Skill Gems & Passive Tree

Skill Gems

Skill Breakdown

Explosive Trap

• Explosive Trap - your primary skill which lays a Trap that explodes with a series of smaller explosions that can overlap with enough reduction in Area of Effect.
• Empower Support - major damage boost through the addition of Levels to the Main active Skill Gem.
• Awakened Added Fire Damage Support - adds Physical as Extra Fire Damage and an additional Level to Physical Skill Gems once it reaches Level 5.
• Anomalous Concentrated Effect Support - substantial more Damage boost while also reducing the Area of Effect of your Trap allowing additional overlaps
• Swift Assembly Support - provides a massive damage boost by causing an average of .6 additional Traps to be thrown.
• Anomalous Trap and Mine Damage Support - provides a boost in Damage while the alternate quality reduces the cost of Traps.

Auras

Core Auras

• Herald of Ash - provides Physical as extra Fire damage and boost the damage of Fire Spells.
• Grace - scales your Evasion Rating to prevent Attacks from landing.
• Determination - scales our physical damage reduction and Molten Shell shield value.
• Enlighten Support - linked to all core auras to make them reserve less Mana.
• Summon Skitterbots - Shock and Chill nearby enemies and provides More Trap and Mine damage.

Secondary Auras

• Defiance Banner - provides increased Armour and Evasion Rating.
• Zealotry - provides More Damage and increased Critical Strike Chance to Spells. This is linked to Divine Blessing Support which causes it to be temporary, but at a flat cost instead of a reservation.

Utility

Mobility

• Flame Dash - is a movement spell that causes the player to teleport to a target location. It is essential for mobility and dodging attacks.
• Shield Charge - a movement ability that causes the player to charge towards the cursor. This scales off of your Attack Speed and Movement Speed so it is linked with Faster Attacks Support.

Defence

• Cast when Damage Taken Support - automatically triggers the primary skill gem when taking a hit. Lower levels of Cast When Damage Taken require less damage to trigger (Use Level 1 for this build).
• Anomalous Molten Shell - provides an immense absorption shield based on your armour for a short duration. Molten Shell will trigger when taking damage to grant you mitigation when you need it most (Use level 10 and the Anomalous Quality for this build).

Offence

• Elemental Weakness - is a Curse that reduces enemies Elemental Resistances. Link this with Cursed Ground Support to allow instant application to bosses.
• Wave of Conviction - an easy way to apply Exposure to enemies, reducing their Fire or Lightning Resistances based on the highest damage portion of this ability.
• Bear Trap - provides 25% more damage with Hits against enemies affected by this Trap.
