The BEST Magic Build! | 4 MINUTE Crucible | 15 SECOND Boss | No Rest for the Wicked

[@Snapziey]

EDIT: Big info from @SheeeeeshClips -- If you enchant the staff, for some reason it goes to its legendary version. Some people have reported that they are getting the legendary version, but losing two of the runes, while others are getting all 4 runes, so enchant at your own risk! If your staff does appear to only have two runes, check the actual spell wheel when you go to cast the spell. Hey everyone. It took me a little while to get this, as I had to farm so many embers, figure out little pathing issues in the runs, get money for the food + potions, get the right gear, farm topaz gems (the gems took me soooo long). -Stats can be seen at the end to the right of my gear at the end -I used apple pie & sirloin steak to get 100 more focus & 45 more hp -I had to make a new character for this specifically to do the speedruns as the spellcaster I had didn't have enough int to 1-shot the mobs -This is all just for fun. I usually wouldn't play anything like this (I wouldn't usually ever use blink/switch weapon for buffs etc) -Magic op

[@NguyenPhong-yx3yd]

how did you farm topaz? all I got is ruby

[@Snapziey]

@@NguyenPhong-yx3yd They increased the drop chance today. Best way by far to do it is just farm chests whenever they respawn

[@SheeeeeshClips]

@@NguyenPhong-yx3yd can clear an area and then reload the save point. all chests, pick axe spots and dig spots should be fresh

[@DarkConjurer34]

Does it really go to its legendary version? I’m afraid to enchant it and waste the staff

[@Snapziey]

@@DarkConjurer34 yep! It looks to be guaranteed at the moment.

[@SheeeeeshClips]

I swear I crafted this staff and when I enchanted it it turned legendary which kept all 4 runes

[@Snapziey]

Wow I just tried it and it actually does! That is so inconsistent, haha. Thank you for the info! I'll put it in my pinned comment.

[@SheeeeeshClips]

@@Snapziey very welcome. without your video, I wouldnt have even used the weapon. it's my favorite weapon for sure now thanks to you

[@Amatsuichi]

crafted it now, it turned legendary, but lost 2 spell slots and kept 1 gem slot only, while having 2 legendary abilities

[@SheeeeeshClips]

@@Amatsuichi yeah it's weird man. I enchanted 6 of the ones I had crafted and nome of them kept all 4 runes. Maybe they have to have certain Stat requirements. They all turn legendary, but only 1 of 7 of mine turned into the real legendary 1 with 4 slots

[@Amatsuichi]

@@SheeeeeshClips I even checked all the fixes and staff enchant nerf wasn't mentioned.. it looks like its a very low % chance to keep the runes and gem slots

[@ovidiubanciu5791]

Nice man 👌

[@SunOf_aBeach]

Any tips on how to farm boar tusks? I have only 1 in 40+ hours played.

[@Snapziey]

Yeah they're just kind of rare. I've had most of mine specifically from crucible chests, same with bear paws.

[@radicalindividual7774]

"something something, Tier 3 before Topaz" 18% Equip Load. 26% Healing Effect. 16% Poise Defense. 12 Stamina OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF I forgor Edit: Still rolled 9 though... Not TOO bad.

[@num2007]

since the staff gives more damage based on max focus, shouldn't investing more in focus be better?

[@Bryan-po5wc]

I can't get lucky with those ring drops all I get are agility rings or infinite climbing ring lol

[@Kryto_Gaming]

Oh nice, good info here! Especially that Damage Surge, which I think lasts 3 minutes, has more potency than the 10% food buff? I should have an off-hand for that ability then. Do you happen to know if other Surge type abilities like Focus Surge and Stamina Surge are better than their respective food buffs? It seems like this is as fast as you can get huh. I imagine you can get similar results using a STR or other extremely high damage weapon, add X Element Throw to it, and blink. Though given how much more powerful the Ice Debuff is than other elements, Ice Throw would be your best bet. Although I can't imagine any other spell having similar damage potential against the boss though. I believe the devs didn't factor in the sheer power of point blank icicle. I am curious if you can do something like this with another Staff. However, the unique Falling Stars staff can get up to 30% more damage upon using a Rune. If you use a Common Staff, you can only get 15% from the Thorn Spike Gem thing. And I'm pretty sure you can't slot in the same gem twice.

