I was playing around with other builds for a few months but have come back to arcane, which is where I started.

Just curious about weapon preferences or suggestions for arcane builds.

I’ve played around with a few options but am currently rocking the Occult Giant Crusher & Reduvia dagger, Dragon Communion Seal and the ever present longbow.

    I’ve tried a number of different weapons for my (un-optimized, PVE only) arcane build but I keep coming back to Elonara’s poleblade as the most fun. The double-handed move set feels fantastic, it applies bleed well, the Ash of War can initiate and then make space by retriggering. And the charged R2 is so damn satisfying. Throw in Flame Grant Me Strength and maybe a dragon incantation or two and it’s a very versatile setup- at least for PVE.

      Cheers, will give it a, literal, spin.

      I only play pve and am over leveled so not really concerned about optimizations.

    I personally love the flameberge and the raptor talons. As you can infuse them occult and still get that sweet bleed proc hehe

      Thanks, I’m a fan of the occult raptor talons too but haven’t tried the flamberge, will give it a spin. Do you have a preferred AoW for it?

    The ripple axe that the Albanaurics use. It scales natively with arcane and you can apply grease to it so it can proc effects really fast.
