Hello everyone, what I bring to you today is a guide for novice wizards in "Diablo 4". If you want to understand a profession, you must start with skills. First of all, let me say something here. Since in the current version of Diablo 4, the wizard's electric and fire schools are basically unplayable, so for the wizard's strategy tutorial, I will only talk about the ice magic school, and I will wait for Blizzard's follow-up design. When the teacher strengthens or redesigns other genres, he will consider related strategies.
Frost bombs and fire bombs each have one level. Frost bombs are used for early output, and fire bombs are used for enchantment. The enchantment will be explained in detail next.
Ice Shards in the core skill is the main output skill of Ice Mage. After reaching level 5, its strengthening branch can choose strengthened ice fragments and powerful ice fragments. The combination of the two can make the ice fragments hundreds of times when there is a barrier. 100% ejection, very efficient in clearing monsters
The picture shows the author's screenshot of my level 80 ice spell skill. Sharp-eyed friends may have noticed that there is an enchantment effect at the bottom of my ice fragments, and this enchantment effect is the mage's enchantment system.
To unlock the enchantment system, you must first reach level 15 and complete the mission "The Witcher: The Mage's Legacy". The specific location is as shown below
After completion, press "S" to open the skill interface
The two slots below are the wizard's enchantment slots, and skills can be dragged into them to obtain additional effects. Here I recommend the Ice Shard Enchantment and the Fire Bullet Enchantment.
Fire bomb enchantment is very simple. It only provides additional damage and additional burning effects. It can be combined with certain skills and entries.
The enchantment of ice fragments is the core mechanism of ice magic.
After freezing the enemy, you can automatically summon ice fragments to attack the enemy without consuming mana. In addition, with the strengthening effect of ice fragments, attacking frozen enemies will be ejected, so you can quickly clear monsters.
As for the two passive skills, Extinction and Elemental Dominance , they are considered to be added when it is quickly formed. You can not use them in the early stage. After the active skills are completed, you can first increase the Elemental Control points. You can only level up Extinction.
The four defensive skills of the mage are all good skills. In the land reclamation stage, it is recommended to add one level each of teleportation , ice armor and frost nova . Later, if you choose to strengthen the branch teleportation, you will get 30% damage reduction. If you choose ice armor, you will be vulnerable to damage. Enemies dealing damage will increase their shields, and the Frost Nova option makes enemies vulnerable.
Displacement skills, all displacement skills are easy to use
Provides a shield. There is not much pressure to survive in the early stage. The shield provided by the ice armor can survive, so you can not use the fire shield in the early stage.
Group freeze, the field control skill of the mage, is also the best partner for ice fragments. A frost nova combined with enchanted ice fragments can clear a wave of monsters. My recommendation here is level 1. The full-level frost nova has a CD reduction of 4 seconds. It’s also possible, it’s up to you to choose
It is recommended to have the passive skills Elemental Harmony and Glass Cannon maxed out, or the Elemental Harmony Level 1 Glass Cannon to be maxed out.
There is nothing to say about the damage-increasing passive of the glass cannon. Elemental Harmony is a critical hit that triggers a lucky hit and can refresh a defensive skill. No matter which one you refresh, you will not lose. If you click on the first level, the screen luck will be refreshed.
Only the passive skill Precision Magic is useful. When it is full, it provides a 15% chance of a lucky hit. It can be used with the elemental reconciliation in the defense skill to refresh the skill.
During the early stage of land reclamation, only the passive skill Rapid Freeze is useful for control skills. Click level 1 Ice Curtain to unlock Rapid Freeze.
Trigger freeze to automatically summon ice shards
As for the Inner Fire and Devouring Flames in my picture, don’t click on them. You need specific equipment in the later stage to use them.
The ultimate skill is deep freeze, also known as "freezer"
The mage's life-saving skills. If you run out of blood and mana, put it in the refrigerator and wait for a while.
The four passive skills: Eternal Frost , Touch of Ice , Frost Disaster , and Biting Cold Wind can all be used and can be fully charged. The first three are to increase damage, and Biting Cold Wind is used to restore mana. In the early stage, You can fill it up first. Later, when you get more mana, you can stop clicking it.
It is also a mana regeneration passive, but it is more versatile than the biting cold wind, because the enchantment I recommend is the fire bullet enchantment. The direct damage of the skill will burn the monster damage, so you can get the effect of burning damage or gain. This Passivity is one of them
Because the BOSS does not eat freezes, many of the frost damage increases of the Ice Mage cannot be triggered. Therefore, the efficiency of the Ice Mage against the BOSS is relatively low. It is enough to clear the mobs and elite monsters and use the Frost Nova to trigger the Ice Shards. Therefore, Key Passive Recommendation Point Avalanche
Avalanche has a chance to make the next ice fragment costless and increase the damage by 40%, and all frost skills have a chance to trigger avalanche, so if you are lucky, you can place several ice fragments in a row when fighting the boss. For fighting the boss The efficiency will be greatly improved.
The above is the analysis of the skills of the ice magic school. For the profession of ice magic, the experience can be said in one word: cool.
It has a very high intensity in the early stage. If you keep pushing the main line, there is a high probability that you will not get stuck on the boss. I am a level 38 solo player who has completed the main line. The whole process is not too difficult.
In the middle and late stages, after entering World 3 and World 4 difficulty, the pain point of Ice Mage in defeating BOSS that cannot be frozen will become more and more obvious. However, with the support of better equipment, Ice Mage can clear the mobs and kill enemies. In the case of elite monsters, they have extremely high efficiency that other professions do not have, and in difficult dungeons and when the pressure to survive is relatively high, the field control of the Ice Mage is of great help in pushing the map.
Therefore, in the mid-to-late stage equipment farming promotion map, I recommend teaming up with my good brothers to farm together. Not only will it be more efficient, but the farming will also be more comfortable.
The above is the author’s introduction to the skills of the Ice Mage genre. The next article will talk about the equipment power selection of Ice Mage and the recommendations for adding peak points. thank you for watching
