      Fist over matter look super cool, too bad it too far in the tree. My heart balance between crawl and mystical assault. Dual cast your ability for plenty of homing missiles :D
      I wonder if fist over matter work well with another maxed tree (I think you can do it near max level). The red tree feel the most boring outside it's abilities.

      @@JackbatMurphy you can get brawl capstone and fist over matter, but near lvl 48. you need 46 skills point and can have 48 in total. Fist of element look not great like that, but perhaps it's because we don't take into considerations the cool weapons you can use. It's a tree that can work with any weapons so the fun is limited by the weapons you find. The only thing I hate is that fist over matter is the only ability I really want and it's the last one you unlock.

    So this is why the devs didnt say too much on Amara. They focused on everyone else's skills and trees. The public automatically thought that Amara was straight forward ability wise. But now seeing she is the most versatile skill wise is freaking crazy. You can basically mix n match her skills to come up with unique abilities.... She is actually the most complex of the 4 skills and abilities wise

    keep in mind you don't have to use the skill of one tree to go down that tree. You can run mystical assault with phasegrasp fists for instance so that you can ensure you hit the target

  • @patiscool5553
    @patiscool5553 4 года назад +18

    At a glance to me her best tree isn't a single tree but a hybrid tree. For Brawl a lot of her great surviability skills happen early and are tied to action skill activation, go all the way down Mystical Assault for the capstone, especially skills that help elemental chance, damage from action skill activation, (don't touch action skill damage). Lastly use the phasegrasp action skill (shortest cooldown, never misses, great CC), pick up skills related to status effect. Amara easily has the best synergy between all her trees. I would build her like a caster where many of her great skills come from action skill activation. All her skill play well across trees so endgame builds for her are far more intriguing.

  • @IzThatit

    Something that helps early game is that Amara can use Phase Grasp to activate her arms. With Phase grasp if you miss it goes on a 1 second cooldown.
    This allows you to keep Clarity (2x health regen), Helping Hands (40% DMR), & Find your center (100% Melee Damage & 75% range) fom the Brawl tree up 100% of the time.

    I've been playing fist of the elements, and one thing i discovered is that you can change your element modifier during combat. This menas i you find yourself up against a shock type, and a hcunk of your total samage is being reisted because your weapon damage is converted to shock type, you can simply turn on the fire type mod and get back to doing damage. i think it's only lock while an ability is active.

    I’m running a hybrid fist/mystic. Leaning mystic cause phase cast will clear a whole room is you know how to land your shots. Don’t sleep on mystic assault. Grab the elemental buffs from FoE and the fire element and the nova augment and then spec mystic how you choose
    Grab the health from brawl if you’re insecure but I think it’s a waste of skills if you can just play distance rather then trying to melee while not playing brawl
    Dealing with bosses who are sponges this is great cause you can burn them down even if your having a rough go
    Try it out
