    2) I'm afraid I might create a failure, how do I prevent this?

    There are common functional builds and abstract builds. The more common builds are the Pure Magic build and the Light Armor build. The more abstract builds are the Hybrid and Balanced builds. As long as most of your stat point distribution goes to Magic, you should not have too much difficulty coping with the game. What you should watch out for is leveling and acquiring skills you don't really need and not have enough points to use later on.


    3) Type of Wizard Builds and Point Distribution
    Rating System: 1 being lowest, 5 being highest.

    Pure Magic build: Attack Rating - 5, Defense Rating - 2
    Every Two Levels
    Magic 9 Points
    Strength 1 Point

    Hybrid Build
    : Attack Rating - 4, Defense Rating - 3
    Every Two Levels
    Magic 7 Points
    Vitality 2 Points
    Strength 1 Point

    Light Armor Build
    : Attack Rating - 4, Defense Rating - 4
    Every Level
    Magic 3 Points
    Dexterity 1 Point
    Strength 1 Point

    Balanced Build
    : Attack Rating - 2, Defense Rating - 5
    Every Level
    Magic 2 Points
    Vitality 1 Point
    Dexterity 1 Point
    Strength 1 Point

    These are listed in terms of attack power. Each one of these has it's own strengths and weaknesses with its own uses and its own strategies. The further down the list you go, the more strategies become available, but the less damage you can do. It is highly recommended to decide between Pure Magic and Light Armor, but it is still a subjective matter.
    ...


    Although I not agree with thoughts about pure magic build (Defense Rating is more, because of high magical defense), above are common rules to apply stats.

    my wizzys sorta like yours, i got like 83 vit base like 108 vit or so with adds, 51 str ehh 60 with adds, 312 magic about 360 with adds, and 20 dex and about 30 with adds. Besides my gear stones, i got 3900 hp or so unbuffed and 8 k mp unbuffed. I got an 8 % crit, soon to be 10%, and im arcane.

    Besides that i take agro from barbs 90+ eventualy, easy pve, and decent 1 on 1 pvp.

    n any wizzy build is difficult till 90 +, cus thats when we excell over other classes

    Way too much vit and too much dex, max base vit should be 50 or you start losing more damage then the extra hp is worth; max base dex should always be 5. I by no means have good armor, but I have 11% crit with 5 dex, it all comes from gear. I do have 50 base vit because I felt that I needed the extra bit of hp to be able to contend in TW. With my current build and armor, I have 6600 hp buffed, 10k pdef fully buffed, and about 8k mag att fully buffed.

    your build is messed up, but ignoring that wizzies NEVER excel above other classes. We start catching up to even.. but never do better than the other classes.

    Yes, always, because, for example, barrage of arrows, with its two spark cost and ends-when-target-dies bug is always superior to dragon's breath which has half the spark cost and can eat through wave after wave of riders or whatever while the archer has to build chi in one-on-one battles mostly too far away to get the drops from.

    Personally, I doubt I will ever have the buffed pdef of a pure arcane wizard, nor the damage bursts, nor some of the other perks. I can be useful, yes, sometimes, but not in the same ways that you can.

    well the evasion makes up (unreliable) for the lack in pdef ;)

    I'm confused. You must be talking about something PvE, since you said "to get drops". And getting drops means you solo. I don't recall many things where DB is even remotely more useful than barrage in solo play. True it's more useful than archers in delta (but there's no drops so that can't be what you were talking about, plus it's not solo, doesn't matter who picks the drops).

    But then again it's also much more rubbish in TW compared to barrage.
