That's a big problem concerning PWI mechanics. There's no rank gear directed to melee venos, which are mostly heavy and use magic swords rather than patakas. Perhaps the day PW devs change the rank 9 adds just like they've done with rank 8 they happen to remember melee is a relevant part of venomancer play and then add…

I agree. There's little to discuss nowadays. Even the trolls left. For the sake of curiosity I'd like to know if there's 1 single wiz in PWI with 100% channel reduction and that's all.

If one is to win the add lottery upon recast and get some pretty interval numbers the following polearm can turn such underlooked path into the most powerful one: ☆☆Glaive of the King: Eon

For the case Yaoqi can be used in fox form we have a very usable skill for PvP. Dance is not that good. After all genies can do quite the same without the spark cost. Lock soul is a nice one. Should allow parasitic nova combos to get even better for PvP. For PvE I don't think one is to use noxious on single targets instead…

All magic weapons deal both magic and physical damage. And they're so just because of venomancers. No other caster has physical-based skills. Absorb Soul, Plume Shot and Blade Tempest are 100% based on magic attack.

PWI is driven by the cash shop to the very point player effort and proficiency are secondary attributes. We talk about venos here but it gets much worse with other classes.... My BM has Sage Bell but when I have another BM in squad like 70%+ of them will keep overriding mine with lvl10 or demon and will keep doing on and…

Not all arcane venos out there afford a full r8/r9 set + high grade garnets so they can tank phys things without a herc. So I say it's important to the most regardless of the level. Concerning squads there's little use for a tank that can't hold aggro but certain pets have decent damage numbers on their own and may have…

Welcome back Rei. As you see lots of things changed...

Queen - Innuendo

You should be able to equip all weapons matching your level. While most will recommend using axes rather than polearms at your lvl all 4 different weapon paths (+ bows) have interesting - though often situational - uses. Getting all the weapons is probably not worth cost-wise at your level but that's important part of the…

Saw a wizzy playing with Rock Powder + Bramble Guard a few weeks ago at Secret Passage. Lots of QQ from the sins.

Same to Arcane. You may have another caster alt and wear the same gear... ...except if you choose to wear rank gear.

Arcane is still easy if you afford r8/r9 recasting. Heavy is just the same as before except for the possibility of stacking -% requeriments on the rank8 pataka. Not sure about r9. But even if it does I'd still go for a nirvana magic sword for 2.22 APS.

Have a sin/archer friend to duel you before you shard your weapon. While accuracy is never a problem for PvE, PvP is a whole different story. Concerning your sage/demon dilemma I happen to find demons to be slightly better on fox form (better triple spark, chance to gain spark on crush vigor) as the accuracy gains for sage…

Heavy is nice for anyone past lvl39. Make sure you read the guides (forget about wiki) posted here. Don't forget you need items with lots of +stats so everything matches your level! pwcalc is also a great tool for you to plan your character.

It's easier than that to heavy venos. Get a charm, some buffs and bramble. Switch to Fox and pretend to AFK. Turn FRAPS on and watch the show. Don't forget the popcorn!b:laugh

Yup, these squads are the best. Everything goes rather quick. By the way I've also noticed fewer APS squads recruit venos these days. I wonder why...

R9 on high grade garnets isn't that bad against sins... Must tell you heavy is fun though.

Well... It's true that most heavy venos fail but I can grant you the non-fail ones last longer than bms on matching gear.

Why so? Her belt/neck give her aps and the garnet boosts her melee damage. Her rings are same as mine except for the refines...

Actually I can't assure you it is but I've seen very legit screenshots of >2m and I see >500k every time I take a +10 r9 wiz to bh.

Restat the other veno so in the end you'll be saving with all the skills you've bought. There's no magic formula to have the stats to wear heavy. You'll need extra points from gear. Take your time with getting the right gear and have fun. btw have you tried Reikara's guilde or used search for the other guides? They might…

As long as you don't add magic you'll be fine. Now go figure why you wouldn't have axes or fists since start...

These are not problems but features.

This is what an attack class is all about.

1. We can't help you; 2. Can grant you PWI moderators and admins are nice and helpful.

They will keep milking the cow until it dies. They don't really care the cow could live for a decade (longer?) otherwise. In the end it doesn't really matter that another expansion is coming and we're getting new exciting features. We know the best items will still be cash-shop only and doing so the social side of the…

farstrike is better than spirit chaser but the point with getting both is that you'll have 2 ranged skills, which can be handy when you're dealing with freezing effect and runners.

Why not both? I save a lot for wearing heavy on both bm and veno.
