The Fang of the Winter Dragon is a great weapon for this Build. However, Critical Chance is also nice to have because it increases the damage of your water spells, so look for that as well. The weapon that Glacial Guardians use is not overly important, and they are best served by using one that provides the same benefits as listed above, as they won’t be attacking with it. Wits or Initiative are also good, so take them as well if you can’t get these first two. You’ll look for equipment with Summoning and Hydrosophist on it, in order to increase your totem, Incarnate and water spell damage. Place points in Memory as needed.Īrmour-wise you’ll want to use a mix of Intelligence and Strength-based Armour in order to get a good mix of Physical and Magical Armour. You’ll also need a few points into Constitution in order to meet the requirements for Shield, and probably a couple into Strength to be able to use Strength-based Armour. Because you will be using the Glass Cannon Talent, you cannot afford to go second, or you may not get a turn. Glacial Guardian Attributes and EquipmentĪs far as Attributes go, you’ll be dumping most of them into Intelligence to increase your damage with water spells, but you’ll also need a few points into Wits to help you go first in combat. Flesh Sacrifice while good, lowers your Constitution (un-equipping your Shield), so Elf is not recommended.īy beginning as a Conjurer you’ll gain a wand and shield. Race is not overly important with this Build, but Human is probably the best here because of Encourage. This will allow you to summon water totems from the very beginning of the game, but you’ll want to pick up the Incarnate as soon as you can. Then remove Dimensional Bolt and Conjure Incarnate and select Hail Strike and Rain. Then remove the point from Leadership and place it into Hydrosophist. The best way to start this Build is by picking the Conjurer Class, removing the points from Constitution and placing them into Intelligence. Water Damage makes targets Wet if they have no Magic Armour, which will Freeze Chilled enemies, or allow them to be Frozen much more easily. By adding Summoning to a Tidalist sort of Build, not only is this obstacle resolved, but Totems summoned on water or ice will hit for Water Damage. And, although several Hydrosophist Skills hit with multiple projectiles preventing this issue, often they run out of Skills to use.

One of the problems that water mages can have, is that they have to set: (Chilled + Chilled) OR (Chilled + Wet) in order to Freeze enemies.

The Glacial Guardian uses a mix of Hydrosophist and Summoning Skills in order to control the battlefield in which they are fighting.
