice Shard line and Eye of the Storm and whatever left I put into Nature (I'am lvl 33 now).

So my question: is there any point to put points in lighting? I can kill everyone with my Ice Shards with no probs at all. Is there cold immune monsters on Legendary? Why did you spent 24 point on lighting?

Thanks,

[Neil]

Lightning is a great opener and also very useful against groups of nasty archers: run around a corner and use lightning.
I'm 49 now, legendary is fine so far except archers

[Gravien]

Hi Gravien

Thanks,

Lightning is for openers, or you could just Lightning Bolt -> Refresh -> Lightning Bolt. 2 shot 99% guranteed kills even in Legendary

Pure Ice Shard is not enough, unless you have kazillion % of fast cast (I had 212%)
and yes there are ice immune mobs in epic and legendary
I assume you just beat Normal at 33. Although Ice shards rock right now, they are far less overpowered later on

I've mentioned these points in a lot of posts within this thread, strongly recommend to read from first page to the end

Another advantage of Lightning Bolt is you are able to fire behind a wall...

[delux600]

But if I get my points back (for money) and put them in lightning it means that I won't have anything in Nature. I'm level 35 now in act1 in Epic. Is it ok? When did you start to put points in Heart of Oak?

In other words, what you suggest: put points into lighting or put points in HoO? :confused:

And to use Refresh I have to put A LOT of points in Nature mastery. Where did you get so many points?

[Flamey54]

Question for Stormcallers... I'm also a Stormcaller and I put a few points into Wisp and EotS... my wisp doesn't do jack **** lol he just like follows me around everywhere what is the point of him...? I figuered I'd put a few points in to see if he would attack first and be like a distraction to a group of mobs or something so I could lay their asses down with my skills... but he just sits behinds me and does nothing...

The Wisp is not a tanker! Unlike Wolves or Coredweller for example, the Wisp will not rush forward as soon as it detects an enemy...I suppose the devs made it that way, because with 99% evade, it would be an overpowered tanker ;)
The main reason to have the Wisp is EotS...the Wisp will cast this spell on you whenever you get into a (bigger) fight...it will attack too, but usually only after you have attacked (und thus pulled aggro), so it will definitely NOT tank for you...

BTW, I use almost the same build...don't have the lightning (anywhere near) maxed though...I also put a few points into the heal spell for reduced potion useage (reduced to maybe 10 potions for the whole of Normal Mode ;) )

Where do you currently stand at Gravien? Are you still lvl 34 and if not where have you assigned your points?

With the right gear I can safely suggest an alternative build that really kicks ***. With -100 recharge Im spamming chain lightning! Wolfs + briar ward (no recast remember) + chain lightning = ownage of all kinds of hordes. Against bosses I throw in plague.

Hes lvl 55 atm and doing very very good 8))

hey.. how do we assign attribute points for this build every time we lvl up?

everything to int,

and max both masteries.

Maybe a noobish question, but is it viable to max both masteries (if that's what the left-side bar is called) first and only then start building the individual skills in the masteries (such as Heart of Oak etc...) ?

Please have a look at my post http://www.titanquest.net/skills/7689-ultimate-pve-pvp-build.html#post66380

If you want to clear mobs faster than any other build in legendary, take typhon down in about 10 seconds(not the fastest), be almost impossible to kill by other bosses, and have no one able to kill you in PvP read my druid post.
