It's about whether other classes are more suited to pk, not about teaching me this or that about a mage. YOU turned this thread into that, not me.
Everyone makes these forums some kind of personal chest puffing contest instead of a discussion. Its sad that people feel the need to get self worth from a video game.
Aside from that, I would like to watch. No wizzies ever pk on my server . . . .
already said I wasnt gonna waste my time teaching you.
Believe me, if I was really angry I wouldnt let it show..
Mages are definitely suited to pk, just gotta know how to use them.
Mmmm, everyone likes to boost their ego, but I wouldnt call it finding self worth though. Prolly cya next weekYoutube Channel: youtube.com/user/D2VeT/videos?flow=grid&view=0

"A slight bit more complicated"? Yes, yes it does. Genie skills and apoth mean if you get everything set up, use your sleep and they apoth, your are running for your life till that cools down. Yea, real fun. Sent packing for 2 minutes by 45 herbs. Wizzies are sooo OP. Better hope they don't know how to stun/sleep you back while your using those great kiting skills.
Channel pot ulti isn't a 1 shot? Or are you assuming they are still at 50% while you kite long enough to get sparks, sleep cool down, etc.?
Thats all true. On top of better weapon/gear, lucky crit, I will add in "your opponent makes a mistake". That happens alot for me too. They don't kite when I triple spark, or they waste their spark when FoW/sleep ISN'T on cooldown, etc. If you have someone that knows how to do that, you are running for your life (call it "kiting" if it helps you save face) or are otherwise one dead wizzie.
That sure is alotta kiting. Don't run into any other pk'ers during that kiting that poke at you? People keep chasing you? I wouldn't. If you run for more than 10 seconds without turning around to mount some kind of offense, I consider that a win (whether someone does that to me, or I do it to someone else).
And "sleep sleep sleep" as though we can rely on that. Aside from the cool down, its not a stun, its a sleep. That means you get 1 hit till they are free. So we are back to my comment about one shots again. And the range on sleep is relatively short, so as soon as its over you can get stunned back immediately. And thats a stun, not a sleep. Get ready for 4-8 hits which, if a couple crit (not hard for an archer), bye bye wiz. If you tank them with apoth or whatever, back you are to running. Again, real fun.
Point isn't that wizzies can't pk. They can. Point is that other classes are much better suited for it.
Do you realize that archers are nearly terrible endgame? The only archer im terrified of on my server has a +12 warsoul with 2 g12 garnets. And even then, only when he catches me offgaurd really.
When you get decent pdef, archers hit you for trash really and they dont have too great defenses. I beat archers with +12 g15 nirvana bows and 10k HP without too much work.
Adroit is one of the best mages around. He was doing endgame PvP BEFORE you was a level 1 wiz on Archosaur. I can safely say that 60% of my kills, are thanks to adroitb:bye
Sins are Scissors. Psychics are Rocks.
Archers, Venos, Barbs, Wizards, BMs, Mystics, Seekers are Paper.

Paper beats Rock. Scissors beats Paper. Scissors also happens to beat Rock...until Rock gets 50k+ soulforce at which point Rock becomes an unstoppable killing machine that beats Paper... and would beat Scissors but it can't find Scissors, because Scissors are invisible.
So Scissors beat Paper and avoids Rock, and that is called BALANCE. -cheze0 -

And actually, this post may prove my point better than any other. If in order to be competitive as a wiz, you have to be "one of the best mages around", most players won't be. Therefore, they are better off picking something other than a wiz."And as for bragging, I don't need to brag. I am famous, yo. My accomplishments are legendary.

We can kill archers basically as fast as they can kill us. Before I had fortify and sage fow, I basically needed to catch an archer off guard. Unless I had domain ready, I generally could not survive through the stun. The extra range on sage fow evened the playing field a bit. I could put up a fight if I could at least get the seal off. With fortify now, it isnt even fair to archers in my gear range. I resist their stun and then get fow or sleep off, then its just a matter of making them use their domain with either sleep ulti or a sutra combo.. then repeat finishing them off w/ w/e I didnt use the first time xD
Ofc that is just for 1v1's, TW and mass pvp we destroy each other. Its basically just whoever gets the first hit. I know alot of archers (and other classes for that matter) that are almost forced to learn ele resist skills on their genie. Oxygen bubble for bids and w/e the resist fire is called for genie spark. I somehow doubt they'd be sacrificing genie skill slots that only help vs one class if we werent a threat (I suppose 2 classes if you count psychics.. but they were learning these genie skills b4 tideborn so.. meh)Youtube Channel: youtube.com/user/D2VeT/videos?flow=grid&view=0

