Pyro damage in a pyro/chrono build

Thaum offers flat damage, why would you go thaum when you can go chrono 3?
Pyro 3 honestly offers nothing to the table other than enhanced fireball.

#22

Because Chrono is a support role, and thaum has heavy wizard buffs.

refer to this [Guide] Mage Builds General Discussion đŸ’„
for everything wizard related.

#24

Did anyone try Pyro2>Linker1>Chrono3 yet?

Does the extra utility make up for the loss of DPS?

#25

having all those buffs and debuffs and being able to link enemies will make up for the loss of dps imo

#26

Support cannot make up for DPS, as they are 2 entirely different roles. Just like DPS cannot make up for lack of support. If you’re gonna support, then cyro/chrono. If you’re gonna dps, then wiz 3 ele 3 warlock or Pyro 3 thau 2 warlock. If you try to mix them up and get both, you’re gonna be far worse at both roles as a wizard class. Clerics are the only class that can get away with having high dps and good support.

To the guy who doesn’t know why you would pick Pyro 3. It’s because 5 more into fireball, flame pillar and flame ground is significant damage. The raw damage from Thau is on a per hit basis, so you have all of those, plus the warlock per hit skills and that equals an enormous amount of damage. I’m approaching max level with that build and I’m not having any issues keeping my DPS extremely high. The only issue stems from the melee who decide not to group up and knock your fireballs around in different directions.

I understand your reasoning but your example isn’t great. You say DPS and support don’t mix then mention your build has Thau2 lol.

Thau and Linkers are classes that increase your damage despite being “support” classes. The same can be said for Chrono to a lesser extent.

#28

My example is perfectly fine. If you went Pyro, your options are limited. It’s as simple as that. Linker 2 was nerfed and isn’t great anymore and you’re really left with only a few viable choices. Thau 2 boosts your damage significantly, far more than anything else would. It also allows for quicker leveling and double loot drops via swell body. If you want to go chrono, the only real option is to go all the way to 3, and it still doesn’t do that much for your own personal dps, since you had to give up Pyro 3 or warlock for it.

There’s a reason you don’t see most supports take Thau. It’s because it’s not very supportive, at least compared to cryo and chrono. That’s because it’s more of a filler for Pyro dps.

#29

usually people would get thaum if they’re going alchemist or going the OpOp Melee physical damage wizard.

#30

Exactly. You take Thau as a Pyro to supplement your own damage.

#31

That’s exactly the point of my previous post, not sure why you disagreed with it lol.

lol

#32

I disagreed because Thau 2 is also support, though not as supporty as chrono or cryo. Even if you’re getting it for selfish reasons, it still supports your entire party.
