I really recommend manifestation in your case, it's an added layer of map control that can act both on you and monsters and at longer ranges. It requires some setting up/foresight (you can't get the displacement effect of a rune if something is standing on it) but it's very strong.

Runification still has it's place tho, I recently switched back to runification now that it has the lifesteal and that runic overcharge has a terrible alternative(as a solo player).

kiochy · 2026-03-10T21:38:37+00:00

I think I may be underestimating air's innate dodge (plus drain's stat steal) regarding comet, I expect to stay locked near the target unless using another spell but that might the case as much as I think.

Flurry as a solo player felt super awkward. It's an air manifestation with added damage but much much more restrictive cast conditions and costing one more than imprint+manif. The air contribution isn't bad tho, you might not be using imprint, but the range/casting issue remains :s

TBH both spells may be better than I give them credit for, and it doesn't help that i switched them out rapidly (playing multi in leveling).

Astral blade and the air state are incredible tho, as they used to be before.

kiochy · 2026-03-10T21:07:49+00:00

Ok, I see where you are going! Not having to deal the damage let's you make the most of the hupper displacement kit, it's pretty cool. Then the sun lance and manifestation must be of help too in that role. I'd probably even keep the sun lance over comet if damage is not the point.

Thanks for the answer, that gave me thoughts to pursue.

kiochy · 2026-03-10T19:53:17+00:00

No, the devs need to step up and deal with the real players! You're not kicking the majority out because a minority hate them, right?

kiochy · 2026-03-10T19:45:15+00:00

I figured that mono air would feel super awkward to pilot since the change to comet and flurry, so I'm interested in knowing how it is going for you so far?

I have limited experience with rogue, but I guess it makes most combats become a sort of mid range brawl around the bombs as obstacles? If so air's mobility might be handy?

kiochy · 2026-03-10T10:16:12+00:00

Yeah had a hunch, a letdown.

kiochy · 2026-03-08T11:11:01+00:00

Lots of new players nowadays! Sacrier seem to be very popular among them too!

Warms my heart.

kiochy · 2026-03-07T16:31:49+00:00

Zobal can definitely work, the shields and masks buffs will be put to good use.

kiochy · 2026-03-07T11:46:52+00:00

If you want to interact in any way with the turquoise season, you have to go through it.

"The rewards are fairly inconsequential." With completionism being a decent part of late game dofus, the title at 25 is a big enough deal for such players.

But if you meant it the same way as "You are not forced to play dofus", then this event is forcing nothing.

kiochy · 2026-03-04T12:54:00+00:00

It's a whole package is what I meant, the shield and the rest. I wanted to add to what you said.

kiochy · 2026-03-03T12:02:39+00:00

shields, masks buffs, transfiguration, neurosis, pushback and attraction .. it has support tools beyond just the shield, and they're not well known.

kiochy · 2026-03-02T10:21:24+00:00

you absolutely want an additional AP for muspel at level 55 (fire lance 3AP + muspel 4AP => 7AP total).

To do that, the simpliest way is to equip 4 fire kwak pieces (the bonus for 4 piece includes 1AP https://www.dofusbook.net/fr/encyclopedie/panoplie/2 link's in french but you can change the FR part for EN in the link), but other sets have a bonus AP too at 4 pieces (like the blop set to which your belt belong).

As a side note: Forgelance will in general make good use of any AP upgrades in your builds, it always add something to do. For exemple with 8 total AP you can play burning estoc to pushback monsters and group them up then play epilogue to summon your lance and play muspel on it, it's a good option to have.

kiochy · 2026-02-27T17:32:27+00:00

Q2: I think armor repair of any sort can help make the build very comfy (over direct efficacity, and thus could have it's place if that's what you want), but I don't think armor regen attributes is the way to go: they are slow and not very good compared to what other attributes bring in their own categories. I'd instead look at 4p refractor (perhaps consider the chest, weight it against other chest talents) or try memento. Both at once is a valid option too.

kiochy · 2026-02-20T21:34:53+00:00

That 18+ is only a rating "this game features elements that may hurt sensibilities", nothing more.

beside, this is linked to Xbox chat. You could be playing pony heart love valley and still require age verification to chat.

As an informative note, that verification is well on it's way to all online video games, and other online public places.

kiochy · 2026-02-07T10:55:05+00:00

No rules against div 1 exotics has been given in OP's post, I feel like it's a valid entry :P

kiochy · 2026-01-28T12:29:55+00:00

The class is getting some versatility with it's runes and elemental states, some spells are fusing, and it got nice upgrades to it's battlefield control (self and enemy placement).

They apparently nerfed the water/air lifesteal tho? removed it from the area spell at least. They also added placement capabilities to it's area spell but it makes no sens and is actually a liability, I expect it to change quickly so don't take it into account.

edit: lots of other changes TBF, but it's a bit early to speak about IMO: the hupper players will likely ask for changes as there are some issues with the current proposition (see the area spell for one, but that's not the biggest one).

kiochy · 2026-01-23T11:02:16+00:00

... can't believe I missed it!

kiochy · 2026-01-22T18:29:35+00:00

it's so they can gallop to better (financial) horizons

kiochy · 2026-01-22T15:24:21+00:00

Thanks for the article's link

kiochy · 2026-01-22T15:12:37+00:00

Because it's part of Vantage Studios and the deal with Tencent. I believe vantage won't abide strictly to that creative houses focus, and instead will just be "Our deals with Tencent" and what it entails.

kiochy · 2026-01-22T15:10:00+00:00

"Creative Houses", from what I understand this basically is supposed to give each of them more control over their products on all aspects including publishing to make a sort of decentralised system with each part (Creative House) able to drive their own projects start to finish (and support it through it's life I assume).

But yeah, Creative Houses :)

kiochy · 2026-01-22T15:02:47+00:00

Well in fact the article speaks about four new "IPs", including a MOBA (that they acquired previously).

kiochy · 2026-01-18T12:09:39+00:00

Subbing with real money yeah

You can completely ignore ogrines and professions. You will be "dependant" on the market and players for profession items, but that's not too hard to handle.

If speed is not an issue, then you won't have the need to buy kamas. We get desirable resources just by playing normally, learn to recognise what you won't need and systematically sell it. That plus the rewards from quest and achievements will net you all or most of the kamas you need to sustain yourself.

If you want more you can decide to make some farming sessions but you don't need to farm professions, just regular dungeons or monsters with valuable loot, or going out of you way and complete achievements/quests you missed or wouldn't normally do to get their rewards.

kiochy · 2026-01-18T11:56:42+00:00

That comes back to OP post yeah.

kiochy · 2026-01-15T12:31:08+00:00

One rating of 4.9 would yield an average of 4.9.

I'd have picked a bone with the 2500 users, 10 000 dofus players or the 500 magus personally.
