Warrior/Knight Praesidium Melee Fire/air Build

I found this hella cool spear while on my loot run. I want to make a hella cool build using it! I'm going to focus on moving quicky and also killing quickly, while still being able to tank heavy damage.

We will be using the mighty spear Praesidium.

Pretty dank.

For our helmet, we'll use Heroism. It gives a crap ton of HP and some walk speed.

I was lucky enough to get MAX HEALTH!

I don't have a pic of this bad boy, but I found it on wynnapps.

It was perfect! Mana regen for the mobility spells, and it counters that pesky negative health regen from Heroism.

Spoiler: Alternative Chestplate

Alternatively, we can use Chestplate of Ineptitude. I mean, why not make our spell damage even worse if it's already so bad! Just make sure you aren't trying to use health regen items if you go this way; you'll die very quickly with like -300% health regen.

Saggitarius! Lovely saggitarius. It gives great raw melee damage, plus great walk speed!


We're kind of tight with the defense department. We need to get it to 135 in order to actually use Praesidium! Sadly, we have to use this:

Don't fret too much! This is still very good! Hetusol would counter the negative mana regen! The boots also help against all this negative health regen%.

We will use a mix of Garnet Ring and/or Kaze, depending on how much defense you have now.



Clock Amulet for some extra defense and that sweet fire damage in the set bonus.


And for our bracelet, we can use Justice for defense and fire damage, or Follow the Wind for walk speed.

Spoiler: Alternative Bracelet

For our final results:
We have about 17k health,
around 500 raw health regen plus 10%
around +30% walk speed,
2/4 mana regen,
390 fire defense, 260 air defense, -15 water defense, -165 thunder defense, -275 earth defense.

The defense isn't amazing, but we still have a ton of health. Defense and agility would greatly reduce the extra damage taken anyway.

Hope you enjoy it!

 

I would like some feedback on this! :D

 

I am not good at builds, But maybe you need to put the health, mana regen etc. in total.

 

This ^^

But it seems nice! :3

 

thanks! :)

I just put in the final IDs.

 

The elemental defenses are really bad.

 

With an ~80% damage reduction overall, does it matter that much? :p

 

You seem to be missing the entire point of the spear. To wit, I initially wanted to have the texture be a shield...

The average base damage for a spear of that level and attack tier should be... 660. Praesidium averages 455. About 70% of how it should normally be. That spear is not a spear for killing; it is strictly meant to tank damage. If you want to kill things with Praesidium, you will be very sad to see that your spells are entirely useless and your basic attack is abysmally slow. Use it for tanking with a team, however, and it shines beautifully.

 

Yes, it really does for a tank build.

 

I'm counting 133 defense points if all the defense ids are maxed in the armor

 

Huh.
I had thought that its damage was actually pretty good for a tank spear. I remember now that it's supposed to be lower than other spears; however, making spells useless for damaging would be a good incentive to make the other side (melee) a bit stronger. I guess I was fooled by that?

This is still a pretty tanky build, though. It's quick, but durable at the same time. I intended for it to be an off-tank and not a full on tank but with your explanation that just makes it seem pretty weak now. I'm still going to test it just in case.

also, i don't mind not being able to use spells (or have a slow attack speed) because my internet is bad which makes melee a lot more reliable for me.

100+10+7+12+3+3=135, not even counting Justice.

 

wait so those arent max defense points on the heroism? if so then nvm
and also you edited in the garnet rings before i saw them

 

Yeah, the maximum is 10. 1 star doesn't mean max!

 

yeah i know that, just made an assumption and too lazy to check wynnapps

 

defense is bugged and only works for neutral so its garbage
