I tested this build before, and I think for it to work smoothly without QC/Surespell you might need to go outta the common way a bit. IMO it’s better to focus on maxing quick casting skills like Prominence, Freezing Sphere and Meteor (lv1-2 only), combo with Pyro skills for explosion attribute + WL skills for, you know, godly damage? Electrocute and Hail have desirable damage, sure, but I think it’d be a waste if you take too long casting them (IF you succeed tho, plus their cd), compared to the other instant casting skills.
In the end I didn’t stick with it tho, since I found another build more enjoyable to me. I have no experience in ET yet so I can’t tell for sure what would work best there, among the DPS wizard builds I’ve tried, I find those 4 builds most viable:
-
Pyro2Ele3WL2: Already spoke about it.
-
Pyro2>Thauma3>Warlock2. My main’s build. Thauma’s buffs are amazingly strong and flexible in almost every situation. Now not only do I have decent solo power, but I’m also highly wanted in pt.
-
Elememe: It’s meta for a good reason. Really sweet dmg, even smoother kill than Pyro2Thau3WL2 due to more skills that could kill effectively without needed to press much buffing beforehand.
Rolling between skills is such a piece of mind too since basically you just need to spam DPS skills, skill order doesn’t matter except for Rain -> Hail -> Electro combo (and even if you messed up this order the dmg is still decent anyway).
-
W2>Link1>Ele3>FF2: Can cover both bossing and AoE dmg. Bloodsuck increases your chance of survival as well. Personally I prefer this way more than the meta farming build W2>Link2>Thau2>FF2. At least when JP is on cd I have other things to do.