[@Snapziey]

Great observations! The buff food is indeed a 10% increase, while damage surge is 20 or 25% and lasts 2 minutes. I think I remember them both stacking, but I can't remember the specifics as I tested them 2 days ago and I just remember it not mattering, as I 1-shot with the buff and without food, but didn't 1-shot with food and without the buff. The fastest builds right now are probably throws, bows and magic. Ice is definitely the way to go for the boss, for the 5-second freeze to go at him. Multi-projectile spells do insane damage output. It's kind of funny, though, how you can get your damage up to the point that 1 projectile is 1-shotting mobs, making the single projectile spell redundant. This video obviously a very specific thing, in terms of maximising damage, though. The Falling Stars legendary effect definitely was necessary to 1-shot the mobs. There is a scenario where you could get a staff with 15% damage from the gem and also use 10% damage food... BUT I'm not sure if % damage increase gem is that good, as it increases the weapon's base damage, whereas the falling sky staff increases RUNE damage. Would be cool to test!

[@Boonatix]

This is sooo boring gameplay :D

[@SheeeeeshClips]

Can use a dupe method by putting items in chest, create a save, load back in and take items from chest, exit to main menu and load that save. Items will be back in your chest and your inventory. Once you get full inventory on your person, just buy more chests and put those items in the new chests then create a new save

[@Snapziey]

I'm aware of it, but I'd rather not use it, personally. I do understand if people want to use it for xp pots for new characters etc, though!

[@num2007]

why not a bit less int and a bit more load for plate armor ?

[@Snapziey]

This is a speed run, so I was looking for optimal stats for going as fast as possible. I needed that much int at the time to 1-shot specific monsters.

[@num2007]

​@@Snapzieybut for my build recommendation do u suggest going a bit more into load for plste armor ?

[@Snapziey]

@@num2007 I would say it's safer to drop 10 intelligence and put some in life / weight yeah.

[@geraudbiga3176]

thats a world record ?

[@Snapziey]

Probably at the moment!

[@num2007]

how do yiu have gain 14 focus from gem on pants? mine sai gain 2-5 focus on use when trying to infuse.... and they uograded to tier3...

[@Snapziey]

Not too sure about that. Are you sure the number on the item is a 3 and it's not just upgrades 3 times?

[@vandersantos5708]

Hi man, The build is good without the legendary staff?

[@Snapziey]

It's good yeah. Magic in general is just good, to be honest. Maybe go for a bit more in HP, drop some int if you want to feel more safe. Also for rings, feel free to use what you like. Thistle rings heal you a massive amount, as they are still broken at the moment.

[@gustavheinrich5565]

You can buy the recipe for Craft Falling Sky from a vendor and then just enchat it to get the legendary version. Yes, I have a crafted legendary Falling Sky. It will only show 2 abilities on the weapon tooltip, but all 4 abilities are usable and show on your skill bar as soon as you equip it. Again: It's the full legendary version, and you do NOT lose 2 abilities, like the video claims. Not sure if it's intended or not, so use that trick before it gets patched.

[@Snapziey]

@@gustavheinrich5565 I posted an update in the pinned comment just after the video was uploaded that you can enchant it!

[@DarkConjurer34]

@@gustavheinrich5565how do you enchant a craftable falling sky to legendary? Is it rng if you enchant it to try and make it legendary?

@@DarkConjurer34 at the moment it looks guaranteed.

[@Hrk7990]

I have the recipe and mats to craft it, but it doesn’t show when I’m at the anvil. Is it bugged? Or did the devs remove it from being crafted? :(

[@Amatsuichi]

its crafted at the workbench, not anvil

[@Hrk7990]

@@Amatsuichithanks! 😅

[@num2007]

how do you have enought focus gain to gain focus on casting? i only see 14 focus gain on cast on legs ...

[@Snapziey]

So I have around 300 focus and blink is effectively only costing 11 to cast, so I can get about 27 blinks. Between casting, you will see me pop large focus potions. Whenever I kill something I get 18 focus from my gloves and whenever each of the 5 icicles hit, I get 9 focus per icicle.

[@johnmc9073]

This build is nerf i think, the blink now costs mana

[@Snapziey]

Blink has always, and still does, cost 25 mana. My topaz in legs gives +14 focus back every time I use an ability, though, so it costs me 11 focus to use the spell. Try looking back at a part where I blink a lot and you'll see it going down!

[@num2007]

wouldn't investing a bit more into load for heavy armor be better?

[@Snapziey]

For these speed runs needed almost the exact amount of int I had. I also needed a bit of focus and hp, so there weren't many points to spare. The aim is to not get hit anyway!

