Melee/Caster Dream questions.

[ee.FalleN]

Hello there.
Just started to play with my friend few days ago. And we have some questions about melee and casting dream spells/abilities.

One of my friends is playing as Evoker. He has maxed Distortion Wave and Distort reality trees. And he is confused about what gear should he use. +% elemental damage seems to make no +damage at all and the physical damage of distortion wave is weak in legendary. So, should he put only 1 point in wave, resonance and distort reality and look for +% total/electrical burn damage gear? Is strength scales the damage of distortion wave and distort reality?

The other one of my friends is playing as a Templar. He has similar questions about those two skills. What skill is better to use for a melee Templar? Distortion Wave or Distort Reality?

Intelligence increases electrical burn, and as you've noticed +% elemental/lightning does not. Str does not increase the physical component.

Distortion Wave is awesome because it slows down monsters so much. Maybe he could manage with only one point in the skill. Templars don't generally have that much int, so the electrical burn may be insufficient in legendary.

Temporal Rifts just looks cool, does lots od damage and it petrifies for what seems like an eternity. Quite common setup is to put one point in DR and max TR for the petrify effect.

Thanks alot.

one point in TR and max DR for the petrify effect.

You mean the other way around.


@FalleN
For an Evoker, TR is useful for the damage as well.
So is psionic immolation, while a melee really needs just the one point base skill.

You can find more info about this in my DOT guide.
