Thanks! It's hard to say. It definitely ranks up there with Templar and Nightblade. I'd put it somewhere in the top three. I do think it's probably the easiest class to push vMA on though. It would take me a lot more reps to get a 616 on another class.
Tell me something. Is there some tactics to kill fastly bosses in stage 2. The first one is immuned pretty quickly, I haven’t got plenty of time to kill it fast enough. Any suggestions?
Yes. The key is to pre-damage (wall, trap, caltrops) before the first one spawns. Make sure you reapply your buffs right before the new round starts too. Keep your distance at first, otherwise the boss will try to melee you and then immediately become immune. You can close in once he starts shooting lightning bombs out. Try to use flail as soon as he starts spawning in to build crux. Try to also position along his flanks so that you can get Minor Berserk from Camo Hunter. On Arcanist, the first boss should die with a single beam. If he has a sliver of health remaining, you can let your dots finish him off and move to the next one. For the second boss, immediately drop your ultimate, caltrops, and beam or flail. If the first two die, the final boss will not be able to turn immune. Keep in mind that it is a challenging strat to pull off at first and will take some practice. I still occasionally make small mistakes and don't burn them fast enough. Hope this helps!
Thanks! Not 100% sure as it's been several weeks since I ran this. Pretty sure I ran Sul-Xan on the body. I imagine Deadly on the body is marginally better because that allows you to keep the 5-pc bonus on both bars. In practice, it doesn't make a huge difference though.
Thanks! I honestly can't remember how I mixed the two together here. I imagine sul-xan weapons/jewelry (w/ a body piece) is best so that the 5 pc bonus from deadly strike is active on both bars. Doesn't make a huge difference either way though.
@@ADG--fj2wr Yeah it looks unreal lmao! You're welcome, great run. I'm just tryna sort my Arcanist out now, but mine is Magicka so struggling on what set to go with my Deadly Strike pieces, and whether or not Dark or High Elf is the best
Ooh I see.. So its perfectly timed to collect the 3rd ghost just before boss spawns.. Gonna try to nuke him today hehehe thanks so much for the reply.. Amazing video
@@muzaffarhassen3765 Thanks! It takes some practice. Sometimes you do get bad luck with the ghost spawns too--the 3rd ghost may not spawn at all or happens to spawn on top of an add (causing you to lose it). Often, I have to reset a good run due to these issues. You ideally want it to appear just as you're clearing the last wave of adds to avoid waiting. Best of luck!
In this run, I used: Camo Hunter, Inspired Scholarship, Silver Leash, Pragmatic Fatecarver, Flail, and The Languid Eye (front bar). Razor Caltrops, Cruxweaver's Armor, Barbed Trap, Zena's Empowering Disk, Blockade, and Destro Ult (back bar). Lately I've been liking blade cloak instead of trap, and Tide King's Gaze (instead of Languid Eye) for certain bosses.
sick, used your templar build yesterday to get my fastest Vma Clear.
That's awesome! I need to revisit Templar at some point. The buff to Solar Barrage looks interesting for vMA. Congrats on your new high score :)
Woah. What a burn on the final boss. Satisfying to watch. Cheers!
Nice work man. Arcanist looks pretty good...where do you think it ranks in vma compared to other classes??

Hello 👋 Very nice run,thanks to this I'll improve my score hopefully.Thank You very much👍

That's a nice clean clear. Did you body Deadly or frontbar it?

Hi, great vid!
Do you use deadly on body and sul on weapons jewlery and like a shoulder or sth?
Thanks! I honestly can't remember how I mixed the two together here. I imagine sul-xan weapons/jewelry (w/ a body piece) is best so that the 5 pc bonus from deadly strike is active on both bars. Doesn't make a huge difference either way though.
Would this work on a breton arcanist? Watching you run through vma like it's on normal is so satisfying.
Thanks! And yes, it would. Race isn't super important. It would be a little harder to score push, but you could still get really fast clears.
Hey - very impressive!! I know you listed most of your build, but can you tell us what skills are on your spell bars plz?
Sure, no prob! Front Bar: Inspired Scholarship, Camo Hunter, Flail, Pragmatic Fatecarver, Silver Leash, and The Languid Eye.
Backbar: Blockade, Razor Caltrops, Zenas Empowering Disc, Barbed Trap, Cruxweaver Armor, and Destro Ult.
what is that last skill from second bar ? one you hit ther floor?
Blockade of Fire (morph of Wall of Elements).
How is your beam doing like 25k a tick that's crazy, without having 3 cruxes too damn - absolutely melting things
Thanks! It's ridiculous how strong the beam is. By far, the easiest class for Maelstrom Arena.

Yo are u sitting at 24k health and 31k stam u rocking coral or ansuls?
Neither, I used Sul-Xan and Deadly Strike here.
What were your weapon enchants front did you actually run shock glyph or nah?
Flame and Poison. Shock is probably a bit better for minor vulnerability.
Which skills had this build
Please can you explain how you stunned final boss stage 9? 😮
If you collect three gold ghosts you unlock the spectral explosion synergy for a certain amount of time. If you use the synergy it stuns everything :)

insane, you can show the arcanist skill? I can't see in this video.

@@ADG--fj2wr God bless you man.. tks
How do you heal yourself other than flail?
The shield from fatecarver helps a lot. Other than that, it's just flail. You can use the healing version of Arcanist's Domain to help too.
@@ADG--fj2wr ohh you’re using the shield version , gotcha
''A better player'' fishing for compliments lol
