Got lucky and earned some zeny and decided to try a magic class and would like to hear your experiences with the sorc class and its potential.

I would like to know how good the skills are right now, like if I only have the budget for one build what would you recommend?

A. Psywave
-neutral, boosted by survivor rod and shoes and can change element

B. DD
-with KOSC and 2 sk ring it will have no cooldown no?and no fct @ lvl 5 and instacast is possible
-+15 lacryma and pororoca with the kosc and skring for damage boosting

C. Varetyr spear
-kinda confused about this skill as its a wind property and 2018 posts mentioned the magic part is not boosted by elvira?is this true?
-errrr 4x true celia alde valk knife?does survivor wind damage bonus also boost this skill?



Let me hear ypur thoughts pls, no plan of doing bio5 as i have heard the class is not that viable for bio5 (my gx covers my bio5 run) so sky fortress,ogh, ntf and Gt instances? The class' sprite really looks dope so i badly want to make one

any build can fit all of them, you just need the specialized gears to extract the maximum potential of each, and that's up to each one's preference.

For Varetyr Spear, Wind Magic damage will boost it's attack portion. To increase the magic portion you need neutral magic damage%. Don't ask me why it's like this, it just is '-'


Don't forget that most skills still have 1s delay, and for true spam of them, you need to get aftercast delay reduction, even if you completely remove their cooldown.

It seems like Elemental modifier is applied twice in Varetry Spear damage formula. So, it does hit hard on water lvl4 especially with Water Insignia and Whirlwind.

My sorc is level 100 with striking/endow tornado maxed and my varetyr is doing 50k average @instacast, how can I improve this?

Summon ventus2

+10 KOSC (no card)
Mob set (sunnies no card yet)
+12 4x T.celia Valk knife
+12 MBS
+11 cloak of survival (no card)
+11 flattery int2/int2
2x Elvira King of spirit ring
+7 survivor shoes

Get more INT. Change hat to a matk hat, mdef ignore doesn't affect Varetyr much (Celine's Ribbon, RWC hat, etc).

 

Temporal INT boots instead of Survivor Shoes if you get 120 INT, slotted with Nightmare Verit for consistent boost or enchanted with Runaway Magic for random boost.

 

Excelion Shield I guess if you want better dmg boost from shield.

 

If you want dmg from a new garment card, Rockridge Arclouze or Antique Book.

 

Other boosts I can think of are pretty minor like weakened fenrir, agav card, etc. Remember wind magic% boosts actually boost physical part which is much smaller part of dmg.

For varetyr what should i prioritize? +int/matk/matk%?

all of them


Is there a feature/technique in-game for elementals not to be targeted after flywing?ventus allows me to instacast as It removes fct, but it keeps on dying even though I spam flywing.

I focused on varetryr as Valk knife is cheap and Celia alde cards only cost 70m each lmao

Kill the mobs before they target your summon or walk around more so you are focused
