these are true but cannot be control oriented because has only more chance to freeze but not 100%...so its like a card game...u gotlucky or you dont..
Besides Emberstorm can use only if you are close and still its 50% chance..so u may freeze or u may not...
Well maybe sage is better after all due to the Ultimate skills and can use often...0 -
freeze isn't technically control, it's just movement. control would be survival skills, whereas I only use freeze to kill people from running away.0

I think sage is definitely gears more towards the TW aspect of the game. I feel I'm kind of nothing if I don't have 2 sparks, where as at least as demon you could do something. Maybe. I wish I could play to compare, but I can't :["Amour is better suited to rainbow text, because he is a classy lady." - Nakhimov

mage without chi = useless.
i find myself using chi pots alot too zzz0 -
I totally agree. Mages without chi are useless. What is really important is, how often you can use your ultimates. In TW of course. This is most important. Because Your role is hit as hard and as often as you can. Also as many people as you can. For this are ultimates.b:victory[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0

Show me the post where a demon mage says: "Sage wizards do not have enough chi and mages in general do not need to use ults". Kinda curious who the demon wizard is you are referring to.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

Your english is... bleh, anyway, so you are saying 'because sage has more chi it is better than demon', you are also saying that demon mages don't see this argument, and than on top of that you are saying that because demon mages didnt understand/see/thought about (choose whatever you think is right) this they went demon? (for whatever reason, maybe you think they have a smaller IQ than you? (Which I doubt))
And the only argument you actually have is, wait a sec, you don't have any argument. Wow you really are good at having a debate![SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

1.Don't debate about my IQ because yours is much smaller than mine. You can be sure about it. I just cannot argue with you on higher level, because language barrier. That's all.
2.If you speak at least in my language as I'm speaking english. I would admire you. But you are just moron nothing more.
3.It was proved here many time, that everything depend on chi, so I'm not going to repeat it again. Also was lot of time proven, that 5% more on masteries give you more damage with +8 weapon.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

shut up nonfactor.
l2play, go do your 89th culti, shut up, and stop using +2 gears you waste of human flesh and pixels.
dark has plenty, holy has a little more. again, shut up, learn to play, GET TO 89, and stop pretending you know anything about this class.
I've played both dark and holy with almost identical skill books, and I honestly don't see the huge jump in vigor amount. unless you mean every minute when they can make pretty white sparkles flow out their ****. b:bye
If you are so hero, why is not your character here? I want to see how high level you are. You want to be smart, but opposite it true. Play your demon if you want. I have to just laugh about your reason to play demon. Because You know holy **** not how to play your class.b:laugh[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

1. I made the comparison between you and demon mages, not you and me. I also said I 'doubt' yours is higher, you say you 'know' yours is higher (than mine). Don't say things you don't know for sure..
2. I am dutch. I speak dutch (ofcourse), english as I do now, little french little german... sooo... I dont see you speak a single word dutch either..
3. I didnt say I needed prove sage has more chi (and I NEVER said anything about masteries). I said that I wanted prove that demon mages dont see the fact that sage has more chi, which is what you said, without actually showing that demon mages infact dont see that.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

congratulations mimi, go get all these gears and +12 your weapon, because that's the only way you're hitting higher. oh.. wait.. you're not even 89 yet.

without doubt you are fail and obviously no nothing about mages, and imo players like you stay ignorant and stay that way, unable to bring out full potential of a class because you are narrow minded, but please keep trollin
Lol epic first postb:laugh
and theres no point arguing with the troll, he/she hasnt played either of the 2 and like every other low lvl you look at skills and make assumptions but make an **** of yourself in showing how ignorant you are b:shutup.
take the advise troll, small minded people dont get far in anything :P0 -
Really guys, with that war you wage against one another you don't make the choice easier for wizards getting close to 89.
I am really confused about what to choose because both sides are like "Sage/Demon rules because of this and that while the other side is just sooo bad". I don't believe that. I think they are rather even. But still it's really hard to figure out what to become when each side exaggerate ones strengths and the supposed weaknesses of the other path.
Just calm down and try to state advantages/disadvantages of both sides without always telling people how much better your decision is...[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -
To Prof
With this
http://pwcalc.ru/my/?char=cbd700211fa3b67b
Is different much bigger. Just with your calculation is damage ~1000 more for sage. Which is also not bad for END-GAME player.
Also you telling about 1 spell(SS) right? What about another spells where is no additional 1200 demon damage? There must be different even much bigger. You proved yourself, that sage damage is a comparable bigger than sage. And with another spells is this different even bigger.
Example
Your
forumula: (base matk +passive%) + (equipment matk x skill modifer +passive%) + (skill attack +passive%)
Glacial snare SAGE
(base matk +passive%)
1749+25%= 2186
(equipment matk x skill modifer +passive%)
17580(mediocre damage max.damage+ min damage/2)x300%=52740+25%=65925
(skill attack +passive%)
6171+25%=7713
Total 2186+65925+7713=75824
Glacial snare DEMON
(base matk +passive%)
1749+20%=2098
(equipment matk x skill modifer +passive%)
17580x300%=52740+20%=63280
(skill attack +passive%)
6171+20%=7405
Total 2098+63280+7405=72783
Conclusion: With your formula. Sage damage with glacial snare is 75824, Demon glaciar snare is 72783. So Sage damage is 3041 MORE than demon. As you can see with your own formula has sage much more damage comparing with demon.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

