I'm overall kind of not the best at making builds in this game, and I'm kind of interested in a sorcery esc dps that can handle cosmics and some late game content, Preferably using crashing incantation as that's basically the only power unlock I really have in general, and maybe star barrage/constitution secondary if possible~

    v3.34:32

    Super Stats
    Level 6: Intelligence (Primary)
    Level 10: Dexterity (Secondary)
    Level 15: Constitution (Secondary)

    Talents
    Level 1: The Glacier (Dex: 8, Con: 10, Int: 10, End: 10)
    Level 6: Covert Ops Training (Str: 3, Dex: 3, Con: 3, Int: 3)
    Level 9: Investigator (Int: 5, End: 5)
    Level 12: Coordinated (Dex: 5, Int: 5)
    Level 15: Healthy Mind (Con: 5, Int: 5)
    Level 18: Boundless Reserves (Con: 5, End: 5)
    Level 21: Acrobat (Dex: 5, Con: 5)

    Powers
    Level 1: Eldritch Bolts
    Level 1: Enchanter (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 6: Conjuring
    Level 8: Concentration
    Level 11: Star Barrage (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 14: Will-o'-the-Wisp (Guide, Cursed)
    Level 17: Conviction (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 20: Soul Beam (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 23: Eldritch Shield (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 26: Resurgence (Rank 2)
    Level 29: Imbue
    Level 32: Thundering Return
    Level 35:
    Level 38: Crashing Incantation (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Adv. Points: 30/36

    Travel Powers
    Level 6:
    Level 35:

    Specializations
    Intelligence: Preparation (2/2)
    Intelligence: Enlightened (3/3)
    Intelligence: Detect Vulnerability (3/3)
    Intelligence: Expertise (2/2)
    Guardian: Fortified Gear (3/3)
    Guardian: Ruthless (2/2)
    Guardian: Find the Mark (3/3)
    Guardian: The Best Defense (2/3)
    Vindicator: Aggressive Stance (2/2)
    Vindicator: Merciless (3/3)
    Vindicator: Focused Strikes (3/3)
    Vindicator: Mass Destruction (2/3)
    Mastery: Intelligence Mastery (1/1)

    It's not an early leveling build, ofc. DEX/Int/Con (still w/ an Int focus) could also work fine for the SS setup here.

    The core of the build is very simple: use the Wisp to debuff, Star Barrage for AoE filler, and Soul Beam for single-target filler. The open power slot can be w/e ya want. Gears mostly for Int, w/ some Con and Dex.

    This seems like exactly what I was looking for, thanks a ton!

    To slightly come back into this general thread, I'm very curious/anxious about how this would do against the ape cosmic (I cant remember his name x.x) as I don't exactly wish to wanna hit the hearts with will-o'-the-wisp, so technically is there any specific way to check that it wont happen in a sense, it may just me being dumb as its only a 10 foot cylinder. but I'm fairly new to cosmics as is so i dont exactly know

    Well, the other ways of applying Hexed involve AoE as well (Hex of Suffering and Skarn's Bane full maintains), and those powers are limited to 50ft. In a pinch, if you're worried that the Wisp's small AoE will break something, you could just opt to not use it till the window has passed. Other general option is using Eld Blast w/ Chant and Blinding Light advs to refresh both effects w/ a single-target attack- though that's a pretty niche use for a power slot when you already have the Wisp.

    Overall thanks for the quick reply, I think I may need to fully wait to get too 40 to give my entire view on this, but once again it may just be my brain playing tricks on me, thinking a 10 foot move would do something that neesh for a cosmic
