Lord Adoria´s Witchblade Guide

Our Mainstat will be cunning, of course. Since we need to put alot of points into the Soldier-Tree to have access to the Squad Tactics, we dont really need to put much into physique anyways. Depending on the gear you might wanna wear, of course! I´ ll show you my char so you can get an idea of the possible damage and all those other things:

Please imagine I am not wearing tons of kickass-gear. I am pretty sure the damage can get MUCH higher. I´m gonna keep on farming for items

Lets have a quick look at the calculator first:

Grim Calculator[grimcalc.com]

On the Occultist´s side we need Solael´s Witchfire and Second Rite maxed out for some nice Chaos and even Elemental Damage. (In this Build we dont focus on Elemental Damage so we dont need to get high Spirit)

On the Soldier´s side we need 1 Point in Field Command and of course max out Squad Tactics, since this is the ♥♥♥♥!

Later on I found Decorated Soldier to be very handy, so i spent the last Skill-Points into that one.

How to start? Simple! You just need to chose the Occultist as the first role and then start pumping your mastery points ( 5 in total ) to unlock our Main-Skill, called Solael´s Witchfire. This skill will give us a nice boost in Chaos Damage, while its Synergy, Second Rite, later adds even more Chaos Damage and Elemental Damage. At level 6 we should have maxed Solael´s Witchfire at a very early state and can now decide what to do next. I would recommend putting more points into the Mastery, so we can get our Synergy earlier.

Then just pump the stats into Cunning and - depending on your endgame-gear - add some Physique or Spirit - to fit those requirements.

Yay! We´ re level 10 now, guess what to do?
I won´t tell you.

Chose Soldier as 2nd Class of course ;) Grind your ass off, put all points into cunning again (and always!) Now you can decide what to do first. Put enough points into the Soldier-Tree so we can unlock Field Command - and more important - Squad Tactics earlier OR lets reach and max our Second Rite Skill on the Occultist´s side first. It doesn´t make a huge difference, so i leave it up to you what to do first.

I have chosen to max out Second Rite first, so at level 17 i was done with the Occultists´ Side of our build. Then I began to put points into the Soldier-Mastery, to reach Field Command asap.

At level 24 you should have reached Field Command, which needs only one Point, becaue we mainly focus on the Synergy - Squad Tactics - granting us a nice percental bonus to our Total Damage. Grind on (use Wardens Levels and just farmrun this easy boss till you get lvl 30.) Now at level 32 you should have everything you ever wanted maxed, or well ... not really, there is another nice to have skill! Its called Decorated Soldier and you find it on the Soldiers Tree. This nice skill grants us at max level the following nice boni:

- + 25% Physical Damage
- + 16 Pierce Resistance
- + 16 Elemental Resistance

Rocks your socks! :)

As for the items - it gets boring by now - go for IAS, + Offensive, + Cunning, + (Chaos)-Damage
