Ok so i know there are 3 good ones for wizard, but since i'm not rich and can only afford 1 or 2 by 79 I want to know which ones to get....

Also. If someone has time, i wanna know if i should get TT80 chest+sleeves, if i can just save and get some legendary lvl 77 sleeves+ chest.

    It kinda depends on if you are more interested in PvP or PvE etc... but most people go for the 79 skills in this order: undine -> sleep -> ele shell.

    Do NOT get green TT 80 chest/gloves.. they cost alot and totally suck. The gold TT80 is actually decent, but being that it is auto bound, I'd strongly recommend you skip it. Sleeves of the sea captain are perfect for your 80's, and just some 3* chest with decent stats would be just fine until you are 9x.

    Get it, it's great. Chi building + something I wouldn't want to miss in pvp ever.
    Wondering how much longer these **** packs are going to be around.

    Im basically saying what everyone else has said for order: Undine-Sophoric-Elemental

    If you can only afford one id say undine strike, got it as soon as i could and have loved using it ever since.
    Ive only recently just got Sophoric Whisper, and its nice for duels/pvp, but very situational in pve.
    As for Elemental shell, i wont be getting for a while, doesn't seem worth it to me (for the time being) although as said it does have nice chi building uses apparently.


    As for tt80 green, yeah not that great, but the sleaves of sea captain are VERY nice even into late 8x, Pretty cheap these days as well.

    elemental shell is worth it :3

    its instant cast gets your mdef (-wood) to 50k+, prevents charm ticks (or magic kills) a lot in pve and pvp if timed right, helps at grinding on mag mobs etc :PP

    if youre not in for pvp at all id say get this one first, especially demons



    fun with full chi, (antistunpot?>) 3spark>shell>DragonsBreath booho(>Expel )

    you know as wiz you must be fast in pvp..

    imagine you got 399 chi.. then dropping bids which burns 2 sparks.. got 199 chi left.. what to do now.. your enemie is still alive..

    if you wouldnt have elemental shell u would use frostblade or undine to get your chi to 2 sparks again for dropping another ulti
    BUT you can cast shell immediately coz its instant and you got it.. ( i guess lol havent got it yet) and your enemie will be kissing the floor ;P


    note: dont take this as an example of how pvp works lol.. coz pvp is very situational

    or better undine them for the second hit if u can pull it off.

    I mean...better debuff target than buff yourself for defense...

    You know Undine gives you chi, right?

    u sure? I swear I created a combo with sutra-undine-MS and it works. I mean, MS has 50% to take 1 spark, but you need 2 sparks to cast it.

    I was kinda' amazed it did, but I tested it in a few duels and it worked. I have to check my combo again, but I don't remember to have a anything between sutra and MS beside Undine.

    Yeah im pretty sure undine doesnt give chi, i know it doesn't cost any, but dont think it gives any.
    Aye, was only saying what i know, never used/had/seen elemtal shell so i dunno, ppl saying instant cast for chi, so im guessing it has quick cooldown like undine then?

    ye, you might be right.

    Damn, now I wonder what the hell is wrong with my combo...lol.

    most people use sutra FoW then MS. I like that or ele shell to get the extra chi :P

    @Mokana - ele shell has a 30 second cooldown, and instant cast means u dont need to stop to use it. You can be running/flying etc and use it without wasting any time

    I forgot about the FoW in there. I don't get the Chi from Undine, I get it from FoW.

    it only costs 20 chi.. which is almost nothing. Its great to hold someone still so you can bypass their charm with an ult.. or give u a few seconds to get away. In TW I've used it to cancel archer zhens.. its fun to find like 2 archers zhenning and FoW one and sleep the other. Anyway its an amazing skill, to not get or use it is only handicapping yourself

    I rarely use sleep in PvE.. the only time it really makes sense to use it is when you're grinding and some mob is about to tick you (lets say you grabbed like 5 to aoe), you could sleep them and heal yourself or use a pot etc. Sleep is really more of a pvp skill.

    Undine is semi useful in PvE.. if you've got multiple wizards in a party its worth keeping a boss undined for the extra DPS. It's also useful against magic resist mobs.

    Ele shell is actually pretty useful in PvE. Besides that extra 15chi every 30 seconds, I've used ele shell to prevent ticks, or in cases of bosses like 2-3 wurlord (or w/e one you gotta kill multiple times before he drops mats xD) you can put ele shell on the puller or the tank etc to help them take that first magic attack if they aren't well geared.

    ya or psychics.. since they also use water and earth and fast spells its a nice dmg boost









    i got today the sleep spell and must say its not that bad for pvp lol.. but 2 min !!!! cooldown so u have to use it wisely

    then i tried it in fc.. and its useless there.. all mobs and bosses resist against that sleep
    normal mobs in fb's work with that sleep and its nice when 2 mobs attacking u, so u can sleep 1 and spark them away lol
    and then a lvl 90 bm also told me today in fc that he dont like me coz wizzys are useless in fc and he prefers archer or bm's... lol. (which is totally bullsh.. coz theres anyway a bm set and other is preferable archer or wiz and anyway think he dont have a clue of what he was talking bout lol )
