Wizard and what?

Post by MihoBT »

Im am leveling a Wizard right now and i can not decide on a sub class.
(right now i have no sub class)

I am stuck in between

*Warrior(not for real use, but to have the cool looking heavy armor)

*Bard(both are INT based and both weapons are 2handed)

*Cleric(both are INT based, cleric needs to have shield added after weapon switch & light armor)


Clearly I should go either Bard or Cleric for support back up, but the heavy armor is so apealing!

In my mind its a three-way tie, warrior(heavy armor), Cleric(heals), Bard(speed).


Can any one convice me to drop to classes. and please dont say things like "keep cleric subclass, they are the Pwnz0r!"

First, LOL at the avatar. Second, he meant light armor.
Third, and here is my input, go for cleric. In later levels you will realize just how much more useful clerics are in comparison to the Noise and Moving march the bard can give you.

Bless Spell just beats anything the bard can give you alone.
Add auto healing, rez, best dmg in game [which you can use if you land fear on someone], better buffs, immunity to almost everything, and of course cool (7D, and 9D+) light armor, and you have yourself a great subclass.

In comparison, bard just looks less impressive even with 100% speed and level 90 preemptive attack at level 80. It will do you little good in PvP, unless you plan to simply run, and seeng as you kill in 1-2 nukes and that you can always buy speed potions with 100% speed, it seems almost foolish.

Warrior is a little better than bard since it gives you access to all types of armors, and you also get a few useful buff skills, but that's it. The self buffs of the warriors don't stay after switching weapons, and you don't have the HP or defense to tank damage or make real use of anything except the screen buffs. Warriors will simply not strengthen your wizard any more than having a good set of light armor.

I am a wiz/cleric, and I can tell you the potential of the build is extremely high.
