[Guide] Soutji's guide to Sacrier

Sacrier shields should stack normally when you use earth spells, this means 2x rocky foot that gives 500 armor each will give a total of 1k armor.

However this is a bit different for armor from external sources or the speed bonus prevention. When you receive this kind of armor it will put itself under the sacriers own armor, which in turn means that sacrier armor will be depleted first then the armor from external sources will be hit. 

Armor from external sources usually goes away when the turn starts for the external source, which means if the armor you generated got depleted before the armor from the external source you will basically have no armor left.

Most likely, all the stats for my ALS builds are "out of combat" stats. But I noticed that the builds got an abnormal amount of water mastery which makes me believe its bugged or something, I will lool closer on it later tonight

1) Thats the standard for most classes
2) Yes, I keep my builds updated all the time

The new helm looks quite interesting, i will probably get it alongside with the new berserk breastplate.

Prolly not the right topic to get your point through, but i do get your sentiment.

Just fyi flame return has been balanced to be non increasable and blocks can reduced the dmg from it. Sacrier wouldnt be trash from another rework it will just be a matter of time on how to make the most out of the rework.

Most people that complain, complains from a 1v1 perspective. Apart from 1v1s i think sacrier is quite balanced. In 1v1 the only reason sacrier is so strong is because its a class whos power comes from taking dmg and when it comes from one source it will be easier to control how much dmg you take.

Hello! Yes the Relic rune "Guard up" works with sacriers bloodthirsty punishment. Im actually using one in my full tank build.

Hello! Lots of relic/epic runes fits for Sacrier so yes it can be hard to chose one. But if its mainly PVE activities that you're gonna do then I would suggest going with your own idea with the alteration II, Earth/fire got some sweet combos that alternates between elements when casting spells which will result in keeping the mastery gains "permanent". You could also try alteration I by switching between doing mono earth and mono fire turns feks.

Another idea would be to try relic rune of heartbreaking blood(more dmg while tanking), flame aura(generally more lock and conditional dmg) or guard up(less dmg from poisons and bloodthirsty punishment).

For epic runes positioning science is quite nice for that extra 50 res, but like you said its quite expensive. Steadfast would be nice to have if you want more dmg dealt when tanking. If you got crits then maybe meassured rune might be attractive too, sacriers get 20% block for free from tattoed blood which lets us use this rune quite easily. If you got uneven AP like feks 11 or 13 ap then herculian strength might be interesting 300 dodge and lock is quite nice to have, im using one in my tank build .

Surgical epic rune can also be used although its quite niche, this is because flame return heals from cling is affected by heals performed.

Also epic rune of brutality could work on sacrier, using this will let you use spiritual tempest, insanity, burning blood and colonnades with greater power. The -distance mastery can be negated by using transcendence passive since melee mastery = distance mastery, with the passive mobility you can push and pull multiple times. This rune fits earth/air dd builds .

Bottom line is I wont decide for you, but I trust that you'll find the perfect one within your price range. 

Thats completely viable aswell, but I personally like to deal dmg before hitting berserk. And even when using full on berserk items you will at most gain either less amount of masteries or equal amount or even just 100/200 more masteries. 

And lastly these are one of many builds and Im working on a full berserk build which focuses on the use of earth/fire so stay tuned!

Not sure if it is viable, but hey im in the making of a 6man sac squad. I think it will work nicely for most contents mostly due to sacriers adaptability.

Also 3 sacs with the exact same build might not work, so try building your sacrier into different roles, tank/dd/healer

You could try the milimoowolf for 20 res + 5% block. The crobak is also good or you could join a guild for the croum pet that gives 20 res + 3% crit, you can get this pet for kamas by joining a guild who got the pet unlocked.

Hello!

You could use that deck, but I'd suggest that you experient around with different spells to find which ones you like the best.

Hello! ALS stands for adjustable level system, sadly havent been able to update my builds yet, but they should be up to date

Hello! 

Mass charm can be good for that extra postioning since it doesnt require line of sight and with quite high base range, but it's not that good when in comparison with insanity and spiritual tempest. Insanity amd spiritual tempest doesn't have the long cooldown that mass charm got and the spells will also deal damage and can be combined with motion sickness for even more damage. 

I would say use mass charm if you're frequently using it, but Sacrier got two spells with the same effect with damage.

Having balanced masteries in two or three elements seems to be what everyone including myself are following. Having unbalanced masteries might be good, but just doing it for 1 spell might not be worth it. Air/earth sacriers should in my opinion focus on air and earth masteries, this is because you don't want to gimp your own damage(tank/positioner Sacrier can deal a suprising amount of damage through motion sickness).

For benchmark resistances at lvl 80 i would say around 65% and up.

Hope this answered your questions!

Hi!

I would say for level 140 relics you could try the Kel'dwa or the Harry boots. 

For full tank builds I would say Asse shield could be a good choice. 

 

Sram vs Sacrier is split in two parts lower levels  80 - 140 and higher levels 141+.

At lower levels you will be dodging the sram so that they will have a harder time to apply hemo thingy. Higher levels its more about not letting the sram get backstab, another thing to remember is to watch their weakpoint stacks, higher stacks means they will use one of their finishers which hurts alot, so make sure to use sanguine to mitigate the damage.

Sadida vs Sacrier is about how much damage can you deal to the ultra powerfull doll in one turn. If you can one turn it then the sadi would be a easy target, but if you can't do it then you will be dying a slow death.

Hello! Aww this warms my heart 

For relic and epic combination you should go for lucloak and indestructable boots.

the other gears can be varied alot, but you would want to focus on gears that give resistances to all the elements. For more HP I would go for gears from Kalis lair. 

Hello!

You can prioritise berserk mastery if you want to, it will mostly give you mediocre damage before you dip below 50% HP. Berserk mastery items will however give you more HP which will let you take more damage, this means you can easily use sacrifice to get to below 50% HP faster, do keep in mind that sacrifice requires you to communicating With your allies and knowing where your allies should position themselves.

Fire/earth is the safe way to go for berserker gameplay, the reason for this is that it synergises with being low HP which will give you more damage and more armor. Which in turn let you take more damage while being low HP, this will also help With using the spell punishment more since you can stay arpund 20% HP alot easier than normal.

Fire/air however is a riskier way to go but will give you more mobility and damage,  its important as a fire/air sacrier to know when you can take damage and when you cant take damage, and its important to be mindfull of your positioning since your survivability will depend on that and sanguine armor.

Hello!

With the new enchantment update it is somewhat more viable to go with crit, the reason for this is that even sacrier can reach 100% now with the right sublimations.

However at lower levels around 1 - 150 it might be viable to go all berserk due to crit being harder to attain from the gears.

My gears on this guide are outdated so following them might not work at all. 

Probably, the stated equipments have the "old" rune system. With the enchantment system, you probably can't have that many mastery at level 110.
