Mage/Dark Wizard Need Advice On Pure Endgame Build

Okay so here is my problem:

I have been trying to make a build using the mythical wand Pure. No matter how people feel about that wand I can shake the feeling that it has huge potential.

So after now about 30 different builds x) I have decided to ask for help as I just can't seem to be able to balance it...

As you might know Pure focuses on high raw spell damage combined with air and water damage. However the wand completly lacks melee... I have tried to compensate for this using a combination of items that inflict poison which didn't seem like such a bad idea however it came at the cost of lower spell damage.

Here is a link to my current build :

I have abandonned melee completly to focus solely on spell damage as you can see this build has a tremendous amount of raw spell damage combined with elemental damage boosts. HOWEVER it comes at the cost of thunder and earth defence. this leads to an unefficient use of powders only aiming to reduce the elemental weakness's of the build.

As I have now run out of ideas to balance this build myself I was wondering if any you fellas could help me out and share your ideas. I'm open to any and all suggestions.

 

actually, using powders to balance defenses on pure isn't too bad, since a significant chunk of the damage is from raw spell, and also it's dual element (so you can't boost all your damage)

https://wynndata.tk/s/VfGhmQ has more ele def, and a bit more mana

i ditched sizzling because, well, aquamarine

then, i ditched aurora because finesse gives raw spell (which is more valuable then 10% damage). also, sp is always nice.


another note is that you should dump into int if you want more damage, or agi if you need survivability

 

Thank you for your insight ! This helped quite a bit, i'll try this out as soon as I gather these new items.

 

Raw spell might work, I'm not very familiar with Pure. You can take a lot of damage-reducing items and shrug off the negatives because Pure has such high boosts, there are probably ways to use that to your advantage.
