How to play mage 2

Soo.... apparently pwi has a lot of haters.
I'm sorry, i had an extra 400 million coins that i didnt know what to do with.
Now who wants to give me advice on some wizard pk strategies other than roll face into keyboard. b:surrender
My experience so far is that i do well against all melee classes but have trouble getting interupted by ranged stuns and sleeps before i can channel (because wizard channeling is slow, i wish i knew that before i started...)
Most of the time i can drop arcanes with 1 blade tempest but not all the time. and when i cant i just have to run.
My main concern though is how do i fight without sparks. Like every kill move uses sparks.
And for those that have already done it. Will getting my tt99/manifest virtue change my play style.
pk/tw/pvp wizard videos are much appreciated

Roll face on keyboard at teh speed of drillcat and you will be fine.
b:thanks
also slightly more serious ish yesh alot of wizard's power comes from having sparks.
so. um....me suppose me not at a high enough level yet but.....
Genie skill Chi Eruption, apoth chi pots, and master li tech (sage) helps to get chi.
Killing without having sparks would mean you have to survive (use FoW/Sleep/Distance Shrink) until you can figure out something (fight/escape)

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!

To all your questions:
Make a mage, get it to 90 atleast, then go back to this character.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

Really sad. Why did you make another post..-.-
But honestly the best way to learn how to PK is just experience it.
Also, PK pots are a must, and a proper genie. Get on that

"And for those that have already done it. Will getting my tt99/manifest virtue change my play style"
it will if you have carefully planned your char in advance for powerplay , how to do it ? It requires at least knowledge of your class( no offence but in your case it's impossible unless you play it a lot and will spend fortune on switching gems inside armor/weapons. Just in case your 400mils is nothing in comparison to gem switch b:chuckle)

Just try to get as much PVP experience as possiple mages real power comes from how pro the class makes the player in the course of lvling I mean.
I already know EXACTLY how will everyone fight me and how much each skill is gonna hit and how much is that in % to the enemy's hp and so on.
Just PVP alot and you already gone through the hell part of not being able to win anything and all the anger furstration and sadness that comes with it so go out there and duel/PK your **** off and you will get the hang of it.
Videos are not gonna help you much though cuz each situation requires a diffrent tactic and the ability to read the other player is a must when playing mage and you will get that....in time.Is Back once more.
sorry med school needs some time.0 -
/nbefore probable lock for second thread >_<
And as stated before.... go out and experience it... don't be afraid of dying.........>_< I'm a wizard in disguise... you know like the old cartoon... except with less robots and more fire/ice/rocks....0 -
I really don't think it's a good idea doing any sort of pvp without chi, reason being you need chi for distance shrink, sutra, sporphic whisper and the larger spells that deals the huge dmg needed to finish a target at times.
If you're really serious about "how to play a mage" go white name like people said, you got nothing to loose.. you already made this thread asking for advice and as for PK vids try using search button there are a couple around.
good luck to you as well man0 -

Honestly, I'm of the opinion that if you have to ask how to play mage at level 98, you've failed.
Either figure it out or dump the character. There's literally nothing we can do to help you figure it out. Mages take instinct, skill, and a bit of luck to be good. Anything less and you'll forever be known as the "fail oracle noob who sucks at his class."0 -

Since he's made several of these posts, I'm inclined to say no. But then again, he's not exactly getting the kind of answers most trolls look for, so why would he keep posting if he wasn't serious?0 -

I don't see how he gets much lulz from this.
It's not like he's getting death threats and the like.
It's only real lulz when someone becomes an hero. :P0 -

Solving problems requires the ability to identify them, and you are making some progress there. But... each of our spells has a unique and interesting characteristic which makes it different from any other spell. And using them in the right order, with the right timing, and appropriate tactical geometry, can make all the difference. Figuring out how to do this involves a fair bit of trial and error, but sometimes you also discover new and better approaches from your mistakes.
Anyways, for interrupts, you have two options. The best one is to avoid getting hit so you do not get interrupted. But of course that does not always work, so casting again is another alternative. But do you really need this kind of thing explained to you?
whut the...heck......
b:shocked
me think you be taking this game....way too seriously.....
it's not like becoming a barb automatically makes you stupid either.
XD
ya.....even a BM can think and solve problems. b:sweatdarthpanda16: Firefox crashed on me. Aryannamage: I don't think I am a GM that would be new.

Aren't you supposed to be the fuzzy one? :P0 -
How much did you pay for your account
Lmao at not knowing how to kill without sparks
Not even bothering to read replies0 -
what is he trying to say but in hamster language Cholla is that all classes require thinking....
True but the type of thinking they require is much much less than the kind of thinking mage requires...
Dont believe me Ask anyone who have played another class then rolled a wizzy they will tell you the same thing i for one have tried archer and i felt like a ****** only cuz i played mage first.......Is Back once more.

This is why you play wizard. You just learned that you need a lot of chi to do the things you want to do. If you knew this before, you would have gone sage to help you out. There is only one thing you can do, learn how to play as a demon wiz. If you cant do that, quit now.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 -
ehh Haiz is pretty good.
