I'm in the Lost City server as a Level 32 L.A. wiz right now (and pk's are a blast, and so easy!) but I'm thinking about switching to Arcane?

I want a Level 100 wiz, whether it's arcane or LA, so if I had a 100 wiz what kind of playing will I have depending on these two different types of builds? I just want to **** everything at 100. (I know I will either way, but I bet you play differently with both...)

Thanks! :D

also I was wondering if I do decide to restat to aa, should i just make a new character or buy scrolls?

    I see 7 threads related to LA/AA.
    I was early taught to work as well as play,
    My life has been one long, happy holiday;
    Full of work and full of play-
    I dropped the worry on the way-
    And God was good to me everyday.

    Arcane wins since the only things that really matter end game pvpwise:

    Nixes - LA does less damage so harder to kill the nix, most likely still won't be able to survive a bleed probably

    Other mages - LA has way less mdef and power, arcane wins everytime

    Perdition - Unless you have over 19k HP, both builds will die anyway

    Actually, I did, but usually all yall know it alls start talking about all this pw stuff that I have NO IDEA what it means. I barely even found it helpful because it was so hard to decipher. Do people not look at people's levels when they answer their forums? I don't even know what a rebirth is and like 3 pages of the other forums talk about it.

    me has been pure arcane since level 1.
    and me have more then enough range and more damage then light armors.
    along with more mana and mana regen.

    Hawk:Do this. closing thread
    frankieraye: I'll see if we can replace the woman with a stick figure and the tiger fangs with marshmallows.//Issues like these need to get escalated quickly to minimize the damage.
    Kantorek: Yeah.. you should try it. It's awesome.
    Sihndra: Nope- not currently possible under any circumstances. Sorry.
    LokisDottir: I mean...not haunting the forums, nope nope..
    Konariraiden: You don't know what you are up against. You will lose.
    Waiting for...Hamster Packs!

    I can think of a variety of ways to survive perdition without having anywhere near 19k HP. Distance shrink should work just fine, and so should double spark and absolute domain and... well, I think I could come up with some other ways of surviving perdition.

    But I really really really want to try charged emberstorm, to see if the damage which kills me gets included in emberstorm's health based damage.
    Distance Shrink does not work in any way because you can be stunned/occult iced. Not to mention lag. Sparking will not save you for the same reason. You won't be able to pot either in that state... so there's domain with a 3 minute cooldown... tree of protection which isn't effective against perdition... and a few other genie skills which aren't too great.
    Wondering how much longer these **** packs are going to be around.

    Well, if you are a wizard, you maybe should be taking steps to avoid being stunned? And wizards have lots of long cooldown issues to deal with. You might also want try staying out of combat during them?

    (Archers have some similar cooldown issues -- so... if you want to play a squishy class and you can not manage your cooldowns you might try a cleric? I think clerics might have ways of soaking damage over longer ranges of time?)
    How do you intend on killing anything if you can't get within 10 meters of a barbarian trying to kill you? Have you done any kind of pvp? lol.

    I have a simple suggestion for you. Instead of starting 10,000 threads asking what you should do 6 months from now, do some research on your own, learn to play, and make the decision yourself if you ever even reach endgame levels.

    You remind me of the people who vote a straight party line on their ballot.

    nice! I like this a lot. Thank you for being so nice as compared to COUGH COUGH ^^^ (Above you) other lame wizzies. Yeah I started LA as emiliagray but i read all of these and my other thread, and I decided to test out this arcane thing (just for kicks). So instead of restatting my 32 level wiz, I decided to make a new arcane. I am doing SO much more damage it's incredible! I already leveled up to 20 in two days, and am so happy I started with la. Going with la to arcane I can see the differences. I notice I do die a lil easier (i just use healing powders a lil more and am learning to kite better), but the damage is so much better. I'm really happy now :D I don't think LA is that bad of a choice either though, I really think it's just a preference.
