Build priorities are our recommendations; exact ranks and offered amulet effects should be read in your client. Evidence & version scope →

CHOOSE THE PLAN YOU CAN ACTUALLY START

Which Mage build should I try?

Pyroblast Fire

The compelling connection is Fire critical strikes feeding both Ignite and Hot Streak. Pyroclasm then gives the opening spell and kill chain a clear identity. Establish that engine before treating every attractive secondary upgrade as equally useful.

Inspect these talents: Ignite · Hot Streak · Improved Blast Wave · Impact · Pyroclasm.

Water Elemental Frost

The strongest documented connection is between control effects and Shatter's conditional damage bonus. Frostbite and the capstone's periodic Nova can contribute control, while Splitting Ice helps the central projectile affect packs. Build around those jobs instead of expecting the Fire guide's Ignite or free-Pyroblast engine to appear automatically.

Inspect these talents: Improved Frostbolt · Frostbite · Shatter · Arctic Reach · Splitting Ice · Summon Water Elemental.

Compare your current starting point.

Check the Armory before a run. A described starting-spell milestone only applies when your selected talents provide it. Choose the route whose available core and support match your character, then use the guide’s conditional priorities to compare real offers. These are original build proposals rather than a measured ranking between the two.
