    Also, I took actually took time reading Adroit's long azz criticism post, and I do agree with something there. I wasn't open enough to actually call a tie on something. I'll go fix that in my freetime. b:chuckle

    Wizard is the best at almost nothing. It's fun though. Where's the challenge at playing the class that is the best?

    Having read this thread, i believe being a wizard maybe the most challenging form in PW. Whilst im only a youngster lv36 wizard who stands amongst giants. I no in time i will become a formidable opponent for anyone in game. Wizardry is an art form that requires patience, skill and the ability on the players behalf to listen and learn from those at the top. I for one am loving it, the advise is a good blueprint for anyone starting out thank you to all... Have fun!

    Thank you for once again contributing. I'm sure that you picking apart his post was much more helpful than me extending an offering to help him should he play on my server.

    Hello,

    Just finished reading the replies to my post, i'd like to first thank you DaKillanator for your offer of help. I'm on the Dreamweaver server atm, and i've met few high level wizards (100+) in game. They have offered some advise. So any further advise or assistance your able to give would be appricated in future, should i move to the RT server. b:thanks

    I like the idea of being able to 1 shot kill opponents. Which is what a wizard should be able to do anyway imo. How can you be a master of the Arcane (at lv 100+) and not be able to one shot kill?

    Hopefully it's not how the game has been developed that you can't. Can someone shed any light on this? I know you can do it against lower level opponents but can you do it against opponents that are the same level?

    Thanks again, and happy hunting.

    First of all, you're welcome b:cute

    Second of all, on the subject of 1 shotting:
    In this game, gear is a big deal. So if your gear is much better than somebody else, then you could easily 1 shot somebody of the same level.

    Now as for 1 shotting people of the same level and gear:
    1 shotting is a sort of misleading term. Usually a "1 shot" involves debuffing the target, getting their hp to about ~50%, and then hitting them with one of our ultimates. I know it's not as impressive as being able to downright 1 shot somebody from full health, but it's still nice to be able to finish somebody off without needing to tick their charm.

    Ask around on your server for a wizard that knows what they are doing. See who the high ranked pvp wizards are on your server and ask them for help. I've never heard of one refusing to do that.

    Its better than random thoughts from someone that seems so self-impressed.

    Sweet guide! I've been looking for one to see which skills to prioritize on. Two of my faction members keep showing off with their fancy blue dragons and 1 hitting everything, so I decided to join in the fun.

    There aren't enough wizards on Sanc anyway. =P

    I'd go with the full magic build. You should end up killing things faster and get hit less, wearing up to date magic armor, and you can add citrine shards to your armor later to increase health a lot better than adding any vit will.

    <_< I've never made an LA caster, and I don't plan to. All the Rank gear for caster classes is Arcane, most of the rewards are either Arcane or Heavy, and you'll be missing out on way too much damage and magic defense if you go LA and just end up spending money to reset your stats to wear Arcane anyway. b:chuckle

    First of all, I really appreciate your compliments. But concerning this portion right here, there aren't enough legit sources of information on the new wizard skills for me to include them in my guide. I could be proven wrong, if you send me a link, and I can summarize it in my guide.