[@stefabris7582]

If im not wrong, the fierce ring "damage increased" doesnt work. It only boost your armor. Correct?

[@Snapziey]

As of Hotfix #6, fierce rings and Rune Rings' damage bonuses work.

[@NicolasVERGNAC]

Oh really ? they fixed damage increase on rings ? I can't see it in the patch note@@Snapziey

[@Goguetaxl]

second weapon provides the bonus when on the equip slot even when you are not holding it on your hand?

[@Snapziey]

No, it has to be in-hand. The only reason I'm using a second weapon here is to switch it to use Damage Surge.

[@Goguetaxl]

@@Snapziey I see thank you

[@Mahilo]

Nice

[@acybercena89]

Ranged is way too easy, insane damage, no need to aim cause mobs walk to you, skip 90% of the dodging, blocking risk, no parry needed, this spam of runes can happen on melee too and makes the game so easy with stun locks that is not fun anymore

[@jsavoni6478]

Plus the auto lock on target feature in the settings makes it easier. Also, why does no one have the damage numbers turned on either.... my ice mage does the ice aoe for over 700...

[@num2007]

is it still viable after patch?

[@Snapziey]

Yeah it is, but the multi-projectile spell is definitely a little bit weaker, like 15-20%

[@abadonael]

Very good job, i did a similar run couple of days ago, but yours is much smoother, you also got lucky with the mob positioning :) I also had to swap staffs in order to teleport and 1-shot the mobs. Also interesting with the rings, do +Rune attack buffs finally work now? Very nice build, i believe its the strongest in the game and also fun to play

[@Snapziey]

Some rings do indeed work now. The rune damage and damage done on Fierce Rings work.

[@ExoduS_AU]

Any tips for levelling an int build? did you do most of the content using a basic 10str sword for example or did you burn focus potions like crazy to use spells the whole way through? Do you use an alt to farm cash? I just started an int build and have just got to sacrament using the rusty 1h sword. Not sure how best to progress the character to end game. I don't have any way to respec so I want to avoid putting any unnecessary points in str, dex or carry cap.

[@Snapziey]

Try looking at my powerlevelling guide, it might help you out! TL:DW - enchant brother keeper daggers until good enchant, upgrade to max. These are good even with 0 stats in dex if they are upgraded. sirloin platter for +45 hp to not die at level 1, start at the keep in first area and level up a little. Put stats into hp instantly. Do crucible when comfortable as early as possible (don't get angry when you die in crucible, not there to clear, here for xp). xp potions make the journey way easier if you remember to keep them for your next character. Once you have some stats in hp, get some focus and start scaling your main magic stat. You can start using a staff at like level 10 comfortably. If you don't want to spam focus pots, use 'channel' spell paired with either a. a crow's ring or b. life on kill/life on hit gear.

[@Jel0XD]

Just as I thought, after all the nerfs you do have to drink focus pots for mage unlike archers with coneshot you can fully regain focus without drinking. My prob is I have to hold 2nd hand key to blink. I tried sticky key function on windows but you have to turn it off to eat food or run

[@Snapziey]

Yeah Cone Shot hits many times, but with icicles, you only hit with one most of the time. Also, with a bow, you can use focus on damage dealt 1H weapon and two topazes. That sounds annoying! Hopefully they make it smoother in the future.

[@Sokol_CZ_]

@Snapziey where drop this legendary staff ? from Echo Knights ?

[@Snapziey]

You can craft it from max level enchantress and then enchant it (it's guaranteed to turn legendary, i was wrong in the video), or it drops from the end of crucible!

[@Sokol_CZ_]

@Snapziey gloves gem+stats pls? in video no shows you

[@Snapziey]

it shows at 4:59! life on kill, focus on kill. Gem doesn't matter, as it's all parry stuff.

[@Knufffii]

Can you do a build with the unique hammer ''fetid club'' ?

[@Snapziey]

I think that the weapon is currently broken. The damage doesn't increase with weight!

[@JarosawTabor]

Holy smokes!

[@killerrabbit38]

Bro, any dagger build? For dex.

[@Snapziey]

Brother Keeper daggers are strong and they can be bought infinitely from the blacksmith. 1. Buy them from the vendor and enchant them until you hit a good enchant ( increased damage / extra elemental damage ) 2. For gear, get some healing effect 3. Use any combination that you like of fierce ring, agility ring, band of calmness, thistle ring 4. I used 30 health, 17 stamina, 17 weight load, the rest in agility
