@ here lately yes. Similar building philosophies. Mine just uses bash dmg and health with crux for defensive. I like the non-traditional dmg source and a decent offense defense split for crux use on your end. Was experimenting to play with crux mechanic for mag flail. Never found anything I really liked, but what you got looks fun.
Oh man, I’ve been having a blast with your most recent soul cleaver NB build and now you’ve dropped this?? I guess I’m dusting off my arcanist again… 😅
@ I meant to also say I’m really enjoying your videos! You’ve clearly got a ton of experience and you explain your thought process of putting these builds together so concisely. Thanks again!
@Sunsh1n2 it works as is in BGs/IC. I don't do much duelling but the arcanist taunt that steals armour is something I'd run in a 1v1. Not sure what skill to drop though
The back bar is there to give you extra enchants to auto proc. If you don't have brp dw you could just run blade cloak anyways. An alternative would be 2pc endurance for max health on back bar as a sword and shield, then run the shield throw ability with the DOT effect. It will still trigger your back bar enchant (poison) when you bar swap
@@zacreed2195 weapon glyphs don't scale with weapon damage but do still respect penetration, so it's to get the extra 1k pen. Same reason we run Lover mundus
@cheemers Thanks for the reply! Tested the build out tonight in IC and it hits like a truck. Struggled a bit with healing, but that's probably just a skill issue because I'm a filthy Templar main that lives in a puddle of HoTs all day.
I've been loving this build. I was so surprised how easily I can burst people down and keep them there. Great job on the theory crafting!
Thank you, it's tricky to give Arcanist burst and tankiness so I'm glad this build can mix that together
Going to try this out, sadly my Arc now useless with my old build (may work in duels). Thanks for the great video, also like the explanation 👍
Glad I could help
@ sadly my arc a kahjit so the mystic no good use I guess 🙈😭
Try Death Dealers Fete instead, it'll help with Tankiness
@ ok thank you a lot for the help
Interesting build I run kynmarcher frontbar with wv my sea ult hit like a truck per tick my highest this patch been 10k
I dig it.
@@RhageEso Appreciate it, you've got a lot of experience with arcanist!

What modifications would you do for duels with that build - and IC/new BGs?

Nice build
What alternative u recommend if i have no brp weapon on backbar?
What do u think about frontbar hrothgar. On body sea serpents backbar vateshran?😊😊

Nice job, tbh I hate how Arcanist feels/plays but this is great theory crafting
Thanks you

Is there any reason for 3pc light and no medium? Is it just the extra pen from light passive?
