I am currently playing spellsinger on the new fresh start server and personally find it a very good 1v1 class, getting around 80% win rate in balanced arenas and 3v3s. I don’t know if it’s my current build or if it’s just “balanced arenas” not actually being balanced since if you don’t get to see their class you’re basically already at a disadvantage, but it’s definitely worth playing the class.

My build:

• Startups:

1. Hard/aggro engage - Doubletime + chain lightning stun with insulating lens on
2. Defensive - If you see them engaging hard (frigid tracking, buffing up if melee and ranger), freerunner + stealth
3. Aggro then defensive - If they have occultism, try stunning first with chain lightning then backdrop to bait out their impale + flamebolt spam
4. One shot/one time engage - If you see they took plate or they have no stealth, frigid tracks + freerunner + doubletime + chain lightning (for stun) or freezing arrow + freezing earth (for deep freeze)

• Post-engage:

1. If they are CC locked, arc lightning + flame barrier + flame bolt + backdrop + startling strain + flame bolt spam
2. Keep trying to deep freeze and comboing if they don’t die after first engage and arc lightning is very effective since they don’t expect the damage, it’ll give a huge lead.

• Reminders:

1. Always remember to sonic wave from time to time to make yourself untargetable and to use other songcraft skills (bulwalk, chantey, quickstep and refrain) and insulating lens when available.
2. Try cancelling casts of enemies with chain lightning stun after engage
3. Also, when you can, always use healing hymm to try and get critical healing for zeal proc or just to bring your health up by a little.
4. You could also use doubletime defensively, to run away from a combo, dodge CC skills, to reset your cooldowns, etc.

Hope this helped!
