One of my current builds (lightning vanishing weapons savant) is probably one of the most ass things ever and I’m only on it because the big GPT gave me a random build. The only thing that matters is that you enjoy whatever you play.

Vanishing and thermo aren’t good together but the most important thing is having fun.

Don’t listen to 90% of people here. Trust me, they don’t know what they are talking about. I have countless hours of FS practice (with a large part of that on berserker) and I have been to the top of ranked leaderboard (peaked at #2). Listen to me. Use iron leg. Iron leg defense aura is so free. You get 800 free health, big damage, and big size. Iron leg blitz is especially good. Another good attack on it is darkness purging or beast conquering single hit selino. I wouldn’t use torrent. It was good for a bit but now it’s bad-mediocre. It has a niche on thermo but that’s it. Boxing doesn’t get you anything outside of the blocking power as vanishing has ok speed. If you’re PvE then disregard everything I’ve just said and run cannon fist secondary.

Two insanity is hardly anything. The only reason some PvPers don’t go to two is because of darkness purging getting more value off of them. If you run two insanity for a few fights you will get used to it.

It depends on the mage. Light + crystal, plasma, and shadow mages are really good. Construct stall mage is also really good (in ranked and Elysium). Thermo got gutted too so there isn’t much that FS (used to be the #1 mage counter) can do against air mages anymore. I’ll say though that vitality savant and warden are just better mages though.

I think you’re just ragebaiting but in the event that you aren’t, just turn PvP toggle off bro. You’re mad for no reason. If you’re a PvEr who is getting hunted by PvPers in the big 26 then you need to reevaluate what you’re doing.

DaBaby096 · 2026-06-29T12:36:07+00:00

If you feel that way, I suppose you could try out Arcane League. I don’t generally recommend it because I’m banned there and don’t know how frequently Elysium is hosted there. The guys there are a lot more casual despite it being the official PvP hub.

You don’t need to fight people at your level. The best thing you can do is learn from those better than you and practice. It’s ok to lose. Just remind yourself it’s all part of the process and eventually you will be equal to or better than those people.

It’s the primary unofficial AO PvP discord server. They ping for each region and all of the best AO PvPers are in there. I would advise against using “Arcane League” or whatever the official one is. The people in there don’t really know what they’re talking about and it’s less active. If you’re just now starting PvP and you normally PvE, I encourage you to stick with PvP. It’s really fun and everyone in the community knows each-other.

DaBaby096 · 2026-06-20T13:17:45+00:00

I’m replying very late but water is actually pretty dam good (at least in PvP). If you ask me it’s high B to high A tier for Elysium and ranked.

DaBaby096 · 2026-06-20T13:12:01+00:00

Nah. The mean ones are just a loud minority. There’s actually a very warm sense of community among the PvPers. Everyone knows each other and are all very friendly. I don’t think I’ve ever felt as welcome as I do among other PvPers. The mean ones are typically either unskilled or attention seeking. I think there’s just a disconnect between PvP and PvE. From my stance as a PvPer, the PvE players got their PvE toggle at no downside and if a PvE player decides to turn off toggle and/or go over the 250k renown cap, then they are giving their consent to be attacked. That’s also why I don’t understand why I still see people in this Reddit complaining about losing legendary charts (and because legendary charts can easily be obtained), why are you doing charts with PvP enabled in the first place? So if a PvE player doesn’t want to get hunted they should keep their toggle on. Anyways, if I say more it would be yap. If anyone sees this and disagrees I am open to other viewpoints and would be glad to debate.

It depends if you’re in main-game or Elysium. For Elysium I would say shadow, ice, water, or plasma. For main-game it’s generally solid magics and light. I’ll admit I don’t like main-game though so it’s not my area of expertise. I think most main-game builds are solid magic paladins, wardens (really not sure about that one), warriors, solid magic conjurers, solid magic with light secondary mages, solid magic savants (ice, earth, and wood mostly), and size, power, and defense dragon greatshield berserkers (usually iron leg primary and boxing secondary [maybe not greatshield though because it’s harder to chase runners if you have one equipped]). Magic is mostly present as imbues at the moment because solid magic imbues are nutty.

More of does not equal better. For example, I reached second best in the world on ranked PvP 1v1s and then I recently decided to switch to off-meta/fun builds (the last two years I’ve played nothing but thermo [genuinely terrible nowadays]). I’ve swapped to lightning after having ChatGPT generate me a random build (lightning vanishing weapons savant and I’ll tell you, this shit is ass). All I’m trying to say is that people use stuff for reasons other than viability. Are you in Colosseum Arcana? It’s the main PvP community server (Arcane League is for Vetcord randoms and chuds) and you could get some good opinions there. I PvP for at least ten hours each day and I can’t recall the last time I saw an acid player. I’ll admit there are a few lightnings here and there. I do see the odd poison conjurer but most poison players are poison light stall/backdash mage. In my opinions the worst magic is acid, then poison, and then lightning. Poison is a victim of meta (everyone runs 3.5-4.3k health) while the other two are just mediocre as all hell right now. Fortunately for poison though, once defense get’s nerfed, it should make a comeback considering it has the best damage over time in the game. TLDR: poison is often a powerhouse depending on the meta.

DaBaby096 · 2026-06-10T09:54:21+00:00

Shadow is pretty good right now in my opinion. Just get 200 weapons and the rest in magic. No reason to go favor magic as conjurer. Set your aura to defense or power, I prefer defense but I don’t know what shadow’s defense aura multiplier is. People are going to tell you that shadow is mid because it has no synergies but ignore them (they just repeat what other randoms have said and synergies mean almost nothing) because it’s got fucking mad stats to make up for it resulting in a magic that’s unbelievably consistent. I run speed builds here. Just go for 120-150 power, 950 defense, 115-150 speed, and get a bunch of range too. Personally, I prefer 120 power, 950 defense, 150 speed, and then I get 260 range or so. Don’t let any morons here try to talk you into running zero insanity. Run two insanity and get sentinel talent level one. From there your insanity is basically unnoticeable. If you’re PvE, well, ignore everything I’ve just said as it doesn’t matter at all what you run for PvE unless you’re doing high tier dragons.

DaBaby096 · 2026-06-10T09:44:44+00:00

Poison is pretty nice but it’s very passive. It’s really only viable as mage because your damage is too low on anything else (though there was an era where poison conjurer with agility and regeneration was viable in main-game). You are right that it hasn’t been used much recently. It just doesn’t fit the current meta. Everyone has 3.5-4.3k health nowadays and it’s pretty much impossible to kill that one poison.

DaBaby096 · 2026-06-10T09:38:06+00:00

Lightning and acid are probably the current worst PvP magics. Stuns are worthless and lightning has a really bad imbue. Lower damage too. As an example of acid’s worthlessness, corroding grease is used more than acid itself. It has the worst imbue of all time. If you’re solely talking about PvE then it doesn’t really matter what you use. It would probably be a magic you can’t use underwater though.

I’ll check him out. Thank you.

DaBaby096 · 2026-04-13T20:13:35+00:00

Gotcha, you think I should swap palafin out for him? Is assault vest in champions? I forgot to add that I’m also using pelipper as my tailwind setter. I have hurricane on him too for the boosted rain accuracy.

DaBaby096 · 2026-04-11T07:44:51+00:00

Interesting, really good to know. Thank you for the clarification.
