Hi People,

 

First, i'm a French Guy so my English may be bad, sorry for that.

 

I would introduce you to a RM build that I'm surprise to haven't seen it : The Detonator Rift Mage

 

Here the Spells:

 

- Barrier

- Dispel

- VeilStrike
- StoneFist

- Pull of the Abyss

- Winter's Grasp

- Chain lightning

- Lightning Bolt

 

The aim of the build is simple :

 

- ennemies asleep (shock + weakness) + dispel/stoneFist = Nightmare or Rupture

- freezed ennemies + StoneFist = Shatter (well known this one)

- Paralized ennemies + StoneFist = Discharge

 

These combos deal some decent damages (in addition to other cool effects) and allow to be more versatile. The Build can CC pretty well and stays efficient on the barrier et rift fights thanks to dispel (which become a dps/cc spell with nightmare !) and it get very unique effects with the detonators. The stoneFist upgraded can even face the guard.

Furthermore, dispel can be replaced by energy barrage or immolate to get more dps (or abuse from the upgraded immolate) and Winter's grasp can be replaced by the ice mine (but an other aim of the build is to not uses mines which we can see everywhere) OR Blizzard wich work very well with the mana regen of the RM, can freeze and can cost less mana than winter's grasp.

 

Notice that weakness + shock (in that order) do not make sleep status so it's possible to use both.

 

I'm not deep in the game and I can't completely test the build and this is why I submit it to you if someone wants to give a try.

 

I Hope catch your curiosity !

Plus Restorative Veil, of course, or you'll run out of mana real fast. And Clean Burn and Flashpoint for the cooldowns once you've got the mana to use them.

Yeah, I ended up with something like this for my first mage, after a couple of respecs.

Well, I didn't mention all the passives, they're kind of obvious to me, but you're completely right.

Yes, it's a good build.

There was some discussion about it with respect to the Weakness + Lightning = Sleep bug/feature. If I recall, the general opinion was that it's a bug, but one you can exploit with a build like you described.

Thank you for approval. And it's nice to make that annoying bug a glitch.
