A silly build idea I had

For full release with the 175 level cap (350 points)

Plasma savant with ruthless mentality for the red on red/purple

130 weapons to start, this lets you get every weapon skill from level 50 weapons besides Sparrow Thrust (mid), Soaring Eagle (mobility and mid), and Flying Phoenix (Decent). Weapons would be Swift Sunken Sword, Swift Poison Tooth Dagger, and some sort of bleed weapon like maybe Tempered Bronze Musket.

120 magic next, because I like magic

Remaining 100 into strength for Thermofist

I would use a Burning, Melting, and Corroding grease on the weapons (order doesnt matter), along with a Bleeding gel. Thermofist would be imbued onto the Bronze Musket, Plasma would be imbued onto the Poison Tooth Dagger and Sunken Sword. Plasma would also be imbued onto Thermofist itself

Plasma gets me Scorched
Weapons get me Burning, Melting, Corroding, Scalded and Poisoned
Thermofist imbue gets me Seared

Plasma has speed imbue which is good for savants low size due to lower tiers and has the shortest DoT so its ideal to be the imbue on everything.

This build has-
Drip potential due to savant charging aura
Access to every current obtainable DoT
Immunity to Freezing, Soaked, Snowy, Bleeding and Frozen status effects due to Plasma “Flaunt”
Tier 2 Weapons
Many heat-based elements that could be used for character lore or something

What do we think :fire:

fs without rushdown seems kinda useless and especially since this is thermo fist ur using
why not just go for spirit
certain relics let u use two rites at 40+ spirit stat
and also extra drip cause ruthless spirit energy looks fucking awesome (not sure if savant will have either red or purple but both are badass either way)

thermo is solely for seared DoT (the main idea behind the build), savant will have red/gold spirit energy regardless of spirit invests

wait.. you cant even get thermo fist with 70 strength

shit wait..

heh fixed.. (silently weeping)

oh thats way better

ruthless - crimson red
nova variant or whatever - reddish red
thermofist - pinkish red

drip is fire

i can use quartz on the weapons too

or is thermo reddish red and nova pinkish red, i forget

nova plasma on top :money_mouth_face:

also does this still work cause that’d be peak

nah using other non thermo fist skill/thermo imbued skills just stop the heat bar from falling
it doesnt fill it up

dangit

id go suggest a thermo rework to make it better but the second a balance team member sees thermo they just immediately delete the suggestion :fire:

This sounds neat. Will you be able to keep all the DoTs up at the same time? Will any of your moves clear any of the status effects you are applying?

bleeding would be cleared every hit but then get reapplied on next hit because of gel, otherwise yes every DoT can be active at once but the hardest would be scorched due to its 3 second CD (which is why its got the most imbues)

here’s all of the clears
Bleeding

Burning

Scorched

Melting

Corroding
(melting is separate from magma despite being magma’s DoT)

Poisoned

Scalded

Seared

so long as you dont have sailor style, snow, wind or water you won’t clear most DoTs

Burning grease would probably be best on ssword because scalded and burning are both 5 second DoTs, Melting/Corroding are fine on the other 2 they have same length so doesnt matter

Bleeding is good but maybe blindness gel for extra frustration multiple dots plus they wont see you so you most likely have better advantage at fights unless bleedings clear dmg is a key part?

well the entire builds idea is having every DoT (only reason why im using thermofist)

Do you plan on using affliction jewels?

not sure, it’d be 1 second at most for most of the DoTs

but it’d definitely be funny
