Hi guys,
i am just curious because i haven’t really found any concrete info about the Earth Tower nor i have played in the CBT.
but i do see a lot of people asking builds for Earth Tower, does it really need to have a special build for Earth Tower?
Can’t i just build any class i like with any circle i like and still be good for Earth Tower?
What kind of Mode is this that it requires such a custom build?
Thank you
You can build whatever.
But in Earth Tower 280 Elite mobs, will spawn in masses.
You will get trough it easyer if you have crowdcontrol (peltasta etc.).
So some builds just shine there better, then others.
Just play it when it comes in. And … don’t go in when you hit 260, red monsters are bad… bad…
theres just a handfull of classes that seems to be in the top, mostly cause of their large AoEs, and no other dungeon really require such massive AoEs.
Some of these are Cryo c3 - Chrono c3, Peltasta c3, Wiz c3 - Elementalist c3 - Warlock, from what i hear those are the top tier for Earth Tower right now.
And with the change to Psyko i could see some good builds for that for Earth Tower
You can choose which class you really want, either its for the costumes, utility, cc’s, and so much more
But people in higher end tier raids are getting picky, do you want a tank that cant taunt (use SB)? A cleric that cant heal, buff or at least help you survive?
That’s why most parties are only choosing which best unless IMC adds or nerf certain class which will make your build crumble and turn it into dust. Dont forget about class synergies too, some class skills are not able or cant be use by the other, and oh… dont forget teamwork as well.
Always do research, helps you to save time and effort
Well… Good luck and have fun 
i am planning to play a Diev, and was hoping that Diev can also be bought into Earth Tower with a group, just hoping it would be a useful class also ( of course it depends on how good you play the class as well )
but i know some class, even how good you are with it, will not be picked because of the skills that people don’t seem to need,
i hope IMC really2 balance all classes so that people doesn’t have to be forced to play the class that they dont like just because that class is useful,
let us play the class we like, at the same time, also needed by others
so what’s better for partying in earth tower, peltesta c3 + squire c3 or peltesta c2 hop c3 dragoon c1?
Matk Diev builds that use a rod and Owl statues should be outstanding.
A Diev just for the CD reduction with Paladin Barrier would also be pretty decent.
You spend a lot of time in one place. Mobs come in packs so the statues actually shine here. I know some floors have very high block which can be hard on DPS archers. And there is a floor with mobs that use reversi and steal barriers and healing tiles but nothing about a floor with mobs that use demolish so I think you’re in the green. And if you’re doing C3 I doubt the tank would be angry about 18-22sec safety wall effect when he’s kiting a lot anyway.
Don’t forget that there’s hidden gems.
Punji Stake
Multishot+circling
Cartar Stroke +Circling
Necromancer+Trauma+Cryo as tank DPSler that can survive stuff and goes wild.
Psycho actually would work well too, but you will need a safetywall or trauma built for extra con.
There’s lots of way to bring in that dps. Easiest way is wiz classes for aoe spamming on low cd. Or Archers with right builds, not doing QS3 AA stuff helps there xD…
Like lethargy 1 giving 100% strike bonus… which everyone trends to forget.
Pel 1 is already great.
Pel 2 give you some more block, which might help. If your priest cant keep up stoneskin forever.
Pel 3 adds some damage to older skills and some questionable skills xd.
I do hope indeed that all classes have something to bring and be good at in the game but diffrent classes being better suited for certain places/things is what makes picking a class fun if any and all classes can do what all the other classes can do it will just be boring so i am in for class balance but not for all the classes being a carbon copy
Is corsair any good for earth tower?
No. Totaly useless.
You just get a bonus atk on kiling mobs fast… and you kill mobs fast there…
Wait?
ahhh I see, I thought it increased drop rate as well?
There’s no drops in earth tower. Nor exp.
It’s an instance dungeon to get rewards for clearing floor. Not an easy farm area.
Did you guys see the floor 6 vid yet?
Come on forum, stop eating youtube vids: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5YeY1N_bNY
That sheer amount of magic damage is going to be very annoying.
I call Pardoner!
^^
But there’s ways to get past the magic dps.
Multiple too.
Counter Spell.
Barrier.
Pardoners Magic Def buff.
Revive on Tank.
Roderlero.
You might need to have a strategy for it xD.
Not just blind max dps with one tank.
tank lost 60k life in 2 seconds?
i’m done
It’s only a magic atk of 4k.
Don’t get scared already xD.
If they would have used gigant rune, umbical cord or many other skills.
He could have tanked that easily with his face. For a time.
Problem was, they were build for damage…
And normal autos arent blocked by barrier if theyre ranged.
Guess why … people use pavise or cc spamm.
xD
The team composition was 1 tank, 2 wiz, 2 clerics.
They lacked any means to tank ranged damage, outside of skill.
Specially ranged magic.
–
Now watchign it third time.
I see how they could have managed that.
Pull aggro, move outside of theyre atk range.
Let wiz do the job while kiting them with the tank.
They mainly spammed aa only.
Seems like it is mandatory for full tanks to have Rodelero’s Slithering (magic evade). That tank was going for Squire instead
