This build is not new, but there are very limited information how of its actual gameplay.
So far I’m proud of my build, and I want to share with more peoples.
While all the highlights on Sorcerer, Elementalist, and CryoChrono, those builds are straight forward and doesn’t need a lot of skills to play.
The main build is Full INT Pyro2Thaum3Warlock2:
This build is better for PvE/ET/DG-Solo, mainly Firepillar is a very good CC and Enchant Fire add a bit of damage, the rest of spells provide good skills rotation.
It is suffering to play, but it can do any content and join any party just fine, it also have good impact on any party.
Variant 1:
Wizard3Thaum3Warlock2
This build is better for PvP as Energy Bolt is quite good at lv15 since it cast instantly, and lethargy lv15 if you want to help more in bossing. Lethargy+Earthquake also good damage but the knockback effect is bad.
Varaint 2:
Wizard1Cryo1Psycho1Thaum3Warlock2
For Icewall Shooting, better on bossing, but without Surespell/RuneOfIce it is not that great.
Solo DG290
Solo Saalus Mausoleum
There are many techniques you need master in this build, it is quite troublesome to play at moment.
But in coming patch where they
- Improve invocation spirit can tank 10hits,
- Fasten warlock/pyro’s cast animation
- 3min buff time for all swells.
- Better buff value on Right Hand in cost of removing MDef when equip shield
- Swell Right Arm will apply on pistol/cannon soon
Hey, all good news are coming!
- Invocation can use to provoke devil type monster, you see i’m cast firepillar and use invocation to provoke. But it disappear very fast as they only take 1hit now. Same to Flare can use to provoke passive mobs.
- Swap dagger and shield depend on situation, it will instant apply Atk/Def, Thauma not need fancy gears to be good, we are self-sustain.
- Transpose INT<>CON and equip Animus to snapshot the HP Recovery > Magic Amplication
- In any emergency, transpose INT<>CON and chuck red pots, you will recover hp very fast. I seldom use since i;m using Lionhead Shield/Emengard Shield.
- Why I like to jump? It can cancel unwanted animation during swell buff -.- troublesome though
- There are lot ins and outs of the build when you will find it fun to explore them. Pyromancer is okay if the casting animation is better and burn debuff have longer duration and stackable, well let us hope.
- Cure lv16 scroll is good if you have someone to craft, it works with Mastema’s debuff like 36hits*103%*2
- Pryomancer is bad, yea but it still prominent when using with Shrink Body, well… anything is good on Shrink Body but you can do it on your own or for party.
*Chappy cards doesn’t apply on Swell Buffs
Stats Distribution Option
There are 3 types of Full Stats if you aim to utilize your buff.
Full INT, Full SPR and Full CON, each of them have pros and cons.
Full INT
Full INT is good for maximize offensive damage like Warlock C2, not only it provide more self-Matk but it scale with Chapparition Cards as well. You also not need to rely on Swell Brain to deal damage with usually have 10s downtime.
But soon in coming patches like ktos, the different will be lesser as Thauma’s Swell Brain buff duration will increased to have 100% uptime and you can only equip 3 chapparitions card while it can be replaced with other cards.
Full SPR
Full SPR is good for party and it add more Matk to party member with losing small portion of self-Matk(No Int), usually good for support build like link3thaum3. But as said, the different will be much lesser. The Max SP & SP Recovery are negligible
Full CON
Pretty a end-game build with Solmiki Robe + 3 set bonuses + Emengard Shield, a PvP/GvG setting where you reversi (heal) in frontline, peoples will fear your warlock skills and hence disrupt the formation of enemy. You need higher tranpose duration to sustain the buff and require additional buff slot when using INT Mode.
You can tranpose to INT and use all 3 buffs and cancel the transpose buff to become a 90k HP with 7~8k Matk, and there are a lot of possible gears setting for different setup.
Estimate 4 modes of thauma with decent high end gears:
Full CON + Dagger = 8k+ Matk, 90k HP
Full CON + Shield = 7k+ Matk, 100k HP
Full INT + Dagger = 10k+ Matk, 30k HP
Full INT + Shield = 9k+ Matk, 40k HP
So, as you see with small portion lost of matk you can have a lot of HP.
