Need help putting together a new pure arcanist beam build after nerfs to annsul's+tideborn+velothi

Nyseto · April 26

First off, I want to be using the newly buffed class set Spattering Disjunction. I have to pair it up with a trial set but don't know which one. I have Ansuul and Null Arca, I don't know if Riptide would be better than both. Do I still keep velothi on? And also for the backbar I currently have perfected maelstrom 2h with stampede. Should I switch to maelstrom inferno staff and elemental blockade?

As far as I’m aware no nerf to malestrom so back bar with stampede is still great.

Null arca is the set to go with for single target. But you will be missing out on multi target damage.

As you already noted sets like coral riptide is going to be a viable replacement instead. But I do like the idea of easy set and forget with null arca rather then having to do the stamina mini game.

Huntsman and the shattered path signet are other mythics to consider for u50. Some builds put together with shattered path signet doing massive damage. However maybe magika only focus

What nerf? 7% if using the 3 is not a "nerf" just an adjustment. Also the Ansuul interrupt got a HUGE buff. 30 seconds and bigger bonus.
Still they are ahead of other sets and most importantly, totally relaxed without counters and minigames.

I am still using them and haven't seen any meaningful difference to change

They already buffed Empower on PTS to partly make up for the change, so it may be worth waiting to see if they adjust these other sets, as well, even though they indicated they seem to think they're fine as they are on the current PTS build.
