[Guide] Electric burn DOT mage

[Violos]

Hi jna, and welcome to the forums!

It really is kind of sad how D3 turned out after all that D2 was, but then again that means that TQ lives on as strong as ever. So welcome back there too.

Build sounds good. And thanks for the tip with the shield. For a Haruspex with Wood Lore, that is of course very exploitable. Added it to the list.

Hey Violos! Thank you
I've always been a big fan of ARPGs. I'm just trying to be more participative now.

Btw, thanks again for the great guide! I was looking for a char like this long time ago, but I had doubts about how good this could be in legendary. I changed my mind after reading this guide.
And also, the "kill while they sleep" thing... rofl, amazing and hilarious. I rly loved this rogue-mage Freddy Krueger.

About the D3... yeah, that's very sad. I'm not only disappointed with the D3, but with the position that Blizzard is taking, their new perspectives. Looks like this new approach of game's design over-priorize the return they want to have with the product, everything else is secondary. All their games are looking more like a job than something fun made to entertain. Well, but the life goes on and new good companies are borning like 'Crate Entertainment" . I'm betting that "Grim Dawn" will teach "some people" how to do the things right.

been playing through with this build but using nature. I have made it to level 50 in act 2 of epic on xmax and only died 5 times, 3 of those where to toxus.

with plague i am only using the 1st skill and top skill leaving out the middle skill which does posion and wakes them up.

all round is a very strong toon atm but wen i get into legendary i will see how he goes

[Violos]

Lol.
So health reduction also does not wake them?

That's awesome. Never thought of testing that.
In that case, the Nature variant is indeed just as viable!

And do not worry about legendary. The int scaling is good, and in standard TQ, res reductions become more powerful as the game progresses.

no the health reduction doesnt wake them. I mostly use plague on bosses and heroes and the heroes saty asleep and bosses dont get put to sleep
