About this build

A fire-focused caster whose damage comes from Hellfire, Blaze, Bittercold Wind, Firestorm and Wish of Concentration, plus ground effects (Fire Wall, Bittercold Wind) that keep ticking on bosses. Element Enhancement is opened at Lv5 for its accuracy, then raised to 20 because its tiers multiply Robe of Flame and Grace of Enhancement. Fire Wall is only worth taking at Lv20, and Delayed Explosion and Cold Storm fill the last two slots.

High confidence

Endgame gear at level 45

Endgame gear at level 45

The highest item level each slot reaches at level 45. Crafted pieces exist for both factions (Elyos · Asmodians) with the same stats.

The best Item Level each slot can reach at the level cap. Weapons, armor and jewelry are the Item Level 102 pieces with five soul lines, made by Transfer crafting from their Item Level 94 versions, so craft those first. Bracelets come from the Sanctuary or Substance Morph (Item Level 86). The belt and the amulet come from Substance Morph (Item Level 65); the amulet differs between PvE and PvP. Runes come from quests and chests (Item Level 40).

Medium confidenceRead from the client's items: the highest item level a player can obtain for each slot at level 45.

Assumed: every Regional quest and Seal dungeon of your faction done once by level 45, at its recommended level (Asmodian Seals on the speedrun route at that route's level, never earlier). Levels alone give 136.

The goal is every node. Leveling pays for part of it, so the order decides what comes first: the nodes that raise your core skills, then these keystones.

  1. Damage Boost
  2. Critical Damage Boost
  3. Combat Speed
  4. Multi-hit Chance
  5. Cooldown Reduction
  6. Damage Tolerance

Our suggestion, read from the client's stat descriptions: no player data covers level-45 keystones yet.

Skill points take a skill to Lv 10 at most: one Specialty slot with options 1 to 3. Lv 12, 16 and 20 (options 4 and 5, the second and third slot) need bonus skill levels from Daevanion, gear and Arcana.

Good to know

Good to know

EU Blaze has no 'cast while moving' option, so older specialty advice for it does not apply.

Mastery levels above 10 and stigma levels above 20 come only from bonus skill levels on gear and progression boards: a later goal.
