Thanks for the great content. Could you link me to the script you're using to item ID and recycle? That looks very useful. Also, how are your bags setup? Is the one with the ID wand and tailoring kit just nested in trapped pouches? Any other useful scripts that you recommend? You could probably put together a full video on scripts/tips/tricks, etc.
I only play Shadow, but its fun to look at your mage videos. Arcane looks like one of those aspects that scales "exponentially" instead of linearly, in that it gets better and better as you get close to 100% uptime on that proc as much as possible. Another one I can think of is Void, which will ignore armor/resist 100% at Tier 19. If anyone can get there it's you!
Great video man. I think if I ever had to start again from nothing I would use this build. Level arcane first then level blood. I dont know lol. With your necro being low, can you not painspike?
Blood/Arcane mage is OP! I suggest having 20 alchemy and keep agility potion up for even more swing speed! I personally go with 0 parry because I can stay in defence stance since leech is not necessary IMHO with Blood/Arcane! Good video, cheers!
@@roystrik6912 If you dropped Parry you'd just dump those points into other skills to raise them, you wouldn't use something else. I'd also drop Forensic Eval for Inscription for more damage but its also hard to give up the forensic eval, I should know as I run it on my Arcane Mage but have the intention to echo out of it (Currently T13 Arcane Mage w/90k EXP). When I do echo I think I will do the build you see below without Alchemy. Also, its worth noting that Arcane is capped by your Wrestling skill, so I'd also drop Arcane down which is reflected below. With Alchemy (which I probably wouldn't do as 20 Points isn't really worth it imo) 120 Inscription, 100 Necromancy, 100 Eval Int, 100 Focus, 100 Magery, 90 Wrestling, 90 Arcane, 20 Alchemy. Without Alchemy: 120 Inscription, 120 Necromancy, 100 Eval, 100 Focus, 100 Magery, 90 Wrestling, 90 Arcane Why Inscription over Forensic Eval? (Only listing what would benefit this toon) With Inscription you get: +60% Physical Damage prevented by Reactive Armor +480% Spell buff duration 100% Chance to avoid Spell Interruption from Creature/Environment Damage +48% Damage by spells cast from scrolls (Add in like 2? Inscription links and you won't use your scrolls) Witrh Forensic Eval you get: +25% Spell and Melee Damage If anyone sees any glaring issues with the above, let me know.
Just a quick snip here, Dexterity swing speed bonuses cap at 100, anything over 100 is just more stamina total. You do not get any added effects of having over 100 dexterity except for the higher stamina pool. Also, added dex doesn't modify the swing speed either, meaning if you cap your Dexterity at 80, drinking an agility potion or getting stats from the Blood Aspect will not give you any increased value towards your swing speed, as its still technically at 80.
@@MushboomersSandbox-wd5vk No I mean your stats as in Strength, Intelligence and Dexterity. Dexterity is the modifier that determines what % of a weapons base speed is utilized. For example, starting out at 10 dexterity uses only 10% of the weapons base attack speed, all the way up to 100% for 100 dexterity. Dexterity is the only stat in the game that is not really beneficial having over 100, because you only get more total stamina. Your attack speed is determined by your stamina value as well, so if you fall below 100% of your stamina, you only yield whatever percentage you have of your stamina at your base dexterity value. So meaning, 10 dexterity means you only utilize 10% of whatever weapon you're using for your base attack speed, and then if your stamina is 8 of 10 said dexterity, you'll only be able to utilize 80% of that said 10% weapon speed. Its exceptionally dumb, but Dexterity does nothing to your attack speed above 100. So 10 dexterity = 10% of weapon base speed, using a dagger you only get 10% of 56 weapon base speed. You cap your stats usually at 100 Strength, 100 intelligence, 25 dexterity for a mage. Or if you mix stats, you can go 100 Strength 80 dexterity and 45 intelligence for your max of 225 stat points.
@@MushboomersSandbox-wd5vk Even if you use potions, or blood aspect in this example to get your Dexterity, if its sitting at 80, and it goes +20 from agility potion and +8 blood aspect level 2 stats, that means you have 108 dexterity. Regardless of you gaining those additional Dexterity points from the agility potion and the blood aspect, you will still only utilize 80% of a weapons base speed. due to base weapon speed being calculated by your Base Dexterity stat.
My question was if you meant cap as the original values without the blood armor boost. In the case of the blood mage, you get a tremendous boost from the mana regen because your swing speed more than doubles with blood armor as long as you are not above 100 dex. So in summary, the dexterity you gain from blood armor will make you swing faster which will make you gain more mana in the 1 minute timeframe after the arcane aspect proc, in addition to this, you will be able to store more of that mana because of the increased intelligence stat.
@@MushboomersSandbox-wd5vk I just tested this and there are no differences in Damage tracker over an hour. The dexterity given from Blood Aspect Armor and agility potions does not matter. Attack speed is calculated off of base dex value and specific modifiers to swing speed.
Started with your original build . Nearly aspect 12 arcane , started yesterday with blood and althou the aspect is still low the dmg output is noticeable. Thanks for sharing

You might already answered in other videos, but why 24 dex instead of 25?
May I ask how many characters you have setup? Do you just echo one or two to produce all these videos?
yeah just 1 echo, I have another character with fire and earth armor at t13 but I don't really play it.
Recommend blood over arcane for a new char build?
no, blood / arcane is only after you have t14 arcane weapon.
So you are running both arcane and blood?

Great video man. I think if I ever had to start again from nothing I would use this build. Level arcane first then level blood. I dont know lol. With your necro being low, can you not painspike?
The necro is at 65 so I can activate disease with my spells and that activates my damage to diseased links.
What are the links you use?
spell aspect chance, damage to diseased and slayers

So you are running both arcane and blood?
in this video yes, arcane weapon blood armor.
@@MushboomersSandbox-wd5vk how would straight blood be just due to the cost currently? Would it still be a strong build?
@@richpalmer9886 no the main factor here is the arcane weapon.
@@MushboomersSandbox-wd5vk thanks! Trying to level my madness archer. Since madness is so costly this will have to wait 😢
I like the build tho!
Strong mobs = more leather them weak mobs?
Right, also more FE gives more leather.

After 13 arcane weapon it will be a lot more comfortable.
Adamsın seviliyorsun
I know you have madness lvled.
Have your tried madness armor with arcane staff yet?
I had tried it at arcane level 12 with madness armor 14 but I was mana starving too much, I'll try again not at 14.
Great video! Which kind of armor? Plate or Bone?
Thanks, plate armor.
Have you considered making a Solo Pit trial build?
I ll probably leave it last.
What armor are you wearing? And what codexs skills active?
leech codex skill, and leyline activated skill
Strong mobs = + leather?
How much damage does the bleed proc do?
around 5k
Why FE over scribe
Inscription is overrated, especially if you are not eldricht.
Which are ur skills?
It is the same as my previous video, you can search for tank arcane mage.
