Ghostlore – Easy Geomancy Build Guide

Invoering

Geomancy is a physical spell from the Geomancer class that creates a wave of spikes along the ground, hitting enemies multiple times and inflicting heavy damage. This guide will detail how to create a powerful earth mage character that can tackle all content.

Powers

Pick Geomancer as your starting class, Exorcist as your lvl 15 class, and Sentinel as your lvl 30 class. It is very important to link Geomancy with -100% cooldown duration supports, so that it has a cooldown of 0 seconden. The supports are highlighted in green. You can achieve this with 5 -20% cooldown supports from Geomancer, of 4 -20% supports from Geomancer and two -10% cooldown supports from Sentinel. Dan, link as many Skill Multiplier supports to Geomancy as you can.

Link your minions with Additional Minions and Minion Health multipliers, as well as one Trigger on Kill support so you don’t have to manually cast them. Minions in this build are used purely for support, not damage. They heal you, trigger your curses, and tank for you.

Eindelijk, link Exorcise to Trigger on Minion Hit and to the Hex class bonus (voor +20% curse strength). Exorcise greatly lowers enemy defenses, thus increasing your dps.

The remaining supports in the middle square of the Power grid are purely there to activate Class Bonuses and do not impact the power of the build otherwise.

Class Bonuses

You get a Class Bonus for every 4 points you spend from a class in the Power grid. Feedback Loop is the highest priority bonus to get, as it gives you effectively infinite MP, letting you spam Geomancy. Hex and Near Death Experience are other good bonuses from the Exorcist class. The Sentinel class has amazing bonuses as well. with Warden of the Forest and Survival Instincts making you very tanky, and Sharpshooter and Marksmanship greatly increasing your damage. The bonuses from Geomancer are unfortunately near-useless for this build as we do not deal much elemental damage due to Geomancy being a physical spell, so you can pick whichever bonuses from Geomancer you want.

Voedsel

Food gives permanent stat bonuses to your character, and it is extremely important to have 6 meals active at all times! I would recommend eating Kueh Lapis 3 of 4 times for the movement speed bonus, and then fill the remaining slots with Additional Damage, Crit Chance, Cast Speed, or Item Find. The food shop only offers 6 menu items at a time, so if Kueh Lapis isn’t there then just complete a zone and check again. You can farm the ingredients required to make food by clicking on sparkling objects in the world, or by buying them from a food vendor who appears at the start of a zone from time to time. The bonuses received from eating food are random. If you receive a bad bonus, like for instance only 5% movement speed, then you can click the X button on the food item and try again!

Gliefen

Glyphs drop from enemies in the wild and offer large power bonuses. They are similar to the Diablo 2 charm system. I would recommend focusing on Skill Damage, HP, and Avoidance as your priority stats.

The best Compound Glyph for this build is Ilo. Echter, you can use other Compounds such as Nasin if they have good stats on them. The bonuses of Compound Glyphs are activated depending on the types of glyphs in them, so sometimes you might need to add a useless glyph to your grid to activate a Compound Glyph. For Ilo, you only need to activate the Crit Chance and Crit Damage components, don’t worry about the others. You can upgrade the rarity of a Compound Glyph at a blacksmith for a price, giving it more stats. Note that my current Glyph setup is not perfect, ideally you want the entire Glyph grid to be covered in Compound Glyphs.

Gear

Your most important stats on your weapon are Additional Damage, Crit Chance, Crit Multi, and Cast Speed in that order. Gems give a ton of Additional Damage so don’t forget to socket them! The base damage of your weapon does not impact your DPS.

For the rest of your gear, make sure you have enough Resistance to reach 75% (of 79% with the class bonus) in totaal 4 resistances. Dan, get Avoidance until you have 100% Vermijding, and as much HP as possible. Other stats like Skill Damage, Crit Chance, Cast Speed, or Item Find can also be useful but are lower priority than the defensive stats.

After beating the campaign, you unlock Hell Gate Island, an endless mode that drops Hell Ingots. You can use the ingots with the guard near the gate to reroll the stats on your gear. It is very easy to make strong gear with Hell Ingots!
