This build has been deleted by the owner. It will be completely removed in the future if the owner doesn't revert the deletion. If you want to keep this build use the "Copy Build" function.
Strong aoe mage with a lot of CC. The single target damage is a little bit lacking but this build has a lot of aoe and crowd control.
Rank 8 Choice
Wizard 2 is pretty disapponting for a rank8 but this is a quality of life choice. You can opt for sage instead if you position well. Just taken for surespell and to make life easier as a caster.
Sage: Duplicate frost pillar and some more skills. Mainly support. Missile hole wil not protect your casting! Missile hole reduces ranged/missile attack to 1meaning that it will still stop your elementalist channeling. This is probably the best option if you can position your character so that you won't get hit.
RuneCaster: Not a good choice anymore. Ice blast got nerfed so that it will not work on multiple tiles anymore. Keep in mind though that ice blast can hit twice with frost pillar + icewall on top of each other. It will be impossible to use rune of justice/rune of destruction mid fight due to how long it takes to cast them.
Enchanter: Enchant lightning for role play. More lightning and you get a shop. 3rd best option.
Stats:
Get a minimum of 50 con and the rest into int. You decide if you need more con to survive as having 100 con is fine as well.
Armor & Weapon:
Always use plate armor. The higher level, the better. Now that they took magic amp away from gloves, you go full plate now.
Audra (lv170): Staple weapon of a cryomancer. This is a must have and it will be used to extend the duration of frost pillar and for the freezing effect. You need to weapon swap for a stronger weapon after you frost pillar.
Rod vs staff?
Staff generally has more M.atk than rod, but rod allows you to wear a shield or a dagger. I prefer the rod + shield for protection but any works fine.
Hunting ground Rod/staff (lv315): Decent weapon until you get a heart of glory.
Windia rod (Lv315): If you don't want to farm for heart of glory then this can be an end game weapon.
Heart of glory (Lv315): End game rod goal.
Emengard shield (Lv 315): End game shield goal. This shield is broken statwise.
Attributes (listed in order of importance):
Get each one to 50 first then start raising in this order. I will only list the damage ones. I recommend you raise them evenly by 10 levels.
Also make sure you do NOT get the cryomancer cryorite attribute. It extends ice wall's cooldown
Hail > Electrocute >Frost cloud >Ice blast > Freezing sphere
Skill combinations:
Ice wall + electrocute + rain
Ice wall + frost pillar + ice blast
Frost pillar + frost cloud + hail
Frost pillar + ice blast

This one is better for farming but not so great for ET. Wiz3ele3warlock2 is better for et but can't farm at all.
Sage is better for supporting. You get missile hole (really strong support skill) and micro dimension to duplicate your frost pillar. It doesn't provide any damage though. oh and you also get blink.
If you can deal with the interruptions/ position well then sage is a better pick. If you don't want to deal with it then go wiz2 for surespell.
For solo wiz2 would be better since you won't have anyone to take aggro for you.
In a team setting /et sage is better since you will have more utility
Like telling people what are the STATS? int, con? also what are the attributes to improve?
:( thanks.
I'll make the guide more detailed by 5/27/17
But i dont know what attributes to upgrade? or learn wizzard, cryomancer etc, hope you can update n.n
50-100 con is good. Its whatever you prefer.
For attributes just make sure you max out the passive that gives extra benefits. The only bad passive is the cryomancer ice wall passive that generates cryorite. It adds +10s or 15s to the CD. Skip that one
There are no limits for spending money on attributes?
sorry for many questions.
There is no limit besides how much silver you have
Sorry for my english
The strike debuff is for other people. There will be a time when you get a murm/monk/inquisitor in your party and it will greatly boost their damage. Its pretty useless for yourself. If you really don't care too much about using lethargy then you can just leave it at lv 1 (strike debuff requirement), but there isn't really anything else you can get thats worthwhile. Also your english is fine.
Alright i finally rewrote teh guide. Sorry that it took longer than expected
Well archers should still stop your cast because missile hole makes missile damage deal 1 damage. I know wizard2 sounds disappointing and for the longest time I tried sage/enchanter but imo you cannot skip it. The elementalist skills get canceled too easily since the cast time is slow.
I love Cryo3 and just tried put Cryo3 Ele3 (with no Wi2's Surespell) in my R7 character.
it's ANNOYING if you're a main DPS and no pelt in party, which mean monsters will always take you as their prior target and you have a lower change to cast long-casting time spells. lol
also at dun 260, Elet (the annoying Ice type monsters) got themselves healed when we used every ice type magics (except Electrocute, Sleep, Energy bolt and Earthquake)
