IMO

Fire wizards are great for max dam output, very posible to take down any class very quick, with 2 good blots that will drop some casters in 1 shot.

Ice wizards are almost like a time bomb, with a very powerfull PBAE but i think more prone to dieing than the other 2 as they need to be stood next to there target to dish any real major dam, v good in keep defence but only has a fire spec line bolt which wont dish out major dam, how ever there ice nuke are fast but not as powerful as a fire wizz.

Earth wizards have a wide variaty for spells but no base like nukes, so imo ice is best for then faster cast and high base line nuke. the GTAE is a very handy tool but takes time to set up with a 6sec cast timer, however if used right can aid taking and defending keeps greatly, they also have the AE Snare DD a 4 sec cast time but again use corectly a great weapon despit the cast time. IMO the DOT is a great weapon doing about 131 a tick with crits off up to 100 you cant go wrong, Drop in on your target and get a new one, lastly the earth bolt can drop casters in 1 but is backed by a weaker fire base bolt. and not forgetting the extra croud control, it mayonly be root but its a start.

Give wizards an instant root/mezz/stun like our hibby and middy friends i feel left out

 

[_null_]

fyi hibby and middy casters don't have instant crowd control.

FIre wizzies are not so good dmg-dealers as everyone wants to get through since most ppl with half a brain got decent(capped) fire resist. they nuke me for around 150dmg. Bolts are bugged to hell and back.

they are mids, they live in their own filth

Compared to the runemaster or any hib caster the fire wizard is well.... crap tbh
1on1 they are so easy to kill its quite funny.

31% cold resist here and dark runies hit me for ~250...
if you have 29% heat resist and still get nuked for 450, something is a-sux0r...
have to say 150 sounds stupidly low though...

uh no.

with 50% resists the 47 dark nuke hits for ~230.

it would hit for 300+ with just 31%.

 

[old.Wildfire]

lvl a runie to 50 opti, and ill hold you to that statement...

besides, when spellcrafting comes in fire wizards will be far and away kings of damage

 

[-optical-]

Dont need to lvl a runie to see how uber they are, besides skalds are pretty useless these days aswell.

 

[Glottis_Xanadu]

Mate of mine has a lvl 50 fire wiz, and is close to simply deleting the character. He is hitting for 150 damage, max about 250 since 1.52 patch, due to much higher resists (character, buffed).
This means, a wizard is allmost useless, cause 3-4 nukes of 300 hardly impress most classes, let alone tanks.
Once again, Mythic has managed to nerf Albions.
Also, wizards are way too limited in their game play, all other realms main casters are much more difference and better in rvr.
But that holds for most characters.

Dont believe the hype my AOE flames ROX

 

[old.Finster]

if you want a caster without options, roll a wizzie.

 

[old.Wildfire]

zoy you suck

kthx

And yes i dont know what kind of gimpy specs all these people's "friends" are using, but it seems they've buggered their characters up quite nicely. I hit for a helluva lot more than people are reporting.

Finster don't be so ignorant, if you want proof of wizards with variety just look at the earth spec line. Lets see... 2 bolts, one of which is matter, GTAOE DD which can double up as emergency PBAOE, DoT, AE snaring DD, damage shield, damage buff, AE root. If variety ("options") is what you want, earth wizards are second only perhaps to mentalists.

 

[K0nah]

3 bolts, aoe root, aoe snare, dd-snare, dd-heatdebuff, aoe nuke, solid dd and more. plenty options. no 9sec stun alas or we would be uber...

 

[old.Nol]

Crikey, no wonder you people are always in emain, trying to get away from the bullshit Glottis spews?

I had an invisible friend too mate, his name was Bob, and he left me when I turned six...Bob was a good lad and did loads more damage then your imaginery friend.

I am sure the mid/hib casters also want instant root/stun/mezz , you been getting your information from Glottis by any slim chance?

Not sure what I said that was not true....
And just like your childhood molestors, I even played with this wiz (not much you can screw up on with a wiz, you pick a line, and stick with it). And the damages are not so impressive as they used to be before the resists on timer.
Nol, noob

Umm you're supposed to say how crap the class it as this point ... You ARE albs afterall.

