Lightning Wizard

Class and Rank Wizard
#1

Hello there, I’m kinda new in this game.
I created a swordman and a wizard and so far I like this game.
What I learned from this game is that I must decide the path of who I want to be beforehand because after I choose the advancement class, there’s no way to go back.
Since my playing time is kinda limited, I would like to ask for your advice.

I’m interested to play a wizard who specialise in lightning element.
My main purpose is just to enjoy the story (so I guess it’s PVE oriented).
Do you think this path is good and playable?
Wizard - Wizard - Wizard - Elementalist - Elementalist - Elementalist
as for the 7th rank, I’m not sure what to choose.
This is because the only class that has lightning magic is the elementalist.

Also, I dislike the Elementalist’s outfit. When I advance my class, will my character’s sprite change or stay the same?

You can choose what costume to use.

Example, no costume > standard wizard costume
or Elementalist costume.

if you are willing to spend some money you can also buy wizard c3 costume which looks nice IMO, or other costumes available

as for R7 common choice is warlock because Dark Theurge seems to be strong to kill leftover monsters when your main skills are on cooldown and pole is a good boss killer

I think TOS more specialise in Ice Fire Wizard for Elementalist …

The eletrocute skills erm erm, a bit not so useful compare to other skills

I see.
I guess the only way to be a good PVE Elementalist is choose fire element, huh?
I don’t see any lightning spell beside electrocute.

Wiz are often pigeon holed since we deal with resistances and sometimes even immunity. Ex. Some mobs in Demon Prison Dist. 2 absorb fire and is often a nightmare for pyros to grind.

Worse so, we also have the only Earth element spell and it scales horribly, making it useless the moment you step out of rank 1 unless you’re a pure support wiz.

Nope, i see many put full skills point to HAIL, METEOR, FROST CLOUD.

The rest depend how to play :
If you play HAIL freeze at rank 2, then you electrocute… or

If you stone curse then launch meteor / prominence…

As for me, i planning play SLEEP, HAIL, METEOR, FROST CLOUD.

Last time before TOS launch, i so hope their electrocute like Ragnarok Lord of Vermillion. Once launch, i so so so so so so so disappointed.

Maybe Enchanter circle 2/3 will feature lightning spells[since 1st circle they have enchant lightning]… dont give up hope :slight_smile:

Or, alternatively, you can have cleric as your “wizard” spesialising in Zaibas then take for even more damage Taoist circle (plus, taoist costume looks kinda wizard-y a bit… it was even originally in a wizard tree

Yeah I loved the lightning spells from Ragnarok 1.
It seems like fire magic is the only magic that can deal a great amount of damage in this game but I don’t really like fire magic.
I like ice magic but from what I’ve read cryomancer is not as optimal as pyromancer in term of damage.

I don’t know anything about Cleric class, because I thought it is more like a priest class which doesn’t utilize the elements.
I need to learn more about this “Zaiba”.

I was kinda on the same path, i wanted a shaman type character. And when i saw featherfoot’s outfit and elementalist electrocute (chain lightning) i was sold on the concept. So i decided to go wiz -> wiz2 -> linker1 -> elementalist2 -> wiz3 - FF1. Linker to link the targets before using lightning on them looks cool and all but could stand playing elementalist for like 30 min. I now dont touch that char, the cast time on elemental skills is just unbearable and you pretty much need wiz 3 for 50% cast time if u dont want to go insane. But maybe you can skip linker and go wiz 3 straight of the bat and go featherfoot at the end. They are pretty cool with their bloodmagic xD and in circle 2 at rank 8 you can fly and be one with the wind xD

I’ve read about zaibas. It is an interesting skill. It has lightning element.
I didn’t know that cleric tree has this skill.
If I choose this path, the only way I can think is Cleric - Krivis - Krivis - Krivis.
However, after that I haven’t found any relevant class for a spellcaster. Becoming a zombie/undead master or priest is not what I have in mind.
The only alternative beside those are Monk and Paladin which means I have to put some resource to physical damage.
But the concept is kinda nice though.
C1 - Krivis3 - Monk3 will make me a martial artist that can use lightning element.
C1 - Krivis3 - Paladin3 will make me look like a Spellsword/ Battlemage with lightning element.

Kinda strange though. I want a to be a mage that focus on lightning but have to choose cleric which in theory doesn’t have anything to do with basic elements of nature.

#11

I wonder how terrible the casting time of elementalist is?
I haven’t gone far with my wizard, the casting time of lethargy and energy bolt is still acceptable.

#12

Lethargy (and sleep) is actually insta cast…You dont have to wait for full gauge to release it

Mixing physical and magical is usually a bad idea, especially with monk and krivis. Rather, you can opt for cleric 2 > krivis 3 > Druid 2 > Taoist… you will be a potent boss killer

#13

Yea perhaps electrocute cast time at rank 5 is the same as lethargy’s full channel, but leth u can instacast and it does the same thing. But electrocute you have to channel the whole duration to cast it and its interruptible if u dont have surespell running.

#14

there is no reason to take elementalist if you don’t go ele3, the only good skill ele has is frost cloud which you get at C3.
however FF needs linker (pref linker2-3) to work that’s why people go warlock after ele
but both warlock and FF seem under powered with rank8 and actually looking at those 3k m def mobs i don’t think there is any mage I’d want to play
