it depends, but mosty, elementarist 3 does the highest aoe dps, i think
You have any link of a good build?
Go here and play around! There are also public builds you can look at.
In my opinion, I don’t believe there is a “one size fits all build” for any class. You need to look at your personal playing style. Also, the attributes, masteries, and weapon/ gear you use can have a big effect on damage output.
I know all those things influence but there should be one more ideal class
That’s my build. Dont think it’s something special, but it will do the job. About this build:
Wizard Rank 3
I chose to go for lvl 3 wizard rank, since it gives you quick cast and surespell. This is very important for elementalist in my opinion, since you have long cast times, which is especially deadly during boss fights. Also the passive skill “Quick-Cast: Magic Damage” increases your Magic Damage by 50% on lvl 5. So you will have 50% faster cast speed and 50% more magic damage for 8 seconds (and the skill itself has 13s cooldown). And thanks to lvl 5 surespell, no enemy can interrupt you. Btw.: Surespell at lvl 5 has 15s duration and the cooldown is also 15s, making you immune to any interruption.
Furthermore, I chose to max earthquake and energy bolt, since those skills are quite useful at the beginning. Sleep and Lethargy are useless in my opinion. Sleep does not work on bosses and bosses aren’t much of a challange at the beginning anyway, so Lethargy is also kinda SP waste.
And with Magic Missle you have another attack spell at the beginning.
Combine all those attack spells and you will always have an attack spell ready during combat. If you have enough SP/SP Potions, you will outdamage most other classes in your early game already.
Elementalist Rank 3
That’s where the real damage starts. The cool thing about elementalist is, that there is alot of synergy between spells, further increasing your damage.
Meteor is an obvious choice. You will literally one-shot all small fries on the battlefield and thanks to quick cast, you are able to bring out that spell before enemies walk out of the circle and you will do even more damage. Even if you are surrounded by enemies, you can just cast the meteor on yourself and enemies won’t be able to interrupt you (thanks surespell). And if you get the passive skill “explosion”, there is a chance that meteor will trigger splash damage when an enemy dies from it. The only downside is the cooldown of 90s, so you heavily depend on other spells as well.
Hail is also quite the nice skill. It only has 45s cooldown (compared to Meteor quite low) and does tons of damage over time. It has a good AoE and every hail that comes down has the chance to freeze enemies if you have learned the passive. And if you destroy an enemy, there is also a chance to slow all surrounding enemies for 6 seconds thanks to the elementalist passive. So this is really good for crown control. And the best thing is: Once casted, it hails for 20seconds at lvl 15! Really hurts the enemy.
Electrocute is a nice AoE spell that kills large groups of monsters easily. Up to 9 enemies get hit by this thing.
Rain is a really unique spell with several effects. First, it does damage (not as high as the other spells, but ok). Second, it slows down all effected enemies and third (most important) it increases Lightning property damage by 35%! That means your electrocute will do even more damage. Combine Rain with hail and your enemies will cry, since the freeze status effect and rain stack, increasing your electrocute damage even more (+quick cast damage increase).
Fazit
All in all this is a pure damage build. You pump most of your stats in int and only some in spirit. You will heavily depend on sp potions, which is quite expensive and bosses tend to 2- or 3-shot you (you are a glasscannon after all). Furthermore, you will really start to shine quite late (rank 4, when becoming elementalist) and will be much weaker then other wizard classes like Pyromantist. But once you made it to elementalist with quick cast and surespell, you hit like a truck and the numbers you will see will totally be worth it I guess.
Okay, I see, thanks!
I think having a point lethargy and a few points in sleep would b better, seeing as lethargy can double earthquake damage and sleep gives magic missile extra shoots , useful for kiling normal monsters , but not very much for bosses
How would you distribute your stats? I’m currently level 32 and I have massive sp problems, INT is currently at 33 and SPR is around 30. Should I keep investing in spr or maybe even reset my stats, go full spr and add a little int and con later?
Just as a pointer.
You will have trouble to level withotu a party.
Without any good AoE or dps skills, wizz 2c is really not nice xD.
SPR is normal. The highe rthe skills the more sp they use.
