I always play the tank clases in mmo's and this one is no different. however for the 1st time i actually want to lvl up a caster.
i have read the guides of all 3 classes mentioned in the title. however i want to hear from people who play the classes for 1 thing. which one has the flashiest spells XD. i wanna see big explosions, lightning bolts ect.
ya watching a char swing his melee wep with some colour kinda gets old.

so far ive seen a wizard throw a phoenix at enemies, clerics charging up some lightning attack and venos, well those make green stuff come from under them.

Oh and i dont care much about the pvp aspec. more for being a dd in the pve aspect of the game. i know ill have to adapt to how to engage and enemy so that wont be an issue also (no need to tell me class x can survive longer ect.)
come on i wanna kill mobs in in style XD

    hm the venos' spells aren't very flashy... until lvl 40 you get 5 attacks which look nearly the same, just with different colors.

    Please only create one topic on this subject Wulph. Sent the other two in for closing.

    As for your question, you'll want a Wizard for the highest damage output, lowest survivability, Cleric for medium in both, Venomancer for medium damage output, highest survivability (though lowest survivability if the pet dies).

    im not asking about survivability or dmg output. i was asking for which one has the coolest spell effects. the rest i can work around.

    In terms of spell effect appearance, mages.
    Venos have jack all. Clerics have a few things that looks kinda flashy, but the whole dropping meteors on people, pushing them with phoenixes, etc, that's all mages.

    If your main concern is flashy spells to DD with, i'd say go with wizard. I love my Veno, but i have to admit, its spells arent very flashy. Tempest (i think?) for clerics seems like one of the flashiest spells, but as a cleric you'd more often be a healer. Wizard has some good flashy spells and is one of the top DD next to archer.

    Wizard by far.. at 60 you get the best looking spells like Black Dragon and Blade Tempest.. I have all 3 classes and I prefer the wizards spells.. The only other one that impressed me was from a high ranking ARCHER, he did some AoE attack that rared back and shot a **** load of arrows in the air..
    Why wont my sig work.. Not kool..

    If you're going purely for animation purposes, I would go wizard. They get some pretty flashy spells.

    100% Agree. Veno's are a total waste if you want fancy looking spells. All we really get is parasitic nova, which if fun to watch but takes two sparks so you can't use it very often.

    Clerics have flashy buffs, but offensively the spells are pretty meager as far as looks go compared to the wizard. (Still got venos beat though lol)

    I do love my character, but our spells are just not that exciting lol.
