I’m having a blast, really I am, but I’ve hit a bit of a wall here with increasing my build. My wall isn’t necessarily an actual wall, it’s the fact that I have this awesome exalted fire staff that I’d LIKE to put into the temporal lock to turn into something awesome… The issue is I don’t have anything good enough to match to it. Sure, I could put it on Argon’s Refuge, which is a good weapon, don’t get me wrong… But my point is that we’ve got Abberrant Call, a staff that boosts wraiths to an absurd degree. We have Omnividiance, which gives all void skills a +1 boost. The two fire unique staves are Argon’s refuge, which specifically only boosts Flame Ward (which is good, don’t get me wrong), and Dragonflame’s Edict, which sounds like it should be a fire staff, and it is… A minion fire staff. I am not a minion mancer.
So, I thought: maybe I’m barking up the wrong weapon tree? I mean, there’s that cool Ignivar’s Head that boosts disintegrate, maybe I could get a wand or scepter? Well, the only fire weapons there are Cinder Song, which despite all the benefits it gives, is actually quite weak (only +4-6 spell damage, when literally all the higher level wand weapons get +49-56 spell damage. Trust me, it matters). As to scepters, Firestarter’s Torch is the only choice, which again has a spell damage that does not match higher-level items (+3 spell damage).
Is there a fire item I’m missing? Some sword or something that is secretly the way I should have been going? Because I’m frankly at my wit’s end, here. I want to use the temporal sanctum, I really do, but my options are surprisingly limited.
Now, I’m not saying that I have NO options. I AM saying that the number of necromancy and void-based items I’ve found is staggering compared to the number of fire-specific items, while the fire-based options are down to one, maybe two good options.
