Rune dual reflection is a practice that involves interpreting and analyzing two different runes together to gain deeper insight and understanding. In runic divination, each rune carries its own meaning and symbolism, but when two runes are paired together, their energies and messages can be combined to create a more nuanced interpretation. The concept of rune dual reflection is based on the idea that two runes placed side by side can create a dynamic connection that enhances the overall meaning. This technique is commonly used by runic practitioners and diviners to explore complex situations, relationships, or aspects of one's life that require a deeper level of understanding. When practicing rune dual reflection, it is important to consider the individual meanings of each rune as well as the way they interact and influence each other. This can be done by analyzing the runes' shapes, positions, and the emotions or feelings they evoke.
This can be done by analyzing the runes' shapes, positions, and the emotions or feelings they evoke. For example, if the first rune drawn is Ansuz, which represents communication and divine inspiration, and the second rune drawn is Gebo, which symbolizes partnerships and balance, their combined interpretation might suggest successful collaboration and open lines of communication within a relationship or business partnership. However, it is crucial to remember that rune dual reflection is not a fixed or definitive method of interpretation.
Rune dual reflection
Contemplator - (Neidan/Dream)
Melee build that focuses on Damage Reflection and survivability.
- Enemies literally fall on their own.
- Doesn't need many skill points.
- Needs good gear to truly shine.
- Maintaining Aura of Tranquility is very Energy consuming.
- More of a passive playstyle, might be boring to some.
Neidan Mastery Skills:
Consequences (Max) + Mutual Suffering (Max eventually)
Your attacks have a chance to reduce the resistances of any enemy you attack. This stacks with other sources of Resistance Reduction. Mutual suffering adds a chance to spread the debuff to additional nearby enemies when an affected enemy dies. This will boost all of your damage by a sizeable amount. Max out the base skill, the Mutual Suffering upgrade is less of a priority once you have Spreading Influence.
Huangdi's Favor (1 pt or Max eventually) + Spreading Influence (Max)
Your LMB skill, used mainly to spread the Consequences debuff to multiple enemies and overall soften up targets so they die from Damage Reflect or the aura of your Terracotta Servants. It's enough to put just 1 point in the base skill, but max out the Spreading Influence upgrade.
Aura of Tranquility (Max) + Melded Armor (Max)
Aura of Tranquility gives you great Damage Absorption and additional resistances. Melded Armor gives you additional chance to avoid damage and most importantly Damage Reflection. This skill is obviously great. However, it's somewhat energy intensive to maintain, so stock up on Energy Potions. Max it out as soon as you can!
Inner Equilibrum (Max)
Gives you a ridiculous boost to Movement Speed, Attack Speed and Casting Speed so long as you aren't under the effects of a Health or Energy Potion. In practice, after you use a Health or Energy potion, you get a debuff for a few seconds that deactivates this skill. After that, it comes back at full strength, so you should have it up 90% of the time. Max it out!
Weakest Chakra (Max)
The way this powerful skill works is that it gives you a buff that enhances your attacks. Those will deal additional Vitality damage, reduce enemy damage and resistances for a short while and also petrify enemies for fraction of a second. It affects all allies in its radius, including any summons you might have like your Terracotta Servants. You will be able to affect multiple enemies at once with it by using Huangdi's Favor and Phantom Strike.
Terracotta Servants (10 pts or Max eventually) + Shatter (1 pt) + Forged By Fire (Max)
Terracotta Servants are permanent pets that fight for you until you either unsummon them or they run out of health. You will be able to summon a second one after rank 10 in the skill. There doesn't seem to be a way to get a third one even with 18 points in the skill through gear.
Max out the Forged By Fire upgrade to turn your servants into walking AoE fire damage, it will turn your summons into a great tool to soften up enemies for your Reflect damage. Raise the base skill to atleast rank 10 to get a second servant to double the aura damage and optionally max it out later. Your summons will be more useful to you alive, Shatter isn't really a priority.
Convergence (Max eventually)
Gives you a chance to gain the effects of one random rare potion for 30 seconds after using a Health or Energy potion. It's nice, but also entirely random what you are gonna get. Still, it's bound to be atleast somewhat useful no matter the effect. Put atleast 1 point here for +skill equip and eventually max it out.
