The Arcanist

Every Arcanist has

The core kit, whichever Path you take.

• 
  Fireball

  Stand and hurl a ball of fire: it bursts over the target and the tiles around it and leaves them Burning. Burn + Chill: Steamburst. Burn + Shock: Flare.

• 
  Rime Shard

  Flick a shard of ice on the move: it Chills the target (slowed), and your next bolt comes at once and Chills everything around the target. Chill + Burn: Steamburst. Chill + Shock: Rimelock.

• 
  Leaping Arc

  Stand and loose lightning that leaps between up to five enemies, Shocking each. Shock + Chill: Rimelock. Shock + Burn: Flare.

• 
  Element Marks and Aether Ward Passive

  Your spells mark enemies with Burn, Chill (slowed 30%) or Shock for 4s. A second, different mark sets off a reaction: Burn + Chill Steamburst (a burst around the target), Chill + Shock Rimelock (frozen 1.5s), Shock + Burn Flare (thrown back); once you walk a Path they hit far harder. Aether Ward: a shield of 20% of your health that refills once you go 4s without a hit; every reaction heals you 1%.

Three Paths to choose between

Each Path adds three spells and a passive of its own. You can change it later at a trainer.

Pyromancy

Damage

The turret. Paint with Fire, spark with Frost: Steamburst rolls through every Burning enemy. No teleport - you kite on foot.

• Kiln Breath
• Molten Rift
• Cinderstar

Kindling Cascade Your Steamburst sprays Chill on every enemy within 2 tiles: each one that was Burning bursts in turn. Fireball's burst grows to 2 tiles, and your fire spells deal 10% more damage.

Cryomancy

Damage

The control Path. Paint with Frost, spark with Storm: Rimelock jumps through everything Chilled, and the frozen shatter.

• Glacier Spear
• Rime Step
• Whiteout

Hoarfrost Your Rimelock sprays Shock on every enemy within 2 tiles: each one that was Chilled locks in turn. A frozen enemy that dies shatters and Chills everything within 2 tiles. Aether Ward holds 30% of your health.

Arcane

Damage

The blink caster. Paint with Storm, spark with Fire: Flare throws back every Shocked enemy near the one you set off. Glass Step through them, and never stand still for long.

• Glass Step
• Chord Lance
• Reprise

Overtone Your auto-attack bolts Shock what they hit. Your Flare sprays Burn on every enemy within 2 tiles: each one that was Shocked Flares in turn and is thrown back. Your arcane spells deal 10% more damage.

Knacks, small extras any Arcanist can pick: Saltglass Shell, Mana Surge, Twin Mark.
