First time using forums, so sorry if my format is odd.
I currently have a 28-point Drow level 16 wizard, no TR, who is strongly archmage. I recently respecced him from fire specialist to kineticist/illusionist. I have maxed out kinetic damage, 5 of the critical chance, and 5 of the critical damage. I am also currently using superior potency VI I have Evocation focus and Greater Evocation focus on me. I have the magic missiles, invisibility, blur, displacement, phantasmal killer, arcane bolt, and arcane bolt spell-like abilities (SLA) purchased. As a result, I only have 1100 spell points without Archmagi effects. I have and use Quickened, Extend, Maximized, and Empowered for free on my SLAs.
-I like the slow spell-point use of this build. I use 100-300 spell points on buffs, depending on quests, then I use the rest on Displacement renewal and spell-like abilities, along with force missiles, with a couple maximized/empowered cyclonic blasts and disintegrates. Spell costs: MM- 2. ABo- 2. ABl- 6. Force missiles- 8. PK- 10.
-Surprisingly, I usually get double the kills of the other slayers in the group, including other arcanes. Most of this comes from spamming quickened (nonheightened) phantasmal killer every 6 seconds with a 90% kill rate, but I also get a large number of from my SLA arcane blast, SLA arcane bolt, SLA MM, and force missiles. My phantasmal killer has a DC of 30 without buffs, items, heightening, or misc. My arcane bolt and blast average 120 damage, >300 on crits. My SLA MM and force missiles hit for 23 average with 60s average crits.
-I get annoyed by the pretty long recharge; Should I get chain missiles so I can get another 8-second recharge SLA?
-Should I get heightened now or at level 20?
-If my PK DC is high enough, should I keep it as a SLA at higher levels?
-Is the cyclonic blast SLA more or less valuable than my PK SLA?
-I never use any level 7+ offensive spells, what should I use in those slots?
-Has anyone ever tried something like this before?
Again, first time using the forums, so thats why this post might be awkward.
I would love any feedback you have for this build, whether its the weirdest thing you have heard of or something interesting with potential.
