One of my completionists still needs a bladeforged life. 18 warlock/2 pally blast spammer should be viable enough.
The other one has iconics already tripled. I'm thinking melee, probably 3+ bard dip.

blast speed is a joke. only possible redemption this may have is shiradi (not using blasts) with 20% crit damage. Maybe some melee build with aura? IDK, seems shitty atm.

I always expected it would be, thus I was so concerned about abilities interacting with the aura.

I did not. I rolled a 12/6wiz/2fvs with acid pact. toggled chain blast on and compared it to spamming SLA MM, SLA CM, Spell MM, Spell CM. Stopped toying around with blast rather quickly after.

I didnt bother epic tring for arcane alacrity. Neither the spell cooldown twist. It was first life toon at lv 28. The blast is so slow that it cant properly be used with MM spam. It gives a charging animation every time you use it again after using anything else.
The spell critical damage is going to be good on hellball and ruin. energy bursts too if you can get dc high enough to not get evaded(which btw feels like every mob seems to have now).

No, I meant melee wolf.
Dance of Death, SWF, TWF, w/ Aura.
But yeah, that would probably be OP awesome if we could blast bite.

Character Copy is broken. They're going to try to get it working for the next Lamannia update.

Blast will be more DPS than missile spam in shiradi, because it has much higher base damage and attack rate (compared to casting speed at least). Yes, the lack of homing and slow blast velocity really sucks in groups when other people have aggro. If you solo a lot, you probably won't notice because all the mobs are coming at you, and mobs have zero strafing or dodge AI.

It doesn't, just like lantern ring doesn't. The pact acts like an additional proc. Interestingly, the aura does generate empyrean magic and therefore probably just rewards.
But a FvS splash isn't really worth it, since you're losing out on base damage, and it doesn't cost SP anyway.

How? Spamming missiles gets you more procs, faster procs, and 4 different missile spells are faster even on a wizard. 3 EBS vs. 5 MM, 5 CM, 5 SLA MM, 5 SLA CM. Takes about the same time to cast all 4 as it does to cast and hit with 3 EBS.

Really? Guess I'll need to figure out attack rate. My impression was that it was faster than casting.

I wanted to test that out initially and rolled your suggested 12loc/6wiz/2fvs. Didnt have abishai 3 pc. but that wasnt needed for speed comparisons. The 4 missile spells chained faster than 3 blasts. I hadnt tested all of the blasts yet, however. Only used chain blast.

true, and there are a few instances where having free spells would be huge, like raids. but just rewards from fvs splash gives a ridiculous amounts of sp anyway. And I dont think I would trade all the pros of MM spamming for blasts. not currently from what i tested at least. I'm sure the better builders and players than I out there will make something good eventually.

Chaining effect? Can't have 2 Shapes active at the same time so Chain turns off when you turn on Enervating Shadows.

Not true. The AI just has a toggle. Mob strafing is a perfect defense against auto-target.
