Go Ele 3, your other skills would be much stronger and with Frost Cloud/Meteor you donā€™t need JP or Hangman.

If the cooldowns are not so horrible like Warlock, Rune Caster will be a much better choice for ele for now :slightly_smiling:

15s Quick Cast

I have both wiz3 and pyro 2 on ktos, gotta test wiz3 again after the buff. So far, I still liked pyro2 much better. Wiz3 was just too weak to me even though I liked magic missiles (but it is still far weaker than anything that pyro has)

AH, with Rune Caster, thing gets more interestingā€¦
I am trying to find a build with a lot of combos and synergy xD I love linker but not a fan of pyro, sorc or necroā€¦
I do have a wiz 3 ele 2 as well but the lack of cc drives me crazy xD hard to find party too since everyone wants Linker, and Archer serve better as a dps in a group with linker :frowning:

which build is the best to make alche Qq i playing with a friend and he is playing a Cleric tree

@elfochka : guess wiz 3 is not suitable for casual play, you need at least rank 5, 6 to catch up with other builds :smiley:

@Lanceis: You still have sleep - one of the best cc in this game.

It doesnā€™t work against flying mobs xD And sometimes it failsā€¦

Thatā€™s what I was thinkingā€¦ Overbuffed archers are going to make dps wizards not needed.

Was hoping all secret classes (if rune master is 1) were all r5.

Rune master is Rank 6 from what I heard :\

Thereā€™s no real pattern really, Shinobi is R7, Chaplain is R5 and Runecaster is R6.

Why would you think that? the FIRST hidden class we got was R7.

These are the things I think about when I think ā€œbalanceā€ (and not necessarily skill balance). Itā€™s equal opportunity.

Wiz 3 Ele 3 (or even when you are Ele 2) usually donā€™t feel the need for JP and Hangman. You already have enough CC and damage against monsters anyway.

@elfochka The fun of Wiz 3 starts at Rank 5, where you have meteor for 255% overkill.


Soā€¦Rune Caster info was out and look like this is a very good class.
Things to note:

  • Every skill has 10s cast time = > Wiz 3 is a must
  • Skills consume 1 rune (500 silver)
  • Attribute Rune Caster: skilled cast (max lv50)

If user has no quick cast, quick cast lv 1 will be applied => wiz 3 isnā€™t required for class change quest.


Inflict massive damage to multiple enemies in a specified location. Attacked enemies reflect additional damage around each other.
Look like a combination of Meteor (huge dmg) and Electrocute (?). More targets => more hits


Increases the damage of Ice magic of the caster and the party by 300%
Duration: 10s x level (150s max)
Attribute: Slow
Whilst [Isa] is active, 5% chance per attribute level to cause a 70% movement speed debuff for 4s when normally attacking an enemy.

Create a circle to temporarily increase the size of allies. Ally size becomes Large, and Attack Power and Defense increases.
Buff Duration: 30s x level
Circle Duration: 10s

Seem like a bad skill, remind me of ice spike.


Raises the chance of resisting status conditions to yourself and your party temporarily.
Resist Chance: 10% x level
Duration: 10s x level
Attribute: Critical Resistance
Whilst under the effect of [Algiz], Critical Resistance will increase based on the Casterā€™s Spirit by 20% per attribute level (max 100%).

Btw, Warlock also got a huge buff today: the spirit spheres created by Dark Theurge and Invocation vanish after hitting a target based upon skill level.

Nice skillsā€¦ But those cooldowns are awfully long. And the cast timesā€¦ Even wiz3 will waste 5 seconds to cast any of the skills, it is an eternity even to wiz3.

Can it really be a dps class withsuch cast times and cds? Or is it a buffing class for party members? How do you think guys?

What does the buff to warlock mean? I donā€™t get it.

Hagalaz has the same dmg formula and cd with meteor so i think its ok. Those buffs are really OP and very long durations so cd wonā€™t be a problem (need lv10 for 100% uptime ). Especially Thurisaz, +100% dmg/def, 20 mov and a bunch of hp, this thing put all other wiz buffs in shame :joy:, need to be careful when using at field boss though since anyone can get the buff :sweat_smile:

its simple, those skills get more hit counts now. For example: Dark Theurge was 5 spirits = 5 hits before but in this patch those spirits can hit more than once according to level (lv 3 = 15hits, lv10 =50hitsā€¦)

Youā€™re forgetting itā€™s a hidden class so itā€™s c1 only, no lv10 skills.

Also I think runecaster will be just fine for builds without wiz 3 that quick cast attribute is pretty nice.

The cast times suck hard even with quick cast though, 10% and even 50% wonā€™t help muchā€¦

Where do the devs say hidden class only has 1 circle?

We donā€™t know yet, nothing said hidden class has C1 only. They have ā€œ3 starsā€ like any other class too:

And unlike Chaplain (literally C4 Priest), both Shinobi and Rune Caster are independent class. [quote=ā€œelfochka, post:139, topic:125788, full:trueā€]

Its not that bad, 5s & 10s are a lot. I use lv 8 Meteor (4s) all the time in CBT2 :sweat_smile:
