Creating Your First Build
Getting Started
Navigate to the Create New Build section to begin designing your character setup:
- Choose Your Weapon: Select your main weapon and unlock relevant spells and passives
- Select Armor: Pick helmet, chest, and boots that complement your playstyle
- Add Accessories: Include cape, bag, mount, potion and food to complete your loadout
- Import From the Game: Copy a loadout in game and use Import In-Game Loadout to fill in its items, spells and inventory
- Configure Spells: Set up your skill rotations and passive abilities
- Name and Tag: Give your build a descriptive name and add relevant tags
Recommending Legendary Traits
When you select an awakenable .4 main-hand weapon, its Legendary recommendation editor appears below the item:
- Add Trait Slots: Add up to three ordered recommendations and choose from traits compatible with that weapon
- Offer Alternatives: Add one optional alternative to each slot, with an independent target value
- Set Target Values: Use the slider or exact-value editor; previews use Excellent quality and +0 mastery Item Power, and an Item Power trait updates the other displayed values
- Manage Each Weapon: Primary and alternative weapons keep separate recommendations, while changing or removing a weapon clears its previous recommendations
Optimizing Your Build
Use these strategies to create effective builds:
- Synergy Focus: Choose gear and spells that work well together
- Purpose-Built: Design for specific content like Corrupted Dungeons, ZvZ, or Solo PvE
- IP Considerations: Balance item power with cost-effectiveness
- Escape Options: Always include mobility or defensive options
- Resource Management: Consider mana costs and cooldown management