Some skills scale well.
Like Flame Wall or Flame Ground or Flare.
As they’re hit based on x.
After using a ground flame for 160 sp. I got an AoE field which does dps for 21 seconds. Each tick = my magic atk.
Flame wall does x atks per tile. Which is based on your magic atk too.
And in fact. I kept energy bolt at 1. So that i have something to spam, when i am in a party and i dont need to run for my dear life when i mob in a dungeon.
Skills like Energy bolt scale badly with sp. They scale better with your magic atk.
Your main source of magic atk is your weapon! At least at lower levels~ (GO UPGRADE IT to+5, better get a weapon that’s nice. The staff for level 1 with +5int + 1 aoe ratio. Can be upped to level 10 for about 20k silver if your lucky. 80 Magic dps~)
I would advise you to go either half int half spr. Or 1 int and 2 spr.
I did 2 int 1 spr and i’m not so happy about my SPR pool. Even while preserving it.
An single flameground, if i need to spam it somewhere and cant sit down. Costs as much sp as a small sp potion …
Can kill mutliple batches of enemys if enough are dragged and lured into it.
But heck … it’s costly xD.
I would suggest to look at your skills sp usage. The dps they do. And then you should either decide which skills are worth in a situation. And which should be used when sp is overflowing.
You cannot freeze bosses no? They can get burn but they cant get frozen right?
Still not sure what to make xD
Think ill do WIZ-WIZ-LINKER-ELE-ELE-ELE
Why Wiz Wiz Linker? Seems like a waste to me, since having 2 ranks in wiz doesnt provide any benefits. The only advantage in going for wiz is getting quick cast with its passive. Surespell isn’t good enough to waste a rank and the other spells from wiz are also neglectable. And having 1 rank in linker is OK, but you won’t benefit much from this either.
The thing is: Are you going to play solo only or are you willing to party with some other people? If you do party with others, you can go for maximum damage and leave the linker job to someone else.
Then I should go wiz wiz wiz ele ele ele right?
I will like to also add cyromancer has a passive that increase dmg done to frozen targets by 50% which stacks with elementalist electrocute passive (stacking up to 150% bonus damage). cyromancer spells also offer a more reliable freeze out side hail. you dont have sure cast but with more reliable freezes you can still get meteor out (frozen creatures can’t say no after all).
also it will be nice if someone confirm whether bosses can be frozen. cause if you cannot freeze bosses, you will not be able to utilize the dmg bonus from electrocute. i also wonder if petrify targets take extra damage from fire (like RO’s Stone Curse+Double Cast Fire Bolt).
As far as I know bosses can’t be frozen. Most spells which immobilize enemies do not work on bosses, since you could create a party of lets say 4 wizard characters which cast sleep or freeze nonstop, making it to easy to kill a boss.
Also dont forget that wizard rank 3 quick cast gives you +50% magic damage and lets you cast spells like meteor much faster. And this bonus damage scales with ALL spells you have (including meteor), while the freeze only works for electrocute and ONLY if you can actually freeze the enemy. So I think quick cast is much more reliable for elementalist then some low level cryo spells. Here is my overworked build btw.
Personally, I think that Wiz, Cryo, Cryo, Ele, Ele, Ele would be a bit better for a nuking class because the cryo wall has aoe damage
I did wizard c3. Was still easier than my cleric C3 xD
xD
I took cleric, krivis, priest.
Free dex, crit atk and 100% crit chance against bosses with krivis and priest skills.
-Def skill on boss.
-cri resits skill on boss.
+crit atk skill on me
+dex (1,3 my dex+10) on me
+some crit atk from weapon gems and glvoe gems.
I do 250 crit atk at level 43.
Got like 170 dps, which crits then for 510 max.
And enemys get -40~60 def reducction.
I auto atk them to death and my pet crits 100% of the time too now.
It will be a hard ride to farm to monk level. Sadly i wont do this in icbt2. Not worth xD.

Is fade nice?
I tought about going cleric 3 just for fade… would make your high dps chars in a party, not aggro bosses hardcore.
When the tanky class fails to keep aggro.
Only tested out how much ds i could do.
