Shield Strike (Piercing Attack), Annihilating Slash, A Shot at Victory (Annihilation Blade), and Inferno Wave all deal area damage. On the other hand, Serial Fire Bombs, Chain Lightning, and Judgement Lightning can bounce to multiple targets thanks to their specializations.
Counter Barrier with the help from Aegis Shield and Stalwart Bastion provides some durability, especially while mobbing. Meanwhile, Strategic Rush with help from Morale Boost and High Focus allow for faster cooldowns.
Focus on leveling up Serial Fire Bombs, Inferno Wave, and Chain Lightning first since they serve as the build's main mobbing skills. The rest can be prioritized based on preference.
Resilient Mind, Aegis Shield, Impenetrable provide durability and survivability, especially when clearing waves. Mana Amp gives a nice amount of health and mana needed for the build while Asceticism grants mana regen.
Morale Boost is directly linked to Strategic Rush since it's the only active skill that can trigger the passive skill, allowing for faster cooldowns, especially while mobbing.
Manaball Eruption improves the build's damage output when attacking with the Staff and using projectile-based Staff skills while Forbidden Sanctuary gives Skill Damage Boost for even more damage and also decreases the mana cost of skills.
Focus on leveling up Resilient Mind, Impenetrable, Mana Amp, and Forbidden Sanctuary first to improve the build's mobbing pontential.
