I push yesterday a 170k score with my friend, Arc 5. Really hard for both. I play a Dk tank and he play a nightblade. I play with Elf Bane + Drake Rush + Bloodspawn. Ice staff front and Vateshran void bash shield back with minor heroism. I have Magma shell 91% uptime and 18 sec duration since Elfbane boost duration of fire skill. I recommend for dps having 2 set on you. 1 for wave and 1 for boss. We find that Perfected master 2H with cleave and brawler pass Arc 3 for wave is INSANE. I pull mobs and bamm and he clear. Dps must have Pale order, it helps alot.
Really great set up. I had been using one bar stuff in there but I have been having problems after starting arc 3... so im going to switch things up n use This build. Keep these videos coming tho. How far did you get in the EA with This build??
Thanks I hope you enjoy! So far I managed to get into Arc 4 with this build but then my lack of knowledge with boss mechanics let me down 😂 so this build could go way further than that!
Idk if the vateshran staff's passive could be better than maelstrom one If you pick the non mag stealing morph i think it can be a good dot combined with beam
It kinda ends at cycle 2-3 for the majority of players as the difficulty goes - overland - dungeon - veteran dungeon. IMO they should have had the difficulty scale less harsher than what it currently is and I believe this was the case during PTS
@Papakakadu ARC 3 goes way over veteran dungeon difficulty. I solo veteran dungeons and the end of ARC 3 is obnoxiously difficult. And ARC 4 just feels impossible
@@FlashesSoccer011yeah I had the same feeling but didn’t want to over complicate it 😂 I was really looking forward to this but I am utterly disappointed how they implemented it and how much boxed you are to go tanky tanky tanky … it’s a big disappointment for me so far. I hope they revisit it otherwise it’s just going to be forgotten content in 2 months
They're not going to rebalance. They're challenging you to build differently. Game is extremely DPS centric as it is, everything is DPS DPS DPS. Solo builds are DPS + pale order. The archive is designed to promote neglected building aspects. Status effect, health recovery and tanking are king in the archive, and me and many other players needed this shift in focus. Arc 3 is not a problem with capped resists proc sets health recovery. Build properly and take it on
I have no friends... so thanks for this lonely person friendly build. 10/10. No friends for me!
I knew it would suit you

Without a dedicated tank and ridiculously good RNG, you aren't going anywhere after ARC 4 with this build.

This……was……….AMAZING
How far did you get with this setup? I am not sure if your health pool is enough beyond arc 3 or 4. But maybe I test it with my dragonknight.
Why are you using an ice staff and not a fire staff? And why use a sword and mace instead of dual daggers?
Because you need defence and crit is crap in the archive
Is this.... THE KYLARBYTE doing a PvE build???? Never thought I'd see the day
Maybe its not Kylarbyte...

Arcanist is so much fun!
It is right!
I still need to play my arcanist more. Too many games, not enough time!
need that time machine!
But is the archive REALLY endless?
Well try out this build and find out

Good stuff! Be careful not to use your PvP build for PvE. 😂
I have been tempted to try this 😂
