Hello, i need some advice
I have 2 chars, lvl 46 full int spear and lvl 16 wizard full int, but i don' t know which one to play :banghead: . Wizard is cool, but it' s not good for grinding alone. If i play with nuker then i need to farm a lot, what is very boring...so what to do? :?

wizards = gay pot delay but how ever they are known to be very good at high level with a cleric sub class :)

i have a lvl 7x full int spear and IMO it owns with the right gear
but its all down to other ppls opinion there is no so called 'best build'

just play w/e makes you happy lol

I'm a wizard

i know the cleric is usualy better choice but... with or with out heal you'll die in pvp with 1 hit 99% of the times... so is bard a better choice :?:

Wizard FTW.

I'm a lvl72 wizard with cleric subtree and i can solo Niya Generals and 1 hit them. If they hit me once, i can instantly gain HP back due to cleric subtree. in fact, my nukes at lvl72 does more dmg than a lvl80 Full SUN sword nuker.

Wizard. Same reason as above. I do more dmg than the bots 7-10 levels above me. I currently do about 7-8k on a lvl 77 garment str without shield but buffed, and I do about 2k on sun garments with shield. Did I mention I am 61 and soloed most of the way there. I only recently started doing parties, but I still solo way faster.

Oh yeah, wizards have more defense than nukers, but nukers do get extra defense with snow shield. I am Wiz/Cleric though, so I end up having more defense than them and I am able to solo a lvl 63 worm giant without a problem with bless spell. I can do it without bless spell but it hurts when they bug and hit you 2ce really fast at a bad time. I have a set without blues btw.

do you wear robe or light armor?

I wear light armor, because it helps for leveling unless you plan to pimp your robes over and over. I can just use npc gear and do just fine dying rarely or not at all depending on the mobs I fight. I do not need any more M.Def in PvP since I aleready 1 shot nukers, snowshield or not. I 1 shot STR too, but I would rather have the def to survive their best non-crit hit while using life control and bless spell than survive two nukes.

voted int nuker cuz its easier to solo with it. party mobs already trouble me at times when i get ganged. i think it's gonna be even tougher when solo with wizard, it's not impossible, but at greater risk due to pot delay.

if pvp bothers you, pure ints are currently at disadvantaged cuz of the heavy dmg by euro characters. nukers or wizards .... they dun have much to tank. it's kinda sad to train so hard to max your nukes and KD+stabs or your SS+GS only to be floored so soon due to the huge damage from euro characters. so pick pure strength. you can tank better in pvm and pvp. party mobs are not gonna bother you. but gonna be disadvantaged against nuking bots when you train.

so you decide.

Fact: I 1 shot lvl 64 full str blader with meteor, even 1 shot a blader with sun shield and weapon, and I am currently 62 with 60 skills.
Fact: Nukers stand no chance against wizards in PvP, I don't use meteor against them since even fire bolt does enough dmg even if they have full self buffs and ice shield. I have to use meteor to 1 shot if they stack bloody fan on top of everything, but if they use bloody fan I can just interrupt their nuke , go invisible, bind them, or fear them. I can also use bless spell to tank the damage for the 15 secs, or use moving march to run away for 15 sec, then 1 shot them. With good gear they cannot 1 shot me back.

I solo on worms and have done so since 60(needed my new staff to 1 shot them without buff), there are plenty of mobs to solo until 64 at least, and even after that. I plan to solo in the cave from now on.

Wizards beat nukers hands down, and being able to 1 shot your enemies is a better defense than 2-3 shotting with nukes that do aoe dmg and would most likely get even more mobs on you. Frankly, now that wizards are in play, a chinese nuker just doesn't measure up. The only way to kill a wizard right now would be to somehow interrupt nukes with the bow skills, or maybe block the first shot. Against a wizard, there is really no way to tank, unless you use bloddy fan or mana skin, and even with those, it may not be enough to tank 2 or 3 nukes in succession.
