Extremely funny build. Nonmythic spell mage but never get walled again. I wish it had more walkspeed or was maybe much much stronger (why does nothing in nonmythic mage even begin to compare to singularity hybrid? very sad.)

Anxiolamentrift (Lament Poison Hybrid with Sorcery)
EHP: 32k/17k
Damage: 19k meteor / 2.7k poison tick; empirically ~50-55k? dps, hard to say

WynnBuilder build:
> Caesura
> Time Rift
> Anxiolytic
> Galleon
> Prism
> Diamond Hydro Ring
> Prowess
> Diamond Fusion Necklace
> Lament [w6w6w6]

Lament build made for raw power. Extremely funny and extremely cool on paper (uses anxiolytic unironically, to increase the spellcosts (!!!) to allow concentration to build up to its max potential). Poison plus time rift is also a potent combo, and Lament's healing power makes it pretty easily livable. However, the build has next to no mana regen and no walkspeed, making it a big pain to play, hence the relatively low QOL rating.

Throttled spellcasting (3 meteors/4sec as described in the attacking cycle) decreases mana requirements -- I've been able to get away with a 6ms lament with all other rolls perfect -- while actually increasing dps, due to the silly way mage meteors interact with time rift.

Funny build that does damage with everything. (except charge)

This build definitely has a learning curve. Takes awhile to get used to generalist, also lack of aerodynamics is a bit sad but it works
RoTS offhand crutch is pretty good for quality of life though.

This is my take on @YYGAYMER 's flameshot hilt spell build. To see how the build plays in practice, check out their video:


So honestly I'm not a big fan of assassin in general -- acrobat requires.. heavy training, trickster is awkward overall (but probably has potential -- need to try/practice), and shadestepper gets to play count to 5 and then cry in backstab's tiny hitbox..., and dash... dash......
But! This build comes with crazy high hpr and decent EHP, while still dealing decent damage! It's shadestepper on easy mode, good enough that I can enjoy gameplay. Facetank your way to victory in LI with frontstabs or set up combos and deal decent damage to bosses. (I'm pretty bad at assassin as of time of this writing.)

(Cry in TNA boss because the walkspeed isn't high enough to chase greg well, and backstab's hitbox is tiny relative to how fast the fight moves)

 

Imagine playing spell build with intelligence

Rainbow Arcanist Quetzalcoatl (Currently in use) (Needs tome for 4sp)
EHP: 25k/14k

> Libra
> Leictreach Makani

> Quetzalcoatl [t6t6t6t6]

I wanted to try arcanist! Inspired by @LateOgre 's arcanist warp build (https://hppeng-wynn.github.io/build...0T40Ji0R116+c1m-O2W1g00001007lUzz++++-tB-pN-p), I tried making my own version, preferably without requiring hpr tomes and with entropy, just for kicks. And this is the end result!
Arcanist building is in a funny spot where even though you have access to (arguably) the best dodging spell in the form of tp, you have to build such that you (almost) never have to cast tp to dodge bosses because any teleport casts get copied by chaos explosion and can lead to you feeding your face straight into a deadly combo. Having high walkspeed gets around this problem.
Side note: Arcanist is in a really funny spot where its steady state dps lags far behind riftwalker on paper, but the reality of LI fights being relatively short (and TNA boss always moving to dodge your thunderstorm) means that they're much more comparable ingame. I haven't timed it yet but I'd bet that this build runs a faster LI time than my riftwalker warp build!


unfortunate word of warning: this build (if it wasn't clear) is not budget friendly -- you want a -7 tier tenuto with good other stats, and leictreach is roll hell... and slayer needs good spellcost, walkspeed, and hpr, etc etc

Ring can swap for Ingress if you don't want crafted items.

I wanted to try arcanist, but do even more damage! So I tried winded arcanist with 0 intelligence. Works well enough magically!
Pretty expensive build though. Every percent of spellcost matters... since every 1% spellcost reduction is something like 0.4 meteor cost... so you really want a max cost slayer, lachesism, cardiac arrest...
Also requires hpr tomes...

