builds qn

um ive come to realise that maybe wynn isnt a game with too many like meta builds.

im assuming, and correct me, that i should just do stats, ability tree, and equips according to what i like. like how blizzard wizards do more stats into water.

ok 1st fr qn is are there any equips or abilities that are more common/everyone uses, as an arcanist here?

2nd qn is kinda related but they have tags like "arcanist archetype" below abilities but im guessing i dont have to follow that and just pick what i like (like using water mastery even tho its light bender cos i like icesnake lol)?

 

There are absolutely meta builds and overpowered/ overused items. You don't have to use them, and you can make a lot of very creative builds. As for the ability tree, it is a bit less flexible due to a lot of later nodes having requirements, so you need to have a certain number of nodes in that path to unlock them, but you do have the ability to spread your nodes out. Personally I use a riftwalker that also has some expansion into the arcanist tree to maximize damage because later riftwalker perks aren't as good.

 

ahhh okay but for my first time i should just explore yeah
