[Class] Official Magician Discussion (ask anything)

To start off, I am a veteran Magician player with both experience playing CBT1 and now a currently 110 level magician. You can ask me anything. But here are some tips:

New TIP! Solve SP problems! - Occasionally press sit every 10-15 sec or so then stand up immediately, and you will gain the first tick of your sp recovery, very useful trick.

1:2:1 CON INT SPR seems to be the all around balance build, gives you enough HP to withstand stray hits and ample mana regen to keep you going.

A linker class somewhere around your build solves a lot of your mana problems as you can finish off chained enemies with fewer skills.

Elementalist are terrible without either Rank 2 of Pyro/Cryo to take advantage of it’s attribute.

While the 50% more damage on Energy Bolt with sleep seems tempting, the set up time required to do so is not worth it.

It is possible to build a Magic Knight by going Wiz>Pyro>Linker>Thau>Chrono and using a Wizards blade.

Buy pet really early so you can have someone to tank for you.

Always check your class’ master for attribute every time you log in and again right before you log out, so you will never forget to level up your attributes.

Carrying a few campfire is better than chugging expensive mp pot, thirsty? pop a campfire and regen your sp while you are at it, do a quick stretching, bathroom break, etc.

When fighting a boss, analyze it’s pattern first before using your long cooldown skill that requires positioning so you wont waste it (fire pillar, flame ground, hail, etc)

Elementalist skill prominence is very random but it does follow you, you can activate it before you head in the mob for some extra damage. It synergize well with linker as it can hit more enemies randomly

If you have a high enough level ice wall and a psyko class, you can wall your self then swap the boss inside.

Fireballs stays at the map for a good duration as long as their hits isnt consumed. You can fight harder boss by using it at a safe distance then luring the boss to walk over it.

Skill Explanations
Wizard The boring beginings
Energy Bolt - Bread and Butter skill as a wizard, strong early game but quickly gets phased out by the other two elemental bolts to the point that it’s rarely used at all.
Lethargy - On it’s own it sucks, but when you get it’s attribute, monster reserves 20% more damage with striking attacks. Dunno if Earthquake considered a striking for the bonus.
Sleep - This skill sucks, 50% more damage with Energy Bolt? EB sucks to begin with. Might be useful in pvp. Only good when going Wiz 3 for magic missle
Earthquake - Good for flying enemies and pissing off your teammates by knocking a perfectly positioned monster. Also de links linked enemies. The only earth element magic so it has it’s uses.
Surespell - Useful for pvp but for pvm I dont think it’s needed.
Quickcast - Only useful when going with Elementalist, else you hardly gain anything from it with it’s short duration.
Magic Missle - Improved energy bolt

Pyromancer Dat powerspike
Fireball - Might suck at level 1 and you might regret it but it shines at higher level. Stays long at the field so you can try to lure boss to it. Highly recommended
Firewall - Looks good on promotional video but this skill sux bawls at low level.
Enchant Fire - Changes your auto attack bolt to a cool orange hue. Level 1 is suffice since you just need it for the attribute, unless you are a support.
Flare - It has the coolest animation of all but sucks as a skill
Flame Ground - This skill rocks so hard except it cant hit flying enemies.
Fire Pillar - Looks good on paper, but hard to use as enemies have to be still. Also has a long ass cooldown.
Hell Breath - High dot and pushes back but eats too much MP

Cryomancer endless CC
Ice Bolt - reskined energy bolt but with ice element and freezing effect
Ice Pike - reskined earthquake, same with ice bolt
Ice Wall - Freezes enemy and shoots ice particles when hit with a striking attacks
Ice Blast - Bad skill, why would you want to unfroze a frozen enemy?
Subzero shield - reskined reflect shield, you get the point
Gust - I find this skill lackluster as the push isnt enough
Snow Rolling - Probably the only reason you went cryo 3, a fun skill. You can also roll on your own fireball for massive damage, assuming you have pyro.
Frost Pillar - Useful skill for herding enemies together. Works well with linker.

Elementalist jack of all trades
Electrecute - long cast time but hits for a bunch. It synergize with two different attribute for maximum damage (joint penalty and frozen)
Prominence - Powerful skill but has a random trajectory, there is an attribute that lets you minimize the randomness. It synergize well with Pyro 2.
Hail - Long cast time but has a larger area, decent damage but hits randomly.
Stone Curse - Petrify enemy in a straight line, at level 5 it stops them for a long 15 sec giving you ample time to unload your skills. It has a one min cooldown and a long cast time though so not worth it.
Meteor - With great power comes long casting time but if you can pull it off it hits really hard.

