Build Guide

Plays very similarly to melee DSO Wizard (only without the set items).

1. Build arcane dynamo

2. Arcane orbit at 5 arcane dynamo stacks

Explosive blast on cooldown for 60% damage reduction.

Optional: Slow time on elite packs

This build benefits greatly from increased mob density.

Try to find large packs to AOE, skip lone stragglers.

Elites / champions can be face-tanked with ease.
