w3? I think wiz2 is better for your damage output with linker1!
Since you have tried wiz2>kino3>link>FF2 before, can I confirm some stuff?
After blood curse, can kino skills be used? Mainly psychic pressure and gravity pole to heal back my hp?
Iâm now pretty low level (18x) so I canât really test to know if pyro3 or kino3 skills work better at higher level.
My main idea of kino3+FF2 is using JP+HK+FF skills to kill mobs, while using PP + GP from kino3 as filler skills. Occasionally using blood curse when I find the opportunity to.
Yea, i tried wiz3ele3ff2 and i didnât really enjoy it either, i really missed the burst aspect and short-cc aspect of link1. Of course there are lots of viable builds for FF, even without linker. The build i posted (wiz2link1ele3ff2) is just the one i enjoy the most.
That being said, of course my build isnât without its flaws either. Magic Missile for example is something that can be really useful and sometimes i miss it. And yea, if there are no monsters to suck hp from it can become really bothersome.
My grinding rotation is usually done in multiple stages :
- fly -> find group of monsters -> link -> blood curse + aoe for healing up again
- fly around for as long a possible and attack with ele stuff
- when my fly time runs out i run around, link+slash mobs or do other aoes
- when my fly skill becomes ready again, look for a group i can absorb hp from -> absorb hp until full hp, kill the group, activate flying and go back to step 1.
Unless the map has absolutely no monsters to blood suck hp from or the map has a stupidly high amount of archer monsters this was usually very comfortable to grind with.
About you trying to mix linker with Kino 3 : I donât really see how linker is effective with Kino, kino is a class that relies on doing many small hits, so links will break quite quickly before having shared alot of damage. Linker shines most with high damage burst skills, like Meteor, Kundela slash, Blood Curse, etc.

Iâve saw your replys and once I get home Iâll aswer. If anyone knows how to record a gameplay with steam please teach me haahha I think itâll be good to show a few things too.
I plan on testing w2/linker1/ele3/ff2 out 2morrow. I hear that physical link works correctly now?
Physical link does work properly now, but itâs near useless still. It breaks easily when players are too far from each other, and it has a useless attribute. Also, if you think about it, the skill itself has a flawed design.
Letâs say person A and person B are linked together. Sure, they each take half damage from everything, but theyâre also two separate targets, which means on average they are both taking double the amount of hits.
The only real use physical link would have is if you have only one person (or 2 I guess if you have more people linked) taking dmg while everyone else somehow does not get hit.
I never said you needed quick cast for blood sucking.
Frost pillar just groups the mobs in. I do not think it works very well with blood sucking.
Press F12 to start recording, press F12 again to stop recording.
Youâll find your recorded videos in your ToS release/avicapture folder
If that key does not work, you can change/set it in the options menu -> key settings -> system menu -> ârecord videoâ.
You can Gravity Pole while levitating, but not Psychic Pressure - you can cancel Levitating and then use PP, yes.
The damage dealed by GP is not enogh to totally heal you btw. Or itâll do enogh but not fully recover you. When I used do do it, MY damege wasnât enogh; I was without the attribute that gives more 6 sec (belive that are 6sec) so maybe itâl fully recover you with that. Or just use one of itâs CCs, cancel Levitating and kill mobs with whatever you have.
as long youâre happy with your build, then it`s enogh for me
this was perfect hahaha Itâs exactly what needed to picture the build working ^^
Yep, that sucked hahah I belive I did say something about that but in the end link was only used to kill a few mobs with Kundela and stuff. I was able to kill 3 ppl on pvp once heh - link+blood curse (but then they killed me the other 3 times âââ).
In the end Linker doesnât work with Kino skills yes, but Kino works with FF wich works with Linker - Like when you use eletrecute, Hail or frost could, you would kind of miss use the skill sinse they are too multy hit skills - even thoght these deal way more damage what might make the combo kind of work, but not so good as a Meteor, Kundela or Blood Curse.
Another thing, itâs only one Liker cicle. Itâll be extremelly situational - youâll have to calculate when and with what skills to use you know? In any build.
@Sayurichan found weird 3 sec videos hhaha thanks. Once I have time Iâll do it and post it here.
I tried FF with the meme farm build and grew really fond of it, wanted to use it for PvE on a useful level. Then someone recommended Wiz2 Ele3 FF2 and I really really loved it.
Sometimes I kinda miss transpose but using it then replenishing HP all over again for Blood Curse and then getting rid of it was hell of a job for a bit more of dmg, now I can leave levitation on lv5, use it and immediately Blood Curse (maybe time for a Link) and stay on levitate for the whole time using Ele skills cuz by the end of the buff I almost always can sneak up ANOTHER Blood Curse.
But, I donât miss wiz3 at all, I just skip Meteor and can distribute points on now better and usable skills like Prominence. Using frost cloud is just a godsend to replenish HP after Blood Curse. Now Iâm able to both clear pretty fast dg290 rooms and still be #1 on boss with not even grinding equips. I can just imagine how good this build can get and scale well into late game. Recommend it to anyone that wants to use a FF and a fun a build.
I tried that build today too and it is fun. It is a pure dps build. I assume you went Link 1 for Rank 3?
So many skills to allocate though. I did questing earlier and encountered a couple âAnti-FFâ maps(mainly plant/zombie enemies and/or link resistant ones)and while having the Ele skills help, I still struggled a bit due to a lack of healing from FFâs specialty, having to rely on barely effective potions.
So blood curse debuff healing is based on damage? Like Blood Sucking?
When an enemy has your blood curse debuff on it and you damage it in any way, regardless which skill, you will recover hp from the damage you did to them. Iâm not sure how the recovered hp is calculated but In my case using Frost Cloud on enemies after Blood Curse usually heals me back up to full health in a few seconds, if not faster.
Also, i think it always works on enemies regardless of their race (plant,demon, whatever)âŚ

yesssss thatâs exactly what I wanted to say at any moment - The righ and constant damage dealed by elementalistâs skills kind of gives you âNon death stateâ because youâll be just constantly healed untill the debuff ends. I normally just stay flying there spaming skills and watching the mOBS DIE MUHAHAHAHA
plus that - it works like you said too, yes. Like, you get mobs âcloseâ reciveing some damage, levitate, use frost cloud or hail and then Blood Curse ( I do it in this orther so Imedialty after haveing 80% of HP toked away, Iâm isntantly healed) - Iâll try to show it on a future video.
As you said 80% I assume you have the 80% attribute thingy. Does it increases the damage? Or just debuff duration?
I remember only reading about increasing just the debuffâs duration, but sinse the skill itself doensât have a attribute to level 'till lv100, Iâll duble check in a minute.
Yeah, my summoned familiars (sorcâs bats) insta heal me to full after blood curse too. I was confused Sr.Raposo said that GP doesnât totally heal you because I was under impression it healed depending on number of hits, not damage.
After 2hours waiting it uploaded e.eâ
Itâs not that big of a deal but even with medium gear Iâm able to stay alive, heal and kill ok. And die to that freaking giant mobs too âŚ
I preffer to first use a ground or whatever itâs called then use Blood Curse, so I get ââinstahealedââ. Guess that itâs the part that is more relevant here 
Can anyone confirm this?
If GP cannot heal me to full, my next idea was to cancel levitate and raise>PP to heal. Although ele3 skills seem great to heal me back to full, Iâm not that keen in making another ele3 since it is already my main. Or would pyro3 skills work better while levitating???
Using joint penalty and then energy bolt also full heals me too. Not really sure how blood curse heal is calculated.