How is the sorcerer in pvp? I’d like to be one but i hestitate if i will go for a cataphract3/hoplite/swordman or pyro/linker/sorcerer to pvp :confused:

I wont be a sorcerer until 6 more levels haha but it depends on what prior class you took and what cards you will gonna use, as of now, we don’t have enough data on sorcerer.

Feel free to give me some advice here!

I really need to know deeper the wizz class.

I’ve read in many posts that 4:1 INT/SPR works really well, i don’t know if you have tried this or what are your thoughts on it!.

I’m waiting anxiously for your answer :DDD.

Thanks!.

4:1 was my original build on CBT1, it’s decent but you die to a lot of stuffs, you get like 1,7k hp when you are already level 80, and sp regen leaves a lot to be desired.

If you are planning the summoner route (sorc/necro) a bit more of SPR is good as it buffs your summon’s defence.

is it worth upgrading ice wall? is it even good in pvp? I’m planning on going cryo 2 then elementalist.

@tip2: What about bosses? Do some grunts always spawn in bossfights or is the Linker “just” useful against mobs but useless in bossfights?

@tip5: Can you go a bit more into detail about that Wizards Blade? Why would you only suggest using it with that build? I really like the idea of a Magic Knight but why would I use the melee attack with my low strength if I could just do a magic one?

Pyro2 here going Elementalist in a few more levels. Is firewall necessary? Mine is at level 4 with 1 in Enchant Fire…mainly using flame ground and fireball for flying mobs. Maxed Fireball/Flame Ground/Flame Pillar. And which skill to learn as Elementalist 1st? Is Linker that important btw?

I’m currently looking into doing Wiz>Pyro>Cryo>Ele>Ele>Ele
I’m making sure my Spr is half of what my Int is and my Con is half of what my Spr is valued at point wise
In your opinion is it a good idea to run (solo) with Plate armor until a certain point to keep up my HP/Def? Or should I really run Cloth armor?

Hi!
I’m now Wiz c2, i’m aiming for wiz3 ele3, is it worth going that path? i know i will be having a hard time till i get to elementalist, what would you suggest to get that way less hellish? xD or any other advice :slight_smile: or should i start over again?.

i’m going for something like this http://www.tosbase.com/tools/skill-simulator/build/xpkp3xgclc/

Thanks!

Hey! Thanks for the useful thread. So, Im currently C2 Cryomancer planing on going elementalist, so I can use the frozen - electrocute combo. Is it good overall? Do you recommend me to go C3 cryo first or just ele? Se new skills seem cool, but honestly Im kinda bored staying cryomancer, and I want some new skills soon hehe; Hope you can answer :slight_smile:

How is the psyko class and what synergizes best with it?

What are the best ways build Necromancer and Elementalist? Idk how to go through the ranks.

I did one Wiz > Wiz > Wiz and going to Elementalist x3 but now i regret it, three wizz rank doesn’t worth =(

What do you think about?

if anyone feels willing to help me, I would appreciate :smile:

hey got a few questions:

1: i went Wiz -> Cryo -> Psycho and after that i wanna go full Elementalist. still ok? cryo Psycho seems nice with psychic pressure
2: i still feel squishy, ice pike has a bit lacking aoe. thinking about wearing full Plate instead of cloth. worth it? or is full cloth the Best way to go
3: good way to reduce downtime from the lack of SP aside from drinking 3249429384 mana potions?

thanks in advance :3

Hmm, ask you anything.
Are you a female? Do you have a boyfriend? Do you need a boyfriend?

Ok, serious, these are my questions:
Linker

  • Does their skills work in PvP?
  • Can you have 2 Linkers providing non-stop Life Line (in PvP)?

Which build i shoud go for INSANE DPS?

1 - Wiz -> Cryomancer x3 -> Elementalist x3
2 - Wiz -> Pyro x3 -> Elementalist x3
3 - Wiz -> Cryomancer x2 -> Linker -> Elementalist x2
4 - Wiz -> Pyro x2 -> Linker -> Elementalist x2

I think Linker should take care of wizz SP issue.

Another builds are welcome.

Sorcer: can only summon 1 “pet” at the same time? like, servant or salami? and if i pick necro can i summon salami + raise dead + shaggot, etc??
