Build
Offers the highest burst potential of builds. It makes use of casting spells similar to an Sorceress. However it has the lowest consistent damage potential. It is a turret-like playstyle, however it casts all its spells from range, making it relatively safe.
Pros

- Completely ranged, offering safety and teleports
- Relatively cheap to build
- Rotation is very simple and straightforward
Cons
- Slow compared to other Reflux builds (long cast, can’t reliably stay in boundless for extra attack speed and cooldown reduction)
- Reliant on hitting casting spells for most of its damage profile, missing them is quite punishing.

Gear set
Nightmare 6-Set is the default choice after reaching Relic Gear. Reaching boundless mode is hard to do with this build, but it’s important that when casting major skills, you are in magic addiction mode.
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 for them.
Your primary goal is to have a roll of the two primary stats we use, meaning Crit and Swiftness. Crit is preferred to have the highest roll between both.
If you decide to start rolling for additional effects, look for any of the following:
- Hammer
- Wedge* (only if you already have Hammer)
- Superiority* (On successful Basic Attack against a foe, Damage +1.5/2/2.5%)
- Precise
- Raid
- Fervor
- Circulate
