Guide for Riders of Icarus Wizard (UPDATED LEVEL 35)

By Leo Jiang2016-09-09

In Riders of Icarus, your gear Stat Prioritization should be as such:

M.Crit% up to 60%>M. Crit Dmg>Int>CDR up to 30%>M.Atk>CDR above 30%>M.Crit above 60%. Seal Prioritization: Venomous Casper (if you're loaded) Blue Bloodwyrm (M.Attack M.Crit %) Gilded Benthic (M. Crit% M. Crit Dmg.) For maximum effect level your familiars to max level before you seal them. Pet Scrolls: Golden Laiku, Kerav, Rondo, Taslan the Devourer, Blue Bloodwyrm

Land Mount: Venomous Caspert, Magma Hound

Air Mount: Golden Laiku, Any Griffion, Blue Bloodwyrm

 

You can go higher than 60% if you wish but should not prioritize it as highly beyond 60%.The reason you have M.Crit up to 60% as a priority and not further is because when it matters you will have a priest in the group which will get you to 75% crit and the ice buff explained below will bring you up to cap (95%) during your Ice Fang spam times.

Useful Skills that link  

(Linked skills = +10% damage, 3m range boost, faster charge time)

Ember/Frost Bomb link to Flame and Ice Barrage

Fire/Hail Storm link to Inferno/Glacial Meteor

 

Fire spells = M.atk at 4% per stack - total stacks up to 5

Ice spells = M.crit at 4% per stack - total stacks up to 5

Flameburst x3 = Ice Fang x5 w/ no cast time

 

There are also other abilities that work very well with each other as in they are supposed to be used together whenever possible. These abilities are Light Blast and Thunderstorm. When you cast Light Blast you give yourself a 5% and the 5 closest party members to you a 20% cast time reduction and you reduce your threat on the target by 30%, in addition if you cast thunderstorm immediately after Light Surge it's cast time is cut in half. Additionally Light surge gives you a cast time reduction buff of 5% per stack and can stack up to 5 times.

    Kills that go well together

    Light Blast = 5% cast time reduction to yourself + 5 closest party members 20% cast time reduction. 30% target threat level decrease. Then do Thunderstorm for faster cast.

     

    Dark Affliction + Gripping Curse = chance to fear + replenish 2.5% HP/Mana every 2 seconds for 120 seconds for you and party. Dark Ecstasy gives additional 1% HP/mana for 5 seconds. (Side effect: Decrease M.atk by 5% + increased cast time by 2%) - Should only be used when you need to replenish HP/mana for you and party.

     

    Casual Skill Rotation

     

    • Casual Rotation1 : Inferno Meteor>Fire Storm>FireBurst x3 (buff stack now 5)> Ember Bomb>Fire Barrage> Filler>Repeat
    • Casual Rotation 2: FireBurst x5 >Inferno Meteor>Fire Storm>Ember Bomb>Fire Barrage> Filler>Repeat
    • Dungeon Rotation: (Optional ThunderStorm >) Infernal Meteor>Glacial Meteor> (Optional Fire storm> Hail Storm) > Fire bomb>Frost bomb>Fire Barrage>Ice Barrage>FireBurst.
    • Mob Rotation: Ember Bomb>Frost Bomb>Fire Barrage>Ice Barrage>Fire Burst.

    Guide for Riders of Icarus Wizard

    Thunderstorm has a good ability to interrupt the mobs actions, which is useful when dealing with a bunch of trash mobs. Agro them up use Thunderstorm (or sometimes plan in advance and cast prior to agroing) the mobs end up piling up on the border of the AoE and ranged attacks are interrupted for the period. Making it easier to hit more mobs with AoE and increase dmg/mana cost/spells cast. May be used to help get the dmg the tank receives while tanking mob pack in a same fashion by interrupting mobs AA.
