Where you put your points in the skill tree is the crucial part of your build for each class. I’m not Level 50 yet but I’ll guide you through the strongest skill up to that level which is where you can equip two active skills. Here’s the best skill tree for each class in Arcane Conquest.
Best Champion Skill Tree in Arcane Conquest

I like being flexible with my Champion with both the best DPS with Rune of Flames and good mobility with Dash. Rune of Flames is definitely a must-have on here but you can adjust the rest to your preference. For example, if you have 2 or more Paladins in your Party on Calamity and you’re confident in your dodges, go full Red and take Sorcerous Rage as your second active. Alternatively, make your secondary tree Green for full Defensive Training and take Daring Vault as your movement.

Best Shadowmancer Skill Tree in Arcane Conquest

For Shadowmancer we want all the DPS we can get except Thorns. Prepare to unleash your entire rotation/cycle each time Sorcerous Rage is up and this includes Rune of Flames. Focused Rage will help you crit. I put the extra points in Dash in case you want a safer option than going full damage with Rune of Flames. Make sure your damage spell is upgraded for damage (I) and your SG for cooldown. The Shield tree dip is only for Restorative Training to help with sustaining. That said, you can also ignore it and go full Dash.

Best Paladin Skill Tree in Arcane Conquest

When I play Paladin I like doubling down on the tank and support aspects so I focus on Mending Herbs and Herbal Aura with Thorns as secondary. This allows you to keep both yourself and your party extra healthy even on Calamity. You even have Sorcerous Rage for some extra DPS from time to time. If you prefer a more damage-oriented Paladin for soloing, go for full Thorns, Rune of Flames, and some points in Mending Herbs for Sustain.

Best Elementalist Skill Tree in Arcane Conquest

With an Elementalist it’s all about sustained damage cycles. Sorcerous Rage with Focused Rage is your cooldown to track where you go nova with spells and Rune of Flames. Make sure your spells are around 3.5 to 3.7 cooldown for optimal DPS which means you can’t go full cooldown and full damage upgrades so find a balance. It’s better to dodge damage on Calamity than tank it but the extra defenses and regen from Green helps out if you make mistakes. With this in mind, if you don’t want to get closer for RoF then go with Dash in Blue.
32 in Assault (Red) | 8 in Shield (Green) | 10 in Wind (Blue) |
Unending Resolve 6/6 Master of War 8/8 Sorcerous Rage 6/6 Rune of Thorns 2/10 Focused Rage 4/4 Rune of Flames 6/6 | Defensive Training 8/8 | Surefooted 10/10 |
Best Arcanist Skill Tree in Arcane Conquest
With an Arcanist it’s a similar situation as with the Elementalist except Sorcerous Rage is even more important for bursting down groups with your charged spells. Other than that if you don’t plan getting a bit closer for Rune of Flames then go with Dash instead in Blue. This means you can remove points from Thorns and RoF.
