What are the best sets to use for Magplar?

Adventurer · June 2021

I used to run MS+Grothdarr+Overwhelming for the sustain, but since now Grothdarr and Overwhelming don't do much, what should I switch them out for?

MS + Overwhelming would still be pretty good choice. Overwhelming can be subbed out for anything else with more crit. Medusa a good choice. Siroria or false gods are trial options, but tougher to get obviously.

Instead of Grothdaar 1pc slimecraw for even more crit chance and then a Mythic of your choice.

Sadly this is the same for all magicka characters right now. ZoS attempt to make crit harder to get simply made it even more necessary for all your pieces. Especially since they simultaneously made crit damage easier to stack.

edit: Don't forget if you need more sustain feel free to use blue food for just resource and resource return. Health and stamina aren't much of a concern since last update.

I think if you want to metamance, Medusa + MS + Slimecraw/Mythic/other crit 1pc. People have been saying Zaan is lacking but I still see others say it's good so ????

Siroria/False God's as usual are still good, like danno mentioned.

I dunno, I think your build is pretty good as is. I'm a big fan of OS and Grothdarr though lol

Acuity + Siroria + Zaan is what I’ve been using. Just have to learn to control the acuity procs so that your channel sweeps get the most damage possible.

I want to also add I pretty much run either parse food for trials or witchmothers for 4man play.

Try Diamond's Victory. With staff you can have 100% uptime on both bonuses, which gives you pretty nice dmg. And because DMG is now a must for monster sets, add infused willpower jewelry plus dragonstar staff on backbar and you can use Zaan again

With Maelstorm on front, so you could use this nice empower templar has.
