best sage abilities?

[martwica]

title.
i like arcane rift for the gameplay but idk about others. i unlocked sage today so i didn't test much but i get overwhelmed by the enemies very often and arcane rift is sometimes hard to use because it spawns in the middle of the horde

Arcane Rift can be several magnitudes of brain off haha magic go boom fun. I usually select the Cleric Mark, if only because it provides benefits to Magic damage as well as decent survival traits like defense/regen. If you want full blown stupidity, get the wandering rift upgrade. The rifts slowly move toward you and you can get silly chain explosions.

Sage takes a lot of getting used to, he operates in such a wildly different manner. It's kinda refreshing.

Pick morning star and boost the crap outta it, unlock the chain damages upgrade along with plenty of multistrike and attack speed.....got yourself a lawnmower of supreme violence.

Hi,

like @thegreatvarholy said, Sage is special, but still insane broken.

You can check out this if you like:

My all time favorite is Meteor Strike into Fireballs, but you can do all kinds of dumb.
Arcane Rift can be built insanly with Elemental Rifts.

The important part, especially for Chambers of Dissonance Agony, if you dont utilize defense in any way for your Build to deal damage, banish it.
Sage has poor defense and investing in those stats is a waste, unless you aim for a full Tank.

Happy Shredding,
Cheers!

Well I usually went for abilites>movement>tank so maybe that's why I struggled a bit

Agreed, morninstar is very strong but I played it a lot so tried to avoid picking because I like diversifying my runs