Potent Potion (1 pt)
Honestly, the effect is kinda meh. Also, you can only have one instance of this effect on at one time, so you can't just drink both Health and Energy potions at once to double it. Put 1 point here just so it's affected by +skill equip and then forget about it.
Dream Mastery Skills:
Trance of Empathy (Max)
Lets you heal by dealing damage and most importantly is the greatest source of Damage Reflect among your skills. Essential for this build.
Phantom Strike (Max eventually) + Dream Stealer (Max)
Your RMB skill, deals great damage, provides some mobility and with the Dream Stealer upgrade also refills your energy bar and stuns enemies. Max out Dream Stealer before the base skill as it will provide a more significant benefit.
Lucid Dream (Max) + Premonition (Max) + Temporal Flux (Max)
A great set of passives to boost both your offensive and defensive abilities. Temporal Flux is the priority here for the Projectile Avoidance and Speed boosts, but you should max out all of them eventually.
Distortion Field (1 pt)
Passive chance to trigger a Damage Absorption effect for 15 seconds. However, the chance to trigger this is only 5% no matter the skill rank, so you can't really rely on this. Put 1 point here for +skill equip.
Distort Reality + Temporal Rift
If you ever feel overwhelmed by hordes of enemies, this skill will give you time to recover. One point is fine for that purpose.
Trance of Convalescence
Just like Trance of Wrath, Trance of Convalescence stacks nicely with Aura of Tranquility, this time providing great survivability. However, you can't use this and Trance of Empathy at the same time. If you are fighting a boss where the additional survivability will be more useful than the Damage Reflect from Trance of Empathy, simply just respec to this skill and back.
1 point in Strength, 1 point in Dexterity at each level up. Occasionally, you can put 1 point into Health instead of Strength or Dexterity.
After you get enough Strength to equip the legendary version of Icescale Armor (about 640), you can abandon Strength and invest primarily in Dexterity if you want to use a Spear instead of a Sword/Axe/Mace. Or put more points in Health if you want to be more durable and rely mostly on damage from Reflect. Or keep raising Stregth, your choice.
Don't put any points in Intelligence and Energy.
Use any kind of melee weapon with a shield in the off-hand. Preferably one with a fast attack speed to spread Consequences faster with Spreading Influence.
The Icescale monster infrequent set if the best choice for this build. It contains an Armor, Guards, Bracers and Helm. Each piece of the set gives you 15% chance to reflect 500% damage (at legendary) back to its source among its other stats, which is obviously fantastic for this build. You can farm it from Fjord Ichthians in Act 5, located in Kaupangr Outskirts and Ichthian Fjord.
Aside from this, the following gear stats will be the most useful for this build:
Chance to Dodge Attacks/Avoid Projectiles
+Skill equip (particularly to boost Trance of Empathy/Aura of Tranquility)
Recharge Reduction, so that you are able to use Weakest Chakra and Phantom Strike more often.
Additional notes:
Energy Regeneration is optional in case you struggle to maintain Aura of Tranquility.
Damage Retaliation only applies to melee attacks from enemies with a set amount of damage, so it's nowhere near as useful as Damage Reflection.
Отредактировано Eltar; 26 мар в 4:37 25 мар в 12:18Disruptor - (Rogue/Neidan)
Ranged build focusing on Poison/Bleed damage.
- Good AoE damage.
- Very energy intensive.
- Somewhat weak against the undead.
Rogue Mastery Skills:
Envenom Weapon (Max) + Nightshade (Max) + Toxin Distillation (Max) + Mandrake (Max)
Your first buff, grants your attacks a great Poison DOT. Max out the base skill as well as all of its upgrades. It will provide the bulk of your damage as well as some debuffs.
Poison Gas Bomb (Max) + Shrapnel (1 pt or Max eventually) + Poison Mayhem (Max)
Your primary source of AoE damage. Uses casting speed, which you have more than enough of from Inner Equilibrum. Poison Mayhem turns this skill into a good AoE, Shrapnel adds some Bleed damage. Max out both the base skill and the Poison Mayhem upgrade, it's up to you if you want to max out the Shrapnel upgrade skill as well or not.
