[Wizard] Combat System Changes Review (Part 1 - Rank 1 to 3)

This post will be updated from time to time, but let’s start with Wizard first.

:boom: = Highlighted Change

Wizard

Source: https://tos-ktest.neet.tv/skills?cls=Char2_1&f=1

  • Energy Bolt

Skill Factors = 192 + 9.6 × ([Skill Level] - 1) @ 326.4% at Level15
Hit Count = 2
Overheat = 3
Damage ~ 23326.4 = 1958.4% in 9s
Attribute: When Enemy on Sleep, can 40% x lv3 = 120% bonus damage.

Comment: Number looks good on paper, but take too much casting time and animation. But it looks solid when most major skills on downtime (especially for Wiz C3 Necro build)

  • Lethargy :boom:

Atk/Matk Debuff value = ( 5 + ([Skill Level] × 3) + [Character INT] × ([Skill Level] / 15) )
Attribute Lethargy: Enhance +1% per level, max 50% apply on above value.

Comment: I think we mislooked this skill in the ktest, it now scale 1:1 at lv15 to INT, the most beneficial class is Thaumaturge. The formula seem like full INT C3 Thaumaturge can debuff more than -1000 atk/matk, this indirectly strengthen the role of Thaumaturge, +AllyDef and -EnemyAtk which now make significant game change in Atk/Def log scale down.

  • Sleep :boom:

Duration = rounddown(4 + ([Skill Level] - 1) × 0.2) @ 6s at Max15
Comment: It seem lv1 already have 4s and each level only add 0.2s, which made lv15 is not mandatory anymore. Somemore there is rounddown in formula, at level 15 you only got 6.8s got rounddowned to 6s, either get a gem to lv16 for 7s or just put lv11 for 6s or lv6 for 5s.

  • Reflect Shield

Reflected Damage = (5 + ([Skill Level] - 1) × 5) + SPR
Reflect Count = RoundDown(2 + 0.5 × ([Skill Level]-1)) @ 9 times at Level15
Attribute also same +1 damage per level

Comment: Nothing is changed, still bad even full SPR build but at least something good for Summoner Class.

  • Earthquake

Skill Factors = 240 + 12 × ([Skill Level] - 1) @ 408% at Level15

Comment: Left it at lv1

  • Sure Spell

Comment: Nothing is change

  • Magic Missile

Skill Factors = 160 + 10.2 × ([Skill Level] - 1) @ 200.8% at Level5
Hit Count = 3
Overheat = 2
Comment: I think nothing much bring change to gameplay, good low level skill + very strong with Joint Penalty, the skill factor just make it more viable in higher level with JP.

  • Quick Cast

Comment: Nothing is change, but it seem the attribute is missing in K-TEST? Is it intended or bugged?
If intended then it is MAJOR hit to Wizard Tree, it might be good news and bad news, it is good for rebalance but it may be bad wiz c2 and c3 became useless as compare to Pyro C1 fireballs have 16hits on Level1

Pyromancer

Pyromancer is the class that can dish highest hit counts and highest number of spells in 10s with low cooldown, they are still very solid as Rank S DPS dealer as long as your teammate know what to do with your ball (fireball).

  • Fireball :boom:

Skill Factor = 106 + 6 × ([Skill Level] - 1) @ 190% Max
Hit Count = 16 hits at all level
Overheat = 2

Comment: The bread and butter skill for Pyro, the hit count eased Pyromancer C2-3 skill distribution and make them much more better.
Fireballs skill factors is below average, but the hit counts, synergy with Joint Penalty or Micro Dimension or Pass, Agny Necklace, and low cooldown actually still remain it above average.

  • Firewall

Skill Factor = 181 + 10.3 × ([Skill Level] - 1) @ 325.2% Maxlv15
Tile = RoundDown(1 + [Skill Level] × 0.5) @ 8 Maxlv15 and 9Maxlv16
Hit/Tile = 2 + [Skill Level] @ 17 Maxlv15 and 18Maxlv16
136 Hits at Lv15 and 144 Hits at Lv16 (Hits reduce by AoE Defense Ratio and diminish on Water Type Monster)

Comment: Very solid skill as usual, SF is above average with Agny, godlike synergy with JP+HK, just max it if going C3 and get a Firewall gem.

  • Enchant Fire

value = 33 + 3*([Skill Level]-1) + Matk*([Skill Level]/15)
Comment: Maximum 15% of Matk, seems quite OP with Thaum3 Swell Brain +30% Matk and +80% Matk from x8 Chapparition Cards.

  • Flare

Skill Factor = 302 + 17.2 × ([Skill Level] - 1) @ 542.8% Max
Hit Count = 1?
Comment: I think still pretty useless skill due to only apply on burn target.

  • Flameground

Skill Factor = 98 + 5.6 × ([Skill Level] - 1) @ 182%
Duration = 15s ~ 30s

Comment: Still below average, but as supplementary skill can be powerful when use Enchanter Scroll for double flameground with Agny.

  • Firepillar

value = 171 + 10.9 × ([Skill Level] - 1) @ 323.6% Max
Duration = 7s ~ 17s
Hit Count = 2 hits per 1s @ 34 hits Max

Comment: Quite strong Skill Factor together with hit count, but ability to immobilize mobs is pretty useful in intensive contents.

  • Hellbreath

Skill Factor = 273 + 19.5 × ([Skill Level] - 1) @ 351% Max
Hit Count = 1 hit per 0.8s until SP deplete

Comment: Fix Casting skill, the debuff is useful but you have more better things to do than stand still there.

I’m happy to see Lethargy is actually useful now (outside of the striking debuff), they just need to do the same with Reflect Shield as well. Thank you, I look forward to more!

Time to SLEEP > Lethargy > Cast AOE Skill… hahaha…

Gonna be TOP DPS…

Looks like sleep was actually nerfed to have less duration now, 6sec at lv15

You are right, it seem lv1 already have 4s and each level only add 0.2s, which made lv15 is not mandatory anymore. Somemore there is rounddown in formula, at level 15 you only got 6.8s got rounddowned to 6s, either get a gem to lv16 for 7s or just put lv11 for 6s.

Wow they buffed Lethargy to something truly useful lol

the story of my life, sleep is for the weak…

oh! wait…

you were talking about the skill, never mind then :sleeping:

kino seems pretty strong. Seeing how the skill attributes like stun and even its own “surespell” attributes do not increase cooldowns but only increase sp consumption.

If this doesn’t change by the time it arrives iTOS, I can finally get rid of Wiz2 on my Kino3 RC! :heart_eyes: The only reason I kept Surespell instead picking Concentration attributes is the extra cooldowns.

Many changes happening today on ktest.

Pyro is dead, as some Cleric magic classes.

What do you mean with “dead”? @satoru

Signature move Fireball now only does 1 (one) hit at any lv of the skill with latest, as of today, ktest patch. Paired that with the agny constant 50% added to all skills, pyros are on suicide watch. I raugh.

Been a Pyro C3 Sorc C3 since the beginning back when all anyone gave a fuk about was Ele Meme or Cryo C3 Sorc C3’s.

This is no biggie to me.

I dont think warlock is that good class cause his damage isnt that huge eveb huge but dt only can hit one mob death withour link and skills have really long cd. If im wrong anyone can suggest me.

OP it’s time to update this thread to reflect pyro nerfs

I wanted to update, but I afraid too many drastic changes :joy:

So I gonna just put down those links, so in future easier for reference.

I heard thad w3 quick cast doesnt gaint 50percent damage anymore is that real

yes. it is true with regards to latest tos neet notes

Without that 50% damage from QC, wiz3 is no more atractive
