Build Guide

[S16 - 2.6.4] A Support speed Build

As explained in the item section thus build has some variations. Your roll is to Buff your allies/debuff monsters and scout/aggro ahead.

Skills:

Disintegrate - Intensify is meant to be a Star Pacts sidekick. Chain Reaction keeps you alive while burning enemies for the 6% crit chance of Conflagration passive. Bone Chill makes them suffer! even more with the Cold Blooded passive. Keep your slow time up at all time to guarantee the 30% DR and the 10% attack speed (for all allies inside your bubbles). Illusionist passive and Chain Reaction help resetting its CD so you can have multiple bubbles up. Teleporting forth and back will spread bubbles and let you apply debuffs to more enemies. Astral Presence lets you TP more often. Ice armor with Halo of Arlyse procs your APD's and applies the Bone Chill debuff.

Rune choices

Disintegrate: Take Convergence or even Ray of Frost - Snow Blast if there's no Star Pact mage around
EB: Each explosion procs Delsere's (2) piece so Chain Reaction can be a full reset of Slow Time. WoW and Zodiac can be fun here OR disturbing and offer less team buffs. With Disintegrate - Convergence you can try WoW and Short Fuse.
Storm Armor: Cristallize negates some damage. If you dont need that try Ice Reflect - throwing out the Halo of Arlyse opens up for an extra Jewelry slot but lowers the Bone Chill procs.
Teleport: Safe Passage's DR (6 sec) is the same as having APD's and stunning 3 enemies with Calamity (1 sec) but Calamity can keep up your Gogok of Swiftness and proc your Zodiac (so the 25 Arcane Power are finally worth something). If you run out of Arcane Power try the Wormhole rune (does not stack with Cosmic Strand)

Passives: Illusionist is optional as long as you have the Aether on you. Unwavering Will is a good defense choice here. For Gem Up's consider Unstable Anomaly.