True, though from what I learned so far it comes more or less down to whether you prefer 1 vs 1 or TW
The chi advantage of sage isn't that big of a difference but still can help to get off another ulti when needed. Most awesome thing is sage bids.
Demon hits mostly a bit harder, faster and got more useful additions on skills. So it's obviously a better choice for single targets.
I myself changed my decision 3 times already and will probably some more times until I hit 89 b:laugh0 -
I know what you mean.. At first I wanted to go Demon no matter what.. Then I changed my mind.. Now I am undecided again. Oh well, I got some time left. ._.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0

Honestly ask yourself this, who the hell 1v1 on a PvP server? Unless your dueling, chances are as soon as you drop that archer his guild is gonna come to rush your ****. Figure out how you play and what skills you use, the choice will be alot easier.
As a side note, one path isn't better then the other at a substantial rate, they both have their advantages and disadvantages.0 -

Reasons to go demon
-demon spark
-demon fairy
-if you can get a lot of -chan
-wellspring quaff
Demon spark and demon fairy are cool looking and demon spark has a nice effect. If you can get a lot of -chan (like -40%+) you can stack that with demon spark/wellspring quaff to drop your targets before they know what just hit them. The -chan on the demon skills are great with a lot of -chan and using demon spark/wellspring quaff. The downside to demon is that you wont be using your greatest asset (demon spark) as much in TW as you would like to since you would be stop instantly.
Reasons to go sage
-ults
-pyrogram
-stone rain
-DB
-FoW aoe
-chi
-chaining ults together
-DP/GS debuffs
The ults are enough reason alone to go sage. You can do some insane damage. In 4 seconds, a sage wizard can do 10k+ damage to a HA/LA target without trying. pyrogram and master li's technique is great for getting chi without the hassle. Both give you half a spark (pyrogram gives a little less. If i remember correctly, 45). Stone rain is like using sandstorm with the time of pyrogram (thats pretty OP). DB stun in TW is AMAZING! Before you say FoW aoe is bad, there was a time in TW where enemy wizards were zhenning one of our towers. We had to get 4 wizards to FoW them but a sage wizard could've silenced all of them, then drop a BT to send them back to HQ. The DP/GS debuffs would work wonders in sutra combos. Doing something like: 399 chi > sutra > DP > Pyro > BT > DP would effortlessly drop robes/LA. 399 chi > sutra > GS > gush > BIDS > gush/hailstorm would do the same to HA. A sage wizard can easily chain ults together (with a little help from spark pots) in sutra combos. 399 chi > sutra > pyro > MS > double spark pot > BIDS/BT. Depending if you have the sage version of MS and BT, you can possibly do all three with ZERO channeling with a little luck (sadly, i only could get two). The downfall to sage is that you need chi to kill things without effort. Im not saying you cant kill things without chi, its just harder to do it than if you had chi. One thing sage shines at is spike damage. Naturally, sage wizards have a high crit rate since most realize that it is their strong point.
There i argued for both sides. Sorry i didnt have much for demon. I just had to go off what i heard prof say (BTW, prof is really good at stating his points. Im actually reconsidering demon if i can get a decent -chan) since i never played a demon wizard and i doubt one of my guildmates would let me play theirs after i made them look like idiots for choosing demonb:sad
@CeliaZ
Uh Celia,
You keep hearing the same arguments because, thats the argument. You dont go, I support free gold for this reason and then change the reason later.
Many sage wizards offer their perspective kindly and thanks to Haiz, there are a lot of videos. Most of the forum is going sage because people can see and listen from people who actually have the cultivation how good it is. prof offers good arguments, but no one seen a decent demon wiz in action. The only videos are the losstarot guy (terrible) and Vezz (terrible). I think if we people were able to see a demon wiz in action it would be a nicer balance but until then, get used to being one of the four demon wizards in the forum.
Not saying demon is bad, but i prefer sage (even after reconsidering it).
mum may not speak dutch, but i bet that あなたは日本語を話しません。This is an international game and everyone may not speak english well. So be the better person, and try not to bring the language barrier into this. Same goes for you mum.
@mum
Some people will fight for what they believe in. When this happens, just say gg and let it go. You offer many valid points and that offends people. I know this personally. Good Luck on getting to sage, you are almost there and i hope you enjoy it.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. -cheze0 -

So do you want me to calculate difference with lower refined weapon? I can do it with neon purgatory +8 refined. You will see that sage has always bigger output with this weapon.(maybe except SS) All another spells will be stronger. I can calculate it with your formula and I can calculate ultimates. Do you want me to do that? I don't think so.b:laugh[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0
