Frenzy lowers your defenses more than reasonably (so LA/AA doesn't really matter) for the same damage amp as extreme poison. The only thing that makes it good is for AoEing, as poison is single target only and frenzy amps your damage on all the targets.

This thread is full of fail. b:victory Wait, does trolling count?

Where would I go to research this kind of stuff? x-X Is there a wiki on Harshlands? I even said in my post I may just not know everything, I really am new to the server I have to find out somehow. Anyway Jugg really answered my question, they knew they were going to lose against KY so they just stacked the other two wars.…

What kind of debuffs was this on? >_> Cause I hit 40k crits with spark + undine with gush/pyro.

Archer's max range -> 32 meters (demon winged blessing) Wizard's max DS -> 30 meters (demon) Archer's minimum effect range -> 5 meters (bow) So just looking at this, a single distance shrink will get a wizard with good timing almost perfectly into the archer's minimum effect range. Now lets look at skills. Archer's…

Wtf? Better question, is this why everyone thinks HL is so bad? b:cry Join evoke, we're 80+ and who the eff thought it would be a good idea to charge members? Also the concept of Free 2 Play vs. Pay to Play is not paying money in game, its whether or not you pay the makers of the game REAL MONEY to play said game. The Devs…

Holy **** there's a surprising amount of flame in this thread. x-X If I was an archer i'd love to have a set of daggers for DDing on bosses and such, so I would be able to spark more and not waste arrows/shots.

Second wind is better for wiz's unless you plan on having over 4k hp. Frenzy is only for aoes, if you dont plan on aoeing everything, get extreme poison, it's the same damage amp and doesn't lower your defence. Holy path is great for kiting. After that you can decide, get cauterize for anti bleed, or fortify for anti stun,…

Who needs 2-3 shots? b:chuckle This is true, I played a cleric up to 49 and pretty much rolled any other class my level. Can't say how they are past that though, they get their strong skills a bit earlier than other classes. (shell, debuff, self buffs, OP heals, patk, matk, roflsrs?) Im sure sins > archer for PvE,…

Channeling is a pain, but its part of the skill involved in playing a wiz. Like knowing how long it will take for the BM/Barb to get in range, etc. When we get sleep @ 79 though we're pretty much OP. FoW -> Undine -> spark -> sleep -> Sandstorm+poison. With this combo and my +5 endless (b:cute) i can easily hit 4-5k on…

Fixed b:bye

Fortify is only 3 seconds base, and every 30 dex increases it by 1 second. I would say no to Heart of Steel because if you have fash the archers and clerics will be expecting a wiz to be arcane. For wizards, Tree < Second wind, If you do the math Tree isn't really worth it unless you have around 4k+ hp, otherwise per genie…

And a Silver Spoon that costs 100 gold. b:shocked

Hailstorm is not a DOT and its far from useless, its actually really handy for when i accidentally aggro too many mobs. Pitfall and Crown of flames have a fairly minor purpose, but that purpose is best served by keeping them at lvl 1, to cheaply rid a mob of a remaining 2k hp or so (very useful when your cheapest lvl 10…

Fixed in red? Well, who do you realistically think will win? A faction formed as a break off of KY with no land and very inexperienced in TW, Vs. a faction that already owns over half the map. Not even factoring in that the time we got to TW really sucked. >_> Most of us already knew we were going to lose, I know some…

^-- This. Imo I don't like the idea of two super powers fighting it over, because lowbies get support and help from higher level guildies. I've leveled fast (almost caught that damn magic hamster b:laugh) and im really looking forward to a good TW, but as an 8x i would be less of a factor even if i could get into KY or KD,…

Honestly i don't like buying the mats and getting the gear made, I just buy the next level already made and sell my old gear. It's more than often cheaper that way because the gear im buying is sharded and has refine, while i can sell my old gear for more because it's sharded and refined as well. (<- just got an Endless…

^This

Really all they gain by doing that is red hours, when you kill someone you don't get credit for the pk for another hour. I believe there should be a system of 1v1 and multicombat areas, like in some areas you can only be attacked by 1 person, and others would be just like they are now. This brings up a lot of other…

Comparing hp alone isnt really a comparison, most mages prefer to prioritize pdef shards over hp, but i've heard that 4-5k hp around 8x-9x is the norm.

Level BT if you pk any, otherwise keep sandstorm leveled and until you level your BIDS/MS in your mid-high 8xs. Double spark Sandstorm will hit more than level one BIDS and you can SS twice during a double spark, or you can use sutra. Really just focus on BT because of the phys dmg, but you wont really need the other two…

-following in your footsteps- b:surrenderb:cry

Kinda unfair to not include the main skills that make a Wiz so powerful. Without the 79 skills wiz loses to every class. >_> We don't know what the 79 skills will be, but atm if a Wiz debuffs a boss with undine, then a Phy DDs with black voodoo, a Phy with who stacks crit (like i think a smart one would) will likely out DD…

Can they do all that and then counter our sutra after they've been sealed?

Undine Strike. I've heard from higher lvl wiz's that undine adds around 30% more damage on average, black voodoo is +22 atklvl at lvl 10, and lowers deflvl by 11. If you compare them in a duel, a Wiz will do 41% more damage than without these mods, where the Phy only does 22%. (not even factoring in Wiz's earth sheild)

The two basic Phy skills VS. Gush and Pyro (all lvl 10): Spirit- Channel 0.6 seconds Cast 1.4 seconds Basic magical attack plus 100% gear attack and another 2043.6 Earth damage. Aqua- Channel 0.5 seconds Cast 1.5 seconds basic magical attack plus 100% gear attack and another 1372.6 Water damage. VS. Gush- Channel 1.0…

Speaking as a pure mage, if you want to PvP before 8x then LA will most likely suit you better. The crit rate and the extra pdef will make you last more than 1-2 hits from anyone that does phys dmg. (which is all but one other class) If you want to level fast to 8x though, go pure AA. LA really just reduces your damage and…

Find some melee/magic mobs your level or higher that drop a lot of DQs and grind on em, and look for good deals in the AH. There are a lot of things people throw in that I can get get like 400% profit if i just work a little harder to sell it than they did. Thats pretty much how i move up in the world. :d

In Redddddddddddd If you really want to focus on TW, I'd say level hailstorm and BIDS when you can. Im in no way experienced in major TWs but i know a mage's job is to cast aoe ults and kill barbs. If you have hailstorm leveled even with a 33% chance to freeze for 4 seconds, in a group its going to proc on a few of them,…

Sutra R wizzie only skill? b:cry
