Great work @Heavy, as always.
Question: In the Runebolt skill you convert all bolts to lightning in the upper left, but in Frost Wall the Wall of Glyptic Art states that the bolts cast by Runebolt match the element of the Frost Wall regardless of Runebolt’s tree. What is the benefit of the conversion of Runebolt? I don’t see the skill on your bar so I’m assuming you’re only using it through the Frost Wall.

You @ the wrong person I think

LOL, you are correct. My apologies to both @Heavy and especially @boardman21.

Runevoly was a temporary substitute. Jump ahead to 65 and youll see its removed. It was a trial and error skill while planning the direction of the buold

Cool, thank you sir.

Very fun and strong build @boardman21 :slight_smile:
One little optimization suggestion here though:
In Teleport, you have 5pts in Ether Barrier. I suggest dropping 1pt there and putting it in Out of Mind. Since we are stacking Int, it gives way more Ward per Teleport Cast.

Hi there @boardman21 used to follow your builds back in the day, now I’m thinking of returning and trying out your new leveling build for this new mastery.
One noob question tho, at around level 76 you maxed out Elemental Blast but you don’t put it on your cast bar and put Runic Invocation instead which you did not invest any points in.
Can you lighten me up? Thanks alot and keep up the good work.

Elemental Nova is procd by teleport and frost claw. You don’t manually cast it. Runic. Invocation is put on your skill bar unspecced so that you get 36 ward per rune every time that you cast an area skill. In this case frost claw
