Skills Question

I just started a wizard as well and agree would really appreciate more detailed explanations of skills and their uses, pros/cons etc. In the Newcomers guide above(Sticky) skills have been categorized as level of importance;

If High level wiz's plz give us more insights in regrads to skills, what to focus on and what not, the reasons. What kind os skills do better against what type of mobs. What skills we should leave at level1 and ignore. The most important ones to max as soon as etc.


thx b:thanks

Guides like that shouldn't really be made to be followed step by step imo. There are important bits of information in them but for stuff like this maybe you should try deciding for yourself. For example if you consider you need more pdef lvl stone barrier, if u think your mp bar is letting u down then go for glacial embrace. Or if u find yourself using a certain skill very often and u like its results then lvl up that.

Try to play the game more and you'll get a felling of what should you lvl. Besides "at the end of the day" (at high lvls) you're gonna have all skills that are important to u maxed so really what you're deciding now is just the order you're gonna do that.

Your main priorities are pyrogram, gush, stone rain, Glacial Embrace, Stone Barrier. As a pure wizard you'll need bits of both physical defense+ and mp recovery+. Mp recovery will only prove majorly helpful for levels under 60. After that I wouldnt consider it since you could just pop some mp food or w/e, thing is you'll be recovering more mp every level you get so i wouldnt but a lare PRIORITY RIGHT NOW label on it. Focus on Stone Barrier, that physical defense add on helps pretty nicely. I would focus on pyrogram,gush,stone rain,stone barrier, and divine pyrogram. you'll get divine pyrogram later and its pretty nice if you use it right. Once you reach level 25-30 you'll wanna actually start leveling glacial embrace.

Since you're just starting off thats about all i can tip you for :P Good luck and enjoy the class

Also because of slow casting of heal try to keep it up to your hp - one cast for full hp bar.

I suggest you max this if you can actually. Not for yourself but you are going to need a squad most times in this game anyway, for the worthy stuff. Even if that means it heals you several times over, this is a spell you most times use on others.

I cannot stress how often it has saved me (and my squad) from "oh ****" moments.

I only maxed my heal today (From lvl 5 to 10, had to heal a FB51) and it never was much of a need because I usually used it with sutra to save someone's **** (Mainly tank or cleric). What I mean is its not something you will use alot (unless youre a wanna be cleric with alot of -chan), so if you cant spare the coins, dont need to max it.
