Nice videos man. Keep up the good work. I disagree on a few points however: -Belt: Enhanced Belt of the Inferno. Makes those fire mines really more powerful. -Armor: Battlemage Armor Schematic. 20 utility slots with the upgrades vs 12 and more defenses. Less armor. -Personal preference: I craft more for Willpower instead of Magic and/or Cunning. Willpower gives +% Att as well as Magic Defense whereas Magic's secondary effect is to increase barrier penetration which seems way less important to me. With the Ring of Doubt I don't feel that I need that much Crit chance and Flashpoint doesn't need that much either to proc every 10 sec. I'm usually ok around 35% and I prefer stacking Att%. My armor and belt preferences are better for group play but if you're soloing you might prefer the extra health and armor.

I can see that you kinda swap belt defence and armour offence around compared to me xD I chose to do the other so I have overall more damage but I can see with the right build a heavy fire mine focused build can destroy. Great suggestions, imma pin it so other people can see your ideas :D

Great video StarFlorge

Just to let any newbies know, the best headgear, for every class, is now found in the Deep Roads, part of the Descent dlc. They're better than anything you can craft but I wouldn't advise going there until you're at least level 18. Also, youre going to want the Sigil of the Great Bear on your armour. This will double your mana pool, with no real cost. The sigil also halves your mana regeneration but, as mana regen is calculated as a percentage of your maximum mana, and your maximum mana is doubled by the sigil, there really aren't any negatives, in practice. :)

Great video Star! Good to hear from you my friend.

I usually make HUGE stat sacrifices in the name of aesthetics... xD I'm pretty sure you can make an entire build around the Ring of Doubt. Doesn't it guarantee a critical hit when you attack from stealth? Imagine stacking Crit Damage and nuking people with a Flaming Array... I remember trying that, but Nightmare and the "Walk Softly" trial make elemental immunities an immense buzzkill. Also, it should be noted that the Keeper robe is exclusive to elves. (Elven mages get some surprisingly cool gear, don't they?)

Question on ring of doubt and fire mine combo... breaking stealth = guarantee crit? no? if I cast normal Fire Mine , it didnt crit, and kinda slow activation even tho enemy alrdy standing on top of it. if I cast flaming array fire mine, it crit and explodes instantly. HOWEVER on high dragons, only 1 out of 3 directly exploded even tho the other 2 mines are being stepped by it... a huge turn off IF flaming array fire mine stealth casted on 3 units grouped together. Will it crits on all 3 of em?

What's the point of overkilling it so much with crit chance? Ring of doubt gives you guaranteed crits already so it would be more efficient to just invest in attack % or critical damage. The bind that guides is tresspasser only item, so if it's the best "tresspasser " build we are talking about, might as well use Heart of Rage, which is literally the best possible damage staff in this game. Probably add a superior elemental belt in there too, because extra hp don't matter on a Knight enchanter, your shield is your health bar anyways.

First, sorry, but english is not my mother language. I would craft my staff with a bit of critical, then wear the Mask of the Grand Duchess, a belt of the pact and an armor with a sigil to gain more barrier. What do you think? Thanks, man, keep your awesome work!
