Control Wizard DPS SS or MoF help?

I'm a 4.2k item level Spellstorm DPS build spect in Thaumaturge/Oppressor on Ps4.
When everything process on me with bondings and stuff, Im at 98%-103% Critical Chance, Can go up to 122% but goes fast down to 98-103%. Just missing one enchantment on my self from r11 to 12, I will have steady Critical Chance 103 -/+!
And I still have to farm/get that new companion gear...... So I can get 2 offense slot and rank those last enchantments up from r11 to r12's.
Bonding rhinestones are r12's!
Stats: Im just where I should be.

But all in all, my build as a SS DPS Thaumaturge/Oppressor are just at the edges of be 100% done!


Lately I have been thinking of switching to MoF DPS build. But I have some trouble setting to up.
Should I go Thaumaturge/Oppressor or Thaumaturge/Renegade?
(AoE/singel) (Singel/AoE)

Heroic feats tree I have set up right. What about the paragon tree?

Thaumaturge feats is the same.

Oppressor way?
5/5 Bitter Cold
5/5 Twisting Immolation
3/5 Icy Veins
2/5 Frigid Winds

Renegade way?
5/5 Critical Power
5/5 Reapers Touch
5/5 Abyss of Chaos


What about rotations?

Trash: Icy Terrain, CoD (Spell Mastery?), Disintegrate, Fanning the Flame (Spell Mastery?).

Boss (singel target like Drufi Fbi): RoE, Disintegrate, Fanning the Flames, CoD (spell Mastery?)

Dailiys: Icy Knife and Furious Immolation/ Oppressive Force

At-Wills: Chilling Cloud and Scorching Burst?

Class: Chilling Presence and Critical Conflagration or Swath of Destruction?


What artifact powers?

Main hand: Chilling Cloud

Off-hand: Chilling Presence, Critical Conflagration or Swath of Destruction?


If I use Critical Conflagration my Critical Severity goes up to 115%, so I can swap out my Erines of Belial and go with Wild Hunt Rider and that put my Crit Severity back down to 105%.

My Companions atm: Con-Artis (summoned), Erines of Belial, Air archon, Earth Archon and Siege Master.

If I switch to MoF, I gone need to switch out an artifact or two from what I can see. But That is almost done.



Anyone have any suggestions about this? Information?

Anything will help me out.

If you're slotting damage/crit severity pets there's really no reason to ever unslot wild hunt rider because the buff has such high up time on a CW.

If you do not plan to play a hybrid of some sorts, helping with DR debuffs and some buffs as well, there is no real reason to play anything else than SS thaun with Abyss of Chaos. That's how the game is right now.

I would argue there are many ways how to play MoF with a great effect, however, if you wanna go pure personal DPS paingiver chart build, don't play MoF, and stick with SS.

Sorta off topic, but you didn't mention your weapon enchant. If you switched to lightning and picked up abyss of chaos for all the free procs....you might not have realised how much you were relying on icy veins to keep chill stacks up.

Without icy veins, if your CoI goes away and/or the enemie steps out of icy terrain you will quickly lose all stacks and have to start over. So be sure to use chilling cloud way more than before instead of magic missile.

Have to build the spec first and changing it will require a respec token.

MoF great single target dps build using AB. SS great AoE dps using IV.

If I had the resources I would go with SS build using Trans Lighting weapon and MoF I would use Trans a Dread or Trans Vorpal.

MoF is better on single target due to the dot it offers the build and that can add dome nice dps on bosses. The SS is more burst and that works better on adds.

The nice thing with MoF is that if you have a high enough crit you can use MM and CC as your At-Wills and add the dot from your crit hits and you also get a 20% increase in crit severity.

I am not even close to BiS for enchantments or gear but I can keep up with some players that have better gear and bondings due to the damage I can produce on bosses.
