(LoD refers to the Legacy of Dreams Legendary Gem).
Nicknamed the “Bazooka” Build, this is a highly flexible Build that is capable of incredible damage. Damage on this Build revolves around Meteor. It does not rely on any sets, but rather a few legendaries to enhance your Skills.
Skills
This build mainly involves the use of Meteor, using it with the Star Pact Rune to deal massive damage to groups.
Besides Meteor, the other core Skills of this build are:
- Archon – will give a boost to damage and mitigation.
- Storm Armor – will give you some extra damage, and will give a massive defensive boost (when using the Halo of Karini).
- Magic Weapon – Increases damage and grants a shield.
- Spectral Blade, Electrocute, or Magic Missile can be used to work with Arcane Dynamo, giving a damage boost and another effect depending on the Rune.
- Black Hole – gathers enemies together, while also giving a boost to mitigation and damage with the Spellsteal Rune.
Passives
- Galvanizing Ward – will grant an extra shield when not taking damage.
- Evocation – grants extra Cooldown Reduction.
- Arcane Dynamo and Audacity can be used to give an extra boost to damage.
- Blur – can be used for extra damage reduction.
Equipment
The Grand Vizier, Mempo of Twilight, and Nilfur’s Boast all greatly enhance Meteor. The Swami and Fazula’s Improbable Chain both boost Archon. Squirt’s Necklace and Convention of Elements boost overall damage, while Pauldrons of the Skeleton King, Aquila Cuirass, Stone Gauntlets, Ashnagarr’s Blood Bracer, and Halo of Karini all boost survivability. Obsidian Ring of the Zodiac will reduce all of your cooldowns.
Legacy of Dreams is an essential Legendary Gem to this build, as it will massively increase your offense and defense for having only legendary gear equipped. Bane of the Trapped and Zei’s Stone of Vengeance will generally be the other best choices for Legendary Gems, both of which will further increase your damage.
