Ichi's AoE PvE Mystic
From Requiem Wiki
Contents |
Usage
This is an endgame mystic useful for AoE parties but fares fine solo. If you are very skilled, you MIGHT be able to do fine in PvP but this really isn't meant for it at all. At lower lvl's you will win in PvP because Shaman's are overpowered but in the higher levels you will almost positively get owned if you follow this build.
This build is meant to play in the backline of AoE parties. With hp xeon reinforced armor, you might be able to solo AoE grind but higher lvl elite mobs generally tear through you.
Also, this build might be difficult to level up from. It is entirely possible but it would be best to reskill and take on this build at 60+.
Equipment Choices
I use a wand and magic shield and best cloth armor I can farm/afford. C-I set will make sure you barely have to sit down when grinding and will give you a ton of extra damage. M-I set can be useful for soloing but I always prefer to kite to take minimal damage.
Attributes and Reinforcement
Damage Scales with int so I always reinforce my shield with int xeons, wand with magic attack power xeons, and armor with HP xeons. You can almost double your HP reinforcing with HP 30 xeons.
Weapons
Wand, Magic Shield You can use a staff but I prefer wand.
Point Allocation
Enemy Control
Chaos Totem (5) - Definitely need to level this up 4 at least
Loa's Curse (6) - I use this skill mostly in SL and now WS when no tank and we have to kite the boss and no one has holy bolt or kazara. pretty useful
AoE
Fire Totem (5) - I ran out of skills to add so i figured this one is alright for a bit of extra AoE damage. This isn't a priority. Add this skill after adding everything else
Burning Meteor (4) - This skill has AoE stun. Take it to 3 at least since the stun maxes at 3 sec for lvl 3
Burning Hell (7) - Great AoE skill with DoT
Hellfire (1) - Sadly mystics can only take this to 1. but great skill nonetheless
Soul Explosion (4) - Good AoE skill and can also be used to unstealth rogues if you are lucky
Buffs
Bloodlust (4) - Our only party buff really and well worth it
Vindictive Mind (10) - Passive buff for more damage.
Flame Shield (5) - Invest in this. One of our best skills. I tested it against a warrior a few levels lower than me and it killed him and left me with half my hp left without ever throwing a fireball
Mana Amulet (5) - In the low levels get the strengthened DNA for this. In the higher levels after getting a C-I set, it DNA isn't needed so much
Solo Attacks
Fire Ball (5) - Get this.. obviously
Flame Arrow (5) - It has horrible downtime but I when used like Fireball -> Flame Arrow -> Fireball, it basically gives massive DPS because the balls fire consecutively. Also has splashed damage so i guess i can throw this in AoE
Fillers
Home Remedy (1)
Fire Rain (1)
THIS BUILD LEAVES 3 POINTS UNALLOCATED BUT I CONSIDER IT FINISHED. THERE REALLY IS NOTHING WORTHWHILE TO ADD
DNA
Strengthened Burning Hell
Strengthened Fire Ball
Strengthened Flame Shield
Strengthened Soul Explosion
Strengthened Mana Amulet -OR- Strengthened Flame Arrow
