If I'm going to pull this off in PVE then I might as well be... 1. On Thaumaturge 2. Using Conduit of Ice on Tab, then using Fanning the flame, steal time, and Icy terrain. At will should be Chilling Cloud and Scorching Burst 3. Dailies are ArcSing and whatever on the second Opener would be scorching burst, then throw in…
@OP Well, if we will be really going for instant 3 HV stacks in an instant try using Entangling Force on mob groups. You gain +1350 def. Although its seldom you see arcane builds with EF on tab after feywild. You can go with Chill Strike on tab as others have said.
In copticon'es thread they stated there the powers affected by Evocation, not all. Can someone prove this? Anyway great advice, I'll try this. Its hard to squeeze in more crit and less recovery though , I am using High Vizier and CN orb+talisman, so I get more recovery and less crit. If I'll be going shadow weaver though,…
Finally kerro, this is the thread I am very curious about lol. Anyway an awesome, straightforward build. I also respecced after feywild back to Thaum. I still preferred Controlling action over fight on though, and I am not contesting into a debate which is better, I already know your answer (yeah, AP from this feat is…
Got back to this build copticone :) cheers Only changes I've made though, I still used Elemental Empowerment, and no Fight on. :) cooldowns are fine for me anyways @ 3600 recovery. freezing skirmishes in sharandar like crazy :) using storm pillar and sudden storm too, still getting the hang of it. Feels weird since I'm…
My arcane renegade build struggles as well. With shield's new formula to arcane stack mastery now giving me horrible AP and cooldown I might switch back to this build.
@likeclokwerk Do not get caught by the mentality of some players that High Vizier = Thaum and Shadow Weaver = Renegade. If this is the case then Magelord's for Oppressor? lol. Yeah, they both have synergies but still you have a choice. I'm also a renegade here, and I use High Vizier (sometimes I use different sets but this…
Thanks for this grimah, I think it's still 20% for the damage reduction. But how do you do the damage math if you have masterful arcane theft feat @ 5 arcane stacks? does it give a rough 30% more damage in total rather than 15%(without feat)?
I randomed:) lol, a bit but im going the DPS route as well. I'm not that much affected by the shield nerf but of course it cut me down a bit. I have gone renegade for the sake of maintaining Arcane stacks for steal time and RoE(masterful arcane theft). I'm that guy who uses steal time for instantly killing trash mobs and…
This. This is the best reply in this thread. Coming from a player who knows the math in maximizing damage. Damage =kill. Kill =control. Debuffing forever is good but not gold. Max arp + thaumaturge(elemental empowerment in general Combined with CoI and other powers) provides reasonable debuff at efficient DPS. Totally…
Well, aside from you kerro, copticone and grimah, I learned a few from Kriparrian as well so I mentioned him way back in my 1st post. To point it out, its the AP generating stuff I really saw in action in his videos. But I totally disagree with his pure Recovery concept and overall stat build. He convinced me for…
It's always good to see constructive replies from people. I'm not really contesting high vizier to begin with, my very first post even implies that I agree to the 4-set bonus of high vizier set is best, but not gold all the time. I, too, still use the set, but as far as reality goes, I chose to deal damage with reasonable…
Uhm, Kripps' is using HV...(-_-), the thing I got from his play is the recharge speed increase feats he used and PowerS he utilized, not the full build lol.. I also use high vizier in some cases. I do not contest it's usefulness, rather I find the setup I posted bringing greater damage into the table. @ 9,600 attack…

I can suggest high vizier set on top of the three if we are talking about full sets.., but.. lately I find the 4-set bonuses not really much helping. In the end if you would fully understand stats and what they do, their diminishing returns and what feats gives best synergy to your build, the full set bonuses really doesnt…
Hi Grimah, visiting your thread again would like to add, Ray of enfeeblement also has benefit from Arcane Stacks by having increased debuff duration. You may want to add it in the Arcane Stacks section of your guide:)
Hi, I was intrigued by the title and found some great points since I am also following copticone's build One question though, what is the optimal ArP needed based from your suggestion? I mean, we are already stacking up huge debuffs mostly on defense reduction via high vizier and thaumaturge tree. Not only that what if you…
Thanks for the advice previously copticone, will be going for some ArPs once I get the right equipment. So far with zero ArPs I still did pretty good with this build and even had most damage dealt ratings. I followed your Arcane Singularity/Chill Strike Conduit of Ice in mastery, then Steal Time, Shield and Icy terrain…
I was forced to create a forum account because of the fact I also have some questions for copticone My 1st post. Lol Just respecced my fresh lvl 60 Renegade (supposed to be) CW and started to follow this build. Even bought the suggested equipment such as the High Vizier set. Which I am glad because the Epic weapon set is…
