Spellblade

[axisandallies79]

About 20 hours in, after a bunch of restarts to get my character juuuuust right. I have to say that Spellblades are amazingly fun. They are not for beginners by any stretch, but if you've played a Pillar's game, and are familiar enough with spellcasting and combat, they are immesenly powerful, and you're going to be doing the most damage in the party by far. I love this game.

I'm currently using an arcane knight, feel the same.

Okay, so I want to know more about this. Tell me why you like the Spellblade so much and specifically why you think it will be the biggest damage dealer.

Give me some specifics, like spell and ability usage. How are you going about combat? What's your setup?

I'm a Cipher fan myself.

I have Aloth dual-classed for Wiz/Rogue. He has done the most damage at level 9 (I've had him in my party the whole way, so fair comp). But I figure that's to being a Rogue.

Give some some details :)

You need to go Streetfighter Rogue and Wizard without specialization.

You then need to take the following spells for the wizard, and cast them every combat (sorting by level)
1- Wiz Double, Spirit Shield
2-Infuse with Vital Essence, Mirror Image
3- Llengrath's Displaced Image, Expose Vuln
4-Iron Skin

For the Rogue portion, you really just need Finishing Blow and Devestating Blow from the actives.

Fromt he passives you need Riposte, Combat Focus and Persitant distraction.

Dual Wield Battle Axes or Sabres.

I'll let you in a little secret. The biggest damage in game comes from a level 20 character with maxed out arcana and meteor scroll. It even deals more damage than an empowered meteor from an evoker wizard.

To undestand how broken it is, one meteor scroll will nearly 1 shot the last boss in Ukaizo.

So now you pick 2 classes that are best at tanking. I went paladin/fighter and you have a guy that is immortal and deals the most damage in-game. Paladin/Monk would be good too.

Be warned as it will ruin the combat for you. I played solo on potd with level scaling mod from nexusmod and the combat just made me yawn.

except u cant spam them freely


tthanks to time parasite, a single class ascendant cipher can spam amplified wave with a total cast time+recovery time of around 1 second depending on your armor, with 0 focus cost while the ascendant buff lasts


thats 35-42 crush dmg at base per cast and each cast+recovery only lasting about 1 second total, add in power levels and might for even more dmg

switch to silent scream for a smaller and weaker alternative against crush immune enemies


and you can easily do this in every fight, without risk of hamring teamates(granted amplified wave requires one without modding)

You don't even need teammates with my build lol. Also time parasite is gonna get nerfed, it wasnt intended for it to keep stacking on itself.

Meteor Scroll ingredients are quite common actually
