I'm going sage at 89, I really like the bonus chi. The ability to not spend my time casting morning dew in TW's just to get a shield up is very attractive. I'm currently looking for as much +crit stuff as I can to maximize my power in PvP.

Demon still tempts me with hailstorm, sandstorm, and such though.

Chi pots FTW. Ability to gain some -chan with 1 spark and some other -chan with demon spark wins IMO. Also, there is demon earth shield... extremely hard to get but soooo b:dirty

ps grind grind lazy bish i remember amour getting his fairy when i was noob and i am still noob dammit

I wanna free up my apoth pots for vacuity/damage absorb.

BTW as for leveling....Gamma FTW!

hey
i've looked a lot into wizzies
went through the whole sage/demon skills and everything
honestly, i just have no life, so i spend my time looking at both paths for all classes

in my most honest and humble opinion, i think sage would be the best for wiz.
most of the sage skills just seem so much more attractive, however i may be wrong. i've had no real experience with a wiz, and it's not like things always work out in the most ideal way sometimes.

i think robes too

a wiz is designed to put out as much damage as it possibly can, and going LA will give you a bit more survivability, but it will reduce ur damage output significantly.

once again, i've no experience in playing wiz... so just a noob's opinion

rebirth b:dirty sadly it's so hard to find good squad for that... i'm working on it though b:pleased

I'd actually recommend Vit over LA for gamma. The element debuffs got me more than bleed.

It comes down to,

Sage=TW~AOE based PvE(Based around sparks, chi and ulti power)

Demon=PvP~Single target PvE(Based around spike, crit, control skills)

Both points are right but in different stages of leveling; LA gains survivability on 6x-8x, and significant reduce in damage is important after 9x - cause before it pure mages are too squishy. (Well, if they activate refinement transfer... some things will change a lot. But they will not, to good or bad.)

From pure to LA I lost around 25% of my damage in PvE. Glad I'm back to pure but not looking forward to farming my 90 gear v.v

so far there is only 1 hell earth shield on the server...good luck getting that. Don't make that one of your reasons for going hell.

Probably going to go sage...though I still have a while before I get there, so things could change, but sage is looking pretty good right now.

And I'm staying pure arcane all the way ^^

I think the only skill worth more than Demon Stone Barrier is Sage Black Ice Dragon Strike. You could easily sell Demon SB for over 30mil.

Sage BID isnt worth more than any Sage/Demon Shield especially Stone Barier... reason is very simple... it's very easy to manufacture those lvl 99 sage/demon books using pages of fate.. while sage/demon lower lvl books u have to farm from fb99 or manufacture using old book pages (hard to get them)

S>SAGE BID = offerb:chuckle (HT)

anyway... sage wiz > demon wiz b:pleased
