Crucible Full Run With OP Magic Staff! | No Rest for the Wicked 

I can only buy one focus potion from vendor ,were are they infinite ?

@@avinfun the alchemist. If you don't have him, you must have missed the cave dungeon that he was in.

Finally beat with a mage build as well. I *really* like the first craftable staff "Spheren" - fully upgraded it does incredible damage with both the icicle and especially the close range frost slam. I also really like its attack combos; has two double hit swings in its basic attack chain, and it's running/rolling 1st and 2nd attack come out quick. Recommend checking it out! The 42 INT staff has better ice spell diversity but all 4 slots are taken and moves aren't as good.

Oh and how much HP do you have? It was cool to see channel take such a small chunk.

@@7thdrxn Just checked and I have 31 points in Health, giving me 145 base hp! With a couple pieces of % increased health gear, it was closer to 175 (my other characters now have that gear so I don't know for sure). With a sirloin platter, that's going to be 220 hp.

Christ?

@@Tollgrinder282 amen

HAIL HYDRA!

I said the same thing lol. I asked another streamer if they would do a magic run and he said "in this game, using a 2 hand axe is still a magic run because we all use focus" and he was 100% serious lol

Once you get your gear and a bit of money you kind of feel like you're cheating using it.

Yeah I'm going to try some of the faith staffs out soon. Some of the spells sound fun!

Totally random. I keep white gear that isn't very low armour/insanely heavy and quickly enchant stuff after a run as I go to repair.

@@Snapziey Thank you!

Yeah I use the same realm. I have a video on how to level fast if you are interested.

Yeah I played it for two runs. Two, because I forgot to record the first, haha. Trying out a lot of builds at the moment instead of sticking to one.

Damn that does sound pretty fun! I've seen people say magic was weak so I wanted to see for myself. Once you build the right gear and you have money at your disposal, you basically have infinite focus, can play at ranged and do massive damage.

Any focus build (bow as well) with gem on trousers returning focus is broken. You literally have infinite spells/bow shots. Tried with bow 1st, the build returns focus even if you don’t hit anything, no need for pots. Building mage with same build now.

@@NightShade1518 gotta try that, which gem on trousers?

@@Jusumoner1 I can't check currently but I think it might be a topaz.

@@NightShade1518 They nerfed it in latest hotfix, it's still not bad tho. More in line with the stamina/health regain enchants.

Yeah I've got quite a few dupes as well. Not done the most amount of runs, as I've made 5 characters to test out builds, haha. I'll show what I have so far: imgur.com/a/TEPPT5g

Nice set of uniques!

Do you have discord?

@@Jusumoner1 I don't at the moment.

With the combination of focus pots being cheap and crucible giving out so much money, you basically have infinite focus. Also, using the 'channel' spell to get 50 focus drains some hp, but then you just 1-shot a mob and your hp on kill staff/gear gives you it back! Works out perfectly. But yeah, I'm sure the idea was to use weak hits to get focus for big hits. They might need to put a cooldown on items or something. Magic is definitely the strongest build I've played by far and I've made, I think, 6 characters now!

There's a few ways to go about getting focus. First, once you start getting money, focus potions aren't too expensive. When I was doing my crucible run on that character I had about 100 focus potions. You can also use channel to gain 50 focus by sacrificing some hp, but if you get hp gained on kill on your staff/gear, it means one kill gives you all the HP you lost back. Try watching when I use channel in the video and then kill something!

@@Snapziey yes i noticed you had your hp recovered when u kill a unit, its very useful. how do you get that? thanks

@@victorchoong3553 just a random enchant on gear/weapon! Because you can infinitely buy the staff from the blacksmith, you can try get a good enchant. Blood stone in weapon also gives HP on kill and is also the only useful gem for magic weapons, as extra elemental damage doesn't work.

@@Snapziey i see! so you're using staff that bought from blacksmith?

@@victorchoong3553 yep! First staff you get and it's already op lmao.

Level 30

It's definitely the strongest thing I've tried so far! It seems that the gnarled staff is stronger than the unique weapons lmao!

@@Snapziey It depends on your enchant rolls. The truly strong ones are when you get a high ATK base and get lucky on the enchant rolls. I believe Gnarled Staff can have a R1 starting white ATK at 5 (Vendor only sells 4), and you can get better Focus gain stat base too. I have a Plate mage which has 27 Health 15 Stam 11 Equip load rest in Int, 900 ish armor 150-170 Res 500 Focus Fat-rolling which I would just blink around and cast spells instead of dodging. Also has 22 stat points leftover un-allocated. Most of the unique weapons are pretty weak. And the strongest runes are definitely, Blink, Ice/Lightning Throws followed by any of the multi-hit or charge forward runes. Whilst spell do hit hard, they dont do Stagger damage. Ice/Lightning Throw literally Freeze/Electrocutes on top of stagger breaking bosses. (I have a 60 ATK Ice Breaker which Ice Throws for 111 damage x 2 that is focus positive too if I just want to quick run Crucibles) In honesty, I dont find spells that interesting yet since all the spell is generic elemental flavored bolt, shotgun, nova, area blast. No super beams, meteor to spice it up whereas weapon skill has some semblance of variety.

Put points into 'focus'
