[Guide] Wizard with Bard sub-class

Not gonna get into why you should be a wizard or if you should go pure int or hybrid, I went pure int.

You will need to farm or level with a gap since you'll need 170,997 sp for the skills that I have chosen for this guide. If you want to max all the skills it will require 265,409 sp. If u wanna get the bard sub-class I set out then it will require 227,502sp with the main skills I chose.

Wizard main class

Image Natural Spirit
Image Earth Spirit MAX Image Cold Spirit MAX Image Fire Spirit MAX Image Lightning Spirit sp waste

Image Force Mental
Image Intelligence MAX Image Life Control MAX Image Magic bound MAX Image Life Turnover MAX

Image Earth Mentalist
Image Ground Charge: sp waste Image Root sp waste Image Earth Shock MAX Image Earth Barrier MAX
Image Ground Rave sp waste Image Mesh Root sp waste Image Earth Quake MAX Image Earth Fence MAX

Image Cold Mentalist
Image Ice Bolt MAX Image Mana Drain sp waste Image Snow Wind MAX Image Invisible MAX
Image Frozen Spear MAX Image Mana Drought sp waste Image Blizzard MAX Image Crystal Invisible MAX

Image Fire Mentalist
Image Fire Bolt MAX Image Fire Trap sp waste Image Fire Blow sp waste Image Detect MAX

Image Meteor MAX Image Lava Trap sp waste Image Salamander Blow sp waste Image Sprawl Detect MAX

Image Lightning Mentalist
Image Lightning Bolt sp waste Image Lightning Shock sp waste Image Charged Wind sp waste Image Teleport sp waste

Image Chain Lightning sp waste Image Lightning Impact sp waste Image Charged Squall sp waste Image Aerial Teleport sp waste

Bard sub-class

Image Moving March MAX Image Swing March MAX

Image Noise MAX

So those are the skills that I have used and plan to use until Joymax releases newer skills for European race
Most of the skills I have MAX'ed are attack skills. The ones that aren't are either passive or buffs such as ImageImageImageImage.
Those are for becoming invisible and detecting invisible players. Reason i have them MAX'ed is because they are usefull in jobbing.
The other 2 skills that i have MAX'ed are defence buffs ImageImage.
Now for the jobbing part, I have added the bard sub-class skills for you to utilize when trading, hunting or thiefing. They will make you move faster which can help greatly and act as a "self-harmony therapy".
*NOTE* Noise will deactive when you enter a Chinese harmony circle without notice*
If you have any questions please post them and try not to be too critical, its my 2nd guide :)
Thank you for reading

As a 64 wizard, I find the guide incorrect. A lot of the attacks you have as "SP waste" I use quiet frequently and they help me a lot.....

I just started a European a few days back. Your guide helped me a lot. Thanks. But I doubt that lightning tree is totally useless. Especially teleport (for all other games that I play, teleport is one of the most important and useful and fun-to-use skill). But I cannot really comment on it because I have yet to try all the spells. :oops:

kinda useless not explaining how to lvl successfully w/ or w/o partys and not explaining why those skills are useless

the first and 5th lighting skill is useless but the other skills are very useful

and the fire blow is good when the dmg is stacked up against a party giant but never use it when it's about to die or else you're stuck until the 7 attacks finish

also the bard "deagro" skill is also good

Nice guide. Can I ask you where you got the skill icons?

ROFL. Teleport an sp waste? Drought an sp waste? Im sorry, but in no world is the ability to incur potion delays on chinese players for 30 seconds AOE an sp waste. AoE fear an sp waste? Please buddy, you need to learn your wiz a bit more before having the audacity to post a guide when you havent even hit 40.

Your build is only applicable in the case that the person playing it never wants a chance at succeeding in PvP beyond one shotting a person then dying.

i didn't intend this for noobs who wanna "pwn" at pvp. when i play in party or solo i only 1-2 nuke and mob is dead except when its a pt mob then my party uses their skills to give status effects to the mob. I didn't include fire blow or its next book because they require u to stand there until ur attack is over or u die. no wizard can tank so u either 1-shot or get 1-shot.

You have obviously never used the combo 'Lightning Shock' (for Fear) then 'Fire Blow'. Also getting lv 1 'Charged Wind' just so it can KB and cancel attacks is always good.

i have used charged wind on my first wiz but i didnt like the attack power of it, im more towards kill it fast or die trying. hey dae i didnt kno u read these forums, its me ur old friend from athens the one who ressed u all the times when u sp farmed :)

If this guide was meant for PvE only then you should specify at the start.
Anyways it seems kind of useless for Wizard without PvP aspects integrated into your guide. I have no idea how many countless times I used the skills you've disregarded ie. Teleport, Fear, Charged Squall, Fire Trap etc. that's helped me kill/save myself and others either in party/solo/PvP/jobbing.

Furthermore, telling us that you'll start writing more info on jobbing when this guide was never intended for PvP is pretty irrelevant - especially after you've mentioned that "
i didn't intend this for noobs who wanna "pwn" at pvp.
".

Everything fine apart from the Fireblow to be usless.... thats one of the most powerfull attacks with cool time to load the skill its instant attack that doesnt need loading up, which totaly owns when killing gients. So resonsider your idea of not geting it, and yeah lighting is a waste :P. i did get lvl 1 KB for fun tho, very usful when in caves.

If your wizard is the one on the ss, you obviously had very little experience. Fireblow is a waste? You do realize that it is the fastest casting wizard skill, right? I often use Fire Bolt -> Fire Blow vs STR in PvP, because I can use both skills before I get hit. STR my level usually cannot survive past the first or second hit from fire blow.

Another big mistake is Mana Drought. The skill increase pot delay to 4 seconds (or so the description states). It is probably the most useful skill during PvP vs Chinese.

Fire trap is another really useful skill in PvP. Use it during buffing time, move 2 steps back, and as you start off with a nuke, the opponent is already stepping on your trap. That is instant double damage.

In fact, the only real SP wastes are the detect skills and the lightning bolt. Since there are detect pills with lower reuse time than the detect recast time.

I like the pretty pictures though.
