the wiz3 kino3 is outdated. all FF skills are now poison, which pretty much makes linker1 a requirement (if not more ranks). if you really like kino, it has a new surespell attribute at c3 which makes some variant of wiz1 kino3 link1 FF2 possible (yay physical link teleport). (rank2 can work well with pyro or cryo, both have advantages)
wiz3 does not fully multiply kundela slash⌠1+ (0.5quickcast) +1(cursed target)
wiz2 surespell is mainly useful for blood sucking. it may be possible to use link and suck through links howeverâŚ
runecaster is not yet opened up to use all skills as giant. it may be in the future. right now itâs just wiz3 stuff and other runes.
soâŚ
wiz2 link2 thaum2 FF2. probably the most effective âfarmerâ in the game, even moreso late than pyrolinkers. a great âfirstâ character, thaumaturge great if you are new and poor. the flat dmg buffs become bad and weak when you get trans gear and become rich. wiz2 could be possibly be replaced by pyro1, makes early game and boss killing much easier (link things to fireball).
wiz3 link2 rune FF2. extreme focus on high base damage skills with links. potentially the strongest PvP and TBL wizard. spiritual chain share quickcast with everyone. get shared guardian and snapshot defense for giant rune. this build will probably be boring until you hit Featherfoot, at which point it will be very strong. it also depends on future changes to runecaster giant mode. I hope you are good at wizard jump attacks.
pyro link3 rune FF2. like the above, with more options, and maybe even more damage. the catch? you donât have surespell, or quickcast (unless you jack it from a wizard in the party using spiritual chain). tricky pvm build. without quickcast ->runecaster, donât hope to do well in pvp and TBL.
