A Renegade build is based on the premise of high critical severity. Therefore, one of the most important feats to acquire is Phantasmal Destruction. 15 points must be placed in to the Renegade tree.
This leaves 16 points to be placed in to the Thaumaturge tree which can only provide a CW with Tempest Magic, Destructive Wizardry, Frozen Power Transfer, and one additional point.
If I were to build hybrid, I would want 5/5 Transcended Mastery along with Phantasmal Destruction. This would make my single target damage absolutely amazing with a critical hit on Icy Rays. However, it's not possible.
I have to then conclude that the remaining 16 points left over from not having to spend them in the Renegade tree for Phantasmal Destruction might as well be placed in to a further investment of the Renegade tree or, as in Grimah's build, in to the Oppressor tree + the Renegade tree.
As a Renegade, I would be generally slotting:
Entangling Force Mastery, Steal Time, Shard of the Endless Avalanche, and Sudden Storm.
Given these choices in powers, I am better off putting points in to Masterful Arcane Theft than in to Destructive Wizardry because Masterful Arcane Theft has the potential to provide more of a damage boost to both Steal Time and Ray of Enfeeblement, (for single target,) than Destructive Wizardry.
With that said, I do think that a Thaumaturge/Renegade hybrid build is possible by heavily investing in to Thaumaturge as a primary tree.
Like this: Calc Link
Or this: Calc Link
A Thaumaturge Build for Fury of the Feywild
^ This is a build that is a partial hybrid.
probably the most viable if doing hybrid, that 1 extra point i just threw into severe reaction. Using this would require you to use eye of the storm to get the most out of it (for nightmare wizardry to proc).
dont think its worth it though the final feats only cost 1 point and provide alot more.
and also the featured satirical comedic adventure "A Call for Heroes".
IMO, going thaum and selecting Critical Power and Nightmare Wizardry will yield the best of both worlds.
Try it, master it, love it!
Encounters that i use are the ones i have slotted.
I may witch out reapers for critical powers after the patch but atm i dont have any problems with ap gain since we just kill all mobs after 1 arcane singularity or keep them grouped up in a corner.
I'm using perfect vorpal if u cant afford a vorpal u may wanna stick with elemental empowerment instead of phantasmal.
And yes i know this build is medicore for singletarget dps!
