√ SeaHyper, Blood Magic Fireballer

Hello guys, I present my final Blood Magic build.

Atm I'm at level 93, with my marauder, but I choosed to insert this guide to the witch directory, because that is a caster build, and it can be started from marauder or witch.

With that build, I run any maps, very fast and pretty safe.



KEYSTONES

- BLOOD MAGIC
- UNWAVERING STANCE
- IRON REFLEXES

PASSIVE TREE

The complete build at lvl 94:


----------------------------------------------------------------

With a Legacy Kaom, remove some life, and get some more damage:



At the moment I run with 6 Endurances, I will take the last one at lvl 94.

BANDITS QUESTS

Get 2 skill points and 1 Endurance for the final build.

- SKILL POINT (or Life or Resistances for leveling)
- SKILL POINT
- ENDURANCE CHARGE

MY EQUIPMENT

This build performs well with a 6L Searing Staff and a new Kaom's Heart.







SECOND EQUIPMENT



Double Screaming Eagle with fast Lightning Warp and Arc, that is a very cool second equipment.

MAPS AND SIDEBOARD

My sideboard rings to manage resistances and curses.



FLASKS

My actual Old School flasks



ITEM MODS

All the bonus you need are:

- Spell and Fire Damage, Cast Speed, Movement Speed
- Life, Strength, Armour, Evasion, Resistances

DESCRIPTION AND SKILLS

- Fireball!
- Endurance, Curse, Discharge, on trash mobs

The overall gameplay includes 4 active skills and 1 cast on Damage Taken.

- FIREBALL - CAST SPEED - LESSER - CONCENTRATED EFFECT - FIRE PENETRATION - LIFE LEECH
- DISCHARGE - CHANCE TO IGNITE - ELEMENTAL PROLIFERATION - LIFE LEECH
- ENDURING CRY - FLAMMABILITY - CAST SPEED - AREA OF EFFECT
- CAST WHEN DAMAGE TAKEN - MOLTEN SHELL - ELEMENTAL PROLIFERATION - LIFE LEECH

Second equipment:

- LIGHTNING WARP - REDUCED DURATION - CAST SPEED
- ARC - CULLING STRIKE - ITEM RARITY

With the Concentrated Effect in place of Iron Will gem, the damage increases of about 30%, reducing the area effect of 30%. At the same time the life cost per second will increase about from 235 to 345.

I added the Elemental Proliferation support to the Molten Shell, that with 20 Quality it has 30% chance to ignite, it works like a second Discharge.

CONSIDERATIONS

That is a great build!

A build with very high DPS in solo playing, one shotting a lot of mods with a single discharge.

In party games he has a good DPS too, and with Grace and Determination of the party he could also be played as a tank.

Having good armour, lot of life and being a ranged character, it has a lot of survavibility in any situations.

Reflect mods can be managed with a Ruby Flask and paying some attention in particular situations.

See you at the next step and enjoy the burn!

E bravo Sea... bella la build, e anche il post fatto molto bene....chissà se un giorno non ti copio la build :D

Why not use concentrated effect or quality added lighting instead of iron will? Iron wills damage mod is additive with nodes and gear thus not as impressive as might first appear.

Yeah, effectively with the Concentrated Effect in place of Iron Will, the damage increases of about 30%, reducing the area effect of 30%, that is interesting and it could be a really strong variation against hard bosses. At the same time the life cost per second will increase from 237 to 344.

I added the note, thanx for the suggestion.

I think unwavering stance is not needed in that build. With 8400 life a monster needs to deal more than 840 damage to make it past the 20%-chance-to-stun threshold. With mitigation by your armour/molten shell/endurance charges/granite no white or blue mob should be able to stun you.

I love that keystone, and for just two points, it should be taken in my opinion, also to avoid some desync caused by stun, though is not often, also it fits perfectly with Iron Reflexes.

About the Iron Reflexes kestone, it adds up to 1000 potential more armour with right items, and it's very strong in party games, when the auras are shared.

I'm going pretty well with those two keystones, thanx anyway for the tips.

Gave this build a try as i wanted something different. Started as Marauder.
Leveling is pretty rough, I went for bloodmagic along the edge so i could grab RT for leveling.

I respecced a few points around level 48, dropped RT, got 2 endurance charges and got a cheap ST. i found my single target lacking a little so i have a searing bond totem on if i need it, use it often on rares and bosses.

Currently links are:

Fireball/LMP/FirePen/LifeLeech
Discharge/Eleprolif/ChancetoIgnite/LifeLeech
SearingBond/IncreasedBurn
Cwdt/FrostWall/MoltenShell/EnduringCry
EnduringCry(unlinked)
LeapSlam(just for jumping up/down cliffs etc)

Not reached maps yet so can't say how it will perform, but looks very promising at the moment.
Obviously with koams this build would be insane, but even without its very good and not a boring play style. Thanks

Very nice, tell us your experience too. I'm enjoying very much with this build.

I'm seeing the BM build is also more cheaper than others, for example I have a CI witch too, with a lot of potential, but much more expensive in my opinion, she is blocked at level 89.

P.S. I'm leveling the last gems, and I reached the top 1000 rank in the meanwhile.

I updated my character, did some little respect and tried the concentrated effect gem.

Now I'm at 92, and I going like a train, enjoy the fire!
