My version of the Magus : Elem/Shotgun Strike builds - Questing and Dungeon build

Heya!

After testing I've improved my Elemental/Shotgun strike build. You will find a build for questing, based on Penetration - Hindered synergy which is convenient for questing. The Dungeon build rely on heavy crits.


Questing - Hindered Strike

TSW Desc Builder : Elloa's Hindered Strike 2

My choice of passives : I wanted to take advantage of the hindered - penetration synergy. Beanbag Round increase the penetration on hindered targets, while Pinned Down hinder penetrated targets. Strike Force increase the penetration of all strike abilities. The other passives increase the damage of my active skills.

• Live Wire
  
• Elemental Precision
  
• Violent Strikes
  
• Beanbag Round
  
• Pinned Down
  
• Strike Force
  
• Highly Strung

My choices of spell :All my active skills but one are Elemental and beneficiate from Elemental Precision. All my active skills but my AOE are strikes and beneficiate from Violent Strikes

• Ignition (strike) : I use this to build my ressources
  
• Tor Hammer (strike) : Elemental Finisher (trigger Highly Strung)
  
• Ragging Bullet : Shotgun Finisher
  
• Flamme Strike (strike): I use this when Tor Hammer is on CD to consume completely my Elemental resource (trigger Highly Strung)
  
• Cold Wave: I use this to immobilise/hinder mobs. It's a bit situational, but use it a lot anyway
  
• Whiteout:This AOE is very devastating (elite ability)
  
• Turn the Table : self heal.

Rotation
