What about Wiz3+Pyro3?
Pyro is often brushed off as a terrible damage dealer “late-game”, but I think that’s an overexaggeration.
Multi-hit moves are serious business in TOS, and Pyro has plenty of multi-hit skills (you’re not just increasing the damage with each skill level, but getting additional hits as well).
It doesn’t “suck” per-se, the “issue” is that Pyro cannot burst all its damage, it takes setup and time to deal the damage.
Boosting it with Quickcast would be interesting.
Other free rank could be used for an R7 class or anything else that’s useful at c1, with Linker coming to mind as the notable option.
The flaw in this that I can see is that Surespell or the cast-reduction of Quickcast aren’t of any use (or does Hell Breath get comfier with it?) unless the 7th rank is a classs that does.
I wonder how this fares when compared to Wiz3+Kino3 (well besides missing the quality CC of course), rather than jumping right to no-contest Elememe3 for comparisons…
