You have some CC, some mobility, some support, access to different elements to help against enemies that are strong/weak against particular schools, and most of all high damage! This build takes spells in every mage tree (Spirit, Storm, Inferno, and Winter) with the aim of having access to a lot of different tools. IвЂ™ve been wanting to try a build that doesnвЂ™t require any specializations for the mage class, and this was the result. Jack of All Trades Mage Build Click to show/hide This build requires only 11 points, so you can pair it up with any mage specialization! Make sure to wait to restealth every time you cast a spell so that it crits.ДЇor even more damage, keep Barrier up to boost your fire damage with the Chaotic Focus passive, and try to flank your enemies to make use of the ringвЂ™s +20% Flanking Damage bonus. You can easily wipe out whole groups of enemies even on Nightmare difficulty by using this combo. This allows you to cast Fire Mine twice, and also guarantees that it will crit both times, causing massive damage. So what you do is get into combat to trigger the ringвЂ™s stealth effect, use Immolate to trigger Flashpoint, and wait until you stealth again. This works incredibly well with InfernoвЂ™s Flashpoint passive, which causes the next spell after a critical hit to have no cooldown. The basic idea behind the build is that Ring of Doubt gives you stealth when not attacking, and the first spell you use of stealth will always crit. Inferno: Immolate / Wildfire / Flashpoint / Pyromancer / Fire Mine / Flaming Array / Clean Burn / Chaotic Burn / Wall of Fire / Wave of Flame It is also a lot more powerful if you have the Trespasser DLC (for the Flaming Array Fire Mine upgrade), but itвЂ™s viable with the standalone game as well.

Revival with the Desperation upgrade is AMAZING for damage.Use Chain Lightning as a filler DPS spell.Immolate is used mostly to generate skill combos, and when other skills are on cooldown.Use Lightning Cage when 3+ enemies are close together.You can also use this to generate skill combos, like Ice Mine -> Immolate Use Ice Mine whenever you need reliable CC.Use Fade Step as a way of generating mana вЂ“ the more targets you fade through, the more mana you restore.Keep in mind you need to get in close range to make use of the Flaming Array upgrade Prioritize using Fire Mine first, since it is your biggest damage spell.Note: If youвЂ™re playing this build on your Inquisitor, IвЂ™d use Mark of the Rift instead of Chain Lightning Gameplay: Upgraded Fade Step in particular can be picked up whenever you start having mana issues, and Ice Mine is great if you feel like youвЂ™re lacking in CC. Then you can choose to get either the Storm or Winter skills first, depending on preference. Generally speaking though, I would always start with barrier and then grab the Inferno skills to get upgraded Fire Mine ASAP to boost your damage.ДЄfter this you can finish your Spirit skills and pick up revival so you donвЂ™t have to worry about keeping the party alive. Given that this build takes skills in all 4 mage trees, you have a lot of choice on what to level first and thereвЂ™s no clearcut вЂњbestвЂќ way.

Winter: Fade Step / Energizing Step / Winter Stillness / Ice Mine / Chilling Array Inferno: Immolate / Flashpoint / Pyromancer / Fire Mine / Flaming Array

Storm: Chain Lightning / Stormbringer/ Gathering Storm / Static Cage Spirit: Barrier / Elegant Defense / Guardian Spirit / Mind Blast / Revival / Desperation / Strength of Spirits And because you donвЂ™t need any specialization skills, you can use this build on any one of your mages. In particular, you have high AOE damage and control because all your skills are AOE, and good mobility and mana regen with upgraded Fade Step. With access to 4 different spell schools, this build has high damage and also allows you to support at the same time with barrier and revival. Thanks to Malcolm AKA Dorian of House None of Your Business for the build!
