Why is PvP hell for me?

anything for extra damage and defense man

So no drawback, and also not the newer ideas? Hm

run this build don’t listen to what those goons say

You use a build that heavily relies on status effect/magic rubble to do damage over time

And you got 65 intensity?

Invest more into intensity, also make sure you hit hard and heavy, not quick with lots of attacks

Uhh get rid of drawback, just trust me bro

My idea is to not cater too much to my secondary method of damage. The DoT is just to keep active while I can’t land a hit.

“extra defense” I promise you, drawback is a scam you are NOT getting defense from it

YES. THIS IS BEAUTIFUL.

THAT is how you make a good build. No drawback. NO insanity. I’d now maybe try to add some agility bc I personally hate playing without it, but that’s up to you. People say it’s not good in PvP but trust me it is, depending on how much the other person has too tho

Yeah Agility isn’t really my type for mages, but if I’m expected to have it in there, do I just do the old build without drawback?

If I might ask, which of the two builds looks better?

erm, insanity is great.
insanity 1 is literally free stats the effects are so minimal

Okay, here’s one that’s a bit more of a direct change.
Just removed the drawback from the first build and then fixed up everything it was missing.


So it’s that

or this

so true

Guys, which one is better?

Imo the one w/ agility is better. Me personally, I would trade 30 power for 72 agility. Think of it like this: you’re trading 30 damage to be able to catch people, run from people, and distance and/or close distance easier/faster, which will all help you deal more damage overall and increase your survivability

Makes sense to me.

I’ve had it up to here.
Raw output-based build, anyone?


Yes, it has drawback
Yes, that’s what yall told me not to do
I’m not trying to play casually with this one, I’m trying to crush heads.

If you’re comfortable with the insanity visuals and can land most of your shots then go for it. The 40 attack speed might not make much of a difference though, it usually shows more of an effect when you invest more than 100

Well, that’s just because sheer power gems are useless compared to ones that add speed.

Half the damage comes from the DOT
Just trust me, invest into vitality
It also increases poison cloud size

Has Drawback… try again…

And NO Atlantean WTF???
