Wizard Lightning Question...

[Pawnage]

Is it worth getting the whole lightning as a wiz if the only skills i'm going to get is max teleport, max shock, and lvl 1 charged wind?
Seems like a waste of sp...

Thanks in Advanced

Lightning skills are extremely useful, max all of them except Lightning Bolt/Chain Lightning. There's that skill that casts fear, CRUCIAL! Then there's Charged Wind that can KB 5 enemies simultaniously, extremely useful in parties or when getting mobbed in PvE, and of course the Teleport.

+1 lightnin is really useful with kb since your a wiz you want to get hit as little as possible. but watch out for fear because sometimes it may drag more mobs to you

[wdwarrior]

fear and knockback are indeed very handy at keeping mobs at bay but some ice skills are better at keeping mobs away from you by freezing/frostbiting them and it will deal superior damage too so i think only maxing teleport and shock as pawnage suggests makes sense, especially if your not wanting to gap farm SP.

[CLOT]

i have a qn too

lvl 1 charged wind

is that enough?
will lvl 1 charged wind has the same % of KB-ing a lvl 80 compared to a max lvl charged wind?
that fear skill u need to max cuz of lvl 8 fear to be inflicted onto lvl 80 but is lvl 1 KB enough or need to max?

i mean we max light nukes NOT for the dmg really, its mainly for the disabling skills and fear status

[wdwarrior]

yes its surely enough at lvl 1. the knockback rate remains equal, no matter if charged winds are lvl 1 or maxed. and for the damage you dont need to max it neither because that will be maxed as low as another lvl 20 skill thats at lvl 1 or 2.

[MrFudge]

max charge wind (which becomes charge squall at 80) + fire nuke = death to any lvl 80.

whereas if u try to only fire nuke, a pure str can take a hit and then kill if theyre quick enough.

[wdwarrior]

you will have to explain me why knockback would be better at keeping your opponent at bay then freeze/frostbite/dulled. to me ice and earth seem equally capable at keeping your opponent at bay plus they deal superior damage and are more usefull in pve. i could be wrong but that my view on this.

[MrFudge]

because knockback cancels out the opponents skill instantly and causes a minor stun at the end before the opponent can start an attack again, that is good enough to allow you to launch a 2nd deadly nuke.

im pretty sure a fully farmed wizard with a good staff can 1hit anyone though, so sometimes you dont even need the knockback against a lot of people unless theyre full sun.

but yea, pve id take ice over lightning.
just because monsters arent immune to ice.

earth is always a must, 2nd strongest line next to fire.

[Bounzzer]

take fire, earth, light and ice... yes all 4
since your not mastery capped just take all and farm some xD
