New summons for the wizard are causing a stir in the community, so I tested them out. The new hybrid build with summons and existing skills boosted my single target damage. Using the right gems and gear, I saw a significant increase in damage. Full summon builds might become the new meta, but for now, we have plenty of viable builds in the game. Let's see how things develop! 🧙♂️⚔️🔥
Testing New Skills and Summons
Table of Contents
During my recent testing of the wizard's new skills and summons in Diablo Immortal, it became apparent that the community is not satisfied with the current summon modifiers for the wizard class. This prompted me to experiment with different combinations to maximize single target damage. Instead of focusing on a specific build, this exploration aims to determine the potential of hybrid gameplay with new and existing skills.
Previous Meta Analysis
Previously, I conducted a comprehensive analysis of the highest single target build for the wizard class prior to the latest update. Despite this, I acknowledge that my current legendary gems may not be optimal for maximizing damage output. Nonetheless, the previous meta build allowed me to achieve approximately 1.8 million damage after a minute of testing.
Transitioning to a Hybrid Build
To test the potential of a hybrid build combining existing skills with new summons, I made key alterations to the build. Most notably, I substituted the meteor skill with ice armor and replaced the essence transfer to synergize with new summons for enhanced damage.
| Skill Change | Previous | Hybrid |
|---|---|---|
| Meteor | Ice Armor | Ice Armor |
| Essence Transfer | Chaos Rupture | Dancing Lightning |
| Disr Shoulder | Meteor | Summon Beam |
Increased Damage Output
After implementing the hybrid build, the damage output increased significantly during testing. Within the first 10 seconds, I was able to deal an impressive 3 million damage by strategically utilizing the new summons and skills. This suggests that the hybrid build has the potential to surpass the previous maximum damage build in terms of single target damage.
Potential for Full Summon Builds
While my focus was on the hybrid build, I recognize the potential for even greater damage with a full summon build. Integrating the follow burden gem and maximizing summon damage bonuses from gear pieces could elevate the damage output even further. However, it's important to consider the overall balance of builds for different activities within the game before fully committing to a summon-focused build.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the new essences and summon modifiers have the potential to significantly impact the wizard's gameplay in Diablo Immortal. While the hybrid build has shown promise for increased single target damage, the full summon build may offer even more potential for maximizing damage output. However, the need for such high single target damage remains a question, particularly when considering the variety of available builds for different activities within the game.
As I continue to test and explore the new essences, I will be sharing more detailed guides and insights in the coming days. Stay tuned for further updates and have a great day in the world of Diablo Immortal! 🌟
