[Guide] Mage Builds General Discussion šŸ’„

Thanks ! :slight_smile: Yeah Linker seems great as well. Especially when comboed with Magic Missile.

After grinding through 100 levels and realizing I really don’t have a way to get to Circle 7 as a Cryo / Linker / Chrono, I’m now looking for alternative builds. I have some friends who I grind with, but because of time zones and what not, that’s not always possible, and soloing is agonizing. I’ve contemplated restarting, but I’ve got some cosmetics and cash shop things I have that I really don’t want to lose. As such, I’ve been looking at alternative builds (Currently Wiz/Cryo/Linker/Linker), and would like some suggestions on Rank 5-7. I’ve narrowed it down to 3 builds, but to be honest, I’m sure I’m missing things (and even with the builds I’ve noted, I’m not really sure how effective they are), so advice would be really appreciated.

1: This build lets me still do some supporting with Linker, Sorc at Circle 5 with Temple shooter should help me solo a lot more, and Cryo 3 should still be useful in ET (I think).

2: So this is 2/3s of the way to my full support build, with the exception of a rank of Sorc. I know Chrono 3 is the bread and butter with pass, but I need to get there first, preferably sometime this decade. Plus, since we know there’s going to be a rank 8 and on (at some point), I figure I’m investing for Chrono 3 in the future.

3: This last build is more solo-ish, I think, but I’m wondering if it still works as a support. It forgoes by cryo and chrono for sorc and featherfoot, but I’m worried if this will still be useful lategame. That said, I’m sure having hold will be of great help so my summon won’t be so stupid.

Thank you in advance for any advice! :slight_smile:

EDIT: To be a bit more specific as to what i’m asking, I wanted to know how effective each build would be going into late game. Also, I was wondering if any of these builds could be changed on the fly without gimping the overall build too much (for example, let’s say I hit Circle 6, and a new class gets added in that works great as a support class, or is something I’m really looking forward to trying). What about once finished, which build would work best once Rank 8-10 comes into play?

Hi everyone. I have 2 questions regarding Kino:

  1. Why I see many people maxing Telekinesis? In pve, it takes forever to slam the 8 hits -____- The AoE damage is pretty bad, even the single target damage is not great either. 3-4s of channeling PP does more damage :\ In pvp, it is great to pick up a key target and force he/she out of position. But I don’ think you have to hold the person for like 15s. You cannot do anything until you finish slamming 8 hits which again takes forever…What is the advantage of maxing that ability?

  2. How does Magnetic Force scale? Does the AoE ratio go up at all with level? If not, why should I put point into it since its damage is really low?
    Thanks :smiley:

Wiz 3 > Thau 3 would make any damage class you picked afterwards be on steroids. However, with only 7 circles, I don’t think it’s that viable right now. When we have 10 circles, then maybe…

I have a hatred for Cryo due to the pain that I had while trying to solo level a Cryo in kToS, so I know a bit of your pain. A single level in Sorcerer, as you seem to have figured out, can help you heaps in leveling solo. Keep in mind the Temple Shooter card isn’t incredibly easy to come by though.

Wiz>Cryo>Linker2>Sorc leaves rank 6 and 7 rather open to whatever you want. There could be a few optimizations on your skills if you were willing to spend a skill reset, but nothing major.

Keep in mind you want the lowest amount of SPR possible if you are going Sorc.

Hello guys i’m going for cyro psy warlock build but did not decide should i go for cyro3 or psy 3 could you help me for decide please?

There are 5 ranks in between Wiz and Warlock, so I am assuming you want to go C3 with one and C2 with the other.

Honestly the Cryokino combo is on such a large CD due to Ice Wall that I don’t think it is worth to spend so many ranks on that alone.

However, if you really want to stick with that… Both classes get a lot more from C3 than C2. So what I’d probably do is go for C3 on one of the two and then pick a Linker rank instead of C2 on the second one. A Linker rank with JP gem will let you link 6 monsters, which is going to be a lot of help when grinding normal mobs.

Yes i’m planing to get one of them c2 and other one to c3 if i choose cyro 1 and pick linker i will lose shield and icewall counts,if i pick psy c1 and linker i will lose magnetic force and and stuns.

Hey guys. Planning to make a support/dps type wizard.

I read some posts that Hangman’s Knot (Linker) was nerfed so I decided to just invest 1 circle on Linker and make pyromancer 2 circles.

Here is a sample build I created from reading in the forums:

I would love to have your feedback.

It’s not really possible to say what build would work best once Ranks 8-10 come into play because we don’t really know what that entails. I will says this though: Even though you CAN get chrono3 once rank 8 comes, that would mean giving up on potentially good rank8 classes or c2 of rank7 ones.

The skills choice pretty perfect, except Lethargy lv3 and Reflect Shield leave it at lv1, but it doesn’t matter and not important at all.

Pyromancer couldn’t be a DPS in late game, because it kill way too slow, but it does add some damage.
I actually suggest get full support like Cryo-Chrono, only up to rank8 to select for dps classes, this way you can be less risky of future-proof.

Chrono 3 is rank 7, just would like to point that out.

pyromancer is just stress. linker bind time is stress.
so i threw out my pyro> linker> FF/WL build after the nerf

i would say the last linker nerf make the class tertiary
there’s other control mobs options
and with emerging AOE DPS classes, linkers are not helping much.

ive seen a few barbs made, i cri everytiem.
but i hope more get swashbuckling to replace linkers. 2H are…not helpful

on a side note, you might want to keep your characters at rank 6.9 until rank 8 comes out so that u dont get screwed over. depends on when rank 8 comes though.

I know, I’m talking about this, his 2nd build.

Yeah, I’m a bit hesitant of the 2nd build as well, since most likely Rank 8+ will coincide with new classes that I might want to try out. Which still leads me to choosing between Cryo/Cryo for Circle 6-7 vs Sorc/FF. How effective is Linker + Cryo (I know the common support is Cryo + Chrono) as an end game support, and how good is the synergy between FF and Linker? Not to mention, is C2 Sorc worth it - I mean, it’s just for hold, but I don’t know what else it offers. Thanks for the info!

Hey bro, this might be out of topic. But did anyone reach level 160 yet? Wanted to know if it is still as difficult to level from there. Tq

Are there any experienced wizards that could compare these two builds for me:

Can’t decide which one is better.

Both are quite good,
The 1st build will have Frost Pillar as a stronger CC and defensive ability.
The 2nd build is pure Cannon Burst build with instant Boss Killing.

If you have more Defensive/Support in mind, go 1st build.
If you going pure Offensive, go 2nd build, but I suggest get Wizard C3 first and get Pyro at end, the Magic Missile actually stronger skills to progress your map.

Up to you

i didn’t know before but the elem attribute for pyro2 seems interesting.
i wouldn’t pyro2 cyro2 elem2 though

Hello All! Im new to the forums and I havent been able to find out if this build would be a good thing, even after the linker nerf ive read they did.
Been thinking of going warlock. So far im at wizc2.


Points might be wrongly allocated, im new around =P but would apreciate if its a viable build. and if linking enemies works as intended when damagin with warlock. Thanks so much! Planing a 3 or 4 INT/ 1 CON distribution.