 

[old.Nol]

hahaha...specially like the "childhood molestor"(when I figure out what it is I will pretend to be very insulted) bit, was really funny, the Noob however, cut deep...I feel so hurt inside

Glottis, even your own realmies think you're speaking out of your cavity, on the odd occasion a 50 wizard might get a 150, but I doubt that it's a regular occurance. If you are doing that kind of damage, then it's because you have not re-organised your Quickbar since 1.52, and are using all the wrong spells.

Simply no chance whatsoever 1vs1 against hib caster, slim chance 1vs1 any other class. root = 3rd rate cc.

 

[Lessurl]

you forgot to mention the lack of range debuff too. In a lot of caster 1v1's range debuff can be deciding factor.

 

[K0nah]

Im bored so.. typical arsenal of a 50/18/9 Fire Wiz. How many use these options is quite another question, I try, many don't seem to.

Triple Bolt: 50 Spec 47 Base 17 Spec
DoT: 29 per tick
AE DD & Snare 30s
DD & Snare 30s
AE Root 30s
Root: 1min 13sec
GTAOE 68dmg (it all adds up)
PBAOE: 7 Spec (sufficient for finding stealthers and interrupting pbaoe lamers from other realms..)
DD w/cold-debuff
DD Cold 50 Base
AE DD w/heat-debuff (luv this one - only 5% but hey it all helps)
AE DD 44 Spec
DD Heat 47 Spec
Damage Shield
10dps dmg add

No speed, no stun.

who needs a ranged debuff when u can just stun the sucker for 9seconds? hibskillz.

 

[old.Wildfire]

Yes, hibs "skills, tactics and co-ordination" have pwned me on many an occasion. I.e. any time when I find myself face-to-face with an elf/lurk and they have QC available...

Triple Bolt: 50 Spec 47 Base 17 Spec - 3rd bolt is on same timer as first and only does a fraction of the damage, unfortunately
DoT: 29 per tick - ummm never used it tbh
AE DD & Snare 30s - gotta try this soon, might spam a milegate with it to try it out
DD & Snare 30s - nahhhh not worth it
AE Root 30s - FKIN OWNS! FEAR TEH 1.5SEC INTERRUPT SPAM!
Root: 1min 13sec - excellent anti-wuren device ...so long as a friendly, helpful tank doesnt break it trying to kill him
GTAOE 68dmg (it all adds up) - surprisingly effective at making people move
PBAOE: 7 Spec - finds stealthers, gets the job done, nuff said
DD w/cold-debuff - nukers using cold damage are few and far between, so no application unfortunately
DD Cold 50 Base - good for PLing if the mobs are cold-vulnerable, no application in RvR
AE DD w/heat-debuff (luv this one - only 5% but hey it all helps) - indeed nice, spammed alternately with AE DD at milegates works a treat
AE DD 44 Spec - TEH_AE!!!111 ph33r. more l33t than outlaw on steroids.
DD Heat 47 Spec - burns tree-huggers and simpletons beautifully. no complaints 'yr hon'r
Damage Shield - kinda crappy tbh with only 18 earth woohoo You hit Laralyn for 2 damage
10dps dmg add - yus yus nice, essential tank buff

heh, exactly!!! the important word here is TRYING, cause most of the time he doesnt but the enemy goes for the wiz again finishing him off in 1 or 2 wipes

 

[--Eraser--]

gah, i hate that...wanted to edit my post and made a quote instead...

 

[50-Warlock-50]

Rubbish

Wizards are great -- whatever spec you are!. The problem is the goddamn stupid bugs that come with the bolts. Fix the bolts and all wizards would be - fire or earth. Ice is good for keeps. Point is the bolts are very high damage yes but because of the stupid melee bug or the massive chance that you miss or get resisted... the ratio of bolts actually doing their full potential of damage is low. Sure it is possible to take casters down in 1 hit but worryingly I've hit a lot of casters with both the earth bolt and the fire bolt and not taken them down and that coupled with the bugs has forced me to switch to ice! BRING ON THE KEEP ATTACKERS MUHAHAHA!
