1. Class Overview & Introduction
Elemental Bomber is a sub job of Male Mage that focuses on dealing high elemental damage like its female
counterpart. However he does not share any skills with his girly counterpart.
Pros to Elemental Bomber
Does VERY well on low budget and doesn't require any reinforcing at all to be decent.
Does not require cast speed accessories or avatars. Cast speed is completely optional.
Proficient in all Elements and does not require cards like Binoche for attacking elementally.
Pure Percent. Only fixed damage skills are general Male Mage skills.
Very flexible and forgiving build.
You can screw up in OV and get yourself killed all you want to as long as your revive is off cooldown.
Cons to Elemental Bomber
Low HP & DEF
No Mana Shield like effects exist.
Crowd Control isn't too hot.
No INT buffs except AM.
Spitfire-like gameplay. (Mashing X and another skill when it gets off CD)
No real combos. (PVP)
Mana can snowball down to 0 with the use of skills very quickly due to Mana Burst's effects
With that aside let's move on into skills.
2. Skills
General Skills
Basic Attack
Input: X
Shoots an orb of blue energy. This is a magic attack that is automatically aimed at the nearest enemy. The Basic Attack chain has 4 energy balls in total and the action of shooting the energy balls causes a slight knockback to close enemies that does around 15% of the thrown orb's damage. When used in the air, it will fire two orbs in quick succession. Only one Basic Attack is usable in the air per jump. Dash Attacks will cause a small explosion to erupt around the Mage's palms. This will knock down enemies and is a two hit physical attack. This dash attack will always move you forward and cannot be preformed standing still unlike other classes (i.e Fighter, Slayer, Battle Mage)
Immortality
Passive
Revives your character when you reach 0 HP. Upon revive all status effects are cured except Stun and Immobilize. Your cooldowns DO NOT REFRESH when dying this way. When revived you enter a state where you regenerate 50% of your MAX HP for 15 sec. If killed AGAIN during this state you will have to use a life token. PVE cooldown is 15 sec, PVP cooldown is 2 min, everywhere else is 60 sec.
Skill: Wind Strike
Input: Z
This skill creates a small tornado infront of the mage that launches an enemy into the air. This has super armor upon using and is a magical attack. Leveling the
skill does not increase tornado size but will increase launch height. This skill does have an automatically acquired cancel.
Skill: Water Cannon
Input: Left, Right + Z
Fires a ball of Water to deal magical Water damage. When ranked up, the sphere of water will grow in size. Acquired at level 1.
Level 5 Skills
Skill: Trap Strike
Input: (While holding Right) + Z
Grabs an enemy in front of you and throws them forward, and upon landing, deals magical splash damage. The grabbed enemy does not take damage from the resulting shock wave from throwing them and instead take damage from being thrown. Larger enemies are not thrown as far as smaller enemies (i.e A goblin will be thrown farther than a Toros Warrior). This skill's range is VERY short. A cancel can be acquired upon ranking this skill to level 5.
Skill: Concentrated Fury
Input: Down, Forward + Z
Fires five shots of your basic attack in quick succession to deal magic damage. Concentrated Fury deals slightly more damage than your basic attack. This skill is one of your most important skills as an Elemental Bomber when used in conjunction with your buffs. Pressing the skill key while firing will allow you to shoot faster. This skill can be used in the air and during Backstep. When used in the air it can be fired diagonally and straight down by pressing the directional button desired before the skill is used. Pressing the Jump key while firing will stop use of the skill. This skill's cancel can be used after getting this skill to level 3.
Level 10 Skills
Skill: Ghost Flame
Input: Down + Z
Creates two light blue flames around the mage. Each flame provides a bonus to Physical and Magical Defenses. Unlike Mana Shield or Bone Shield, pressing the skill key again will shoot one of the flames out to deal magic damage.
Skill: Teleport
Input: Right + Space
This skill teleports the user in any direction instantly. The skill's range of movement is 400px of X-axis movement and 100px of Y-Axis movement. Another very helpful skill. It caps at level 1 so no need to sink hundreds of SP into it. Unlike Phase Shift or Molting, this skill cannot be used when hit.
Skill: Flame Shield
Input: Right, Right + Z
Conjures a disk of flame in front of you, and over time, discharges it forward to deal fire damage and push back enemies. This skill is a bit unique because it can be held, and while held, incoming ranged attacks will deal less damage. Leveling this skill up will increase the distance it travels and how much damage is reduced from ranged attacks.
Level 15 Skills
Skill: Icy White Sword
Input: Up, Right + Z
Materializes a large sword of ice along the mage's arm and swipes three times to inflict water based magical damage. This skill has a chance of slowing enemies. The final hit of this skill deals more damage than the rest of the skill.
Skill: Magic Cannon
Input: Down, Down + Z
Shoots a larger version of your basic attack. This skill when used in combination with other Elemental Bomber skills, this skill can assist in providing excellent burst DPS.
Elemental Bomber Skills: Level 20 Skills
Skill: Elemental Protection
Passive Skill
Provides a an Elemental Resist rating of 10 against all elements. Maxes out at level 1.
Skill: Elemental Shift
Input: Right, Right + Space
This skill is one of the skills that makes you a better Spitfire than Spitfire. Using this skill allows you to choose an Elemental Property to imbue upon your Basic Attacks, Concentrated Fury, Magic Cannon, Elemental Shield, Concentration and Elemental Strike. However, this skill does not enchant your weapon with chosen element as if it had "Inflict Elemental Damage".
Fire
Strongest of the four elements when used with Basic Attacks and Concentrated Fury.
Next to last in terms of damage with Magic Cannon. Magic Cannon will cause an explosion on hit.
Will ignite Oil and change dash attacks into a fiery explosion.
Light
Basic attack and Concentrated Fury are the second highest in damage.
Each hit from your Basic Attack or Concentrated Fury has a chance to Electrocute.
Magic Cannon's Electrocute effect is much stronger than your Basic Attack or Concentrated Fury. However the Magic Cannon itself does the least damage under Light Element.
Upon impact, Light Element has a stronger hit stun effect than the rest of the elements.
Dark
Each shot from Dark Element will pierce through anything it hits.
Each hit has a chance of curse.
Second strongest Magic Cannon.
Water
Weakest Basic Attack and Concentrated Fury.
Each hit has a chance to Freeze.
Strongest Magic Cannon.
Skill: Crystal Crash
Input: Up + Z
This skill will drop three large icicles upon a blue circle upon casting. Sadly, this skill's target area can't be moved around like Fire Pillar and Quantum Bomb.
Level 25 Skills
Skill: Mana Burst
Input: Up, Down + Space
Mana Burst increases the damage your skills do by 1% per level. However, this skill also increases their MP cost by 10% plus 1% extra for each level after that. This skill is essential to your Elemental Bomber. Take care to notice that all skills casted while this skill is in effect will increase their MP cost. Apply this buff last.
Skill: Elemental Shield
Input: Left, Down, Right + Z
Prerequisite: Elemental Shift Lv.2
This skill decreases the damage you are dealt by a percent in addition to preforming an effect when hit that changes on which element you chose to use when casting Elemental Shift.
Fire
Counter Attacks for fixed fire damage.
Light
Completely stops an enemy's attacking animation for a period of time, making it possible to get out of the way of multi-hit attacks the instant the first hit would hit you.
Dark
Chance to cause Slow to any enemy who hits you during the Shield's duration at a 90% chance.
Water
Causes a set number of hits dealt to you to deal 0 damage.
This does not apply to status effect damage such as poison but DOES apply to dot effects such as Grudge of Dead.
When this situation occurs, it does not subtract from the shield's damage negation ability.
Skill: Infernal Road
Input: Right, Down, Right + Z
Prerequisite: Elemental Shift Lv.2
Generates a set number of flames in a horizontal line twice. The second wave of fire deals more damage than the first.
Level 30 Skills
Skill: Chain Lightning
Input:Up, Right, Down + Z
Prerequisite: Elemental Shift Lv.5
Projects a bolt of lightning that arcs between a set number of targets, dealing light element damage. While using the skill, the mage will be in super armor. The tracking range of this skill is so great that enemies in the air and behind the mage can be hit by this skill. Chain Lightning will hit four times on each target. The number of targets you can hit will increase with level.
Skill: Dark Zone
Input: Up, Right, Right + Z
Prerequisite: Elemental Shift Lv.5
Emits a sphere of darkness outward that blinds all enemies on screen and damages those within range. The range of this skill does not increase by leveling the skill. The blind effect occurs at a 100% rate. This skill also has a decent amount of super armor, making it handy when surrounded by multiple enemies.
Level 35 Skills
Skill: Crystal Sorm
Input: Up, Right, Up, Right + Z
Prerequisite: Crystal Crash Lv.5, Elemental Shift Lv.5
Casts an ice magic circle upon the ground that causes icy shards to fall from the sky and down on anything within. This skill drops 40 crystals within the circle and each crystal has a 50% chance of freezing an enemy. The skill's attack duration is 2.5 seconds at any given level, while the skill's Freezing Level and Time increases with rank. Very effective against large and immobile enemies. This skill has a small cast time.
Skill: Flame Circle
Input: Up, Down, Up + Z
Prerequisite: Infernal Road Lv.5, Elemental Shift Lv. 5
This skill creates a ring of fire that strike anything within range six times and then explodes to knock enemies away. This skill has super armor from beginning to end.

