Honestly trying to make a dps mage build gives me a headache.
All the mage dps classes feel awkward as if they are playing with a handicap. The class with the worst case is pyro. The devs are putting out crippling nerfs on mages. We’re talking about
- Pyro’s flame pillar nerf
- Linker’s nerf
- Sorc skill move to next circle
- Useless skills
- Long CD
Why? i effen dont know. They are too scared to put dps on the class (out of the 4) that should do the most dps because it might be too “op”. What do they do instead? They focus and buff Warlock skill instead of the basic staple classes. and yet they left warlock 2min cd pole of agony alone. What are they thinking?
Pyros should have higher dps on standstill targets than warrior, cleric or archer but it is being out dps by all of them.
If we talk about wiz out of 5 skills, 2 are useless end game- energy bolt and lethargy.
For Pyro3 out of 7 skills only 3 skills fireball, flame ground fire pillar is good. Fireball can be hit by players and flame pillar has a stupid 2 min CD
For Cyro out of 8 skills 6 can be used well, tbh i havent played cyro3 so idk much.
Why does cyro have 1 more skill than pyro? How is this balanced? idk
From what i heard psycho got a buff on their main skill, but and maybe 4/7 skills are worth using. Yet pyro’s 3rd circle ability hells breath is total trash and wasnt even buffed when psycho’s buff went up.
Hey maybe i should just play wiz3 elem3 like the other people…
Elem 3 requires a wiz3 which is frustrating to lvl but also frustrating how wiz3 elem 3 build is set in stone in a game which promotes flexibility, Who wants a wiz 2 without quick cast buff? Who wants an elem 2 without frost cloud?
As a pyro/sorc main and someone who wants to play pyro, I just dont see pyro’s doing well iOBT. As fireball is pyro3 best and only good skill, to have it still kickable is the biggest nerf in this entire effen game.
I’m telling you
There’s going to be tons of wiz3 elem 3 warlock1 players that can out-dps the single class that should do the most dps, pyros.
What pyro needs is a massive skill rework; its already behind and will fall harder behind after more classes are introduced. It already useless in pvp.
Wiz3Elem3WL1 build is already stronger and more stable than anything pyro can be paired with and will grow stronger once more skills are introduced, It also uses the first wizard slot that is completely useless for pyro. The only weakness of Wiz3Elem3 is long CD, but later with more classes and skills CD wont matter anymore, even with 2 minutes CD on skills.
Anyway im rambling, but thats the only way i can express the info because there is so much.
Can anyone suggest a Pyro build that is dps focused and not one of these builds:
Wiz>Pyro3> Sorc3
Wiz>Pyro2>Elem3>WL
