Alright so ive been meaning to post about this for awhile now but i havnt had time due to running a faction and all. So would any1 like to explain to my why us wizards are the ONLY class without party buff?

Barbs-Hp buff
Bms- pdef buff
archers- acc buff
clerics-b:chuckle
venos-bramble
wizzy fish- fish bramble
ninja fish- some phy buff
wizards-add water dmg to NORMAL(phy) attacks.........WTF???

every class has a buff that makes them important to a sq of course some more then others but still important just the same. would you assume that wizards would have a increase magic attack/def buff or idk a "find the ninja fish buff" or something? so ya tell me what you all thinkb:surrender
So what if we have bad HP, we're Chuck Norris in the damage department!!!!! b:pleased

If your going into an fb and the Barb screams "LEEROY JENKINS" as he runs into the cave, leave the party. It's only going to get worse from then on.b:shocked

Nef is all but a memory. Pwi may once again sleep peacefullyb:pleased

    You forgot the 4-sec mag defx1000 (except wood) buff. That thing makes or breaks parties, ya know!

    Heck, even a squad "no sleep no stun" 4 second thing would be more useful.

    If anything, they should make wellspring quaff a party buff at lvl 10 like with clerics.

    No point QQing about it now (I do not want to start a fight whether OP is QQing or not), but since this game has been out for like... 2-3 years in North America, the devs are not probably going to change frostblade or wellspring quaff.

    I believe that testing has shone that frostblade adds its percent of the receiver's weapon damage, and not equipment damage.

    And, if I recall correctly, the tests for frostblade adding damage to a wizard's attack were done unarmed.

    Can anyone point me towards posts with experiments which differ from this?

    I've been thinking that we should have a mag. def buff because BM's have the Aura of the Golden Bell for pdef, and I figured since we were the magical class for the human race, we should have an equivalent m.def buff.

    Also, I like the idea of the MP buff!

    Technically we do have a magic based buff - elemental shell, but im know where you coming from since it lasts like 4 seconds and covers 4/5 elements.

    Developers should make Wellspring quaff a party aoe skill including the sage / demon adds

    That would be instantly more useful especially for things like delta fcc lunar nirvana etc, where BM's Sins Archers Barbs burn through mana (and any charms) extremely fast. Im sure other casters would appreciate it too.

    I don't need no pdef, cos I got ... BOOM HEADSHOT !

    see now yall are starting to catch my drift lolz but the only thing is ele. shell is nice on paper, but i find the only time i find it useful is when im in pk and see another wiz channeling BT on me.b:chuckle I like the idea of wellspring being a party buff (cause honestly i got 10k mp without it and pumping it to 17k is just pointless unless im macroing a boss lolz.

    I use elemental shell a lot especially on barbs pulling magic mobs, when mobs start channeling. Though the duration is insanely low... for 4 secs it should make the target immune to elemental damage, in my opinion.

    Either that, or reduce the freaking cooldown. 15 seconds would be much better.

    Reducing the cooldown would make shell an awesome chi builder, too.

    Frostblade is actually decent when used on fist bms , archers or sins since they atk fast enough to make that tiny percentage of dmg add on something valuable.
