    i Have a question, all the wizards i know always complains about their hp. is it really easy to die with wizards? and if it is easy to die with wizards, how will they even survive in a TW?

    I was kind of wondering this as well... I am a lvl 25 wizard full mag build currently.

    Umm.. wizards never taking agro? what lvl is your wizy lol?

    And dont post about venos here, everyone knows bah blah, venos are best, yeah yeah, they are also easiest to lvl, make money, pvp, and get invited to squads all the time. Venos are just for people who want to be "good" at the game without having to try, period, simple :P

    If your making a wizard... be prepared to not be wanted in groups right away, get beat by most other classes in low lvls.

    Though.. wizards are in my opinion great for lvling themselves, with your ability to kill soo fast and kite, then be able to ehal yourself, then pop on GE to regen your mp and do it all again within two mins, easy xD

    wizzies survive in TW by the use of charms/pots/powders like everyone else
    we have to fly and or hide behind ppl or on walls
    but even then our survivability is not too great and you will often get 1 or two shotted


    basically you survive by not getting hit :)

    You said this is the base of the wizard:

    Primary Spells: You'll need these spells to function in the game. Absolutely needed.
    Pyrogram
    Gush
    Stone Rain
    Distance Shrink
    Essential Sutra

    Do we have to max them before getting the secundary ones? or we just leave them on lv1?

    Thanks for your time, cya!

    Wizards use all three. Some like to specialize but thats not necassary.

    Primary essentially means max as soon as you can, keep them leveled. Any leftover spirit goes to Secondary then Tertiary etc...

    Awesome guide! after reading this I decided to alter my original plan for my wizard and gonna go for a variation on some of the builds. As for skills well i'm doing similar but gonna get the fire mastery as it becomes available. but still many thanks for the info.

    don't be quick to lvl up fire mastery, not until u have sp to spare.
    Better lvl up the earth mastery, the SS and SR will make you 2/3 shot a lot of water mobs ( around 6x and then again around 76-77). You will live a lot in water during those lvls.
    It's good to have the fire mastery around 10%, but keep the earth one maxed. Our biggest dmg comes from earth, so be sure you have that up to 20% added to your dmg

    Wizard's Guide for Newcomers


    5) Recommended Spells in terms of Priority

    Primary Spells: You'll need these spells to function in the game. Absolutely needed.
    Pyrogram
    Gush
    Stone Rain
    Distance Shrink
    Essential Sutra

    Secondary Spells: Level these whenever you can, but never at the cost of a Primary Spell.
    Morning Dew
    Dragon's Breath
    Sandstorm
    Blade Tempest
    Black Ice Dragon Strike

    Recommendations: Spells to be considered when there's nothing else to level up but have SP available.
    Glacial Embrace
    Stone Barrier
    Frost Blade
    Manifest Virtue
    Mountain's Seize

    Optional: You can grab these out of personal taste, but not at the cost of something important.
    Wellspring Quaff
    Glacial Snare
    Will of the Phoenix
    Force of Will
    Soporific Whisper

    End Game: Raise only when everything else needed is raised.
    Fire Mastery
    Water Mastery
    Earth Mastery
    Undine Strike
    Hailstorm

    Everything else you can get after that.

    Why do people write guides before they've even played half the game?

    Streaker's guide was trash (I think it was posted as a joke), and this is just lol fodder.

    P.s. Seraphim & Mizouni (although mizouni's is too long to take seriously) both have better guides that won't lead to broken mages needing to spend fortunes on restating & leveling up essential skills they skipped... replace please?

    Hey my name is Feehily_Hawt - I play in Lost City ...

    My friend told me that I should add 4 points to mag. and 1 point to str every time I lvl up. No matter what build I am he says I need to add 1 to str every time I lvl and then the 4 points goes to the class that I am. I asked him why and he told me that it's because so I can wield weapons and armor in my lvl.

    Please message me back because I have created over 50 accounts so far and I've failed in all classes and all my accounts are ruined! I really need your help.

    xxx..

    Well your on DW so your not gonna be a target unless you choose to be. I guess it's ok, 1-60 is a pain and Vit will help a bit, but not a lot.

    I find it better to use +hp gear personally. But I guess your damage loss won't really be noticed till around 7/8x.