Lay Trap (Max) + Rapid Construction (Max) + Improved Firing Mechanism (Max)
A good source of AoE damage. Put it down in the middle of a large enemy group and watch the carnage. Benefits from Weakest Chakra, so it can stunlock enemies with Petrification and debuff them. You can summon up to 3 of these at once. Benefits from Pet boosting items, with some gear that adds Elemental damage to pets, you can turn this into an efficient way to clear out packs of undead. You really need to max out all of the upgrades and the base skill to get the most out of it.
Open Wound (1 pt)
Gives a chance for your attacks to inflict a Bleed DOT. It's not terrible, but there are better skills to raise. Put 1 point here for +skill equip.
Anatomy (1 pt)
Boosts Bleed damage. Put 1 point in it for +skill equip, that's all you need.
Disarm Traps (1 pt)
Constructs and Devices are highly resistant to Pierce, Poison and Bleed, so this will help you somewhat against them. Won't help you against undead though. Still, with Consequences and Weakest Chakra you can fight Constructs and Devices decently enough anyway, so it can be left at 1 point and boosted through +skill gear.
Blade Honing (1 pt)
The second buff you can have, increases the Piercing Damage Ratio of your weapon. Weapons with higher Pierce ratio gain greater benefit from this skill. Doesn't work with bows, but does work with Throwing weapons. Most of your damage will come from DOTs, but still, put one point in it for +skill items to boost it and keep it active.
Blade Barrier
This skill summons three stationary whirling traps around you that damage any enemy that walks through them at a rapid pace. The damage itself is mediocre and not really worth it. What makes this skill worth it however is that it applies any On Attack effects to the enemy each time it damages them.
This can be used in combination with the Neidan skill Weakest Chakra to stunlock enemies with Petrification. Especially potent if you have a high enough Recharge Reduction to have Weakest Chakra always available. But this is something you need some Recharge Reduction gear for.
Neidan Mastery Skills:
Huangdi's Favor (1 pt) + Spreading Influence (Max)
Your LMB skill, has a chance to Petrify enemies for a very short time. The upgrade Spreading Influence adds AoE damage to the skill, which allows you to spread your Poison/Bleed DOTs among all enemies in addition to the Consequences debuff and any special effects from your weapons. The base skill only really needs one point, the upgrade Spreading Influence that adds AoE to the skill is the truly important skill to put skill points in.
Consequences (Max) + Shared Suffering (Max eventually)
Your attacks have a chance to reduce the resistances of any enemy you attack. This stacks with other sources of Resistance Reduction. Mutual suffering adds a chance to spread the debuff to additional nearby enemies when an affected enemy dies. This will boost all of your damage by a sizeable amount. Max out the base skill, the Mutual Suffering upgrade is less of a priority.
Inner Equilibrum (Max)
Gives you a riduculous boost to Movement Speed, Attack Speed and Casting Speed so long as you aren't under the effects of a Health or Energy Potion. In practice, after you use a Health or Energy potion, you get a debuff for a few seconds that deactivates this skill. After that, it comes back at full strength, so you should have it up 90% of the time. The Cast Speed in particular benefits both the Smoke Cloud and Poison Gas Bomb skills. Max it out!
Aura of Tranquility (Max) + Melded Armor (Max eventually)
Aura of Tranquility gives you great Damage Absorption and additional resistances. Melded Armor gives you additional chance to avoid damage and also some Damage Reflection. This skill is obviously great. However, it's very energy intensive to maintain, so stock up on Energy Potions. Max out the base skill as soon as you can, Melded Armor can wait a bit.
Weakest Chakra (Max eventually)
The way this powerful skill works is that it gives you a buff that enhances your attacks. Those will deal additional Vitality damage, reduce enemy damage and resistances for a short while and also petrify enemies for fraction of a second. It affects all allies in its radius, including any summons you might have like your Traps and Terracotta Servants. Greatly benefits from Recharge Reduction gear. You will be able to affect multiple enemies at once with it by using Huangdi's Favor and Poison Gas Bomb.
Smoke Cloud (Max)
This skill will summon a cloud of smoke at the target area for a few seconds. Enemies inside the cloud have an 80% chance to be immobilized or stunned for 1 second and this effect applies itself repeatedly, so long as they remain inside the cloud. This skill is great, especially for a ranged build, but really needs to be maxed out to reach its potential. It's somewhat RNG dependant and also has a rather long cooldown, but it can shut down a large group of enemies for as long as it lasts.
