Sage Meteor Strike Fireball

[Oicx]

Pretty fun one. Only 250m damage on Viaduct, but 42k kills and felt very good as soon as you picked up the Fireball upgrade.

Sage with Archer Mark
Mask of Madness
Holy Relic
Wooden Ring
Warrior's Locket
Runner Shoes
Blood-soaked Shirt
Hunter's Gloves

Took Meteor Strike as Sage main, Transfixion from the Tome to help early clear.

Weapon Proficiency:
Spread 1-4 (Reverb IV)
Quickdraw 4 (Reverb)

Proficient:
Barrage 1-4 (Reverb IV)

Dedication:
Open Mind 1 & 2
Agility 3 & 4

Meteor Strike, 210m of 250m total damage
I - Blast, II - Blast, III - Fusion & Shower
IV - Blast & Heat, V - Blast, VI - Heat, Fusion, & Shower
VII - Blast, VIII - Blast, IX - Impact & Frequency
X - Blast, Fusion, & Shower

Burn damage: 20m of 250m total

Transifixion - Mainly did attack speed, did 15m of 250m total damage. Took Affliction and Slow upgrades

Ended up taking Arcane Splinters with Charging + Split to get Frost ticks (8m total) with the Arcane Elements and Arcane Shivers upgrades.

Last skill as Astro Orbs, speed + bodies + Demonic Force with Ice conversion, Inner Orbit and Electrified Orbs.

Probably some better damage out there, but it killed the ghost walls quickly and you could just stand still and barely anything would get within 1 screen.

This build is actually OP. I Followed the guide above (ty Oicx). I only did a few small changes.

- For Dedication I snagged the one that is 10% dmg / 10% force (rank 4 is 20%)
- Top priority starting out is getting the Swift for 6% increase movement. If you see it, get it.

Get the run speed first but also get Meteor Strike to rank 3 so you can snag Fireball on the first scroll drop. Next get scattered debris then get all the transfixion for slow and affliction.

Yeah getting Meteor 3 and Fireball upgrade really ramps the build to another level.

Glad you tried it out. I'll have to see about doing the new level with it. I'm generally just running Viaducts to see what builds I can get to delete the ghost wall quickly. This one was up there.

The extra damage from the Astro Orbs/Splinter frost ticks probably isn't worth the Open Mind traits for XP, so I'll have to try the extra damage/force from Focus Mind.
