Early starter guide. The game is in alpha and every school only has a handful of spells so far. Builds get a lot wider later, the plan is Diablo 2 style variety with gear and pages pushing you different ways.

Starting spells


  • Sunlance. Cheap fast spear of light that goes through the first thing it hits. Your main attack
  • The Dawn Cut. Burning arc in front of you. Shadow-born take double
  • Dawnflare. Pillar of sunlight on a spot you pick. Big hit on a 5 second cooldown

Pages worth finding next


Halo of Ra in groups. Radiant Shield if you play alone. Glimmer to get out of trouble.

Buffs


Radiance closes small wounds for everyone near you and shows anyone hiding close by. Dawn Ward goes on whoever is tanking.

Gear


Anything with +Sun skills or sun damage. Eye of Noon and Staff of the Rising Sun are the uniques to watch for. Aether goes fast early so carry Aether Draughts.

Everyone also gets Mending, a heal with a few charges that slowly fill. Use it.

Add Judgment once you find it. Hold it on a boss and walk the column with them. Best single target I have found.

Sun Stealth in PvP is rude. Nobody expects the shiny guy to vanish.
Darklighter since the first alpha build
