I don’t see Alchemist fitting in any Wizard build that would either be good DPS or support. Considering you need to take multiple circles of it, it basically turns your char into money-making npc
I’ve tried Linker C3 and it’s good support, but. Only in party! You can hardly do anything without a party. With limited dungeon runs (5x lv50-90, then 2x 100+) and few party-grinding spots (demon prison 2) I decided it’s not worth it. Unless they nerf C1 Linker, one circle is totally enough. At the same time Linker C1 is an amazing choice, almost too good to skip.
Pyro C1 is too weak to be considered DPS later. Sorcerer, Chrono, Necro, Thaumaturge at C1 all suck (C2,C3 too imo, not worth the investment). Elementalist is so much better than any other rank4-6 class, but you must make it to C3. Having to be Elementalist C3 greatly limits the number of possible builds
You may disagree but after trying basically all of the classes in CBT2, I see 2 viable Wizard builds: C3 Wiz -> C3 Ele, Wiz->anything->linker->C3 Ele
