BiS Gear
The Best in Slot (BiS) Legendary, Weapon and Relics for Elarion are shown below.
Best Elarion Relics
Relics are entirely utility focused in Fellowship and they mostly aren’t unique to specific heroes so it allows for a lot of change. While you can use any relic, there are a couple that are considerably notable and arguably the best of the bunch in a general sense.
S-Tier Relics
Sinbinding Stone - Grants 15% damage reduction to yourself and nearby allies for 15 seconds on a 3 minute cooldown. This Relic is extremely powerful, particularly on some of the harder bosses in the game.
A-Tier Relics
Grimoire Of Resurrection - A simple combat rez. It has a small cast time with a 5 minute cooldown. Great if your party lacks the ability to rez.
Ancient Wardstone - Instantly dispel all harmful magic effects from yourself and allies on a 2 minute cooldown. This can be extremely good in some dungeons depending on how you’re pulling.
Saltwash Elixir - Instantly heals you for 40% of your max hp on a 2 minute cooldown.
Ancient Poultry Fetish - Turns your target into a chicken. Permanently. This cannot be used on Bosses but there are pulls in dungeons where utilizing this Relic makes life so much easier. It has shared uses by the party on a 3 minute cooldown, so its value lessens with multiple users in the same party, alongside the fact there are much better relics on offer.
B-Tier Relics
Orb Of Shadows - Party wide invisibility for 15 seconds on a 6 minute cooldown. There aren’t too many notable uses of this but it can be strong if you plan around skipping packs with this.
Bloodrite Drums - A 12 second, 50% movespeed increase for you and your allies. It’s not great.
Humming Portalstone - Opens an interactable portal. You can only have 1 of these active at any time and there is a short cooldown on how often you can take the portal. It has a 2 minute cooldown. With co-ordinated play it could be useful but for most it’s not a great option.
Best Elarion Weapons
Elarion’s best in slot weapon is easily Asha's Chronoshift Bow. This weapon provides a massive 200% CDR on everything. It allows you to spend more time inside your CDs, more time with Starfall Volley active, more priority damage with Heartseeker Barrage, it’s just an all round beast of a weapon.
Best Elarion Legendary
Elarion’s best legendary is Master Astronomer's Sabatons (Boots). It increases the duration of your Starfall Volley by 2 seconds, and while Starfall Volley is active, its duration is extended by 0.5 seconds each time you cast Multishot.
This legendary enhances our AoE massively and in combination with Skystrider's Supremacy makes our Starfall Volley extremely powerful.
Stats
The Stat priority for Elarion is as follows:
- Item level / Agility
- Haste
- Expertise
- Crit
- Spirit
Item level is king in Fellowship as main stat has the greatest effect on your damage, healing and survivability.
Haste ticks every box on Elarion. It lowers your cast times, gives Heartseeker Barrage and Starfall Volley extra hits, and increases focus generation.
Expertise is a simple stat that increases our damage and healing.
Critical Strike simply provides the chance to double the damage of your abilities.
Spirit decreases the cooldown of your ultimate and gives you a chance to refund any focus spenders.
Gems
The gemming system in Fellowship is fairly unique. You can obtain powerful gems to attach to sockets in your gear, which can be fused together for upgrades at the cost of some currency.
I wouldn’t stress about min maxing this much early on as you won’t have much choice in regards to what gems you’re actually acquiring, and it’s much better to simply not reroll tier 1 gems and save your currency for higher tiers. Gems aren’t too important until around Paragon or higher.
An important thing to factor is your gears gem power. You obtain pieces of gear with gem power and want to prioritize socketing ones with more power attached. For example, Legendaries provide 100% gem power, whereas normal gear only provides 35%.
A simplification of gems:
- Topaz provides Haste
- Rubies provide main stat
- Diamonds provide all secondary stats
- Sapphires provide stats inside your ultimate
- Emeralds provide Expertise
- Amethysts provide Crit
When working with Tier 1 gems, I would prioritize the following:
Topaz > Ruby > Diamond> Amethyst > Emeralds > Sapphire
