with this patch Is Riding + morph + 3 sec boss skill spam strong enough to be used the entire dungeon?
If you have the SP pots, why not?
Because itās awful and far worse DPS than having Templeshooter auto attack, and you nuke with him. It is also going to result in you taking far more damage.
There is no summon in the game that is better than just having Templeshooter auto attack, and having him use his skill when itās up.
Yep, nothing is stronger than TS currently, but he didnāt say he wants top dps. Maybe, there are skills that cover a wider area and monster count, TS for some reason canāt hit more than 6 monsters with basic attacks.
And that will still be far better than any other summon in damage output. There are a couple that can hit more than 6, but there are only two places in the game that would be useful: earth tower and uphill defense. In both places, the mobs are far too tanky to use anything but templeshooterās DPS alongside your own.
Yes, you can ride a summon and spam its skill, but itās pointless. The damage over time is awful on all of them, you give your own damage output away, and you take more damage, while consuming more potions.
This is fact. Any belief otherwise is a fantasy. Until Sorcerer gets changed, this is how it is.
Not considering damage, mummyghast aoe knockdown has 3s cooldown, so you can perma-knock stuff away, if someone ever find uses in it.
Nothing beats Templeshooter 2nd button and basic attacks, this is already said in this thread several times.
Your second statement is the only answer he needed.
Yes, you can knockdown stuff with Mummyghast, but that is not useful in a dungeon run, like he asked (nor is it āstrongā, itās cc). Itās very niche and may be used in some comp of Earth Tower on certain floors or in Uphill, some time, some day.
yep I was really really interested in starting a sorc c3 alt after reading about the 3-sec cd Riding skills. In my imagination I would spam pots, ride a giant devil and dps through the entire dungeon on it. And also swap riding between ts, chapparition, etc every dungeon run.
But since just letting TS do its own thing is better dps Iāll go back to my necro linker. Cheers for the advice.
tomb lord AA looks good to use in Uphill
yeah, so any r8 suggestions for a cryo3>sorc2>warl ??
Sorry for noob question since I barely started Sorc C2 but whatās up with all these 3s CD skill spam? Evertime I used TS skills, it has like a 20-30sec CD for its skills.
Warlock C2 or Sage are the only real options. Thatās gonna be your choice, not ours.
The majority of summons have 1 skill that is only on a 3 second cooldown. For Templeshooter, that is his arrow shot into the air. Others are on a cooldown around 30 seconds (sometimes higher or lower).
correct me if Iām wrong but I think sage is better if you decide to go sorc c1/c3 (based on my current info) on the other hand warlock c2 is better for c2 because of the dark attribute thing.
Meh, after all the recent nerfs if sage doesnāt bring a lot of dps or other utilities with c2-3ā¦it will be in a quite bad spot imo.
All the cloning potential it had in the past is gone and the DPS he can do is really low compared to a warlock2. In the end, imo, itā still better to go warlock2ā¦with all the aoe it have and the monster souls mechanic it really helps with the general weakness of summon classes towards grinding mobs etc. Plus dark theurge, mastema and PoA are definitedly strong for bosses anyway. You can even absorb souls too now, which would power up even more the sorc AA (even if it seems bugged for now ? not sureā¦didnāt see any dps increase in some videos. think itās probably a bug)
what does AA stand for ?
He is probably refering to basic attacks. I know Auto-Attacks(AA) were a common term used in league of legends to basic attacks because the default behavior is attack something in range if you are idle.
Warlock c2 got this āDrainā skill which shoudl fire the absorbed souls on your next basic attack.
So warlock c2 it is
and in a off-topic question: how to fire ice shards from ice walls ?
- Use C with staff or dagger to physically hit it
- Gust from cryomancer
- Psych Pressure from Psychokino
- Melee members in your party( the best are probably cataphract with rush or doppelsoeldner with cyclone)
Ride Nerf (Rank 8 Update) - Facepalm
So they had confirm this is not a bug?
