Also just realized I got the names on the Holy Light DNA wrong... urgh, it's been a little too long since I hopped on the Tempest -.-

Not much to say except I like the melee duo part :x

[Nadesh]

Only 2 things

Maybe should define if is pve, pvp or mixed: because for pve only i wouldnt pick charged bolt lvl 10.

Also, as a Tempest, i dont need Concentration since long ago. I can see it useful at lower lvls but not at high ones. And since the builds said that are for lvl 79, i wouldnt pick it: isnt needed even without costume.

at temp dont even DARE to take any mp rec, if you try as hard as you possibly can you will never run out of mp, even go down by tiny bit >.<

Oh boy, where to start; there isn't many types of builds at 79, Radiants have it easy. ;o

At Lv 79.



You could consider that an hybrid build. Or more accurately, the most viable build for a 79 Radiant for both PvP and PvE.

Depending on what you're focused, you could switch a few things around but it's about it.

9 skill points in LH is a bit pointless for a 79 Rad.

More points in elec bolt and charged bolt is a bit pointless unless you're a wannabe Boltadiant, you can also drop all your heals and think your a Tempy then. xD

Curse resist? Ehh.. too much points for too little for a class that often stays behind the front line in PvP. Bleh.


DNAs? Easy choice.

Strenghtened Party Heal Lvl 10 is almost a requirement for all types of Rads.

Swift Lesser Heal 5 is the same.

With your 10 points left, you could choose for either more def with SI 9 and DP 1 for PvP and such, or instant cast hush/dp 1/mana shield intensification 4 for a more offensive PvP approach.

For more PvE oriented, you can use those 10 points into Strenghtened LH 9 and DP 1... but from my experience, you don't need all those extra skill points and dna points to make LH stronger. My Lesser Heal Lvl 1 with no Str DNA crits for well over 3.2k.


I'll post something about the other classes later. x-x

Depending on the group of people you play, and looking at Loyalty1 screen, you could drop Invigoration, Ion shield and Divine Protection (templar) and lower Mana Shield to 1, and spend those points in Salvation: this is only if you play in ST and have a group of people that dont buy mall, often people run out of aeds and is nice that besides of rise them, they can come back with good hp and without lose much xp. But is something to pick depending on the playing conditions, is the same as WoG for Tempest, if you dont play at all with melees and dont like the semi-support roll in pvp, then pick it is a waste, but if you play with a melee often and like to buff the melees in pvp, then go for it.

i like your rad build loy.

for tempest pve

bolts at 1, max 3 main aoes, lvl 1 twister and elec shock, max lesser heal, max dp, max sleep, max both masteries, sould depuration 1 (js) and rest whatver.

make sure you dna swift lesser heal for any kind of build, str 6 lesser heal is good, and extended holy light and lighting restraint for sure are amazing for grind.

for tempest pvp i just reskilled.

elec bolt still 1 but charged bolt lvl 10 (instead of glaring light to lvl 1) holy bolt 5, curse resist for easier resist cap if you are using non tbf wand, and rest the same but i chose different dna.

ofc still swift lesser and str 6, but i dropped extended aoes (kind of gimps u in pve but i dont care much for it now) and i went for lvl 6 magic mastery and lvl 7 lighting mastery and 1 spare point either str holy light or ext lr 1 tic.

There isn't much choice at 79. ^^

If you don't PvP, sure.

[Lanni]

As example of endgame builds for radiant. My current build differ from it only that I have maxxed "SI" and no points invested to "Ion Shield", "Invigoration" and "DP" (1st job).

My tempest build is next. But I'm not playing my tempest for many time.

[Nadesh]

Ah, nice, how it work Instant Moving in pvp? never test it there. Even with all the cons the idea of the skill is still good, it is a shame that one must spend 10 dna points to make it instant cast (knowing that atm the max is 7 because of the lvl cap), knowing that we still cant have it instant. If it was 5 points or we had more dna points it would be another story.