Potent Potion (Max eventually)
Significantly boosts your Energy Regeneration rate after using a Health or Energy Potion among other things. Since this build is very energy dependent, this can help with that.
Convergence (1 pt or Max eventually)
Gives you a chance to gain the effects of one random rare potion for 30 seconds after using a Health or Energy potion. It's nice, but also entirely random what you are gonna get. Still, it's bound to be atleast somewhat useful no matter the effect. Put atleast 1 point here for +skill equip, you can eventually max it out if you have skill points to spare.
Terracotta Servant + Shatter + Forged By Fire
Terracotta Servants are permanent pets that fight for you until you either unsummon them or they run out of health. You will be able to summon a second one after rank 10 in the skill. There doesn't seem to be a way to get a third one even with 18 points in the skill through gear. They serve primarily as a useful distraction to draw the attacks of enemies.
If you want to get this skill, there's two options. For the first one, you can put 10 points in it to gain the ability to summon 2 Terracotta Servants and then max out Forged By Fire. This way, they do constant AoE Fire damage to anything nearby, which is especially useful against the undead and anything else resistant to your DOTs.
Alternatively put 1 point in the base skill and max out the Shatter skill. Whenever you want to, you can summon another Terracotta Servant to instantly trigger the Shatter effect on the previous one and use it as sort of a at-will AoE stun.
1 point in Dexterity, 1 Point in Strength during each level up. You may abandon Strength entirely in favor of Dexterity once you get it over 640 and thus are able to meet any Strength requirements for any items you might need.
Dexterity: Boosts Piercing, Poison and Bleed damage in addition to increasing your Offensive and Defensive ability, so it's your most important stat.
Strength: Your secondary stat, primarily raised to be able to equip better gear. Around 640 should be enough.
Intelligence: While energy regeneration is useful for this build, get it from gear instead.
Energy: While this build is very energy intensive, you are better off getting it from gear rather than investing attribute points in Energy.
Health: Your survivability will be good enough without any points in Health.
Use a throwing weapon with a shield in the off-hand. This way you can spread your DOTs from a distance without a chance to miss due to low OA score.
Aside from this, the following gear stats will be the most useful for this build:
Recharge Reduction, to use skills more often, especially Weakest Chakra, Smoke Cloud and Poison Gas Bomb.
+Energy and Energy Regeneration: This build is rather energy intensive, mainly due to Aura of Tranquility. Either stock up on energy potions or get some Energy and Energy Regeneration from gear.
Energy Cost Reduction: Won't help maintain Aura of Tranquility, but helps with the active skills.
+Rogue/All skills gear.
Poison/Bleed damage on hit.
+Pierce/Poison/Bleed damage increase.
+Attack Speed or Total Speed
If you ever feel overwhelmed by hordes of enemies, this skill will give you time to recover. One point is fine for that purpose.

Reviews for "Unlocking Hidden Knowledge with Rune Dual Reflection"
1) Chris - 2/5
I was really disappointed with "Rune dual reflection". The story was convoluted and hard to follow, with confusing jumps between past and present. The characters were poorly developed and lacked depth, making it hard to connect with them. The pacing was also off, with some parts dragging on while others felt rushed. Overall, I found the book difficult to enjoy and wouldn't recommend it to others.
2) Laura - 1/5
I can honestly say that "Rune dual reflection" is one of the worst books I've ever read. The writing was extremely mediocre, with clunky dialogue and awkward descriptions. The plot was predictable and lacked any originality. The main character was completely unlikable and made irrational decisions throughout the story. I couldn't wait for it to be over and would not recommend wasting your time on this book.
3) Mark - 2.5/5
"Rune dual reflection" had an interesting premise, but it fell short in execution. The world-building was confusing and inconsistent, making it difficult to understand the rules of the magic system. The pacing was also problematic, with long stretches of nothing happening, followed by sudden bursts of action. The ending left too many loose ends and unanswered questions, leaving me unsatisfied as a reader. Overall, the book had potential but failed to deliver on its promises.
