What's a good second mastery for Dream(AOE Damage)

[Malidor]

Hi guys, I was wondering if I wanted to make a Earth/Dream class because someone I was online with yesterday said Dream was awesome AOE damage, so I got the idea to focus on AOE damage to deal with big hordes of monsters. Earth is also meant to be big AOE damage so I could use that to my advantage?Also could I use a Trance skill with Fire weapons?

Can't help with the Earth part, as I am playing it with Storm, but Dream has awesome AoE capabilities. Distortion Wave and Psionic Immolation, and Distort Reality with its synergy are more than capable of taking down all trash with just one cast if you have your toon geared correctly... thru Epic act 3 for sure. Both Storm and Earth have their own AoE spells, so they compliment the Dream DoT's very nicely.

Can you use a Trance with fire weapons? Short answer: Yes? Not sure what your question here is.... Trance of Wrath will reduce enemies' Fire resist, so that synergizes... but I don't think the others have any interactions that I can see...

Good luck with your build!

Thanks bro, you really helped.

Lucid Dream tree, DR/TR and DW/PI are great features on the Dream mastery for AoE build, adding up Earth (prolly the best AoE out there), so you do the math. About the trances... I'd keep between ToC and ToW. ToW will cover a great 'weakness' on the Earth mastery, nothing to reduce resist. It's no Sapros, but it's better than nothing. The problem is it's range, too close for a caster to be on the safe side. Good ol' VO/Eruption to your feet and Stone form as they come closer is awesome. You could use a staff + Shen-Nong's against bosses or something.

Base build.

Look up ASYLUM's Evoker guide. Great build an guide for Evoker users. I've used it myself
