    Dex hybrid is ****.
    Might as well be heavy.

    Pure for grinding, better consistant dmg, better mdef.

    Hybrid wizards with one vit per level have more mag def end game than pure mag >.>

    Congrats you have 1000 more hp, 200 more mdef (1% reduction IF EVEN THAT) and do 1/2 of the damage you could be doing.

    hibrid wizard is a waste. 10HP/vit is worst return for all classes prolly.
    well, if u have a specific purpose for a while ( need 1k HP to survive RB or something) then yeah, vit might be an option. To have your wizz like that all the time it's just fail.

    was discussing this with a friend last night, apparently clerics get 10hp/vit as well.

    yeah,they do.
    But u can't play a cleric and a wizzard the same way.
    Clerics need more HP than wizards to stay alive. They have way less pdef and somehow comparable mdef if we don't have shield for that specific element. And first and foremost, they need to tank some dmg and keep that BB up.
    I don't think they can go 1vit each lvl because the healing power is based on magic dmg. But a 8-1-1 build I think is a good option to have about 400-500 HP more than a wizz. I never read a hybrid cleric guide, so I might be a little off with the numbers

    Yes, mages get 10 HP per vit, but not only that, all of mages damage is derived entirely by 3 things; their spell levels, weapon, and int.

    On a pvp server I believe clerics should be pure vit, because in pvp they should be healing. Venos can afford to be pure vit as well, because of broken pets. But mages? Mages are like archers, DDs, can't afford points into vit.

    ok first thing
    im talking about LA pre-90
    past 90 LA is pointless
    the damage loss isnt noticable
    my pyrogram and gush still do 4k to mobs
    my sandstorm 7k
    my ultis 11k

    in pvp i dont even notice a difference


    cleric vit build is 6 mag, 3 vit, 1 str
    thats the most common cleric build
    Sins are Scissors. Psychics are Rocks.
    Archers, Venos, Barbs, Wizards, BMs, Mystics, Seekers are Paper.
    ...and Clerics are Mushrooms.
    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. -cheze

    pfft all ur guides, sticky sux, now look at spirea's revised wizard GUIDE b:angry

    Full Intel: Put everything into int to deal 2% more damage, increases chance of getting 1 shotted by 75%.


    Light armor : Deal less damage than an afk veno with pet on defensive and reduces chance of getting 1 shotted by 5%. Enough str and dex for your reduction in 1 shot equipment, pour other points into int, we'll need it being anyone who makes a wizard is dumber then a rock.

    Hybrid : add int and vit and str any way you want, youll suck either way.

    Melee wizard : hey, we are already useless, might as well go for the gold. everything in str and dex. remember to max frostblade.

    Pwetty wizard : female, with maximum bust size, generally used to beg for money and/or items since we will be extremely poor. best suited for levels under 30.

    Dumb wizard : suited for 89+, spending months of work to realize wizards suck

    Now here are your stats and what they do :

    Vit : Decreases chance of getting 1 shotted by 0.01% per point
    Int : the higher this is, the lower yours is.
    Dex : increases % of running away from other classes
    Str : best stat, allows us to do damage without being 1 shotted or interrupted.

    now feel free to add ur contributions b:chuckle

    I'm hitting around,

    11-14k with nukes
    6-8k with gush/pyro
    22k+ with ulti's

    The damage difference between LA and Pure isn't constant, it gradually grows bigger.

    At lv.40 and LA and a pure will notice about 10% difference in damage.

    At lv.70 20%

    At lv.90 30%

    LA is a great beginning build, but it steadily becomes weaker, and diminished returns mean your eventually the defence difference will be around 7% when it was once 25%.

    After talking to a friend two levels lower than me and finding out she had a MAG stat of 510, I'm wondering whether to replace crit with the highest stable damage I can manage.

    510 MAG at 84? Isn't there a cap at 505 per stat? Regardless, 510 at 84 is insane :O

    nope, your crits don't make up for that.
    1st, u don't have reliable dmg. If u don't want to be hit, you're gonna have to kite. U will need at least 1 more hit to kill a mob, often 2 = more MP. Healing after a while = extra MP or cash for pots. To even out the dmg u do in time, u need to crit every 4th hit on a gush/pyro and every 3rd nuke hit. I'm sorry, but that's the crit rate of a full dex archer, there is no way in hell an LA wizz can do that.

    And there u go, in your own words
    wow 2k damage
    that's 500/ dmg in PvP, on similar equipped wizzies. There's a huge diff if u can kill someone in 2 hits or 3, about 33% faster I would say.

    Don't forget to mention that we have at least a 2% crit too. So we can crit as well just not as often. Also, our crit's will make him wet himself.

    i done 42k on fb 70 last boss with sandstorm
    i really dont have a problem getting hit by mobs
    the only time i get hit is when im talking in faction chat and fighting a mob b:chuckle but its worth it cause Equinox faction chat is always interesting.

    i went to TW as LA
    i died twice vs normally dying 6 times
    i was getting hit by 2 BMs and 1 barb.
    took out the barb (<3krits)
    took out the BM (<3krits)
    blinked back before my charm ticked
    nothing i could have ever done as pure, especially when the 9x archer started hitting me b:shocked

    These were 3x right? There is no way that you would have been able to move if you had the stun's going off and the damage in your face like that. NOTICE: LA gets Slightly more survivability (to phys atk) not enough to withstand 3 ppl your level bashing on you (unless they underlevel you by a lot). Oh and do tell all the time's other wiz's and ep's 1shot you b:bye. I also assume you mean fb69 b:puzzled. If you're not getting hit then you have no need to be LA so come join us. I tried LA and it was pathetic in damage and way to dependent on crits (again just my opinion).
