List of Build

How to share/submit a build : Build Format

Most builds are designed around a certain spirit and a level 20 character. Before level 20, different stats might be more important to kill mobs and level up as fast as possible so players can start working on getting the strongest endgame gear.

Build 1 : High Damage Flurry Bear

High damage flurry bear
High damage flurry bear
Spirit
Bear
Description
Use the flurry power to deal really high damage
Type
Damage
Specific Gears Runes to use Stat to focus on
  • Cowl of obscurity
  • Strength Pendant
  • 2 Loops (for all attributes)
  • Leather Belt (for crit)
  • Trinket: Smokey Orb (for dodge)
  • Axe
  • Flurry X 2
  • Charge (highest stun dur)
  • Strength
  • Attack crit chance
  • Attack crit mult
  • Physical increase

Passive tree : here

  • Chose where to put the 2 last point (Depend if you need crit or mult)

How to use :

The main idea is getting as much crit chance/mult and strength/physical increase and using flurry to deal massive damage

  • The cowl of obscurity will help you by healing you a lot
  • Having a solid ~900 hp, decent armor/resist (poison for temple/esturay) help to not getting one shot
  • Having some mana regen and using Tranquility can help because of the 12 mana cost of flurry

Flurry has gotten a significant nerf now, and it cant be used with one handed items. This makes flurry bear a much worse build, as you would need to use a one hand weapon for it to work.

Specific Gears Runes to use Stat to focus on
  • Cowl of obscurity

  • Staff/Trident

  • Arcane increase
  • Spell increase

Passive tree :

  • here : If you need crit
  • here : If you need mult

How to use :

The main idea is getting as much crit chance/mult and intellect/arcane/spell increase and using flurry to deal massive damage

  • Staff/Trident do arcane damage (Reason of the quartz/arcane increase)
  • The cowl of obscurity will help you by healing you a lot
  • Having a solid ~800 hp help to not getting one shot (You'r still a weak owl :D )
  • Having some mana regen and using Tranquility can help because of the 12 mana cost of flurry
  • You can also have a consecrate in your rune set get your hp up faster in temple farm for example

Flurry has gotten a significant nerf now, and it cant be used with one handed items. This makes flurry owl a much worse build, as you would need to use a one hand weapon for it to work.

  • As 4th rune you can use a 3rd Harvest / 2nd Charge / Tranquility / Innervation

Build 5 : Tank Bear

Spirit
Bear
Description
Max armor/resit high vit/hp regen tank (Still no way to keep aggro)
Type
Tank
Specific Gears Runes to use Stat to focus on
  • Iron armor (for lot of armor)
  • Hp regen pendant
  • 2 Loops (for all attributes)
  • Scaled Binding (for vitality)
  • Trinket: Smokey Orb (for dodge)

    • Sword + Wooden Shield (has more block)
    • Axe

  • Hp regen (~90+)
  • Armor (Max 1000)
  • Resist (Max 100) (focus poison)
  • Dodge (from boots)
  • Strength

Passive tree :

  • here : Must have point

How to use :

This build is not very good at the moment because we don't have real tank runes (Like aggro keep rune). But I tested it and it is pretty tanking enough.

  • The defensives stats must be 90%+ perfect and you need a nice pool of hp/hp regen to never be one shot
  • You can also use a Cowl of Obscurity for some free heal (But you deal low damage)
  • The 2 charges is used to spam charge stun monsters (Need ~20% mana regen) and help other to not be hit by them

(This build will have big rework when new rune will be added !)

  • Use 1 or 2 aura buff for your party member (The Sash of souls help to reduce the mana reserved of your tranquility)
