If that was your first time ever pvping as a wiz, I think you did very well.

I thought the easiest thing you could have done that would have helped you in the fights was to take it to the air. If you don't have purify weapon, there really isn't any question that you will have a better time surviving in the air.. the bm can't stay on top of you nearly as well and you have on demand half damage whenever you want. Even though the bm can also drop for half damage anytime, most of the ways you are going to kill the bm won't really give him that option (can't drop while you're slept for ex). Even if you'd rather not fight in the air the whole time, if you notice that your fow and fortify are both on cd (and you just blinked for ex) you can double jump and hop on your mount as another kiting option. The bm will usually follow you up.. where you can then decide if you want to keep flying away or just drop back to the ground and continue on (and you've just dodged a stun + given your skills more time to cd with no cost at all). Obviously he can reel in, but that's the kind of thing that you want to save badge for.

I also think you could have benefited from using hailstorm/pitfall more often, and less undine. You want to use undine when you are trying to do a lot more damage, there were many times in the video where your fow/fortify were on cd and you undined and didn't get a single other hit off while the bm was debuffed (because you were forced to kite or were stunned).. you'd be better off using that undine cast time for a pitfall/hailstorm/pyrogram.. something with a chance to proc and that gives you chi. You could also use tactical reversion more while kiting, I really like to fow a bm.. use some skill -> tactical reversion -> blink b4 seal runs out.. works great cuz they are usually just about to get to you b4 they port back.. and then lag and by the time they get to you again blink is off cd lol. It's like 10 seconds of free hits most the time.

There are also a number of other kill ideas you might try. One of my personal favorites is to get them to ~half hp and undine -> sutra + spark -> d.pyro.. this is almost impossible to react to and a crit will almost certainly bypass them (depending on their gear, a non-crit may as well). Another really good one is to get them to half and mortal reversion, tick them with gush or w/e -> (make sure you won't get interrupted.. which means immune pot or fow or something of the like) -> sutra + spark combo. There were also a number of times where the bm was down to like less than 20% hp just before charm was about to tick.. instead of going for the kill try mortal reversion, it is almost instant and gives you extra time to finish it off in the next charm tick. You already do a pretty good job with sleep -> ulti for bypass, my only suggestion with that is be a little more picky about the times you choose to use it (you can only use once every 2 mins), I would save it until the bm is at half hp so you don't need a crit on spark BT to kill.

You should also get auto pot, remap your hotkeys, possibly delevel wind shield to level 1, and try to conserve your genie a little more, but those are all secondary concerns imo. Overall I thought you did a really good job for your first time

Biggest thing that I saw is you get stunned and badge out w/o even getting a charm tick. If you get hit with drake bash thats a hard hitting skill on cooldown, why not ride out the stun if you can? If you have decent ping you can blink out of range in between drake bash and roar of the pride. Everything else has pretty much been stated.

Also, wait longer to seal. Sealing a bm when he's 10m away then using undine is kind of a waste of seal time. You could undine then seal and 9/10 you'll seal him out of his stun. Nice video though