Assuming yourself as a arcane armour wizard fighting yourself as another class.
Assuming both character have equal gear.
At end game if those gear are bad , wizard will have disadvantage becuase of low HP and defence. You wont make used of wizard skills tree because most of the time, you die before you can even react. You can win once in a while but most of the time, the odd are against you.
As wizard upgrade their gear , say + 8 nirvana/events or higher. Wizard shine when they have HP and defence, able to make use of teleporting, seal, sleep, kiting, genie, and pot. With higher refine in weapon and the debuff spell (Undine Strike) , wizard damage yield the highest when comparing to others class. Expensive/good gear give a wizard an advantage when fighting other class.
However, sad to say the only class that Wizard wont be able to beat are Sin. Smart Sin with equal gear or not b:surrender
This is fact, been proven over a fight of 5 times vs a +11 nirvana dagger sin.
I have 10 HP, 10.8k phy def, 9.7 mag def. But guess what? Sometime I die in 2 shot; normal hit of 3.8k follow by a 7.5k crit (sin is not even spark). And when you domain or expel to seal, he run away or hide after you tick his charm. b:angry0 -

This is about all I am saying + they are a much bigger threat much earlier in game. Wizzies don't get there till 90 at best and really much later with better gear. Archers are much more suited to pvp.

BLOODMYSTIC - Archosaur wrote: »And how is my statement inconsistent with "every class can beat every class". I said every class can beat a wiz. "Don't listen to this guy, we are saying the same thing?" An odd statement to be sure.
If the guy wants an OP pk class (a fair impression from his statement "who won't be able to beat me", I think), then wizard isn't it.
And I love this myth about "equally geared". What does that even mean?
What is "equal gear" for a wizard to -interval?
What is "equal gear" for a wizard to sins stealth?
What is "equal gear" for a wizard to veno's nix?
What is "equal gear" for a wizard to virtually every other classes stuns, seals, buffs, debuffs, etc?
Negative channeling? Thanks.
In terms of pk, wizards are one of the weakest classes, hands down. Sure, you can one shot alot of people, and I guess thats something. And maybe thats what they mean, I don't know.
But anyone that isn't a 1 shot? Your in trouble 90% of the time.
Maybe that changes when everyone gets +12 nirvana. Maybe that benefits wizards more than others. I won't pretend to know.
But for the 90% of everyone that stops short of that, if you want to pk outside of tw, don't pick a wiz if you are looking for a class that has one or more other classes "that can't beat you". You will have to have everyone "outgeared" (whatever thats supposed to mean) to win even 50% of the time, and in group situations, without excellent gear, you will be dead instantly because you are the quintessential easy target. Everyone targets the wiz first.
7 out of the top 10 ranked pk'ers on Dreamweaver are archers. 4 out of the top 10 on Lost City are archers. Wizards? Only 2 out of the top 10 on Lost City and only 1 in the top 10 on Dreamweaver.

BLOODMYSTIC - Archosaur wrote: »I told a level 32 that if he wanted to pvp outside of tw, there are classes better suited for it.
In my experience, most of low level pk consists of someone with 30+ levels on you trying to gank you.
And, from my point of view, wizards are one of the best suited classes for dealing with that issue.
Of course, you are not going to be landing any PK kills here, and you are not even going to always survive. However, if you can give yourself some extra health and pdef (so you have a chance of surviving one hit of the cheap sort that wanna-be-bullies would likely to be landing on you), and if you can get yourself a reasonably fast bit of flying gear (+3/+5 is probably fast enough), your distance shrink gives you a huge advantage over other classes, for surviving silly ganks.
Meanwhile, if you have enough health and pdef to take a hit from someone like that, and a moderately good weapon (good for low levels, no need to go overboard), and if you have decent healing supplies (you do not even need jiaozi, in my experience, though that makes low level pk easy to survive) you can do quite well in low level pk.
Then again, if you are going from level 1 to level 80 in one day, or something like that, your second best tactic in low level pk would probably be to die and go someplace else (and your best tactic would be to stay where you can not be PK'd).
Edit: after having a problem with an assassin and rethinking things a bit: we have access to about half a dozen targetless genie AoE damage skills. I also want to try weakness, which looks like a possible way of surviving stun long enough to blink out (and costs less energy than expel or absolute domain).0 -

