Is pyro>wiz3>linker2>FF good or…?
I doubt Pyro1 would give you a significant boost in damage, I don’t know much about this class but the only times I thought about it was in boss fights when I didn’t have anything to link with the boss and wished I had a fireball (for +50% damage bonus to poison, earth and lightning from JP).
Hmm okay I will go rune caster instead… And about this build, is it viable in party play also?
Actually, I’d suggest taking something else as Runecaster isn’t so useful, maybe Sorc or Necro. Read more about these classes, I rarely use RC’s abilities.
Until 260-265 it’s good because of Linker, after 265 other builds are more required, such as pure supports or pure dps. This build is good for solo farming.

btw I’m going the thauma route, is wiz2 really mandatory for a FF?
I made some compilation about featherfoot in general in this thread. Try checking it out,
I already read it and gave my comments a few days ago.
It is mandatory for efficient use of Blood Sucking. If you have any other means of preventing interruption like freeze or sleep or anything else, it is not. However, it is the most reliable way of using the full charge of Blood Sucking in solo gameplay.
You might go for Wiz2-Linker-Thau3-FF, for example.
@Ellyr since this is also a question on mechanics
I dont really recommend having a thauma on an FF build. Well this is due to the thing behind the synergy between decay and swell body. Although Decay only works on normal mobs and does not work on bosses, it is most effective on mobs with high hp. Usually high hp mobs are medium or large in size. I do not know if the combo works on large mobs as large mobs do not change in size. In such a case, does large mobs have an increase in hp? If the hp does not increase, it is not worth it to get thauma 1.
The reply was directed for him.
I was going that wiz2 linker thau3 FF, but then I wont have any other damage spells until rank 7? and was planning on farming with swell body too using magic missile to kill, is thau3 over wiz3 a better route? I mean 50% matk is a lot better than max swell brain +150 int IIRC right?, but then you get lvl 15 of swell left and 10 of right arm. A bit confused. FF skills have long CD too
I did a quick research LINK looks like large monsters do not get the bonus hp from swell body rendering this combo useless against large type monsters. Also, the same with decay, this debuff can be resisted. Overall, Thauma + FF is just really gimmicky at best unless you really want the other swell buffs. However, the combo is still effective for duels without dispellers.

@Ellyr as expected.
@ginoang_linx Rank 7: your main dmg will come from the 12sec Ngahundi if you are using this build most of the time. Before rank 7, I foresee the use of buffs and AA only along with JP + HK. Reversi will be used as a situational fillers. Well i will not say that it is bad. But you will need to party up alot since it is probable to get bored AAing all the time with buffs only. And also based on Ellyr reseach, the synergy is not really a good one unless you are going PVP.
hmm that makes me rethink of going FF, but I really wanted to make a battle thauma type of character with linker in it, any ideas?
By battle thauma do you mean an auto attack build or do you just want to incorporate thauma into a dps wiz build?
incorporate thauma to a dps wiz and possibly with a linker if can, since I got a dandel gem to use
Oh nice dandel gem. I really want that. lol
I can only think of a few builds. For a dps wiz the minimum should at least be wiz3 for quick cast 50% magic damage attribute.
Wiz 3 -> Link 1 -> Thauma 1 -> Necro 1 -> Necro 2 / Featherfoot
Wiz 3 -> Link 1 -> Thauma 1 -> Thauma 2 -> Necro 1 / Featherfoot
Wiz 3 -> Link 1 -> Thauma 1 -> Rune Caster -> Necro 1 / Featherfoot
If you really want the decay interaction + swell body, necro will produce the same results with featherfoot. Necro can infict decay thru Dirty Pole and Shoggoth decay attribute.
hmm does a necro benefit from linker?
Yes - Link + Flesh Hoop / Cannon Will obliterate mobs easily
that’s my build

… i’m fear of pyro 2 gets to “weak” in dgs / ET on late game =/
i was thinkin in change for wiz 3 > link > sorc 2 > feather
@edit
or just go for a full con suport with
wiz 3 > linker 3 > feather high con [225 invested] 30~33k hp
and a low int arround [75 invested] allows me 161 at end, without itens !
my hp reg 'll be of ± 443 and with animus give more 177 at magic amp xD
improvin my blood suckin, my primordial source of sustien …
am i crazy ? help me kkkk gime ligh plz ! rsrs
ps: sorry about my english =/
Check out the thread that I have linked above. I built mine wiz 3 -> link 1 -> sorc 2 -> featherfoot.
Also, I don’t think high CON is necessary especially if you are going for sorc 2. First summon scales from int. Second, hold command is there to grab the initial aggro from the mobs to let the summon tank the hits for you which IMO negates the need for high HP. Also, magic amp is just a flat bonus that has a high variance. Check out the other thread in wiz forum discussing it.
