Now I know the ennemies will ignore mostly the tank and focus the carry, but actually, that's the point. One more general thing I like to do when playing with a full 4 man team is having a full tank character, paired up with a Glass Cannon hypercarry. So if you can get your hands on the unique staff that inflicts Crescendo on each hit, and pick warfare skills like Whirlwind or Onslaught to attack a lot every turn, you can easily massively overkill anything not immune to fire, with a slight delay. This skill does way more damage than the toolbox says. Neither of us expected him to be right that way.Īnother broken skill is Flaming Crescendo. I had initiative, and told me : 'Enjoy your turn because you won't get another'. The real funny thing is I was playing with a friend, that was planning to use teas + devourer armor to make his turn last forever. Without even moving people into position preemptively, I just went to get high ground and booom.

Not really a combo, since it is only one skill, but I once one-shotted the whole final fight with a single use of Pyroclastic Eruption. Later on in the game, you will be getting so many stat bonuses from equips alone, that you will easily meet all of the equipment requirements, so feel free to mix different gear types. Statwise Intelligence >Memory >Wits, but make sure to have enough con, if using a shield, and enough str if using a melee weapon. Lategame you can even find shields that give you intelligence/ constitution boost, so I find them very desirable on my mage builds. I don't think there exists a 2 Handed stave that could surpass these bonuses, and having a shield not only makes you tankier but also gives you shield toss skill, which is really good skill for necromancer, since it has short cooldown and it's damage entirely depends on how good the shield is and your warfare level. Late game/ act 4, I settled for a shield + dagger(Rancour) combo, because that unique dagger gives 25% critical chance, +additional bonuses, which is very good, since as a mage you never use your weapon ever anyways, what you want are good bonuses.

Nah I would do it with Shield + 1 handed melee combo, ideally, though I made use of various different uniques, depending on what was the best option for me depending on stage of the game.
