If you hold your game cursor at p.def or m.def after clicking on "C" in game, it will show you how much damage will be reduced from mobs at your level.

With elemental shell and 55000 m.def, the damage reduced from lv. 100 mobs will be 90%. b:victory Unfortunately just for 4s.

Feel free to post another hints.

    I've been playing this game since open beta and didn't know that. Thanks!

    I find a lot of people in game don't know about the crit arrow.
    You can craft arrows (or buy) that add +1 to crit percentage. Buy a cheap bow your character can use and equip it then equip the arrows. Your crit change will increase by 1%. Now unequip the bow and equip your normal weapon. The arrow will stay equipped giving you a +1% chance to crit even though you are not using the arrows.

    Yes but it doesn't work. It was HUGE debate about this arrow. Personally I'm wearing this arrow, what if... I think it doesn't work also. :-)

    Sage BIDS - crit procs even if the BIDS is not launched. I had this situation in both TW/FC over week-end and was confirmed by another sage wizard.

    Basically what happens is channel BIDS - Target dies- cast doesn't happen, sparks are not used but the crit buff icon is there. I tried to **** it in PvE, but I couldn't time it right and I didn't spent too much time on it anyway

    No. It doesn't. This argument has been settled, and the crit arrow only works with a bow weapon.

    Use a +Strength/Dex weapon like a requiem blade then equip a melee weapon that you can only use with those stats, then start casting spells.

    Fist's, dual hammers/axes and swords will cast without animation. Makes you look telekinetic. Activate an elemental barrier and time will appear to freeze.

    Poleblades (poleaxes maybe) however do have animations.

    Another one that I didn't know until I was like 82 is, click and hold on some ones portrait, then drag to make their head turn.

    between levels 59-89 or so.. I got constantly jumped by higher lvls, ended up learning that sutra town portal was the best way to get away. :) Another very helpful tip is to have an anti stun genie skill (fortify or badge of courage).. fighting a bm with occult ice that is really good with timing can keep you stunned almost indefintly :(

    Sage GS water resistance decrease works immediately after channeling and before casting and hitting. I realize yesterday when killing boss in abbadon. After finished channeling icon appear under the boss(same as water debuff in dragon palace event)and this icon says water resistance decreased. But most important is, that it appear immediately after channeling so GS hits already debuffed mobs so damage is higher because of water debuff.b:victory

    This holds true for all debuff skills, probably save Undine.
    Bladestorm lets you spin around like a carnival ride and do damage. Not using it is almost like having a move called Confetti Rocket Power Leap and saving it for "emergencies"

    Don't remember when i first heard of this but if u make a jump and immediately cast a spell (before touching the ground) u see the animation of the skill while you're in the air (tested this) but other players will see u jump only after u completed casting the spell (haven't tested this). I never spent time thinking of it's usefulness but it does look cool casting spells in the air b:chuckle

    only problem with that is the skil cooldown longer than the effect, so u cant test like divine pyro. only way if have 2 ppl with same eq and stat and 1 got lv10 another no because the lv11 gs got more dmg too so i dont think ahve other way to test (only +1 but there too need 2 ppl XD)

    Just double click on emberstrom. You can charge it and with double click you will launch it.

    If decrease water resistance icon appear immediately after channeling which is yes, then GS will hit stronger because it's hitting already mob with lower water resistance and next 12s all water spell will do more damage. So it's not true, that water debuff coming after GS. Not it coming after channeling before casting. So hitting already debuffed mob.

    I checked on many skill with added effects, the debuff always happen before the mobs get hit by the damage, so I guess the same happen to sage's skills.

    Attempt to cast a skill then jump allow you to cast it in the air. Especially useful for distance shrink.

    If a mobs is almost death, the mobs have very low evasion, and you somehow run out of mana, you can whack them.

    You can quickly target stuff with TAB.

    Hailstorm is AOE (somehow many wizard I met apparently forgot this and end up aggro 3-4 mobs).

    You can check which monster is a respawn version of which monster by put a DOT on the monster you killed, the newly respawn monster will have the DOT on but have no effect. This allow you to calculate the range in which a certain monster can appear through spawning or wandering, thus allow you to plan out your kiting plan.
