A representative recorded combination and alternatives from the same-patch ranked sample.
Adoption uses the same-patch class sample, with one highest-tier run per player. Explore the selected skills and the equipment options to compare before a swap.
The initial burst deals 20% less damage and throws three bomblets at surrounding monsters for 45% each. This spreads the attack beyond the first target.
Up to 12 smaller meteors fall, one per monster, each dealing 62% damage. Use the shower to distribute hits across a group.
Alongside skill bonuses and cast rate, check which elements gain damage or enemy-resistance reduction. When replacing a two-handed staff with an orb, include the shield’s options in the comparison.
