About

This build is a cooldown-reduction-based caster designed around throwing massive Fire Canister Bombs and kiting enemies while they burn. Utilizing the 5-piece Ulzuin's Infernal Avatar set, it relies on weapon damage conversion to turn Canister Bomb into a life-leeching tool alongside overlapping fragment damage ("shotgunning").

Demolitionist Skills: Max Canister Bomb for damage and fragment shotgunning; take Ulzuin's Chosen for bonus damage and instant skill resets; max Thermite Mines (-38% Fire RR); drop Blackwater Cocktail for damage/resistance debuffs; rely on Blast Shield as an automatic safety net.

Arcanist Skills: Maintain Maiven's Sphere for constant damage absorption; use Mirror of Ereoctus for temporary invulnerability; cast Nullification to strip enemy buffs; passive stats from Inner Focus and Iskandra's line.

Combat Rotation: Toggle buffs, Cast Flashbang, Drop Thermite Mines & Blackwater Cocktail, Throw Canister Bomb (re-cast immediately on reset), Kite / Reposition while utilizing Mirror or evade tools defensively.

Skill Trees

Demolitionist
Arcanist

Demolitionist

The Demolitionist tree serves as the primary engine for damage output, Fire Resistance Reduction (RR), and core utility:

  • Canister Bomb (Maxed) & Modifiers: The main damage dealer. Maxing the base skill and its modifier adds max sub-munition fragments and expands the skill's radius so all fragments overlap and "shotgun" larger targets.

  • Ulzuin's Chosen: A critical passive that significantly boosts total damage and provides a chance to instantly reset Canister Bomb's cooldown for burst casting.

  • Thermite Mines (Maxed to 24 Points): Essential for applying massive Fire Resistance Reduction (-38% Fire RR) to enemies. Since the secondary class (Arcanist) offers no Fire RR, maxing Thermite Mines is mandatory.

  • Blackwater Cocktail (High Potency, Demon Fire, Agonizing Flames): Serves as a primary debuff. Demon Fire reduces incoming enemy damage, while Agonizing Flames applies flat Resistance Reduction.

  • Blast Shield: A defensive passive that triggers when your health drops below a threshold, offering high damage absorption, health regeneration, and dynamic defensive stats on a very short cooldown.

  • Flame Touched & Temper: Provides flat Fire/Burn damage, bonus Offensive Ability (OA), Armor, and Defensive Ability (DA).

  • Flashbang & Searing Light: 1-point utility skills used to drop enemy Defensive Ability and confuse/disrupt incoming attacks.
