pyroshell?

TimeTwister - Harshlands

i was wondering, is pyroshell ever useful? i mean the hp regen is useless and the fire resist is like even more useless so is it ever used in pve/pvp?

GiantSquidy - Heavens Tear

rarely ever used.
Only place i ever used it for pve is warsong fire, even then its helpfulness is questionable.

Shadowfire - Dreamweaver

I've used it before doing 3-x solo mode for the 3-minute boss (no time limit on him in solo mode ofc, but he hits harder/uses fire magic at range).

Other than that, i rarely use it.

Adroit - Lost City

I've only used it for pve, mainly bosses like wurlord, warsong fire, and fb 79 (lol haven't done that in ages). I've been considering using pyroshell if I was 1v1'ing a mage with genie spark and just making sure to use a pdef charm so that stray BT wouldn't hurt, but haven't had an opportunity to test this idea yet.

Shevanel - Sanctuary

I use sage Pyroshell when fighting that one boss in Abaddon.

Too many times have I been in a squad where the bm thinks he can tank it, runs in, dies, cleric folllows, archers/sins get caught in the aoe and dies, and Im stuck kiting/taking hits just so it doesn't reset.

Apart from that, the others have been said.

Malord - Heavens Tear

Only us Pyroshell for tanking Wurlord and Soloing Mono in abba b:surrender

Myai - Heavens Tear

It's helpful when tanking Drake (fire) in FB/BH59 too. For the fire resistance... b:surrender

HexOmega - Dreamweaver

i would tank fire bosses with water shell still,
especially one that weak like drake


pyroshell comes in handy in warsong bh2 or 2 bosses of abaddon when ur charmed


really even the suicidal aoe or crown of flame are 1000 times more useful





keep it at lvl1 until ur lvl100

Usefull moments of pyroshell

Culti 51 outside of FB 51 --> 2 of the 3 bosse there do range Fire dmg
Drake and Gluttonix in FB 59 --> both attack Fire in Range mode
Hooli the Black in FB 79 -->uses Fire Attack ( im not sure abou Linus and Brig)
All Fire Range mobs like all Foxwings the Pyrowraiths or Apostle( Heaven)
or Towers and Mobs in Burning Heart .....

Personally i see the main use of Pyroshell in the dmg reduction and not in the HP recovery
I mean many of these Firemobs deal significantly more dmg without the shell compared to using the shell. On Apostle its -150dmg/hit for me which is quite a difference especially if you have more mobs attacking you at the same time

BloodyVampie - Heavens Tear

i use pyroshell whenever i tank a boss that doesnt hit me physical or with water magic.

best option imo.

so yes pretty handy, and one of the best skills for wizard imo

since the mana u get from watershield is almost zero when u r in a battle (only use it when i walk from A to B to recover mana)

earthbarrier is more pvp skill then anything else, (in pve only use for physical aoe or tank boss that hits physically since normal mobs wont reach u)

WhiteVodoo - Raging Tide

this is the way i look at it. each shell is for a different successful wizard biuld.

-earth shell: light armor wizard with acouple spare points on vit (my biuld)

-water shell: pure magic arcane wizard

-fire shell: arcane wizard, every spare point in vit

the water shell biuld is the most common for the remaining wizards of the game, the earth shell biuld is less common, but still there, and to the best of my knowledge the fire shell biuld is completely non-existant.

the reason the fire shell biuld is non-existant is because it's strength is in it's very high hp amount and with the high vit combined with the fire shield, it's high hp regain rate. it's the same concept as a barb, but with less physical defence. and lets face it, if you're biulding a defensive magic user, you probly got sick of dieing in acouple hits from physical attacks, and wanted to up your Pdef.

what the biuld would be great for is being able to take hits from other magic users during a TW of other multiple player pvp situations, while focusing your attention on bombing melee attackers. high m defence+high hp=great defence agenst magic users. however unless that magic user is a light armor biuld, they've got a higher attack than you aswell as around your Mdef. so you'd be completely reliant on the melee user to attack the magic users attacking you while you were attacking the melee users attacking him. there also isn't really allot of call for any of that since there are better stratigies, so not allot of people have the biuld.

(tried all 3 biulds up to lvl 45, liked light armor the best, sticked with it, scrapped the other 2 fer cash, then deleted)
