I would like to see more advanced guide with tricks :D

[@Benjamight]

You got it Dieter, there are a lot of fancy tips and tricks for the Elio class... it may be a while, but I'll see about getting the Advanced version made down the road. Thanks for asking.

[@albycdoyle9461]

So I'm french playing a french game but still in this setting, best guides are made by english speaking persons. Thanks a LOT for this guide

You're very welcome Albyc, so glad I was able to help! I really appreciate the kind feedback too - it means a lot. :-)

[@caesarralf1828]

This video has been amazing. I've playing dofus on and off since 2004 and the latest character I was having troubles when coming back is the elio. This guide helped a lot. Thanks for it!

[@Benjamight]

That's awesome Caesar - thank you for the great feedback, I really appreciate it!

[@keshanREd2Y]

Best elio tutorial vid ever thank you so much!

[@Benjamight]

Thank you Keshan, that's very kind!

[@soundsforthesoul8474]

i laughed so hard at "that's it... i'm changing classes" xD that is soooo true

[@Benjamight]

LOL - Right! I think I attempted, failed, and changed classes from the Elio at LEAST 3 times... I figured I was not alone. ;-)

[@Wesmaster]

Great video! I have an Elio in my 4-man team. I thought I knew the basics but I was wrong. Never knew the damage increases by the distance the spell travels :) Thanks! A little 1v1 PvP advice for Elio's when fighting Sadida's. Do not use 'Interruption'. Against most classes that seems the way to go in 1v1 PvP but most Elio's got themselves killed by me because they close all their portals. A Sadida can easily block your portals so you cannot reach the Sadida anymore. That becomes even easier when Sadida's can control their summons in version 2.58. So either keep your portals open or just close the ones close to you so the Sadida cannot use your portals to damage you.

[@Benjamight]

That's awesome Wesmaster - so glad I was able to help you out some. Also, BIG thanks for those PvP tips... I'm sure people look for PvP advice on this class all the time, but unless someone likes you pops it in the comments, they're not going to find any on my channel...lol. Appreciate that and support as always!

[@Wesmaster]

@@Benjamight btw, that intro was hilarious :D

[@Benjamight]

Thanks Wesmaster - I had fun making it. I honestly could have had 20 little segments for that intro, but I figured people got the point...lol.

[@christyvlacho2829]

I'm still new to dofus. I have a lvl 42 osamodas but after this video you really made me wanna try Elios and I've been loving their geometrical playstyle and outplay potential. I'd be glad if you could make a more advanced video as well. Thank you for all the amazing content!

[@Benjamight]

That's fantastic Christy... yeah, the Elio is a REALLY fun class! I'm glad the guide was helpful and you gave them a try. I'll try to get an 'advanced' guide created a some point, but it's a ways down my production list at the moment. Thanks for the encouragement on the channel, I really appreciate it. :-)

[@ViperDofus]

On the increase spell damage, I don't think it's the distance between your char and your enemy but the distance that the spell travels, which means even if u are 1 cell away from ur target and your redirection runs across the damage will be bigger than if you were just far away from him but with less spaced out portals. So the more spaced the portals are and the longer range the spell travels threw them the greater the damage. (sorry bad englando) You are still right overall, the greater the distance, bigger the damage.

[@rusher1744]

Yes thats exactly how it works. Is spell travel distance, now ur fisic distance. I think he just wanted to show that ppl dont need to worry to place 4 portals all the time in order to deal damage, as it is a verry basic guide. But ofc with 4 portals ur travel distance most likely will increase a ton. Imo he should have covered this a lil better.

[@Benjamight]

Yeah, I realized after reading your comment, at the beginning of the video I can see where that confusion could occur, because I was stating "I'm now 3... 4... spaces away". I think I clear things up a lot better about mid way through once I start sharing How to Increase Damage through Portals, but if someone doesn't watch the whole video, they may miss it...lol - oops. Anyways, thanks for clarifying.

[@ViperDofus]

I've never played an Elio until recently and this helps for sure. I saw Reflex doing some crazy damage in Klime or Nileza and that convinced me to try ha.

[@Benjamight]

You're welcome Chriseggroll - so glad I could help. Elio is a SUPER fun class, but getting past that initial learning curve can be a bit much sometimes... very happy to hear you gave them a go!

Great guide, thanks a lot for answering many of my questions & I hope that you'd make a guide for foggernaut showing some tricks & tips on how to use their summons, mechanics & items to look out for.

[@Benjamight]

You're welcome F4ppingfox - so glad I could help. A Fogger guide is a great idea... I'm familiar with Int really well, and I'm getting better with the Str. Perhaps once I've tried out Cha & Agi too, I'll feel comfortable making a nice guide on it. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hmm I wonder... can you throw someone through the portal with pandas karham? Elio is such an interesting class, but I always fear the learning curve and my lack of time to master it.

[@Benjamight]

Hi Adrian - yes, you can throw people through the portals... they will come out the other end in the exact same way as a spell. :-)

[@skulio]

Oooh, that sounds like really intriguing combo! I think I could switch my feca to elio to try this

Great video! I still need o figure out how to build him. First time Dofus player... and I'm tackling a difficult class... send help

[@Benjamight]

Welcome to Dofus Delfinition! Elio is a tough one, but SO rewarding once you figure them out. I would go with the Chance element - it's my personal favorite. Intelligence is probably my 2nd favorite and maybe even a little easier to work with, so if you find yourself getting frustrated with some of the limitations of chance spells, switch to the other... those spells have a lot more flexibility.

