I was wondering if this build would be feasible for partying with my friends.
Any advice, tips, and criticisms are welcome. Thanks!
and post the link apart to show it like that ^
I would say, donāt waste points on energy bolt unless you go for 5ā¦
am not sure about having more than 1 point on swap and telekinesis is like energy boltā¦ useless at low levelā¦
The class choices are very good but the skill choices could use some work. Here is my suggestion:
Iāll try to answer any questions about it tomorrow
what with people and level 1 energy bolts
that skill is your go all in or donāt go :\
at least thatās the way I goā¦
At level 1 if you start the charge and cancel immediately doesnāt it still cast?
I get level 1 because adding more points kills your damage to SP ratio.
I was thinking of a CyroChrono combo too, but does it deal enough damage?
Instead I ended up going for this:
with the other one being for the Ice Rune:
All levels of Energy bolt have 1s cast timeā¦
the skill is ready as soon as it show the level above the head of it caster
Iāve planned a Wiz-Cryo c3-Elem c2-RC with the Tree+Meteor combo but in the kOBT i stopped before Elem because of lag/ping issue (iām from France ā¦).
I still think this build can do the job even if Meteor doesnāt get the Quick Cast bonus like everybody love.
But will RC add to the overall damage, or better on getting Ele C3 in your opinion?
Wizard:
- Energy Bolt
- Good for filler between cryomancer spells CD.
- Reflect Shield
- Good for preventing Interruption.
- EarthQuake
- I donāt think itās a good skill to have with these classes. I reccomend the points into sleep instead. ( Since you have elementlist, having more CC will help you have time to channel /target)
Cryomancer:
-
Ice Bolt
-
Another filler ( basically a water energy bolt), You can have this skill at lvl 1 if you choose since the freezing rate is flat rate and duration. ( Also another way to proc ice blaster if Ice wall, Pike on CD)
-
Ice Pike
-
Very good burst spell. It would be good to max this ( If not, get the attribute for Enhance up to around 50% since it is going to be a strong source of damage from the start. ( It should be strong enough to 1-hit several monsters with all the connected hits.
-
Subzero Shield
-
( I have no idea )
-
Gust & Ice Blaster
-
I think you should pick one of these skills to raise the highest, and leave the other one at a minimal level and re-distribute pts into another skill. ( I.e ice wall, or pike ) Mainly because both remove the frost effect so you canāt use both consistently but only alternate. ( Ice blast has a chance to remove frost, Gustās is 100% however it deals more simultaneous hits IIRC) Hard for me to give you a simple direction since both skills were buffed / altered, Iād personally say that Gust is better - but it may be due to ICBT2 Bias since i had leveled that and left the Ice Blast at lvl 1(2 with the ice rod) due to it being a very determinant skill at that time.

General
Since youāre going to be a cryomancer for a while, iād definitely recommend creating / obtaining an Ice Rod ASAP. It adds +1 to ALL cryomancer skills that have at least a point in it, So your Frozen Pillar / Snow Roll can be LV 6 for an extra seconds worth of control. As well as increasing your overall damage. You can definitely keep this weapon until you get R5/6 ( provided you upgrade it )
The-Rod:
I canāt really help you with the Elementalist stuff since i know very little about them outside of their skill kit. The Electrocute Freezing Magic Damage looks like a cool attribute, but i donāt even know if itās any good.
Hope it helps a little.
Thatās what i meant by Quick Cast bonus ^^
Oh, my bad then. Just ignore it.
With this large amount of people going c3 wizard ele and c3 cryochrono I think Ill just get linker2 ez support and buff sharing
You get most damage from it per sleep attribute bonus.
Max energybolt is a waste of points xD.
Might help early, but you wont stay early more then a few days xD.
Everybody are going to build one of those 2 because they are the easy ones.
I personally prefer to wait for the mimic and ohters (or at least some informations) and then iāll decide.
Its really hard to decide knowing rank 8 classes might be the one you like and might screw up your combination, like when you think this combination is viable then suddenly rank 8 might completely nullify it
Same here, gonna go linker 2 and find someone with wiz3 to party with.
Just so you know, the attribute on Quick Cast that gives you an 100% uptime +50% Magic Damage increase is not shared by Spiritual Chain (attributes are character only).
@DrRM
I guess from what I remember if you cancel the charge immediately you just cast level 1 energy bolt. So you put levels into it and charge fully youāre simply wasting SP for negligible damage increase. Damage is coming from your stats and equips. The skill doesnāt scale well, hence level 1. Its good to have because of the AoE.
@Banana
CryoChrono DPS is pretty low, but that is okay because the build is based on supporting a party, which it does incredibly well. For your first build, it could work but it would lack a lot of DPS vs. a Wiz3Ele3 and lack utility vs. a cryochrono. Jack of all trades is fine though. (Listen to Gwenyth on the skills)
Your second build is really interesting, but I would change the skills to be this:
To me it is a āsleeper pickā to be a really good mixture of damage and control. Common knowledge is to go Elementalist C3 or go home, but Isa may prove this wrong. I like it, very creative.
That is good to know, thank you very much for pointing it out.
best to swap the elems for psycho. ice pp rune is quite popular
