[Guide] Electric burn DOT mage

Hehe, sure, why not.

Spirit gives you Ternion, though. And even if you do do not use that as your main attack, you can use its AoE to spread weapon effects.

-> A staff with Sheng Nong and some Monkey Trick jewellery takes care of resists. Or if you have it, use Boreas' Fingerbone.

like i said this character is just a test one atm so hes been made using defiler, but atm ive actually got him pretty well set using cetrus trackers hood legendary SBC with legendary viny growth soulfray fork demonskin boots and heka staff on swap out im doing same amount of damage as if i were using exact same gear as your build cos when recharge for DC is complete i quickly switch to the heka staff recast DC then switch back to the soulfray fork my rings and amulet is same as you have suggested and with the lich king is resistance reduction skill is actually being reliable atm so im all good

but if i encounter any problems ill probably take of the rings and replace them with occult rings enchanted with monkey king tirckery and use a staff enchanted with shen nong like you have suggested

i actually like vision of death better then sands of sleep because if the enemies survive before fear times out by the time the get back to me they are dead but with sands of sleep they can start attacking again as soon as they wake up

ive also recently started a proper version seen i pretty got my end game gear set out so now to just find gear along the way until i can reach the end game gear lol

Certainly Ternion is a great skill for damage too, if you focus on it. It's just not its role in this build, which besides requires Dream.

You may want to take this to the "pwning with spirit" thread.

would this work with nature?

[Nightmare14]

if you want this specific style then not really as the wolves and plague would keep waking up the enemies, unless you plan on only use heart of oak and possibly regrowth and leaving plague and wolves and nymoh out

[Fozzie]

Also, Briar Ward can buy you some time during which the monsters can sizzle

[jonnymon69]

was thinking of using heart of oak, bair ward and plague as the skills from nature, regrowth in later difficulties, and not using any pets bar maybe the nightmere.

i also have 2 sets of night mistress gear 4 normal and epic that i was thinking wud be a good set 2 go with unless there is better.

You need gear which boosts either Int or EBD. Uniques like Glykon Acolyte's Robe and Amulet of Morpheus are best for that. Unfortunately, many of them only drop in Act IV Legendary and very rarely even then. So it's a tough build unless you twink.

[jonnymon69]

i will give it a go and c if i can make it work

After getting a huge disappointment from Diablo 3, I went back to titanquest
I must say this char is rly NICE and FUN to play! Tvm for the guide Violos!
Unfortunately, +- 2 years ago when I saw this post I was lacking of free time...
I also lost part of my backups But I remember my "goal" was +- like this:

Amulet: Morpheus
Rings: int rings with Hammurabi's or other relic for resistances
Weapon: Soulflay
Shield: a low str with resists

Armor: The two parts of the Raiment of Carnus I choose for the %50 EBD was the Grip and the Pillars. The grip cos it comes with a nice %EBD and casting speed, and the pillars cos I think we have better options for the chest armor like Calypso's Cover or Vestment of the Overlord (+2skills to improve 'flush out' abit, max dream and nice stats). For the headgear I had a crazy Socrates'/Plato's whatever of Divination which I think is not so hard to get, and this one with Odysseus relic will give some crazy amounts of int.

Artifact: To compensate the absence of the archmage's clasp, I was planning to use the Talisman of the Jade Emperor, the 50%elemental res, -25%recharge are rly nice and the 15% str will help to get a better shield.


a good tip for the shield: With this char you'll have 170str base, you can get +42 from quests so that's 212 base. There is also 15%str from the jate emperor and +- 10%str Amulet of Morpheus. Adding all that and you could have +-265str base. I don't remember the exact number, but I'm almost sure that 265 is enough (or close) to use the normal version of the soldier's unyeilding will for the +300DA and 7%CtDA, you can put a Hector's relic for even more crazy DA or a rigid carapace for a big pierce res.
