that 120% mastery increase of wizard is just bug. It doesnt suppose to have it. I never see a wizard overpowered in ksro (at least till now)...
The difference between a chinese and an european is the pot delay and dmg.
Euro pt can survive IF only they got all the buffs from each other classes. Most of the buff last only for 1 min. So after 1 min, this party is like dead and have to stay in safe zone to wait for cooldown.
If euro can pwn chinese within 1 min, let's say they'll win. The special of chinese is tanking with pot. If the fight last long, chinese will win. Obviously we have to kill the cleric first. Without cleric, euro pt is considered dead. Because chinese type of fighting is alone, so even if 1 member die, other can still go on continue to fight. After the cleric would be the warrior killed, euro pt would die.
Do u really think u can survive if 8 bowmans attack with strongbow from 25m range, 20% of them do crit?
Let's say u got all buffs so the bow can only hit u 1k dmg (we're talking about cap 80) each 2.5s and u have 10k HP with full blue.
So after 5s, u'll be dmg 16k HP. Survive? Note that u dont know when they come because bow is fast and has far range so u dont have time to heal.
Have u ever see a bow with drug of typhoon running around and ghost walk to up to right corner of the screen? Not mention u have a lag pc and misclick the target.
Okay, lets talk about mana shield now if you want...... sigh.... At the 140 cap, a chinese nuker has a few choices for mastery:
Fire 140/Light 140/Ice 20 - Gets a 20% ice shield
Light 140/Weapon 140/Ice 20 - Gets a 20% ice shield
Light 140/Ice 140/Whatever 20 - Gets a huge shield.
Those are 3 main builds that will be in 140 cap for chinese int. Lets say its the 3rd build. Ice shield lasts for 120 secs, right? Bless spell lasts for 45 seconds. The wizard casts bless, you cast ice. That means you have 45 extra seconds of ice shield that the wizard isnt blessed. Assuming you maxxed ice shield, you would be taking 70% of the dmg dealt to you MP. How would you be able to nuke with 30% mp left? Nukers at the 80 cap have 20k mp max, take away 70%, and your at 6000. Level 80 nuke takes 3500 mp, and imbue takes 1600. You would get nukes twice by the wizard, and then anything after that will leave you not being able to attack back, or just plain dead.
Fire nukes have 330% at the cap, while ice nukes only have 300%. So, if you went ice for the SNOW SHIELD, you will be SACRIFICING DAMAGE.
Chinese nukes arent stronger then euro nukes. They both have the same magical attack, but euros have higher % on their nukes. Lava trap does (439%), same as Meteor (439%). EarthQuake is at (390%). The closest a chinese nuke comes is 330%.
wait, wait here. We are talking about a party fight right?
Then our warrior and bard and cleric just let the wizard take away 70% of our nuker's MP easily like that?
