Joint penalty mimics a hit from the same source on everything in the link. It doesn’t do the exact same damage or freeze all/none of the group, it does a range as though you attacked with that skill however many times.

wat about wiz3 > link2 > psy2 ?
or wiz3 link3 psy1 ?
or wiz3 thau2 necro2 ?

Got a guy with this build long ago is the magician i have seen to have in a party

Linker doesn’t have any synergies with Kino. Taking only Kino c1-2 without getting c3 or Cryo c2-3 is even worse. On it’s own Kino’s damage is not that impressive.

The last one might work, but from what I heard it’s more useful to take Linker or Cryo c3 for c2 Necro.

i dont like Ele.
and wiz3 > psy1 > cryo3?

If you’re fine with PP hitting only 9 Ice Walls, then yeah. In kToS players made future proof builds using Wiz c3>Cryo c3 as a base. Just be aware that this kind of build might be annoying until next update where we get to unlock Rank 8. Before that your main source of damage will have 65sec cooldown. For the current content Cryo c3>Kino c3 is a better choice.

and what do you think about wiz3 > ele1 > thau3 > ele2 > ele3 (need rank9 lol)

It’s hard to judge how Thaum will perform at higher levels in the future. His buffs have flat bonuses and there is no advancement past c3 unless IMC introduces more special classes like Chaplain.

Thaum might be best pick for future summoners. Enhancing their basic stats and flipping enemies magic circles would help a ton.

I would argue that Chrono c3 with Pass, Haste and maxed Slow would work better for offensive spellcaster at R10. That is as long possible new R8-9 classes wouldn’t outdo everything we’ve seen so far.

I’m trying to help a friend out with a Pyromancer build. (This person really likes Fire mages, and is reminiscent of Firewall leveling in RO)

What are some class combos that work well with Pyromancer?

Wizard 3: Quick Cast Attribute (DPS)
Psychokino 1: Psychic Pressure (Fireball)
Linker 1: Joint Penalty (Helps take care of flying) & Hangman’s Knot (Fireball Linking)
Thaumaturge 3: Swell Left/Right/Brain (DPS)
Elementalist 1: Explosion Attribute (DPS?)
Chronomancer 3: Pass (Cooldowns reduced = higher DPS)

All else fails, even though it doesn’t quite have synergy, Warlock 1 is good for DPS right?

I was thinking of suggesting my friend;

  • Wiz1/Pyro3/Linker1/Elementalist1/Warlock1

But it seems kind of weak taking Linker and Elementalist 1. For Ranks 5/6.

Would one of these builds work out better?

  • Wiz1/Pyro3/Linker2/Warlock1
  • Wiz3/Pyro3/Warlock1
  • Wiz1/Pyro2/Elementalist3/Warlock1
  • Wiz1/Pyro3/Elementalist3
    Or am I missing a real good combination regarding Pyromancer altogether?

(Yes, I know Wiz3/Ele3/Warlock is more DPS and better in the long run. Hence, that’s how I’m building one of my characters. But my friend would easily get bored of ToS even just during the first couple of hours as they quested to Tenet Chapel as Wiz2. Even then, IDK if Magic Missile would appease them once they reach Wiz3)

Maybe Pyro c3>Cryo c3. You can Snowroll and suck in all the fireballs together with enemies. If he had c3 Cryo support skills people wouldn’t complain too much about low dps of his Pyro.

Chronomancer goes rather well with Pyro. Quicken interacts positively with Enchant Fire, Pass allows you to have many fireballs out at once, and monsters affected by Stop still take damage from Flame Ground.

Alternatively, if Pyro 3 isn’t extremely mandatory, I’d suggest you get Linker. It works well with Pyro because most of the fire skills are multihit, and you can HK a mob into your fireballs. Something like Wiz > Pyro c2 > Linker > Chrono c3 could work very well.

If you don’t like the idea of going Chrono, I think the Thaumaturge option is the best one. As I said above, most Pyro skills are multihit, so Swell Left Arm does wonder for Pyro, at least from a theorycrafting perspective.

Saw a guy in the Mango stream playing this build and seems to be so good. What do you guys think? Why are people ignoring Rune Caster?

Hello.
Im going cryo-kino-cryo-kino-(kino)-(???) atm.
i know that popular pve combo build is wiz3-cryo1-kino2-rc
but i also want some pvp in future and also want some pve capabilties, i like bossfights with ice wall combo.

so the questions are
1)runecaster vs cryo 3, or should i just reroll and start wiz3 route?
2) maga+ arde\shield vs audra

Because I am a selfish bastard that will depend on the existence of another Rune Caster to cast such things.

Please, dont go Pyro c3. i regret to go pyro c3.

What build are you going for and why do you regret getting pyro C3?

Hey guys! I was wondering about a full summoner build:

Wiz>Pyro>Link2>Sorc>Necro2

or

Wiz>Cryo3>Sorc>Necro2

Dunno which is the best


Wizard surely the most diverse class and difficult to pick the build, too many questions in this section and difficult to answer all.

But I’ve state mostly in the spreadsheet and comment, can read it again if needed.

Pyro C3 is not that bad, it able to provide sustainable damage with low cooldown, but it need work with linker JP+HK to lock down the fireball. It is good in fighting boss and dungeon, but not normal map grinding because mobs die within 5s while your flameground keep going. Any PvE fight that >10s is good
Pyro C3 > Linker C2 > Warlock/Featherfoot is an ideal choice, you use Linker for grinding and helpful to party, while Pyro for damaging boss.

Wizard C3 also not bad, the +50% Magic Missile still can 1 shoot most mobs in high level 1 star map. And, I use it to aggro bunch monsters in dungeon when there is no swash buckling, you also deal lot damage when use sleep on them. I REALIZE there are very LESS WIZARD C3 know how to use Sleep lv15 in dungeon correctly, many not even bother to put it in skill bar. It is very important skill!

Cryo C3 also not bad, it is the best Crowd Control class in game currently, but you need to know how to use it correctly and team up with a good icewall hitter like psycho/monk/dopple.

Sorcerer 1 is bad, the Grimoire hit too random to really worth it unless you plan getting C2 in rank8, but the buff from summon servant is very cute and helpful to the team for SP regeneration and AoE attack Ratio +5.
Sorcerer need work with linker the best, Cryo is not bad but it just doesn’t synergy better compare with linker.

Sorc 1 is only bad if you have no experience positioning your summon. It’s not NEARLY as bad as people make it out to be.

Do you think, a build with wiz 3 > cryo 3 > runecaster can be a good DPS for PvE?
