In this link it says ’’Aquamancer’s Training Aquamancer’s Training – If running Arcane variant.’’

The thing is, there are only arcane variants listed.

Air, Water, Arcane
and
Air, Fire, Arcane.

Which is this non-arcane variant?
What am I overlooking?
I am curious to what would be the non-arcane variant.

the fresh air builds on metabattle are bad and random anyway… the best fresh air build atm is air/earth/arcane with s/f. it gives you the best mix of survivability and damage.

Could you link how that build would look like with traits and utilities?

Arcane variants implies using 1 or 2 arcane skills instead of cantrips.

some traits are preference, like superspeed on air instead of more ferocity. if you go with vamp runes you don’t need the arcane shield at 25%, if you go with other runes take that trait.

blood sigil can be swapped out for energy, might be smart after the vigour nerf.

Would going signet of air instead of arcane shield be fine too?
In the written in stone version?

Signet of air.
Its a 20 second cooldown stun breaker with written in stone trait
It gives a blind on the target when you use it.
You have 25% movement speed passively in all attunements with written in stone trait.
Deals 296 dmg.
Long 1200 range.

Vs.

Arcane shield.
A 75 second cooldown stun breaker.
Blocks 3 attacks within 5 sec and if that happens, explodes for 887 dmg.
Always crits.
Melee range.

Thanks for clearing that up.

you can but i wouldn’t. arcane shield is very important against thieves.
