Arcanist Build

[Joja]

Hey Guys, can someone please link/recommend me a fun Arcanist build. It's the only class I haven't been able to get into and feel like I'm missing out on something. Cheers in advance.

The following link is for a really fun Druid build based on lightining and cold. I have two Arcanist builds and I prefer this one over my Devestation build right now. You will notice a few different people post different versions of this build in the thread so you can add their ideas to the build if you wish as I did. I chose a slightly different devotion setup from the original build as well and grabbed Tempest and Spirit of Winter.

The Wind Devils are a lot of fun!

+1 for Trozan's builds. Another tempting option is to go Spellbreaker and whack people in the face with weapons while Trozan's is on cooldown while also cutting enemy cold resistance. Though that may not feel as much of a caster if that is what you are going for.

You can play the Druid build to 20/20 to get a feel for how it plays. If you don't like it by then, the gameplay doesn't change much so you can drop the build without investing more time.

Only need 1 point in base Wind Devil and 1 point in Frozen Core for the freeze modifier. As you can see the framework of the build is complete by level ~24 depending on what other skills you pick up along the way. You can use Ice Spike from Chilled Steel to help level and give you something to spam while waiting for Trozan's to come off cooldown.


Another fun build is Aether Ray converted to chaos damage with the Occultist mastery. It can be a bit tricky to balance offence, defense, and energy management but as long as you get everything in line that build is extremely powerful.
