Unarmed mage build

[zaknafein196]

Hello did any one try making a frost/unarmed character? does this mix work with any of the spell schools?

Im running that now. The frozen debuff works really well with unarmed since it lowers crush armor. Using two frost spells for frozen debuff then illusion and vigor spells to buff my punching :D

Feels like Tyranny's skill and spell system is fool proof and you can really just do w/e you want haha

On normal difficulty you should be able to get away with almost any build.

I do think specialized builds are stronger because they require less attributes. With a specialized build you can focus on two attributes.

The other issue is you have a limited amount of slots that fill up quickly.

I did Unarmed and picked a random spell.

my lore, sub, and atlethics were so high i was able to do everything in act I and II. without issues. i put 2 point on each stat to begin with and then i focused on quickness for cooldowns.

the i just kept using shortrange spells to train.

Imagine my surprise when i picked shock only because the spell you get was supposed to be a punch, alas it was like any other spell.

Running a similar build. Punching things and then using spells. It's fun.

This sounds like a great build, reccomended as a first class to play?

gave it a spin now, mostly packing points into quickness. Seems to be going well. Usually I play a warrior, but in this game a wizard seems to fit my idea more, the punching is also working so far

Wait till you get The Lava weapon sigil it gets better
you need matrial sigil with it tho but you'll basically have a flame thrower

My party is Barik (Tank) + Sirin (Support / Heal) + Lantry (Heal + CC spells) + Me (Buffer + CC spells)

I find that those illusion spells get super crazy later on, one cast of an aoe spell causes a group of enemies to take like 4-5 debuffs (Confusion + dazed + paralysis + rooted + etc)
