The following list has the best Active Skills for the Wand and Tome, along with the best Specialization effects to maximize DPS.
8Fountain of Life
Great Late Game AoE Healing
TheFountain of LifeActive Skill acts as an awesome tool for healers in the late game, by creating a 3m radius area and recovering health every half second, making ituseful for Co-Op Dungeonsand some PvE events.
Its recovery is based on a percentage of health lost plus an additional sum, which increases with every upgrade. The most useful Specialization effect to unlock isRange, which expands the 3m area of effect to 5m.
7Time for Punishment
Lowering Resistance And Applying Weaken: Curse
Time for Punishmentis a great skill for prepping massive damage. It decreases the target’s Skill Damage Resistance for 9 seconds and has a 90% chance to apply Weaken: Curse, which makes wand skills involving curse damage deal even more damage. It is essential to apply thisbeforeusing Karmic Haze to spread its effectsto more enemies.
Since Time for Punishment is potent on its own, and its duration lasts long enough to spread, there are no necessary Specialization skills to adapt.
6Swift Healing
Restoring Health In Quick Bursts
Swift Healingis an important skill for survivability. Its quick heal is useful for leveling up and tackling solo scenarios. Swift Healing restores an instant chunk of health on the user or an ally and can be used up to two times in a row.
The best Specialization effects to have areRangeandHeal Transfer. Range increases the distance of reaching a target, and Heal Transfer additionally heals self by half the total heal, making thisa vital skill in Co-Op situations.
5Curse Explosion
Exploding AoE Based On Status Effects
Curse Explosionremains a consistent skill in the Wand and Tome rotation. It deals AoE damage and increases any remaining status effect over time by 5% for every 1 of the user’s Touch of Despair stacks, dealing that damage twice and removing the effects. Curse Explosion’s only downside is its long cooldown and removal of effects.
TheDark Explosion Specializationwill keep the damage over time effects instead of removing them, and when paired withAdditional Damage Boostincreases Touch of Despair’s damage by 10% per stack.This combination is essentialin maintaining DPS, crowds of mobs won’t stand a chance.
4Cursed Nightmare
Slowing Movement Speed And Inflicting Sleep
Cursed Nightmarebecomes very useful once players build their characters past level 20. Cursed Nightmare has an 80% chance to decrease the target’s movement and attack speed by 30% and applies Weaken: Sleep. Opponents that fall asleep cannot attack for 6 seconds (monsters for about 15 seconds). The first attack on sleeping targets lands a Critical Hit and wakes them.
The best Specializations areDeep Sleepwhich removes sleep after two attacks instead of one, andEnhanced Nightmarewhich guarantees instant sleep unless the target is affected by move speed decreases. Cursed Nightmare is perfect forcontrolling mobs and pivotal in PvP.
3Karmic Haze
Increasing Curse Chance Through Spreading
Karmic Hazeenters the rotation by providing a useful way to exponentially increase DPS. Karmic Haze weakens the victim of the user’s Curse to grant 80% of spreading the effect to nearby targets within a 5m radius.
Due to Karmic Haze’s long cooldown, this Skill finds its best use toward the end of the rotation to spread DoT across multiple enemies. The best Specialization isRangefor increasing the spread distance from 5m to 7m.
2Touch of Despair
Main Method Of Consistent Damage
Touch of Despairhas a short cooldown, which makes it astaple of any Wand build.It inflicts Weaken: Curse, which deals a percentage of base damage on top of damage over time for 9 seconds. For every stack of Touch of Despair applied on the target, Basic Attack damage increases by 10% up to three times.
The debuff duration extends by 2 seconds for every time Touch of Despair is applied to a target with 3 stacks. This skill does not wake Sleeping targets, so it works well in combination with Cursed Nightmare. The only beneficial Specialization effect isEffect Duration, which increases the base duration by 3 seconds.
1Corrupted Magic Circle
Massive Curse Damage With Decaying Touch
Corrupted Magic Circlebegins as a destructive tool with a long cooldown but heavy AoE punch. It creates a 5m area at a target location and inflicts Weaken: Curse on all enemies within the area, dealing a percentage of base damage on top of damage over time for 9 seconds. This skill does not wake up Sleeping targets, so in combination with Cursed Nightmare, Touch of Despair, and Karmic Haze, Wand users will be unstoppable.
The best Specialization effect is changing this skill into Decaying Touch.At the expense of AoE damage, Decaying Touch applies Weaken: Curse to a single target and deals 20% more damage than Corrupted Magic Circle would, making this animpressive skill for Solo leveling, Co-Op Dungeons, and PvP.
