Is Charged Wind useful in PvP? Some people say it is, some people say it isn't, others say just get the first book level 1 for the KB. Also, if it is useful, how should I use it in PvP?

Eg: Invis --> Meteor --> Charged Wind --> Earth Quake

Thanks in advance

Well, every skill comes to use, but some come in use regulary, some only once a year.
It's your own choice, it can save your life sometimes.

Say you just came out of invisible killed someone then turned off LT/LC. Now someone is about to attack you, what do you do?
Charged Wind, Root, LT/LC Meteor: Pwned.

The move has its place.

i use charged wind when some1 puts up a firewall most time =)

I'll max it cuz it does pretty nice dmg (not like flamethrower, a bit less but it has kb). It can save your life in pvp and pve.

Charged Wind (Squall) was propably my number 1 attack, greatly underestimated by most.
Why to use:
1) Area Knockback effect ( = gives you more time)
2) Damage equal to a weak Blizzard. ( = severely damages opponent)
3) Looks cool ( = scares others away)

But if you have LT on, why use that nuke, when you can use a stronger nuke and kill them, instead of using a weak lightning nuke with KB, and then using the stronger nuke to kill them?

Because by the time you launch that move you could already be dead. Its a precaution. You don't even have to use LT/LC. Watch Skayunor's video.

But this guy uses KB on Warrior, then KB on Wiz to make the enemy go back further. Charged Wind doesn't really KB the enemy that far.

It isn't about the distance, its about the interruption and damage. CW/CS has a faster cast than most spells and it does decent damage. It also has instant KB, notice he never used LT/LC once. Look at the dual against the s/s. The s/s was moving towards skay (probably going to phantom). Interrupt him, then kill. It also takes people a few seconds before their character reacts after being KBed. Last I checked it was about 2 seconds. In those two seconds you could've have casted fear, then GG.

Each hit is about 3k (decent damage)
It Interrupts moves.
It KBs.
After people are Kbed, they can't immediately attack back.
It opens up time, and stalls for tactics.

Thanks for the link =]

You're right, that 2nd book sure looks impressive O_O

Too bad Khaara from avalon doesnt post here.Khaara is by far the best wizard :o

Usually charged wind + Meteor is enough in pvp.
