    This might be kind of a strange question, but has anyone ever tried to blink TOWARDS an archer to get into their minimum range so their damage gets a huge cut?

    I mean, I guess they can push you back their own repelling skill, but say that you blink into their min, they repel you, you FoW, then run back into minimum and caste Sandstorm?

    I'm kinda newb at this game still, so if I'm getting this all wrong, please tell me :)

    I'm probably not going to do much PvP, but I always find it fun to do some theorycraft.

    Yah know. I used to think Pandora was just some punk kid with more like minded evil losers to boss around than anyone should ever have... but upon reading this guide it turns out he actually has a clue.

    Props on the guide. I actually have a shred of respect for you now... b:victory

    There's no doubt Pandoras a great leader.
    But their reputation on the servers only turned bad because some (which even they say they laugh at) of their members pk very low levels.

    Anyhow DiFiore, blinking into an archer is actually a very good idea.
    Becareful of their winged attacks though, those hurt.
    Knockbacks don't work in pvp, so you're safe from their knockbacks.

    But know your distances well, or you might blink overboard or not close enough and get yourself killed =)

    yep yep HP shards Ftk !!!
    and also dont worry for TT70 armor set, it sux for wizards or other spell casters, go for like Pants of hades,armor of greiving sorrow,boots of tiger strength and blood fang bracers (all legendary items with 1% reduce dmg pys and hp boosts), these are wat i use for pvp :) the TT armor sets got Evasion boosts which arnt good for pvp against spell casters ^^

    Can someone tell me if the light build is meant to be used with the light armor? What about the arcane armor?

    Yes, light build is light armor. Arcane would be for people that are Pure magic or some sort of hybrid build

    you can't be a wizard and "not suck on it" wizards is failed class.

    You probably tried to play Wizard and failed at it. That you are to noob to play a Wizard succesfuly doesn't mean that all of us fail at it.

    So, go away. b:pleased

    Call me an idiot but:

    One of the major compliments I got on my archer guide was how in depth I was about the skills, and I plan to do the same right here for us mages.

    I cannot find such a guide. PW-MY forums perhaps, or am I just blind?

    Great guide Pandora. Rolled a mage for the hell of it and am enjoying the lowbie levels quite a bit. Looking forward to the challenge to come, and to seeing this spoken-of archer guide. You might be an ****, but you're a kickass ****, and you run a kickass guild, and for that I respect ya. b:victory

    Awesome guide. b:victory
    So, for my build I've been doing this every 2 lvls: INT+8, VIT+1, STR+1
    So far the build is pretty good and working well. Most of the time I kill off mobs the same lvl as me before they touch me. So, I'm pretty much looking for suggestions and advice about this build. Should I keep goin on or go Full INT Wiz?
    Thnx for any advice. b:bye

    Personally i don't think the Vit will do you much good long run, but at early levels while you get the hang of your char it may be useful. I built my vit early and then restattted it back in to magic once i felt i knew how to play my char and had a large variety of spells to avoid getting hit. If you don't anticipate being able to restat due to lack of in game money later on or unwillingness to spend in cash shop i would stop with the vit now. having 20 or 30 vit won't kill you, it just won't really help you either later on

    The general rule is "full int if you're not PVPing." The survivability is acceptable with robes (and even "good" lategame, where all the mobs are magic...) and the extra damage will help you to level faster.

    If you start focusing on PVP, that would be the time to reconsider your build and maybe make the move to light.

    Now...

    Quite a few people have **** bricks, but yes, I went Heaven. There are a number of reasons for this choice, but basically, which you choose (sage/devil) boils down to personal preference. In my eyes, because of stone rain and the chi skill, Heaven is superior to Hell when the only skills you can mod are the first three. This is obviously up for debate and always will be, but I have chosen heaven because I like the mod for stone rain and if I ever make it to 99 I'll also like the mod for distance shrink and Wellspring Quaff... If by some miracle the Wellspring Quaff description is accurate and the +100% matk bonus is for the full duration of the buff (and not 15 seconds like the devil version's description is). I somehow really doubt that to be the case, though.

    Devil is surely not without it's advantages, however. Devil Fury Burst/Chi Spark/Big Glowy Red Cone/Whatever is fearsome, adding the +700% matk that the Holy version does but also tacking on a whopping +25% channeling speed, which is nothing to scoff at. The Heaven fury burst adds -25% damage taken but to be honest, it's barely noticable in PVP and shouldn't really be relied on. I heaven burst when I have multiple targets that I feel I can take out quickly, because I find using sutra on multiple targets is a waste (it runs out too fast.) Keep in mind that both bursts are pretty **** unless nobody has noticed you because as soon as you burst you get stunned/slept/sealed and ignored.

    Because the bigger your damage, the bigger your epeen.

    Judging from the descriptions of other versions of the game, Pandora, Wellspring Quaff's +100% magic attack duration is 15 seconds, just like its demon counter part for -channeling speed.

    Pandora, great guide. Bad luck with the TW tho, CQ are first and BLT second. At least you can beat WolfBlade though, but thats not really an accomplishment.

    At lvl 100 you get a skill that increases your Mag. Damage by a specific % depending on your maximum mana, and as a Pure INT you will have a lot more mana than a Light Wizard, therefore the damage difference between a Light Armor Wizard and a Pure INT Wizard will be by a lot.

    All Wizards have to do is hit a Archer once to kill them, do you honestly believe they can survive this kind of damage?
    You dont need to run from archers, you put them to sleep and 1 hit them.b:bye

    I think most people have already said that restating to Arcane after level 90 is a good idea, just that LA helps a lot from 70-89 or something if you want to TW and PvP.
