Do sb know why he is using crimson jewel the vigil ? is % armour rly that great ?


it's for the fortify mechanic.
the only problem I am facing in t16 maps is to scale up the damage against endgame? bosses. A decent scepter is not easy to find rightnow.
I currently setting at 8000 mana but the damage is still bit lacking.
So, I tried gearing to match what was in the path of building link but I don't have too much currency and I'm wondering if I switched too early.
Part of the issue is that I bought a 5l zodiac with all green sockets because the builder inventory said all green without thinking about it and now am only running it as blade blast, archmage, lightning pen because I'm out of money.

Clearing packs is OK in t2 maps, bosses take forever, and I'm not sure if there's a mechanic I'm missing but the ghosts summoned by generals cry never seem to cast anything.

Sitting around 4400 max mana and not sure if that's enough to take agnostic but it's slightly hard to survive as well though that might be partially because fortify is never up.

You need The Vigil unique jewel active to make the General's Cry ghosts grant Fortify to their allies (i.e. you) when they hit with Vigilant Strike.

If you don't have that jewel, you need to drop General's Cry and use Vigilant Strike manually.

Newer player here.

Can someone lend me a hand in regard to the gear I should be aiming for while leveling and when respec to archmage? It's the only thing I'm struggling with.

I'm currently level 35 and my gear is quite bad, just stuff I grabbed from the gound and a tabula rasa but I will need to start kinda putting some thought into it, some help would be amazing.


your profile is on private. make it public in the private-options, so we can have a look at your gear etc.


I think I fixed it now? It should be in public.

Note I'm just leveling right now, but some assistance would be good.

If you want some easy currency, once you swap to AM you should basically be able to max complete Ulti's in BA, you get a bunch of 5l/6s's, lots of hard currency, etc.. you can even throw on some additional mf gear to do it. I did it in ssf without much problems once I made the swap. Just run in circles and bfbb into the middle whenever you get ahead.
hello and thanks for the guide!
I am wondering what is the best weapon for this build and which stat to prioritize?

like is spell damage better then let say lighting damage or elemental etc?

i bought a sceptre the other day thinking it would make me do more damage because the overall stats seemed better but it didnt when i looked it up, my damage got lower.

I dont know if there is an order or something to make sure i get the best weapon posssible.

Thank you guys!
