Absolute legend! Thank you for posting this. I don't keep track on items because I never know where my builds are going to go until the end.

Dang, I don't have exact locations but @haplyxtash5494 posted some of the known locations. I remember getting the final upgrade during a companion ending quest. It is so crazy how many items get thrown at you during companion quests, a lot of which you can't go back and get once missed.

Fun is what I aim for! Currently working on more builds since community interest is high. I might replay warrior again since I beat the game on warrior first but it was Underdog difficulty and the build wasn't nearly as good as my mage and rogue on Nightmare. Probably plan to see a new warrior guide!

@@ImJustAnthonyTube I'm trying to build a smash warrior because I really like kicking the mobs. And I hate cooldowns, so I want it mostly spamming the abilities. A lot of rage gen + smash damage.

It's unfortunate some people don't want to better themselves so only complaints happen. The base combat system without abilities for each class is already fun when you master it. Add abilities and skill tree, game elevated to be even more fun and see if your mad scientist brain can make a monster or a dumpster fire. I'm not immune to dumpster fire builds sometimes! Haha

I really like afflictions and Nightmare has enemies a little more tanky so affliction stacking helps take them down. Extra potions are always nice as well. Taking the extra affliction stack on this rogue build would give you 11 bleed stacks early in the game! ( 3 standard, 6 from unique sword, 1 from skill tree by Pilfir, and 1 from Faction.)

I believe that being able to use the crit ability spam that stacks all afflictions and with an ultimate that does constant DPS separate from our own DPS really elevates this build to the top. Play style and personal preference will dictate the best build for each player. I had the required Helmet to legendary and the required unique belt before I was level 50 and I also think this elevates the build because you don't need the special upgrade shop at the end game before the final boss. I was able to massacre the LvL 50 Blight Dragon in Crossroads at LvL 48 without him hitting me a single time and very fast kill. Probably my highest performing build out of the three I made. (Whisper "Spellblade was still my most fun to play")

@ interesting!! Appreciate the additional context too! Be great to see you experiment with reaper shield throw build too, I heard that can hit some crazy numbers - from each bounce too! I’ll try this out on my rogue first though, definitely love the playstyle.

I know you can get one copy from the special shop in Minrathous called the Black Emporium. The Caretaker unlocks it later in the game with a quest.

Weisshaupt siege main quest , black emporium and grey warden vendor,

So true so true. I shall carry this shame with me. I fast clicked save Minrathous because I was speedrunning. RIP Treviso

Awesome! This build was fun from start to finish. I hope you enjoy your fast ultimate recharges in the early and mid game to constantly throw bombs everywhere! So satisfying until you are ready to transition to all projectiles in the late game.

Glad you like my build! I am currently debating on working on some extra builds for each class on my free time. You are not the first person to ask for a staff build so I may look at some ideas and I will post a guide if I can create a crazy build. No mediocre builds here! We want that juice!

EXACTLY! My first 2 guides I talk about Tincture Kit being the best belt because massive healing and revive which is true for those builds. Pilfer on rogue changes that because you get constant potion effects without actually using your potions. I also used the BEES unique belt early when I was bleed stacking and I agree that the bleed+bees was so much damage! Glad I'm not the only one who did this while leveling. The AOE bleeding belt was my preferred belt for most the game. Thanks for watching!

great build and pretty unique from what I've seen. What ended up being your favourite class amongst the three playthroughs you did and why?

I would say the most fun I had was with the mage. You strip away the abilities from all the classes and the orb and blade combat style of the mage is the most fun. Tossing out AOE elemental orbs to stack a magic bomb on targets then using your blade to detonate those bombs is satisfying especially when you acquire the talent that lets you throw your blade to detonate the bombs. OVERALL, every class if fun and they designed each class very well. It makes playing the game at least 3 times worth just to try all classes. Most guides don't cover the basic combat system for each class with weapon combos ( light/heavy attacks and charged light/heavy attacks plus agile attacks) which is a big part of the early to mid game since you don't have ability spam like most end game guides show. Survival early is your own skill and the mage feels the best for me personally.

If you click the extended information for any ability to see their critical strike condition it will also tell you that you get +15% ability power when the skill is acquired. This is great because even though we only use 3 abilities the game still let's us have a bonus for pathing through skills. You can test this by checking your ability power number with and without a new skill allocated. This was actually told to me by another commentor when I was build crafting the warrior guide and it is amazing to know because getting all the skills on the tree is a big ability power increase.

@@ImJustAnthonyTube huh, the more you know!

Honestly I wouldn't worry too much on multiple afflictions pre 30 but you can always use the meteor ability on multiple target groups early because it is fun! Most of the game pre 30 can be completed with the correct orb and using your arcane bomb triggers properly. After 30 you definitely want to be using the void blade primarily, so have fun with the other abilities before you can't anymore!

DOTs make us feel a certain type of happy so we need them to be very OP when the build is finished! haha

I talk about leveling items in the equipment section and generally you can use whatever you find while leveling that works for you until you are fully ready at the end. The correct elemental orb vs each different enemy type is very helpful as well as anything with affliction duration early on because it's hard sometimes to maintain without duration increase. Work on your weaving with your orb and light/heavy attack combos for over half the game before your gear becomes more settled. Orb and blade combat combos are king!

@@ImJustAnthonyTube my bad! I ment the unique gear .. pink? Purple? The weird coloured ones.. thanks for commenting tho.

Oh the unique items! One of them is popular for ability spam builds and it's the ring that makes all your abilities always crit but that really changes the build a lot. I made this build with the intention to absolutely not need unique and I actually think it is better because it doesn't use unique items. I encourage anyone to put unique items in the build and make it even better! A great build guide can sometimes be improved by someone else with a great vision.

