Questions About Mythics

After reading the title you probably thought i was going to ask about their drop chances or something. Instead, I just have a bunch of questions related to their price, ids and viability in-game. If anyone with experience building with mythics could respond, that’d be great.

So i have a bunch of questions.

1: Is lament viable or is it a lameme?

2: Is hero good as a cheaper alternative to thrundacrack/idol?

3: Is grimtrap best for melee, hybrid or spell?

4: Is weathered worth its hefty price tag if you’re on a budget? Would it be better to go for something like grimtrap?

5: Is gaia good/Is melee mage viable?

6: Isn’t gma just like divzer?

7: Is apoc better for melee dps than alka?

8: Does singu get more dps than fatal? What is the difference?



So yeah, i’m not very experienced with mythics and building with myhtics so if someone could answer atl some of the questions that’d be cool. Also sorry if this should belong in class builds, not sure where this would go.


anyways, thanks.

 

1. Lament is pretty terrible. I think it tops out at around 15k meteors if you invest literally all of your effort into building damage.
2. Spell Hero is viable, relative to Thrunda and Idol at least (let's not get into spell warrior).
3. Grimtrap is viable in pure spell, spell hybrid, tierstack melee, and to some extent even heavy melee. It's possibly the most versatile mythic. I'd say it's best in spell hybrid though.
4. I'd take Grimtrap over Weathered personally, although neither is particularly bad.
5. Gaia is the best mythic imo. Mage is one of the few classes where melee is anywhere near competitive with spell.
6. GMA is just Earth Divzer but with a much more important downside and no big benefits like Divzer's ms/ls.
7. Alkatraz gets better dps pretty much regardless of how you build it, but Apocalypse has a lot more survivability.
8. Singu probably does because it has pretty powerful melee damage. Imo, Singu and Gaia are the two strongest mythics.

 

Thanks mr construction worker. now ik this is startin to heavily drift into class builds territory but could u share a good gaia build? i’m interested.

 

https://wynndata.tk/s/caox87 not the most optimal of Gaia builds, I know I've made builds a bit better than this - but this is what I came up with after about a minute and I'm too lazy to spend more time.

 

damn didnt know melee mage could hit 18k dps. thanks.