[@delfinition976]

@@Benjamight thank you. I am playing with a friend of mine. Whom I am frustrating since I am still having trouble with the portals but definitely your video helped quite a bit. Just a matter of time.

[@delfinition976]

@@Benjamight Actually can i do hybrid elements? or do i need to choose one attribute only? right now i have it all over the place... most of my points are on int/agi with a few on strength. oh and does that mean the other abilities aren't worth using if I dont put points on the attribute? Oh and one other edit. Is using the main weapon even worth using (sword, bow etc).

[@Benjamight]

There's nothing 'wrong' necessarily with trying to fill out the different elements, but you won't be able to hit very strong in anything compared to if you 'focus' your efforts into a single element. What most people do is focus on a single element until at least level 100 (probably more like 120), then people can go hyrbid easier since gear lends itself to a hybrid build much better. Then, near late game (160+), people can start to build pretty solid multi (normally called omni) builds... where you try for all 3 or 4 elements on a character. This is usually a very expensive build option, but it's nice because then you focus your attacks into whatever the lowest resistance is of whatever enemy you are attacking. One thing I'll note though, just because you are a single or hybrid element, doesn't mean your 'off' elements may not still be useful to you at times. It may have a buff or debuff effect, perhaps it moves characters/enemies, or has some secondary effect that makes it useful even if it doesn't hit hard... so that's something to keep in mind as well. I hope that helps - best of luck! Benjamight

Yeah, I hear a lot of people like to pick Elio as their first class, but then get very lost. Did you stick with them Lukas or leave and come back after a while?

@@Benjamight I have now 2 more classes Sacrier the masochist and Ecaflip the gambler as I like to call them. After learning about the game more decided to go back to my Eliotrope

[@sus-rai-69gamingchannel70]

Ah finally, now i know how they work Now im thinking of using an Elio on dofus since i do main it on wakfu and i want to see how different they are other from the portal mechanics. Wonder how would traveling trough them works, since in wakfu, you just need to walk to them and choose the portal, so for dofus, does it take you the same way as the spells or you can choose wich one to go to?

[@Benjamight]

Hello SAS - when walking through the portals on Dofus, you don't get to pick where to come out... it follows the same path as the spell. So whichever one calculates as open and furthest away, that's where you will come out.

[@MrBkatt]

I always wanted to Duo Elio with my Xelor. But sadly I'm too slow to make my moves before the time runs out 😒 It just looks damn nice 🙂

[@Benjamight]

Agreed, you could do some seriously epic looking combos with that team, but the thinking process needed to make it look good, is on a level MUCH higher than I could probably manage...lol.

[@nicholasbelangermartin6269]

hey im new to dofus , tried couple class but none keep my interest , this one seems interesting , im down to spend alot of time learning one to get good at it !! i want it to be good for the long run , do you recommend this one ? and if you would recommend me 3 other one what would it be ? according to your tier list i was thinking maybe enutroff any other suggestion ? thanks alot :D

[@Benjamight]

That's awesome Nicholas - and welcome to Dofus. The Elio is a fantastic class and a great choice for running solo... the learning curve on them is very high though - not one I would recommend to someone brand new to the game. HOWEVER, always play the class that sounds the most fun... that's the most important thing! You asked for 3 other recommendations... the Enutrof is also a fantastic choice - the damage is not as high, but if you build them with Chance, you increase your drop rates - so that's a big plus. I do have a Class Guide for them on my channel that will teach you a LOT about how to use this class if you haven't seen that yet. My other 2 recommendation. If you're brand new, I think the Cra, built in the Agility element, is an awesome first class for new comers - some people find them a bit boring though because you pretty much try to stay back the whole time. If you're looking for something with a bit more challenge, I would consider the Sadida Class (go either Strength or Intelligence) or perhaps the Foggernaut (again, go either Strength or Intelligence). I hope that helps - best of luck!

[@nicholasbelangermartin6269]

do you have tips for starting elio with low movement early game

[@Benjamight]

Elio's are always most challenging at low levels because of the low MP. No real tips here, except practice with those portals. One trick I can give... you can cast portals through other portals... it's an easy way to get portals further down the other side without using MP. That may help.

[@cornsyruptrucker]

Are these the same or at least similar in wakfu?

[@Benjamight]

Hi Indi - unfortunately, I'm not sure... I haven't tried the Elio on Wakfu. I would "assume" they are similar, but what little I've played of Wakfu, I have found substantial differences in how the classes work... so there's a chance they don't. I wish I could be more helpful here for you.

What is your favo build for the elio??

[@Benjamight]

I've tried Chance the most and love it... agility a little, but didn't enjoy that one as much. Intelligence I haven't tried, but I've seen impressive damage with it... I also feel it has the most spell range outside of portals. Strength I've never tried, so not sure on that one. So my personal favorites go Chance 1st, then Intelligence, Agility, and strength last only because I haven't tried it yet.

[@MyVince60]

@@Benjamight i have a full royal gobbal set on my iop im thinking of putting it on my elio str int

[@Benjamight]

Awesome - intelligence has the easiest range setup, so that would be a good idea. I can't recall, but I think a lot of Strength spells also move the target, so that may make them a little trickier to use with portals - but maybe also be really fun. Good luck.
