Hailstorm greatly increases Ice and Lightning damage done by enemies. Immobilized foes can't move or turn and most enemies can't attack players standing behind them. When you kill a target with the frozen debuff applied, you have a chance that four other enemies become immobilized. It is always recommended to max Ice Prison, in every build.įrozen Fate is one of the best crowd control passives in the game, possibly second only to the Shatter Storm passive of the Berserker class. Ice Prison is the most powerful crowd control skill of the Embermage class. While I don't recommend to max it in this build, one should never ignore the potential this skill has. Even better, it actually deals quite good damage in a wide area of effect at high levels. Teleportation with knock back and a chance to freeze enemies. Personally, I always max it in prismatic builds. Prismatic builds are heavily dependent on these effects, keeping them longer on bosses is important. None of the following skills are mandatory or required to make the Prismatic Bolt Embermage work, so the player is free to choose combination of them.Įlemental Attunement extends the duration of elemental effects. Optional SkillsEmbermages have countless options for offense and some crowd control options as well. Shockbolts released this way deal minor lightning damage to the nearby enemies. Shocked releases shockbolts when the target is struck.

When Lightning Brand procs, it deals lightning damage to the target, but it can't proc if the Shocked debuff is not applied to the target. It is important, that immobilized targets are not always frozen. Frozen slows the target's movement, attack and casting speeds and it stacks multiplicative with other slow effects. When Ice Brand procs, it deals ice damage to the target, but it can't proc if the Frozen debuff is not applied to the target. Burning deals damage over time, but it should not be confused by the damage over time effects caused by Magma Spear, Magma Mace, Firebombs or FIrestorm. When Fire Brand procs, it deals fire damage to the target, but it can't proc if the Burning debuff is not applied in the target. With it's impressive chance to trigger elemental effects, it's the easiest way to apply all three elemental effects required for prismatic builds.

On the other hand, it's an irregular one, instead of dealing the damage itself, it's nothing, but a simple trigger of three other skills. Prismatic Bolt is the main attack skill of the build. Main SkillsPrismatic Embermages have a strict base build, but they have a lot of free points for interesting additions and the class offers a lot of interesting addition! While embermages are all about offense with one very strong mobility skill, they have a very wide variety of that offense.
