So a few things:
- Agility doesn’t work in combat rn, it’s purely for map movement and is getting removed next update
- I wouldn’t suggest putting regen on a mage, it works best on vitality builds, but I can do it
- Atlantean amulets are inefficient due to the possibility of putting a modifier such as crystalline on it, and then putting the atl on something else with an atlantean essence
I’m not super good with budget builds, but if you could get atlantean on something else, then you could try to get a crystalline power amulet (it’s probably ~10k-20k or ≈ an armored or powerful scroll)
Here’s the build, I’ll explain why I chose what I did below
TLDR I’m bad at making budget builds, and Cernyx sucks ass for no apparent reason. If you want me to add Regen, I will probably use Lost Envoy, which is decently expensive (and regen gems bc they’re efficient)
The first accessory and the pants are Lightning Arcmancer. Although it uses agility, which is a junk stat, it still has better EP than Cernyx:
Comparison
The Chestplate is Cernyx as due to Modifiers not scaling with the chestplates’ higher stats, it should be better than arcmancer. However, it is still worse, even considering the lost stats in agility… but I need somewhere to put the atlantean essence, which makes cernyx better in this situation (I could put it on the Amelia Cloak, but it can realistically only give speed and throw off the balance of stats, especially considering we’re using crystalline for cheaper armor [frozen and blasted are much more expensive])
Amelia Cloak is just really efficient, and not super expensive due to Amelia being easily cheesable. You should be able to get it for under 10k, try to check marketplace but don’t buy unless its really that cheap. If you want, I can literally get it for you in <30m (I want to go there anyways bc it’s the last exploration task for me in Nimbus)
Power amulet bc amulets are super efficient, crystalline to make it reasonable to buy (power amulets can get expensive asf; blasted power amulets are valued over 100k)
Most have Armored for a few reasons
A: Armored is efficient
B: Brisk or Armored on the Atlantean piece will give power (agate because it doesn’t have power for same reason) (Powerfuls or Candelaria/power gems will give Size on that piece)
C: Crystalline as our modifiers makes Brisks not needed due to already high speed
D: Defense amulets are inefficient (don’t ask me why), and we have too much speed for attack speed amulets to be viable. Due to various items such as the amulet, the cloak, the gems, the essence, and the arcmancer pieces, powerfuls aren’t really needed due to our already high power stat.
Finally, here’s the non-budget build
Big surprise, full sw
Shockingly, non-chestplate sw pieces are only a few EP higher than blasted lightning arcmancer
