    damage loss will be visible already at lvl 40 or so...
    I rolled 1 Full mag wizz and 1 LA to 43 both, and the difference is noticeable. Starts with 100-200/hit and grows to 400-500.
    As the lvl grows so is the dmg diff. U will need 1 or 2 more hits to kill a mob, while you will be hit at least once. This has a number of disadvantages:
    - slower lvling
    - bigger mana consumption
    - bigger cost for HP pots/mana for heal. If u meditate to restore HP and Mana, see point 1.

    You're on PvE server, no one will attack you unless u want to. Go Robe, LA on PvE server is a mistake. U can restat at ~75 to go to rebirth, although I completed my first RB at 77 as robe with 2.8k HP and 2.5k pdef unbuffed (3.7 HP and 4.5k pdef full buffed) and I was the only DD.

    Why do people write guides before they've even played half the game?

    Streaker's guide was trash (I think it was posted as a joke), and this is just lol fodder.

    P.s. Seraphim & Mizouni (although mizouni's is too long to take seriously) both have better guides that won't lead to broken mages needing to spend fortunes on restating & leveling up essential skills they skipped... replace please?

    Why do people write comments about why others write guides are trash due to them being beginner guides when the title shows that it is a (CLASS) Guide for Newcomers?

    Seraphim & Mizouni may have some intricate and advanced class guides (not sure how intricate and advanced, as I have not read them yet), but that doesn't mean that these types of guides are trash.

    The purpose of Beginner Guides is solely to give explanations on builds, how many stat points are needed for a specific build, skills and their functions, the usefulness of the skills (in the author's own opinion, I might add), and different effective skill combinations (also in the author's own opinion).

    That being said, I think this guide will help me out quite a bit. I am going to attempt my first Mage, and I had no ideas for a build. This guide gave me what I needed, and more, thanks to the skill ideas included.

    And with that, I shall start working on my mage.

    DTones is ok up to a certain level. But Miz and seraph's are much better.

    ofc....when u grow lv u will see ur dmg diff more and more is easy to check it becuz the mag works like a amplificator of ur magi atk from items and like everbody knows hight lv have better itens so mag becomes more and more important otherwise while 10hp per vit seems nice at begin it ends in a **** build

    This was stickied a looong time ago, not sure if we can but I'd like a mob/admin to remove DTones and the other beginners guide and replace them with Mizu's and Seraph's.

    :o Dude This Guide Is Garbage, Worse Garbage Than Streaker's Guide. Pretend You Never Even Saw This And Start Blind... You'll Probably Roll A Better Character Than If You Followed This Guide.

    Go Read pandora's Guide, Or seraphim's Guide If You're Having Questions About Building Your Wizard.

    And Mods Please Send this And this To The Lower Depths So That No One Will Ever See Them Again. B:thanks

    Wizard's Guide for Newcomers


    Recommended Spells in terms of Priority

    Primary Spells: You'll need these spells to function in the game. Absolutely needed.
    Pyrogram
    Gush
    Stone Rain
    Distance Shrink
    Essential Sutra

    Secondary Spells: Level these whenever you can, but never at the cost of a Primary Spell.
    Morning Dew
    Dragon's Breath
    Sandstorm
    Blade Tempest
    Black Ice Dragon Strike

    Recommendations: Spells to be considered when there's nothing else to level up but have SP available.
    Glacial Embrace
    Stone Barrier
    Frost Blade
    Manifest Virtue
    Mountain's Seize

    Optional: You can grab these out of personal taste, but not at the cost of something important.
    Wellspring Quaff
    Glacial Snare
    Will of the Phoenix
    Force of Will
    Soporific Whisper

    End Game: Raise only when everything else needed is raised.
    Fire Mastery
    Water Mastery
    Earth Mastery
    Undine Strike
    Hailstorm

    I dont understand something!. Should I finish leveling up the primary spells in this list to their maximun before getting the secondary spells?

    Yes you should max them asap since they're your primary damage spells. For secondary spells, you can get them to lvl 1 if you have extra spirit/coin.

    For Sutra, it has only 1 level. You get it at lvl 59.

    Happy hunting.

    You might wanna stop adding vit. I did it too at low level, and I regret and restat it later, cause I lagged damage. 1 str 9 magic every 2 levels will do fine.

    You need to level up to do that. In your skill tree you can see what level you need to be to level any skill. Also you need to have enough spirit and coins.

    Okay, read the guide but something SERIOUSLY stumps me...

    Why oh why does everyone say to not put anything in Vitality? Surely having a tiny HP total is going to make you the biggest bullseye in the whole of PWI?

    Granted there are equips which give HP bonuses, but if you literally put nothing into VIT then how are you supposed to combat opponents with 3000+ HP when you're sitting in triple digits?

    Is there some seriously powerful resistance spell we get which renders us nearly untouchable? Is the whole point never to come close enough to get attacked in the first instance? Sounds a bit too 'glass cannon' for my liking.

    This really confuses me :/