Level 40 Skills
Skill: Lightning Wall
Input: Down, Up, Right + Z
Prerequisite: Chain Lightning Lv.5

Materializes a large wall of lightning and pushes it forward to electrify enemies in its path. Creating the wall will electrify enemies and knock them down if they are close enough to touch the wall. Upon creating the wall, you will be in a super armor state. Status effects that prevent you from taking action and being thrown will make the wall disappear. This skill is very good on long horizontal maps as it passes through any object in its way. This skill also has a decent chance to cause electrocution for 3 seconds.
Skill: Shadow Globe
Input: Up, Down, Down + Z
Prerequisite: Dark Zone Lv.5
Consumes 1 Clear Cube Fragment.
Creates a black and purple gravity field that slows enemies that enter the area. After a few seconds the skill will create a large orb that pulls all enemies in to a single position, shatter and explode to deal Dark element damage and slow down enemies within. This skill does not have super armor so take care when casting this skill. It is possible for enemies to walk out of the initial gravity field, however it is not possible to escape the pull in effect. The slow effect lasts for five seconds.
Level 45 Skill
Skill: Elemental Rain
Input: Left, Right, Right + Z
Prerequisite: Elemental Shift Lv. 10

Cycles in this order: Fire -> Ice -> Dark -> Light, and will skip over whichever is your current elemental attribute, saving it for last.
Skill: Elemental Chain
Passive Skill

My personal build for those who are wondering.
PVP
I actually think this class is legitimately bad at PVP so I won't bother with PVP builds.