We have no chance of killing someone else skilled without pulling off a lucky crit or debuffing combo, which shouldn't be possible if they are skilled.
And sleep doesn't work with anti-stun skills. What are you gonna do when you get hit by 5aps while stunned, domain? Considering a good str genie built for Occult Ice will make you stunlocked for far more than AD lasts, and has a high chance to proc compare to our few very lucky crits in debuffs, what are you gonna do?
Expel wouldn't work since popping it up silences you, making his occult ice delayed. Are you saying you have like a 20% chance of surviving (when it doesn't proc) and even then, it's just a fight-without-genies... who has the advantage?
As for sins -- who cares about stealth? Let's just say a sin with average gear is a useful asset to a squad because he can stunlock/seallock/whatever indefinitely even a cashshopper with +12 nirvana dags and +12 armor for his squad. A wiz? Worthless 5 sec seal with 18 sec cooldown (demon!), 4 sec sleep with 2 min cooldown (not even worth mentioning) and craptastic damage... lucky if you hit 1/16 of his hp with Gush.
When people say "you need to have good gear as a wiz" I see that as "you need to be overgeared as far as your weap is concerned against opponent's armor/defense".
Borsuc, why are u so cynical? You're a huge demon wiz and your posts are basically... depressing. It's ironic, that you've said so much about the preeminence of the demon choice v. the sage choice, yet, the sage wizard's I see usually post with a sense of pride.
Your statement that we have "no chance of killing someone else without a lucky crit or debuffing combo" is wildly inaccurate. Sorry, I don't have to be level 100 to understand this, but then again I am just a young sage. peace0 -
Because, as much as I like owning a lot of noobs, the fact is that a lot of people who know what they are doing and how to counter a wiz aren't easy to take down, or downright impossible.
You see, we are not good at DPS. We are good at DPH. But this game is heavily biased towards defense against DPH. You have a lot of genies, apoth, defense charms, and stuff that are defensive based most of the time. Even spark, which is at-a-glace an offensive skill, gives you immunity when you need it and purifies you (in case of triple spark), because doing it for damage doesn't work as opponent will just run away most of the time.
I'm just being realistic. As much as I love hitting for 29k (my best realistical record, not set-up situation) on LA... most of the time, especially 1v1, they WILL COUNTER IT. There is a huge difference between fighting noobs and fighting people who know your skills and combos. Wizards are good at wiping the former, but in smaller group situations (not TW for ex), we are vulnerable to the latter... badly. It's like we are MADE to be weak and have no backup plans except distance shrink.
Even if you think about our offensive genie combos -- we're making ourselves vulnerable by wasting precious genie energy that we need since we lack many defensive skills and antistuns. Or in the case of frenzy, even lowering our resistances.0 -
I agree with Adroit, I do incredibly well against the original 6 classes. Maybe because I've PvP'd against them for the past 2 years. Maybe because they aren't dex based classes with Zerk/God of Frenzy on their nirvana weapons who can basically oneshot you out of stealth no matter who you are.
If a psychic with +10 nirvana weapon and +6-8 gear went 1v1 me, I'd have trouble. I don't have a good grasp of how to kill them. In the case of assassins... they're just overpowered. +5 1st cast and you can kill anyone with triple. All you need is occult ice. If you fail, force stealth and chi skill and try again in 5 seconds"Amour is better suited to rainbow text, because he is a classy lady." - Nakhimov

Even spark, which is at-a-glace an offensive skill, gives you immunity when you need it and purifies you (in case of triple spark), because doing it for damage doesn't work as opponent will just run away most of the time.
I'm just being realistic. As much as I love hitting for 29k (my best realistical record, not set-up situation) on LA... most of the time, especially 1v1, they WILL COUNTER IT. There is a huge difference between fighting noobs and fighting people who know your skills and combos. Wizards are good at wiping the former, but in smaller group situations (not TW for ex), we are vulnerable to the latter... badly. It's like we are MADE to be weak and have no backup plans except distance shrink.
Even if you think about our offensive genie combos -- we're making ourselves vulnerable by wasting precious genie energy that we need since we lack many defensive skills and antistuns. Or in the case of frenzy, even lowering our resistances.
Well, as to genie combos, they have transformed the game into endless methods of strategies. But that's the problem, you cannot prepare for every contingency. That's good for the game and for the wizard. I use an offensive genie with CE combined with apoth pots for exotics such as sutra powder and god's tea. This gives me a good alchemy to create an attack that will be successfull against most classes, especially if you can quickly identify the attacking class and at the same time get the jump. When this happens for me, I rarely have to kite to win....but I kite alot when I'm the one that gets surprised to avoid the stun and make sure my charm is ticked up. This is usually followed by sutra powder (6 sec invincibility) as a matter of course, then undine/sutra/fow/devpyro/ss/CEchi/sutra'd ult (usually MS). This combination is devastating if it can be employed quickly so the ult is sutra'd. Normally, I get no reaction from my opponent at all if it's done properly. If he by chance survives with too much HP to polish him off with a quick spell, then its time to kite until you can ressurrect your chi for round two.0
