Mage Hunter

Inquisitor + Arcanist

A ranged damage build that utilizes all elemental types to overwhelm enemies with fire, cold, and lightning. This variety allows the build to handle enemies with different resistances, while those without elemental resistance become especially vulnerable. This build was created around making the Runebinder set work across all three major elemental damage types, resulting in a well rounded and element focused playstyle. It is a fun and thematic build, allowing you to take on the role of an inquisitor who hunts mages using their own elements against them. The wide range of runes you deploy forms the backbone of this build.

Every skill in this build plays an important role. Elemental skills and runes make up the core of your offensive power, while nearly all passive abilities in the Inquisitor tree significantly boost overall damage. Word of Renewal acts as your secondary healing option and, at higher ranks, also improves damage output. Inquisitor Seal provides minor healing on its own, but its next modifier greatly increases elemental damage while standing within it.

This pairs well with Iskandra’s Elemental Exchange, especially when enhanced by its modifier, Manifestation, which increases elemental damage further and converts some Physical damage into elemental damage. Overall, the selected skills focus on maximizing elemental damage output while maintaining enough survivability and resource management to remain effective in all situations.

This will be your starting class, with a primary focus on progressing the Mastery Bar, as nearly every skill and rune in this class is utilized. No single element is prioritized, as they all contribute equally to the build.

As you unlock new tiers, invest a few points into each relevant ability, but continue prioritizing advancement through the Mastery Bar. Since this build uses many skills, spreading points to unlock them early is more effective. Reaching the later abilities as soon as possible is key.

This will be your secondary class, with a focus on Iskandra’s Elemental Exchange to increase elemental damage, benefiting all primary skills used in the Inquisitor class. Inner Focus provides a modest boost to Spirit and Offensive Ability, while Arcane Will increases damage when your health falls below 75 percent, a threshold that is easy to trigger.

Maiven’s Sphere offers valuable damage reduction, improving survivability. The remaining abilities are primarily passive and contribute to the overall effectiveness of the build.
