Plunderstorm build
Arcane Tempest
B
tierFocuses on CCing opponents with Storm Archon while poking them down from range. Very slippery with Fade to Shadow and Faeform.
Strengths
Potent ranged damage combo between Storm Archon and Mana Sphere hits
Incredibly difficult to pin down with Fade to Shadow and Faeform
Weaknesses
Damage can be quite easy to avoid in solos due to lack of CC -- works better in duos
How to use Arcane Tempest build
Poke from a distance with Mana Sphere, looking for opportunities to land Storm Archon.
Use Fade to Shadow and Faeform liberally to avoid damage and reposition. You can also use them offensively to set up Storm Archon combos.
It's important to play defensively and from range due to the lack of CC once in melee range. Avoid committing to risky fights and focus on poking from a safe distance.
This build thrives against immobile opponents who can't dodge ranged projectiles easily. Against highly mobile enemies, try to bait out their movement abilities before going for a combo.
This build works better in duos but relies heavily on your partner's CC. Ask your partner to try pick up Windstorm or Steel Traps to help set up kills.
