Mage Build Discussion Linker/Ele/Chrono

Class and Rank
#1

Hi,
im new and if started to do a bit of theory crafting. I like to play mages in almost every game, so i wanna play a mage class in ToS too.
All of the Mage classes sound pretty good, but the hard part is, as always, what to get and what to not get.
I dont wanna play the Solo pure dps who doest bring anything to a party.
So i have put a few Builds together of what i think could be fun. :grin:

  1. Wizard>Cryo>Linker>Linker>Chrono>Chrono
    I realy like this Build in a party with a DPS Char this has potential, but i dont know how hard it is to play this Solo. Not sure if the 2nd Chrono level is too much, i dont know how good the extra lvls for quicken etc. and hast/back masking are to say yes or no.

  2. Wizard>Pyro>Linker>Linker>Chrono>Chrono
    This would be the more offensive version of Nr. 1. I even consider the 2nd Wizard rank, for the Surespell and the extr Reflect Shield stacks. Here it is the same with last Rank.

  3. Wizard>Cryo>Linker>Elementalist>Elementalist>Necro
    Im not sure about this one, the last Rank could be swaped out for the 3rd Ele or Alchemist, but i feel it lacks the “partiibility”(hey i made up a new word :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: )

Im currently thinking about a combination with Thaumaturge, but i neither know how many Ranks of Thaumaturge nor what to mix it with.

Feedback is appreciated, thanks in advance.

Those are all good builds, except the 3rd one. It’s not bad, I just don’t know if it’s good since I didn’t really pay much attention to ele.

Just be careful if you plan on running physical link. If you link yourself with someone who is more tankier than you and you get hit, I believe they will take a ton of damage since you don’t have as much damage reduction as he does. Hangman’s Knot should synergize well with Ice Wall.

I’m running something similar specifically for CC. I hear ToS plays kinda like Diablo 3 and in Diablo 3, CCs were extremely helpful. Plus it’s kinda my thing too.

Ok i dont know how the reduction on Linked targets work, in the Skill-Video both Chars take the same amount of dmg. So it seems that the Char who got hit resolves the dmg-reduction and than that dmg is split equally over the Link.

Build 1 is bad… really. You would be bound to 2~3 half assed skills damage-wise to level up all 6 Ranks… and there isn’t much synergy between those choices.

Build 2 is better because Linker works better with Pyro, and Pyro has more skills to help you grind. Chrono is also okay-ish with Pyro, but I wouldn’t put it with Linker, unless you are going to make a “melee Wizard” (which is not viable now and idk it it will ever be).
Sure Spell would be useless here, and the Shield is not worth it.

Build 3 is similiar to a generic Wiz DPS build. Some people said AoE skills works differently than single target ones when hitting enemies bound by Linker. It is possible to be true, but I am not sure. Here you could go Wiz C2 for Sure Spell since it is used by Elementalist and Necro (Flesh Cannon).
Cryo + Ele works well. Maybe Necro will too, since it gives you meat shields to help with your cast timers. But yeah, not much party support.

Thauma is underwhelming right now. It has 3~4 good buffs (basically 1 per circle), so you need to dedicate him at least 2 Ranks. Imo, they are boring.

Thanks for the detailed feedback. Do you have any suggestion for better build? I would like to use Linker but other than that im open to suggestion. Something Like:

  1. Wizard>Pyro>Linker>Linker>Sorcerer>Sorcerer
  2. Wizard>Pyro>Linker>Linker>Linker>Alchemist

You obviously know more about the synergy then me, so let me know what you think.

#6

Regarding Ranks 5 and 6:
If you want to be an Alchemist and have summons, I guess Sorc > Alch is fine.
If you don’t mind Alch, get Pyro C2 > Necro instead.

I don’t think 3 circles in Linker is worth right now. 2 circles are okay tho.

Thanks again for the reply!

So @Satoru what your saying is that
Wizard>Pyro>Pyro>Linker>Linker>Necro
should be good/ok.

Thats the Build im currently the happiest with. (theoretically)

#9

Yup.

Don’t forget that with the new system, you could go

Wizard>Pyro>Linker>Pyro>Linker>Linker>Necro,

for example.
