Arcane Torrent
If you crave lightning-fast combat and screen-filling bullet hell, Arcane Torrent is your premier build. Paired with a dedicated support in a Duo squad providing damage buffs and peel, you can unleash unmatched machine-gun sustained DPS.
1. Core Mechanics
This build completely trades high per-hit burst for extreme cast speed and animation canceling. Leveraging the "Arcane Charge" passive, every cast reduces your global cooldowns (GCD), creating a virtually seamless, nonstop rotation loop.
2. Skill Loadout
Primary Weapon: Astral Repeater Wand
Active Skills
- Skill 1: Arcane Missiles
- Usage: Primary DPS skill. Instant cast with zero channel time for rapid spamming.
- Skill 2: Mana Surge
- Usage: Burst cooldown granting infinite Mana and massive Cast Speed amplification for a brief window.
- Skill 3: Twisting Nether
- Usage: Small-radius vortex that clumps enemies together, maximizing Missiles' AoE overlap and focused fire.

4. Gameplay Tactics
Have your frontline partner hold aggro, then drop [Twisting Nether] to group mobs tightly. Pop [Mana Surge] and mash [Arcane Missiles] relentlessly. During the Mana Surge window, you possess the highest burst DPS in the game. Maintain strict positioning and kite constantly—you are a pure glass cannon.
[!TIP] Cast Speed has a hard cap! Once you reach the breakpoint cap, invest surplus stats into Critical Strike Chance and Critical Strike Damage.
