Mage/Dark Wizard A Surpricingly Balanced Warp Build

Hey umm...

I finally got my hands on a Warp and made a build for it. This weapon works surpricingly well and is far less gimmicky than it seems on the first glance.

Here is some real-time live footage of @Stag2001 using his Warp at the very moment:

I came to the conclusion that Warp is basically made for Statue. You can probably see why. If you have, let's say 200% walk speed on your Warp, you'll end up with 70ish% positive walk speed with that combo. Aaaaand you'll get 9250 health from your boots. Let's abuse that, shall we? The next thing we need to do is to counter the negative mana and health regen. This is easily accomplishable by using stereotypical int items. The last thing that sucks on Warp is the agility requirement. We'll tackle that with LI stuff. Warp is actually really good when you deal with the cons.
Let's get to the actual build now.

________________________________________________________________________

Helmet: Third Eye. An extra eye can never hurt. It is more or less necessary for the int points and the mana. Nothing too special there. Raw spell won't matter at all.

This Third Eye is owned by god knows who. I took the pic off google.

________________________________________________________________________

Chestplate: Aquarius. Mana. Absolutely necessary for this concept to work.

Actually owned by me, wowz

________________________________________________________________________

Leggings: Crystal. More mana, more agility, more int, reflection and walk speed. Pretty Warp-ey if you ask me. Huge thanks to @bloww for helping me with choosing the pants for the build.

Owned by @Homruh , correct me if I'm wrong.

________________________________________________________________________

Boots: Statue. I explained this already. Both stats would better be godlike, if you can afford a Warp do not screw it up here ok?

Actually owned by me as well wowz x3

________________________________________________________________________

Accessories: A double Summa for mana and some skill points, Diamond Steam Bracelet for more agility, Diamond Steam Necklace for even more agility. Have fun grinding LI. You know what these things look like so I won't bother finding the pics off google.

________________________________________________________________________

Weapon: Warp. Let's assume you have -10/4s mana regen on it. With perfect mana regen IDs on everything you'll have 8/4s mana regen and 110 int, which is actually pretty good for mana as you can rotate spells and take out your t h i c c Bonder in emergency cases. You can also carry around a Lament which is kind of a nice gimmick, if you invest a bit of skill points to int you can get 1 mana teleports with it.

Pic of @BisexualDog 's (correct me if I'm wrong) Warp, -14/4s mana ew ew, just so you get the point.



________________________________________________________________________

The skill points are going to be very tough, but thankfully only agi and int stats on your items matter. You need to have no less than 3 off max total possible agility on all the items.
If you want to, have fun getting the items and trying it out.

Some stats (if you somehow manage to get 100% perfect IDs on everything):
❤ Health: 14690
❉ Water Defense: 189
❋ Air Defense: 636
✦ Thunder Defense: -223
✤ Earth Defense: -11
- (fire defense is dead zero)

- All things considered, meteor damage varies between 9262-12595 (15461 if you get a max roll on that 5% crit hueheu)
- Maxed out agility at 150
- 110 int (invest 3 of your possible spare points and get a 13 int Lament for 1 mana TPs)
- 8/4s Mana Regen holding a perfect -10/4s Warp
- 52% Exploding (lol)
- 162% Walk Speed
- 172% Reflection (the countermeteors are real)

________________________________________________________________________

So, this build makes you pretty damn hard to kill (well... Cata will destroy you for sure but... you know) and you will deal really, really good damage with good mana capacity and ok mana regen, with nice bonus walk speed. All of this without an absolute need of using Warp as a secondary, you have easily enough mana and max hp to negate Warp's negative regen. This is a really nice build if you have the money and the dedication to get all the items, for PvP and PvE alike.

This build is 100% legit.

Yeah, until next time I feel bored and come here to write long boring monologues about virtual items in a block game,
Madib00 out.

 

statue + warp sucks, don't use it

 

cri
Um, why does it suck, to be exact?

 

every 4 seconds, you become a punching bag (assuming you switch off)
you waste a lot of mana on heal/tp
rinse and repeat until you have no mana and die

 

kek

 

My thoughts are
If your gonna use statue why use warp

 

How is this any better with any other Warp build?

________________________________

Warp has almost double of Statue's negative walk speed. You get 9k health boots with no downsides and actually 100% positive walk speed from the combo.

 

with any other build you don't have -4k hp (if you dont switch off) or -100% ws (if you do)

 

Thing is, you lose what makes warp, warp

 

I see your point, this will become a problem I did not think about. However, you do not absolutely need to switch, casting a heal once every 4 seconds does not sound too impossible to me. I've not tried if but it sounds manageable. And being a 130 agility 16k health punching bag does not sound too terrible to me if we count out Cata. But as I said you probably know better as I have not actually tried it.

You'll still have loads of walk speed left. It is still an air mage build. That is basically like saying making a tanky Cata makes you lose what makes Cata, Cata. And it kind of does but you get the point. I tried to nullify the extreme aspects to make a somewhat balanced air mage build.

 

well yeah but your mana is basically 3/4s? (i think heal costs 2 with this) instead of 5/4s

Spoiler: shameless thread stealing

dune storm
dondasch
air sanctuary
statue

raindrop
diamond steam
diamond steam
diamond steam/lapis necklace

warp
bonder

this is the best warp build imo. 16k(!!!) average meteors, -20% ws when you switch off, 8-10 mana regen, about 11k health and good defenses all around
the only con is that you cant get 68 int but you can probably get 47 int for 5 mana meteors and 4 mana heals and the high dmg and regen make up for it tbh

 

ok

wait...

wat

WTF

 

read pls

 

warp + statue bad at first
uses warp + statue build
warp + statue is best warp build now?

 

Took the number off Wynndata, by my calculations you'll have 7+4+2+2=15 and 15-10 = 5/4s.

Looks good, the concept is a bit different but I like it, whoever made it.

 

can you do the same thing with cataclsym?

 

The thing was that version does not have terrible walk speed when he switches off from Warp.

________________________________

Use Statue? Umm, probably not. I mean you can but you'll most likely have to jump around and that is not fun as an assassin.

 

warp + statue is bad
warp + statue + more ws is good

well its kind of a waste imo
you could get 15 mana regen (or use your slots on other gear) but you're only getting 3 because warp and you need to heal every 4 seconds
other than that its pretty viable, just not what id go for

 

Thanks for the feedback, I'll look into it and see if I find a way around it. Maybe just ditch Aquarius and get a Booster Plate or something? Maybe even as radical as Dark Shoud?

________________________________

Or then another thing that came to mind is Crystal for more mana, it covers the skill points nicely and 8/4s mana regen might actually be enough. -1.5k health is not a huge deal I guess.

 

crystal should work well since it has some nice walk speed, skill points and 100% reflection with warp
