Drizzle Aeromancer Build Guide for PvE

Build

required skill points: 416

Aeromancer focuses on accumulating meter and unleashing powerful skills through their identity window. This gameplay can be likened to a reflux-igniter infusion, where meter is gathered and powerful skills are unleashed once the identity gauge is filled. Similarly to Sorceresses, they also rely on specialization stats to generate more meter and enhance the damage of their weather skills.

Unlike Sorceresses, however, it has a more distributed damage profile, rather than heavily relying on a single skill. While their damage potential may not reach the same heights as Sorceresses, the process of building meter is simpler and more straightforward.

Your main goal is to fill up the raindrop gauge and engage in a repeated cycle of casting your damaging skills within the Sun Shower effect. During your identity window, it is advisable to unleash your most powerful skills, as the engraving significantly amplifies your damage output in this state. By skillfully managing your meter and making the most of your identity, you can unleash devastating attacks and maximize your effectiveness.

Specialization is the main combat stat Aeromancer requires so she can build Sun Shower faster, specialization also increases Weather damage which is the main skill type Drizzle uses. For the secondary combat stat, you would go crit to increase your crit rate to increase your low crit chances.

Bracelet

Bracelets have a large pool of potential effects and it can get very expensive trying to obtain specific ones. The best way to approach this item is to use one with the correct combat stats for your build and not worry too much about the extra effects until you can afford to spend a significant amount of gold on them.

Spec + Crit is recommended

Additional Effects that are good to have:

  • Hammer
  • Wedge* (only if you already have Hammer)
  • Superiority* (On successful Basic Attack against a foe, Damage +1.5/2/2.5/3%)
  • Precise
  • Assail
  • Fervor
  • Circulate

Gear set

Hallucination is the recommended set due to not having excess crit.
