Wizard question

[Mundokar]

Started playing on Prydwen this week. Think fire-wizard are real fun. They have cool graphics

Question : whats the template for fire-wizards. I have studied the spell-lists and think i'm going for 50 fire (yeah right ). Any suggestions would be welcome

Thnx

I think 50 fire, rest in earth is pretty good.

if you want full fire, theres only one template:

50fire
7ice
18earth

7 ice for first pbaoe
18earth for first GTAoE (next patch)

7 in ice is nice for that pbaoe, which means you can unstealth sneeky gits who come too close

 

[Danya]

oops forgot the pbae

 

[SilverHood]

you n00b!

guess fire main attraction is the look of the spell fx and the fact that they hit hard, BUT in RvR most mids and hibs have uber fire resistance so that kinda sucks, being an ice wiz, i get snares and PBAE (great for keep sieges, disrupts repair jobbies).

although we dont get the raw power DDs of fire and the spell fx, we do get the same all round pros and cons, with ice ya get a snare which can allow for a decent few nukes b4 the enemy get 2 u, the root in the ice baseline works a LOT more often, gets resisted less when u have 43 points in ice

we get 2 debuffs, and ice debuff (searing wave) and and AE heat debuff (that gives fire wizzies a chance 2 do tons more dmg).

but the main spell of the ice line is the PBAE, this roicks when used right in PvE situations and RvR when ur tanks r up against multiple enemys.

in side spec pick earth, cos not only do ur buffs becme more effective, u will have enough points left for the GTAE which is really gonna help earth wizzies in PvE and RvR cos its like a cloud DoT that does a lot more dmg (THANK YOU GOA!).

this is really gonna mess up hib and mid forces becoz the casters will never be able 2 cast and will most likely die before actually getting out of the area.

Fire is a good option for wizards, its your main speciality but fire wizards tend to get a hell of a lot of agro cos of the power of your DDs, tend to get you killed in PvE BUT you will be loved in RvR for your ability to take out tanks in seconds.

anyways, thats my 2 cents said, your choice on spec.

good luck in lvling!!!!

I couldnt agree more just look at meepthor,hes very good

 

[Sharma]

lol think ill go make an earth wizzie now, ready 4 the GTAE

 

[old.mattshanes]

Good luck they are very good in rvr i wish wizards would realise they are safer from a shadowblade then us theurgists are.Reason being is because you have pbaoe to reveal them we dont

 

[Sharma]

Ummmm cant theurgists get that RA skill, its a PBAE that dmgs eveything in the immediate area, on a 5 mins timer or sommat.

might help the prob with theurgists being open 2 attack.

Not much to add except to mention as a Fire wizard my dd cap is 698. With the relics it's probably a little higher, but the resists are sometimes silly (350 (-290)). Then again, buffed up doing that every 2 seconds isn't so bad i suppose.



Oh, the bolts crap now, no idea why

edit: Oh but when I get Crits (which i do quite often) it rocks
