Sorc 2 build is more consistent than the gimmicky thauma build
The new kTOS meta is to pick support classes for the lower ranks, since the new offensive skills for all rank 8 classes just simply overpower all dps skills from previous ranks. That means that Wiz 3 and imo at least Linker 2 are necessary. I personally went Linker 3 because its the most future proof. I also prefer linking 3 more targets to having level 5 Flesh Cannon, since presumably things like Kundela Slash will be at least as good as Flesh Cannon.
Edit: Damage calculation for Kundela Slash is as follows.
With quick cast
(skill attack value + magic attack) * 1.5 * attributes
With quick cast against a hexed enemy
(skill attack value + magic attack) * 1.5 * attributes + (skill attack value + magic attack) * attributes
In other words, the additional damage that applies to hexed enemies does not receive the multiplier from Quick Cast, so in total using the skill against a hexed enemy increases the damage by 66.66% with QC.

Meanwhile the koreans are raging about the animation which was literally copy-pasted from Blood Bath. Itās like they canāt be bothered with the class anymore lol. Anyway, it looks like weāre moving away from multi hit skills and into the era of single huge chunks of damage, which makes me wonder whether magic attack and elemental property attack are even relevant anymore. Might as well go full CON or something.
Was thinking about resetting to full CON as well. I will have to think about it when the patch arrives next month. They couldāve atleast made a slashing animation for kundela slash even without flashy effects.
Does bloodbath immobilize targets in pvp? What about linked bloodbath targets?
Is linker1 totally okay with FF
Bloodbath does not work in pvp. You can only stab them but they wonāt bleed. Link 1 is fine you kill most mobs nowadays with JP > HK > MM anyway. Pitch in Blood Bath if it still is not enough.
Nah I know bloodbath doesnāt make players bleed in pvp (Logic) but do they stop the players from moving? Or every hit stops them from moving?
Supposedly the new 10 day pets that alchemist make will be able to have joint penalty, as well as JP scrolls. The item that gives you the pet is tradeable so I suspect any FF will want a Homonculus.
@LittleTako Enemies that dont bleed from bloodbath also wont stop moving iirc.
So FF is completely useless in pvp? I canāt find a footage of league battle featherfoot pvping so I canāt be sure of anything
There are some pvp featherfoots, but im willing to bet itās mostly their base build being gimmicky (i.e. linker+magic missile). Featherfoots skills are easily interrupted and donāt really work well on players, levitate is also just going to get you wrecked by archers so the melee immunity is kind of meaningless.
If I were you iād consider a sage pvp build - sages missile wall is like 16 hits per 30 seconds now, still insane. Warlock 2 is also significantly better.
The only real usable skills there as featherfoot are blood sucking and bone pointing. My featherfoot build relies on the Sorc aspect to do well in pvp. Blood Sucking is a finisher move if you happen to catch anyone asleep. Usually I do. Sleep > Summon Familiar > QC > SS > Blood Sucking. If I canāt land sleep then I just kite with my temple shooter and familiars. Bone Pointing helps stop aggression - a lot avoid it. I guess they do not know what it does lol.
so should i go Wiz3 - Linker 2 - Thaum1 - FF2 since its more meta
@Ellyr I can relate to that pretty well, basically I only use Linker & Sorc skills during PVP to get any results x3 (No wiz2/3 for me tho ;w;)
@etirrn just replied a post at reddit that it may be yours (I guess? .-.), I like this combination because you can also use to farm some silver if you like, in the end choose what you prefer in terms of gameplay :3
I saw that but didnāt want to post it here because I donāt think the FF in that video accomplished anything that couldnāt already be accomplished with Wiz3 Linker lol.
1.Iām surprised to see that the damage of curse is shared n times through JP.
2.Why is she naked?
Because she is willfully dying over and over and does not need the extra magic attack to kill stuff.
Thatās actually a nice video. Thanks for sharing.
Guess Blood Curse is very strong with linked mobs. The vid creator is also full CON. Makes me want to stat reset now.
Any info as to how much HP can you leech back on monsters with blood curse status?
Guess whatās equally strong. Yes, Magic Missile, a rank 3 skill.
To be fair, no rank 8 wiz skill is this strong. The AoE damage isnāt that bad and it opens up a lot of rotations when JP > HK > MM is down. Iām thinking about Blood Curse > Blood Sucking > Flesh Cannon > Flesh Hoop. Now I am not just tied to the JP cooldown.