Ability spam was definitely something I noticed others were achieving with success so I tried really hard to show that full affliction could also be amazing with still ability spam mayhem. THANK YOU for testing the helmets. That type of information is HUGE to know and for speculation on other stuff and how it works ( Looking at you - Companion relationship damage?).

@ImJustAnthonyTube Yeah, I had to test those helmets out because it was so unclear as to what exactly the bonus was. What really made me think about it is when another video stated that the defiant silence helmet gave 320% crit damage. Then i looked at another helmet that gives 15% light attack damage based on faction strength, and I thought " there is no way a single item gives 480%".

Companion enchants most likely whatever flavor you want. As long as you can apply bleed late game for your glacier spike to crit for mana return. Can use "Attack my Target apply bleed" to easily fulfil that if you don't want to use lucanis or harding. Build can be flexible and I'm sure others are going to make it even stronger than I have with some tweaks.

Also, marshmallow of a dwarf had me! Thank you for watching and giving me a good laugh.

I've had to be really tenacious in opening chests to get my gear to legendary. I had a (wrong) legendary for every gear slot before any of my equipped fear got there.

Most of your gear will not be legendary unless you complete all the content and find every piece of hidden loot in the game. This game has a lot of priority on exploration and side quests. Finish all zones and finish all companions. People watch me on stream and tell me they didn't know how many items they were skipping until they see me getting upgrades every few rooms with all the hidden chests. My new rogue playthrough has some items already purple before I was even level 15. Embrace your exploration inner demon!

Glad you liked it! It's long but I wanted the guide to be very detailed so new players could also fully understand each important part.

I like to make guides for builds that I play from start to end so I would need to make another mage. Currently thinking about moving over to rogue next. If the rogue goes well then maybe another mage. A staff lazer beam build does sound fun.

Same! I wanted to just make a burn and shock build because it was obvious but then being able to put every affliction in the game on the target and make them permanent really elevated the build. Glad you enjoy!

More dots! All the dots! Thanks for watching! Appreciate the support.

They think they tough until you start taking off their safety helmet! "No no no no! wait wait wait wait!" :)

Put his face in the dirt for me! He was needed so I had a good respec after that fight.

For how early you get that axe, it is crazy strong with no downside. At least no downside that was obvious to me before I exchanged it for something else.

Awesome, thank you! Mage guide coming soon.

I think they did a good job on warrior making it not feel like just a melee class. Each class seems to have decent build concepts for multiple playstyles. Enjoy the journey my friend!

Everything affliction related puts a wicked grin on my face. Good suggestions my friend!

That sounds so nice! Having the time slow definitely solves some problems I had with trying out stagger builds vs bosses. I swear, the companion choices are so important for builds! Thank you for sharing! I'm working on the nightmare mage build guide currently and then perhaps rogue after. So many possible builds that it's nice to hear what other people are crafting.

@@ImJustAnthonyTube Oh nice, looking forward to it! 🙂👌

Yes indeed. I'm playing on ultra wide but streaming different ratio so it fits full screen on Twitch with their limitations. I also have a widescreen format that I use with overlay to hide the black bars on top and bottom when I use the correct ratio.

We are level 41 I believe after todays stream and the spellblade domination is alive! I'm having twice as much fun on it as warrior with the insane dps uptime. Coming soon!

I tell people that the combat is simple yet layered with complexity and, in my opinion, that makes it very enjoyable. Not sure about SWTOR combat but I'm happy if it influenced this game.

I went with Lords of Fortune because Dwarf in shiny gold armor looked awesome! Probably not a good nightmare pick. +1 potions on the Crows or Slightly more defense and hp from Wardens prob better... BUT GOLDEN ARMOR!

Hell yeah! Thank you. Hopefully my Nightmare Mage journey will end with a spicy build!

like if i wanna see what affects all ___ abilities for example. that would be so good

The system is simple in design but then has tons of layers for mastering. More tags would be great for sure, we just need to figure it out as a community for now.

Rock and stone! Dwarf best warrior class!

My first build video for the warrior actually has the Slayer setup with the big smash. I think slayer can be really strong with a 2 handed mace and stagger build. My problem with stagger is that big bosses don't really care much about your stagger sadly.

No just that , slayer charge attack is abit too long , the best way I found to play as slayer is just spend one level 3 charge attack to generate your rage and spam your leap hammer just to keep up your dps consistently and don’t stack stagger for your gear instead stack charge attack and ability damage at least in my opinion , I end up using reaper build , reaper is just too overpowered and brain dead with shield tossing win , at least with your build make it more exciting to play as warrior again

The final version should be nightmare viable because I will have lots of defense and healing. Even currently I barely use any potions and steam rolling it on Underdog. Hardcore Nightmare mage will be my next playthrough

RIGHT! I'm starting to get more items and finish companion storylines and the hero abilities are making me change my gear and companion choices every few hours. I'm enjoying the game constantly making me want to try new stuff with every new item drop.

At least they made respec free with no penalty and we aren't locked into specializations at all. Freedom that other games try to just gate you for no reason. Also, yes I want templates too! lol

@@ImJustAnthonyTube truth!!

Ah man, why you gotta hate on my Bel?! Lol, I'm actually about to bench her soon if my build keeps going in the direction I want with tons of dots. Might even go away from detonation combos for multi dot synergy. Always playing around with new stuff each day.

@@ImJustAnthonyTube I love Bellera

Lets gooooo!

I would need to look at a lot of items and the skill tree to make a viable electric build. Any items with conversion of some type can be a great start to make element builds. I will keep this in mind and hit you back if I see a great starter item to work around.