I wanted to try playing assassin. But I don't like acrobat, and don't like "slow" shadestepper, and don't like clone based trickshade/echo either. So here's a "vanilla"/1.20 assassin emulation tree that uses base multihit and marked to do decent damage and plays similar to old style assassin (except without OP vanish gameplay). It's definitely not an easy build to pilot by any means.

WARN1: If it wasn't clear from the descriptions, this is a very high stress build. Low ehp and walkspeed isn't as high as I would like, but combined with very high sustain. You'll be trading blows and heal fast but also die quickly. The video should make this more clear.

WARN2: This build is also not budget friendly (bete noire, chain rule, electromage... and nullification of course) and also (like all of assassin tbh) kinda underwhelming compared to other classes.

You can also try using this tree (LateOgre ed. of "vanilla" assassin) which has silent killer, shadow travel, and blade fury.

I also tried this tree variation and it plays about the same but is a bit more mana hungry since gas is less optional (if you want optimal dps).

This is what happens when you slap damage items on every armor piece :)
Anyway the build plays pretty similar to the nullification build (same tree, "vanilla" style gameplay) but it feels a bit glassier and has worse lifesteal health sustain. In exchange it is considerably cheaper to obtain and has a decent bit of hpr (no rolling for -hpr!) and no -hpr% so its a bit "nicer" to play with. However the scrap consumption is pretty high since the build requires pretty high spellspam.

 

Updating old build

I went back down to very slow attack speed (from slow) even though its less melee damage -- made mana steal more consistent and the build is overall easier to use for me. Also grabbed a bit more walkspeed in exchange for a pretty big drop in ehp (although practically I like this variant better, since its damage is shifted away from melee and onto spell, so you get hit less.)
For ehp variation: swap intensity and simulacrum for photon and contrast. Can be swapped on the fly which is nice!

Heh. Another generalist build. However, this one plays quite differently compared to the Alkatraz one.
Melee dps is much lower -- you really just attack for mana and to charge corrupted. Spellspam rate is much higher -- you'll basically be constantly casting spells, compared to the alka build which plays at ~4.5 cps this is nearly double. Higher effort build but I really like it!
High ehp, very high walkspeed. Pretty effective overall (sadly can't use RotS offhand like the Alka build in this configuration.)

This build is so ridiculously strong for a rare weapon. Runs LI faster than the collapse variation lol (and has similar stats across the board, in ehp, walkspeed, and better elemental defense...)

Would not recommend if its your first generalist build -- the mana is lower than the collapse build on top of miscasting a single uppercut instantly deleting half of your mana bar, so you really can't afford to mess up. Also unfortunately doesn't have a great way to heal up outside of combat -- brainwash deletes your health regen, and no RoTS access.

WynnBuilder build:

I have gone without a real archer build for quite a while now but wanted to make something using Epoch, in the spirit of my 1.20 Epoch Hybrid build -- something fun that combines archer's naturally high spell damage with Epoch's naturally high melee damage. It's quite a bit more difficult to achieve spellspam in Wynn 2.0, and cramming spellcost reduction, mana, attack speed, and damage into the same build poses quite the challenge. (It seems someone forgot to add ehp to this build!)

All in all this build.... does what it was designed to do. It feels like my 1.20 build (if a bit glassier), and performs well enough all things considered. Runs about 5:40 LI on a good day.

Negative health regen is countered by a crafted offhand bow (material tier doesn't really matter here):
https://hppeng-wynn.github.io/crafter/#14v4v4v4v4v4v9b91
> Bow Lv. 103-105 (3✫, 3✫)
> [Olmic Artifact | Olmic Artifact
> Olmic Artifact | Olmic Artifact

Instead of using Leictreach, you can opt to use Gemini and Breezehands -- trades about 20% of the damage and a bit of walkspeed for 20% more EHP.

birdmade noticed: hey why not just use alkatraz instead of black amaranth?

turns out the mana sustain dies pretty badly but the DPS is fine -- either cast spells fast and burn mana (burst down every LI boss) or cast slowly and still enjoy steady 200k dps or so

high ws, ehp, ssac for damage etc
