New cryo DPS build advice

i’ll go fo W3>cryo3>RC>linker/sage for To test it (and i dont use the wizz anyway =/ so its ok)

So guys wiz3 cryo3 is a thing now? Because back before update i had a wiz3cryo3kino1 planning to make sage. But i reset the char (just to get skill points back) but i went back for the same wiz3cryo3 except im not sure if kino is still necessary to do damage with icewall. Or is ice blast the new thing to go with?

If anyone has some insights, tell me if im w3c3 now… Where should i go and should i go back to kino or something else at rank 7. And no rune casters btw :slight_smile:

im not sure about kino on this build too, yeah kino is someway op, but you need to have good aim and RC for kill bosses, but there is not much for killing lots of monsters. this are my ideas for now.

thanks for the ideas… subzero shield useless? im not actually sure how it works… i know these:

  1. melee enemies only (physical only?)
  2. reflects dmg at them and freeze

what i dont know is… does it actually block the dmg when it reflects? in the description it says block… but i heard it doesnt?

Sub zero shield reflects the damage ,but its mostly for pvp because can freeze the melee atacks, but in pve its not much usefull.

does it reflect like: they take dmg and freeze but i still take the dmg. OR i dont take the dmg and its fully reflected back to them?

you reflect some of the damage and you recive the damage to.

oh okok thanks. they din even mention how many % it blocks lol

What about this :P?

  • Cryo1 gives you all your DPS skills already (pike, blast).
  • Wall + PP, but you need Audra+Humming Bird Gem+Divine Might Scroll for 10? hits.
  • Linker + Chrono3 = superb support
  • Pass basically halves your pike and blast cd
  • JP + HK + pike = 3*5 hits per mob (almost like an instant Flesh Cannon)
  • Last rank can be Warlock (farm) or RC (a long cast time Ice Rune)

not a good idea in my opinion.

pass does not affect your own pass or other chrono’s pass.

too many rank 1 circles does not make your build very good.

I do not think linker c1 is worth it in this case. Linker c2 is much better in my opinion. And is the reason why you see pyro c1>linker c2>chrono c3>sage. Ice wall+pp combo is only worth it with rune of ice.

I think this build will rely heavily on parties starting from level 200++. but if you have a set group of people playing with you it might be fine.

I am with you to, for this i will go to w>cryo3>link2>rc>sage idk if im missing kino on this.

From my experience subzero shield sometimes makes you reflect 50% of the damage taken.

Would wizard 3, cryo 1, linker 2, ff2 work?

As in, do the walls not die too fast if it’s just cryo 1, and will last enough to get linked and have the blood curse on them, amplifying the damage on boss by 7x on it?

I wouldn’t count on the Icewall -> Link -> Blood Curse combo unless you plan on going solo. In party play, even level 15 Icewall can break too fast.

Actually alot of builds take Linker1 since it has 6 links (gemmed), Linker2 has 8 links which is a very small increae.

I know pass doesnt affect your own pass lol, otherwise all chronos will have no CD. But having pass will mean you can use any sub 25 cd skill twice in 30 seconds.

You should not judge a build by how many rank1 circles it has, besides I have explained why you only need rank1 for Cryo, Psyko, Link.

For DPS, Cryo2/3 does not actually add much (skills scale badly and you get control spells more than anything). Chrono actually increases your DPS because of cooldown and arguably your support capability aswell.

BTW simply by not being an elememe or agny2 you will already be pushed to a support role by 200+.

but dont you think that being pushed to support role by 200+ is a bit too early?

And lets not forget that at level 273++ you get to rank 8 which is when you get chrono c3. Leaving no room for sage. Do not think that ice spike with JP and hangman’s knotted enemies will kill them effectively.

Not going 1 rank of rune caster seems like a waste to me. Right now, I feel that if you want to use a chrono build, it is pretty much mandatory that you follow meta.

And i do not judge a build by how many rank 1 circles it has as bad
I ran with this build

Would it work in solo/duo play though?

And would you consider wizard 3 cryo 1 linker 2 ff2 better then wiz1 pyro 2/3 link 2/3 ff2?

Im not sure if just one rank of linker could be enought because the damage having 2 more links helps a lot any build you have.

My build only uses 7 circles, last circle can be used for Sage or RC

Lol you will spend 1 circle for two links?
