Mystic dps builds

[Danfeop]

Hey, since getting the mystic 2 days ago ive decided to actively play her for the fun of obelisk fire.

Ive looked all through the net, youtube dd2 forum, dd2tools and here in discussions but there a mixed reviews for her play style. So would love some more input :)


One main thing i was wondering is Normal dagger with mulpitple ranged projectiles or shadowflame from wayfarer?

And then would you go hero damage(hd) or abilty power(ap)? Im already looking for hero health and hero crit but hd or ap better?
From my current testing lashout and dark torrent seem very good boss killing abilities, of course i will throw in madness shard for increased damage. So that makes me want to build AP mystic.
However so many players recomend right click HD build.

Thanks

Shadowflame dagger just wow!!

Decided to buy it and test it out. Im c6 geared, shadowflame has 6700dmg on it. Just did assault on throne room hard, i one shot everything but man this dagger wrecks.

I didnt build, i just stood in middle of map and help down right click and shot my secondary into the ground at my feet. The knives just bounced around the whole map killing everything. I won it by just shooting the ground at my feet.


So from this test alone im pretty keen on build Hero damage and using shadowflame. Will still spam my abilities for bosses but the right click just seems so strong in both clearing and for bosses(as it will bounce on the boss 4 time each click).

Burning Strikes scales off HD
Shadowflame scales off HD
Beacon of the Storm scales off HD
Serpent's Kiss scales off HH

Call to Madness scales off nothing so you still get the same utility whatever your stats are.

That leaves Dark Torment and Lash Out… The second is pretty much useless and Dark Torment can deal some nice 1m crit with only 10k AP. So I'd say, drop AP on everything but your weap and go down the HH/HD/HCD road.

yah that what ive decided to do. The shadowflam was just so much fun to right click with so HH/HD/HC it is :D

Yeah, same thing here.

I was playing a hybrid AP/HCD build but Shadowflame is just too good to pass. It's a bit sad for her two DPS abilities but yeah. It's not worth to build AP just for these two.
