I'll try to make a vid of my hell bishop run:)

:D you are one amazing selena ;o

Yea, the exploding mushroom can be slowed with the ice wind thingy..

However, some1 else tested that it can't be slowed with Force user's Slow Area :(

Can you also share how to you handle the punisher binding at stage 4?

I think it would be very helpful for others who wanna try to solo it...

Is this a your build for soloing bishop only or is this your main pve build?

Reply 8#  175.*.*.23

That is my main pve build; Although it does fine in hell bishop, I'd rate the build 4/10 for soloing H Bishop...mainly because I don't have the SA from the flame/freezing shield.

Here's my previous Hell bishop build:  this was before the SP changes.  499/500 SP used.
    * lv6 both shields (I highly recommend the duration +30% crests)
    * +20%dmg Crests on FB, flame spark, (Flame vortex, and inferno) OR (flame+freezing shield  30%duration).

Looks good..gonna try out your build. New to EL and ppl always say u have to lvl poison missile till lvl 12. What do u think about that?

yeah the number of poison shots increases from 2 to 3 @lvl 12
I would like to know too

Before the poison nerf, the skill was THE BEST DPS skill for mages. Every1 maxed their poison.  I think they've gotten so used to the 3clouds that you still see ppl recommend the 3 cloud poison.... but things are different now.  For us elelords --in terms of damage -- the poison skill is currently useless, even when maxed at lv16.
-In pvp it is recommended to get poison(lv12) to keep your opponent lying helpless on the floor.
-For PVE, I think lv1 is best. You can even consider dropping poison (I've tired this and it works)
-Its mainly used to break objects -- like the the pillars in bishop nest -- and for this purpose lv1 (2clouds) will suffice.
-In keeping mobs away from you, most mobs at lv50 now have high SA.  So having 2 or 3 clouds doesn't make much diff.  Use the poison(lv1) in combination with ice stab(lv1) to protect yourself from mobs.
-If SP is spent on getting poison to lv12, you will have to lower Glacial spike and this is not good for seleana.
(Your main skill is Fireball, and u'd want to maximize the chance of doubling your dmg by freezing your target twice with GS and GW.)

Same here. I just bought a skill reset scroll cause I've added a lot of lvls to poison missile. So I'm really curious as to whether poison missile is worth it.

yeah, better leave it @1 then

Wow thank you for the timely response. Heh I play DN Sea and I spent so much for the poison crest and still had to buy skill reset. Heart pain. But now I can remove my poison crest without worry. By the way, I see that you've slotted flame spark, fireball and flame road crest? What should my 4th Crest be? Glacial wave duration? Also now our lvl cap is 24, so first two crest I should slot should be fireball and? Sorry so many questions.

i just want a super damage output pve build, so is it advisable that i follow your build above?, in the first page.

Hi,

i want to make a char who is able to dish out large amounts of dmg and clear dungeons the fastest. if possible, solo. is it advisable to go with Seleana? are they the highest dmg output class in this game?

with those requirements would it be great to follow your build, or are they other builds with focuses on bringing out the most dmg and fastest pve?


thanks.

-Currently I have FB, flame spark, flame road, and flame vortex.
With the change in the ice's durability, I plan on replacing the flame vortex crest with a GW duration crest.
-I'd recommend these crests at lv24 and 32cap:  1.FB, 2.Ice stab, 3.Flame road.

NOTE to all: Your fire ele's build at lv24, 32, and 40 cap is going to be a lot different than my lv50 Seleana build.
Q. Why?
A. Because the skill growth rate is lower for lv40 and below, and increases greatly after lv40. And another reason is the lack of SP at low lvl.
-until lv40 (and especially until the new changes are implemented) Hybrid ele is highly recommended for PVE.
-until the changes..Boost your Crit stat as high as possible (with crest 3rd option CRIT--I'll probably make a general guide on Ele lord stat later) and try to get 9 to 10k at lv40.
Here's a very stable lv40 PVE build. Good until the new changes are implemented (btw sucks at PVP)
-I had a build similar to this and was able to solo hell apo at 40cap.

-Ignition and Icyfraction used to break SA.
-Ice Stab Your main skill.
-Fireball (lv1). Maxing Fireball may not be worth all the SP. (maxing it makes a big diff in dmg, but is much weaker compared to the increase in dmg a Seleana would be getting from the added 40% dmg from Fireball Ex w/passive burning hand explosion. --this difference is huge,, its like having the skill ice sword lv12  versus Ice sword Ex lv12... huge difference!--Therefore, I found it more efficient to spend the SP on ice skills, which are spammable and very powerful at lv40 cap.)
-use flame spark to delay/ or cause burn on an isolated target (e.g. the one your fire bird missed,) and chain it to ignition.
-get a crest for FB, Flame road, Ice stab, and (anything for 4th slot. chilling mist or flame vortex are good options).

Build for fire ele lv38+ AFTER the new changes are implemented.
follow my seleana build.  Stack your element%  You will still want to aim for 10k natural crit at lv50.

-learn the fire crit passive skill.
-max flame spark,
-max fire ball.  Max the skill now, because more Crit is expected=more dmg than the non critting ICE skills.
-inferno lv7
-learn fire ulti,
-glacial wave lv6
-keep frost wind at lv1 (use it to add -20%ice resist)
-Firebird keep at lv1 for now, and use it to cause ''burn'' on enemy.
-Left over SP?...save them, and as you level add them to FB, Flame spark, GW, Fire bird, ignition, and finally frost wind.
-Recommended crests are Flame road, Flame spark, FB, and GW.

Reply 16#  115.*.*.105

you can consider dropping all the skills in the main ice tree.
-get frost wind lv1
-max glacial wave
-max fire bird
-max inferno
-max flame road
-max fire ball
-max flame spark
-lv1 iginiton
-fire ulti
-max seleana skills

This way you'll see lots of crit!
-an example of a combo on a single target:
      frost wind+GS+GW+spark+bird+FB+flame+spark+ignition.

If you like to nest with parties this build is nice..in order to solo with this build, you will need very good gears and also good player skill.
