Reworking Wizard Skills

As great as the Wizard class is, it is a bit depressing that we only get self-buffs and one useless water buff. Also, the Wizard class does not get a stun until level 59, at the cost of 2 sparks. PWI should replace some less useful spells with buffs and stuns. Being an elementally based damage class, Wizards should be able to help their allies repel and fight with the elements.

Useless Spells:

Crown of Flame: Fire damage over time
Hail Storm: Area-of-effect water damage with a small chance to stop a target.
Frostblade: Add water damage to target for 10 minutes
Emberstorm: Small area-of-effect that drains 60% of the caster's meager HP in order to deal next-to-nothing damage...at close range, no less!

Proposed Spells (I used corny names to make it sound more formal):

Elemental Sentry: Increase fire, water, and earth resistance by 30% to all allies (The time for which the buff lasts increases with level. Channeling time decreases with higher levels).

    Mirror Shield: Return 10% of magic damage to the user (Damage percentage and length of time increase with level). (This is essentially the Venomancer

    Listless Tide: Slows target’s movement, attack speed, and channeling speed for a short time.

    Vulcan Outrage: A fiery explosion envelops the target, inflicting fire damage and stun.

    The game is already balanced. Wizards get good at endgame. Clerics suck at endgame. Can't be OP all the time.

    Yes, but I think that we should have SOMETHING to offer as far as buffs go. I'm just trying to get people to start thinking. Also, what's the point of having certain spells if no one uses them?

    All classes have some useless skills in their skill trees. Archers, and to a lesser extent, venos, don't have useful buffs either. You can't add all those OP skills to one class of an already balanced game without unbalancing it.

    Ok, these would over-power wizards, I'll concede to this. But these are only ideas, anyway.

    Mages endgame are extremely powerfull, their seal sage/demon version have a fast cooldown, the water buff indeed is worthless, but the actual sidedown of the Mage are their cast time, a good Mage only kickass after you spend tons of money with -%cast equips, thing that don't worth from my point of view, cause you can spend less with another character and still be good like the Mage.

    PS: spend MUCH less money than the Mage b:thanks
