Currently a Level 280 cryo3kino. Here is my review:
General PVE(Questing) - 7/10
- Has enough kits to kill monsters, wont have any problems until 280.
- Annoying to play if you have low FPS. Late frames can lead to interruption.
Party Grinding / Mob clearing - 8/10
- Often looked up as a support dps instead of a primary DPS
- Every tanks will like gravity pole ( If it doesn’t crash them )
- The most enjoyable thing while playing this class, Ice Tree and Gravity Pole for max satisfaction.
- Decent damage but overall damage falls off(unless well attributed) vs meta build but still enjoyable.
Bossing - 5/10
- If untouched : Mid~High tier damage due to ice wall + PP
- If touched while channeling : instant drop down to **** tier dps. You’ll pretty much have to to auto for a while since this build has high cool downs.
- You won’t be able to DPS properly if you have the aggro.
- Can’t standalone on world bosses.
PVP(1 vs 1) - 8/10
- High tier for 1v1 due to your outrageous cc’s. Can beat majority of classes if you have proper gameplay.
- Falls off when against cryo3 + minion based classes due to your channeling being interrupted or being unable to do anything while frozen while their minions does consistent DPS on you.
- biggest weakness would be cryo3 sorc2 Warlock IMO. You’re sealed at close range(Dark Theurge), medium range(Temple Shooter), and at max range (Bats/Salamion)
GVG Skirmishes - 9/10
- Totally enjoyable. The main purpose of this class.
- Raise and Gravity pole bypass dispellers.
- Good for sweeping an enemy party due to Raise + Ice Tree then using Gravity Pole on those who’s caught.
- Bad for camping due to high cooldowns.
- Playing this class requires good positioning so you won’t get interrupted.
Maintenance cost
- Channeling(Gravity Pole / Psychic Pressure) consumes your mp greatly. You’ll chug a lot of potions during grind sessions.
Pros:
(+) Very good / extremely helpful for GVG
(+) Extreme zoning (Raise / Ice Pillar)
(+) Crowd controls
(+) Raise is enough to cluch on most clash.
Cons:
(-) Inconsistent DPS since you may or may not be hit.
(-) High cooldowns
