Basics


This is still a WIP, and the info in here has yet to be fully tested, but I believe this will be a good build for both PvP and PvE. Any input is welcome, and although I was already building this style, CUPCAKEY's [GUIDE] ★ Daggerspell ★ GOD MODE ★ 1v3/PvP/PvE did play an influance on the end build.

Strengths


You have good burst damage at your disposal
Can handling multiple targets at the same time
Can AoE nuke from stealth vs Zergs/Multiple players
Can hold Melees at distance
Lots of Crowd Control at your disposal - stun, sleep, fear, slow, knockdown, silence, root

Weaknesses


Can take a while to get used to the many combos
Takes practise to learn when to use certain spells
Fairly long cast times
Can be very squishy
Can be Mana intensive

Leveling


This is how I plan on leveling this build. If you follow along, you will have to reset the WitchCraft and Sorcery at LVL 50, but I feel that sitting on skill points for to long will hold you back.
If you wish not to reset the skills, you can keep the Sorcery swap of
for
,the WitchCraft swap of
for
, and not pick up
and save the point till you can get one of the other skills.

Ok so for your first few levels, I would start out with Sorcery, and get both skills ASAP.
When you hit LVL 5 pick up WitchCraft and also get both of its low level skills ASAP.
You will hold onto your next few points till LVL 10, when you pick up ShadowPlay, and then get all three's LVL 10 skills.
Should look like this:Level 10
At this point your Skill Chains should look something like this:

  • Buff
    -

  • Short
    -
    ->

  • Long
    -
    ->
    ->
    ->


    • Ok, so now we have some of the basics out of the way, you will be picking up skill in pairs for the most part form here on out at 5 level intervals.
    At LVL 15 you should get
    and
    , and at LVL 20 get
    and
    . At LVL 25 you will grab
    and
    .
    With thes new skill we can do a few more combos and tricks.
    Should look like this:Level 25

  • Buff
    -
    &

  • Short
    -
    ->

    -
    ->

  • AoE
    -
    ->


    • Now at LVL 30, we open up into PvP zones, so we need to grab
    and
    for the extra survivability. Then at LVL 35 we can get
    and
    for more damage and CC. At LVL 40 we will grab
    and
    for a few new combos.
    Should look like this:LVL 40

  • Long
    -
    ->
    ->

    -
    ->
    ->


    • We only have a few levels left to go. So at LVL 43 yo will wan to grab
    . It can be used any where you have been using
    , as well as going well with our AoE combo. At LVL 45 yo will want to get
    , it can be a helpful and combos with
    . Finally, at LVL 48, you will want to take
    or
    , whatever one you think will most help.
    Should look like this:LVL 48


  • -

    ->
    ->



    • The final combos will be up after you get to LVL 50 and reset. All the combos you learned along the way though are still useful as they still exist in the final form or have a spell swap that can fit in the combo. So now on to the more complete combo list.

    Skills


    There is a lot of Comboing Skills you have with this build, and it will take a while to learn them all and when to use each. Here are a few to try and practice with.
