Some builds for my mages

Class and Rank Wizard

Hey there!

I just wanted to have opinions about my 2 mages because I’m a little confused. My first mage actually is ele1 wiz 2 link 1 and I think I will go ele 3 link 1 wiz 3 for rank8 should I pick enchant and make a build of electricity?

My second mage pyro 1 link 1 I would like to play sorc but I LOVE so much pyro and I read that you don’t need c3 for sorc because the mp. So if I pick pyro c3 what can I pick before sage? Or if I go for sorc should I pick linker c2 instead pyro c2?

Thanks in advance :smile_cat:

Link2 is always better than pyro2-3, specially in endgame. SAge can multiply fireballs, but they do damage to each other and quickly disappear, so it only works on paperl. Make wiz-pyro1-link2-sorc2 and whatever.

Could be good sorcerer c3 plus sage? Sages can increase The Number Of bats

Fireball target priority is based on proximity to caster. The caster just needs to be closer to enemies than their fireballs for it to work effectively.

Do you have a video to show this? I’m interested in how this works. In what scenario do you consider for example? Multiple monsters clustered together that it will prioritise hitting certain enemies? Or do you mean that after 5 fireballs and above, as long as you stand as you claimed, my fireballs will still be able to attack the target?

I don’t have a video, and my upload is bad enough that i wouldn’t want to kill my internet for a day to do it. I’ll try my best to give example scenarios. If you have a pyro its pretty easy to test this stuff.

Basically Fireballs don’t follow the rules of normal aoes. Normally aoes would prioritize targets based on the highest aoe defense ratio of enemies. Which means the fireballs exploding endlessly on themselves would only occur when fighting against aoe defense ratio 1 mobs. Since the fireballs themselves only have an aoe defense ratio of 1. However it becomes immediately clear when stacking a ton of fireballs against a boss this isn’t the case.

An example of how it really works would be if you have 2 medium melee mobs and 1 large ranged mob. Placing one fireball on the ranged mob, and then moving a bit away so the two melees are you closest enemies causes only the two melee mobs to take damage(Fireballs have a locked aoe attack ratio of 4). Even though the ranged mob is literally standing on a fireball and has higher aoe defense ratio it will still prioritize the melee mobs next to the caster.

Another example is a boss fight. If a pyro stacks 10 fireballs then pushs them all into the boss. Its going to do almost no damage. Since in that scenario only if the boss moves through the fireballs to be closer to you is it going to start doing damage. Alternatively if you have someone else hit the fireballs in while you stand on the opposite side of the boss. All of the fireballs will deal maximum damage.

3rd example is when i play my pyro3 thaum3, I already have to deal with this positioning all the time. Since i shrink mobs down to aoe defense ratio 1. The difference between me hitting 3 or 4 mobs depends if i can get a mob to trigger my double fireballs while im closer to them while the other ones surround me. If i can’t get it perfectly I need to distribute the damage to those with the highest hp. So i don’t end up with 3 dead mobs and one mob at 3/4 hp. So i move closest to the current highest hp enemy to make sure it gets hit.
