Super Tanky Caster (Summoner) Build
« on: 18 October 2018, 02:31:42 »
Hello,

This is my new build, a super tanky caster (summoner):
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1484695249

A short snippet:

Introduction
This is a guide on a strength-based, tanky caster (summoner: Earth + Nature) build. My goal is to build a super tanky caster and I had a lot of fun playing this class.

Why Nature and Earth for a super tanky caster build:
  • Nature provides Heart of Oak skill tree which provides 85% health increase and 31% elemental resistance
  • Nature has Plague, one the best debuffs in the game
  • Earth has strong spells that do physical damages (Eruption and Volcanic Orb) which can be boosted by Strength and +% Physical damage, which means we can use Hale gears (+% Health and +% Strength) and other Strength-based gears that makes the character more tanky
  • Earth has skills that boost physical damages, and Nature has Wolves which can boost physical damage that works well with the above Earth spells

Pros:
  • Super tanky: easily get 20k+ HP and good resistances while having a very good debuff
  • Very good AoE

Cons:
  • Not the fastest boss killer

Looks interesting... out of curiosity, can I have a look at the gear of yours?

Among other things, I was wondering how high was your DA in the late stages.

lol i just wrote my mage summoner just recently

https://titanquestfans.net/index.php?topic=695.0

but mine is more balanced for offense and survivability.. yours look like super focused on tankiness.. hard to get 80% CDR for that without sacrificing something
i are TQ titans

@WNG: my gears are nothing special, here are what I was using in Act 5 Legendary:

Head: Hallowed green. Relic: Amun-Ra
https://www.tq-db.net/equipment/incarnation-of-amun-ras-glory
Rings: Hale x2. Relic: Dionysus
https://www.tq-db.net/equipment/incarnation-of-dionysus-wineskin
Weapon: Hector's Spear
https://www.tq-db.net/equipment/hectors-spear
Shield: Crest of Taurus
https://www.tq-db.net/equipment/crest-of-taurus
Chest: Armor of the Phantom
https://www.tq-db.net/equipment/armor-of-the-phantom
Arms: Stonebinder's Cuffs (with Amun-Ra relic)
https://www.tq-db.net/equipment/stonebinders-cuffs-legendary
Artifact: Symbol of the Polymath
https://www.tq-db.net/equipment/symbol-of-the-polymath
Amulet: Myrmidon's Pendant
https://www.tq-db.net/equipment/myrmidons-pendant
Leg: Athena's battle greaves
https://www.tq-db.net/equipment/athenas-battle-greaves

My DA is just 600 - 700, but I don't find it a problem for survivability, given very high HP and Plague debuff.

@botebote77: interesting build of yours :) yeah I didn't build a summoner specifically, I wanted to build a super tanky caster and this summoner build is what I found most tanky.
