Slingshots are the fastest archer weapon, and are your highest dps with normal attacks and your weakest weapon with skills. They also let you get a bit closer to your enemy without switching to half damage on your ranged attacks, which can sometimes give them a minor edge in barrage. They also have the least range between…

No, but you have counters for that situation (with stone barrier up, their stun should not hurt you too badly, and the extra health from your tasty crab will not exactly be bad for you, if they use that approach). Unless they have help, I think you should be able to survive the two water attacks they can launch, before you…

In PvP, wizards have greater range than psychics, and if you have enough pdef you can tank their damage reflection with pots. Fighting a psychic up close is like fighting a melee class up close -- you should not do that if you can avoid it. So, here is the beginner course on wiz battle vs psychics: 1. use earth barrier,…

I thought that 2x drops were supposed to end today? In the past when they say that something ends on a day, they have meant shortly after midnight, when the day starts.

You look so cute with your hands on your face! So, ok, let us say that you have 5aps and a 20% crit rate. Here are your probabilities for critical hits for a 2 second span of damage (first column is number of critical hits, second column is probability for that many): 0: 10.7% 1: 26.8% 2: 30.2% 3: 20.1% 4: 8.8% 5: 2.6% 6:…

If a bm stuns you, to be fair you need to include the time which the bm needs to close distance with you and use his skill. If a bm uses occult ice on you, to be fair you need to include the time which the bm needs to close distance with you and you need to allow the person on the other side of the comparison to use a…

Perhaps because some people use charms, for various reasons, and once they are equipped they stay equipped for months?

1. no 2. pay attention 3. see above And, personally, I am going to disagree with Madeuquit -- I am glad you do not troll very well, and would prefer you continue to slack off in your trolling classes. b:pleased P.S. if you actually want deeper answers, please change your signature from "i am a troll" to an apology that…

Well, yes -- rubber bands hurt way too much in pk... b:surrender

wizzeled is buying all the gold! b:shocked b:cry b:laugh

Free pumpkin head pills for everyone! Um... except venomancers and barbarians?

It might add its bonus to average weapon damage (instead of equipment damage, like most other things). Some experiments seem to confirm this. (And note that this would be consistent with adding zero damage when you are unarmed.)

Maybe you were thinking of wizzled?

But I have to wonder if you used: sutra, force of will, glacial snare, sandstorm or force of will, sutra, glacial snare, sandstorm And, how much ping did you have? And, did you use a macro for the non-sutra skills? (This might add your ping to your casting time?) Personally, I think you lose twice your ping time…

Does this mean that you left it on 360 instead of bumping up the resolution?

Demon Pyrogram does base damage + 100% weapon damage + 3620, takes 1.2 seconds to channel and 0.8 seconds to cast. My mediocre dps wizard had 32 attack levels, 12% critical hit chance, and when triple sparked had -61% channelling, and base magic attack was 28329-28601 when triple sparked. So non-critical hits would be:…

If I put together a wizard that follows all of my rules, I wind up having to use event ornaments and a lot of perfect shards, I know I could build a wizard with these capabilities or better for cheaper than this, if I violate my rules: http://pwcalc.ru/pwi/?char=ce950a41d917142a Still, that gives a plausible starting…

If your only attacks did 1/3 the dps of other people your level but you could use that attack only once every 3 hours in melee range then that would be OP because you would could one hit kill harpy wraith before absolute domain expired. But, personally, I am not convinced that 5aps is overpowered though -- and it is…

Oh, come on, if you are going to doubt, make up a number! And I imagine also the +10 would be better, to get first (but they cost about the same, and some people need the nirvana armor go get 5aps, so I think was fair to put that in there).

I have been watching the patch notes and I have never seen any announcements that looked like that. You can use 6 mana foods per minute, which (if they cost 600 coins each) means you can not spend over 216k per hour on mana, and that could only be if you were in combat for that entire hour, which means you would need to be…

Maybe that was an english language problem? But he was not giving any specific numbers, except stuff like "not every second hit". So it must also have been a problem with his maths. Meanwhile, "off by 10" is relatively easy to get, on the total for 100 trials. Anyways, maybe he was reporting on a legitimate issue. But the…

If I understand properly, how this game works, -97% channeling on a wizard trumps 5aps.

This is so totally true. Personally, I refine my gear to +5 by gamble refining, and I never ever have a 50% chance of success -- my chance of success on any individual refine attempt has always been lower than 50%. And, to get to +5 I have to get 5 successes in a row. If Mumintroll's concept was correct, I could never ever…

If you are going to insist on dueling sins (and remember, you can not tell if an assassin is using genie skills, or potions, when they are stealthed): Get a veno buff Use elven alacrity right before the countdown ends. Use deadly shot after their deaden nerves kicks in (perhaps preceded by stunning arrow if you feel you…

Exactly! Using potions should be no big deal, if you are fighting someone like that. But if an assassin is going to go into stealth, in a duel, and then wait for our short term buffs to fall, our potions and genies mean that they are going to have to fight us with our full health (or however much we can get back, even crab…

In my experience, most of low level pk consists of someone with 30+ levels on you trying to gank you. And, from my point of view, wizards are one of the best suited classes for dealing with that issue. Of course, you are not going to be landing any PK kills here, and you are not even going to always survive. However, if…

Personally, I do not see any reason for genies and potions to be disallowed -- if the game designers had meant for them to not be used in duels, then they would disable them in duels. However, if an assassin goes stealth on me and I am not allowed to use a potion or a genie to recover, while I am waiting, I suppose I can…

Yes... for my joke to work, people would need to instantly realize how awful those rules were. Sadly, though, those rules are almost typical of how some people really think.

Personally, I like having a decent physical defense when I fight psychics. Usually, most of the damage they land on me will be reflected damage, and that is all physical. And, if I really must tank a nuke from a psychic, elemental shell can help?
