Now that im gettin closed to 50 I started to pvp some with my wiz so i figured id post some things ive learned thus far.
1. while standing in a pvp area such as dw south have a shield equiped when not fighting. Alot of ppl are gonna want to kill you since there not used to euro chars, and this includes those 10 lvls below you to 7x's being idiots. With a decent blk rate you might get a blk and make it to the safe zone when someone jumps you.
2. when a str player comes at u always lead with 3rd book light for the kb. As soon as you start the action for this press the button for your next nuke and you will cast it b 4 the str makes it to you normally. Any str your lvl will usually die from light/earth combo.
3. chinese int your lvl will 1 hit you normally depending on your/their gear. If the chinese int uses mana shield you cannot one hit them without life control on. Since u will die regardless in 1 hit put on life control and you will win usually as your nuke cast is faster then chinese nukers.
4. Higher lvl str chars (5-6 lvs or so) require 2 buffed nukes or 3 without life control. Buffed light and earth if it is enough will only work a couple times as the str will lead with their ranged and 1 hit you. The best strategy is to light 3rd/ice 3rd/fire blow or earth 3rd depending on their hp. Generally unless they crit and assuming your slowed with the ice you should get a 3rd nuke b 4 their second hit.
5. At 48 with a couple hp blues on gear i have 2100+ hp...assuming your fighting without life control on it is a smart move to use large/x-lg hp pots if you can afford to, and set at a high% like 80+. Thus when you are attacked and the pot triggers it will still be increasing your hp as u take the second hit...this has allowed me to often take an extra 1-2 hits from str chars which is generally enough for me to nuke'em to death.
6. If you are clearly outmatched by an ooponent due to lvl/gear difference use fear as a last option. The 80% success rate is reduced when applying to higher lvl chars but the 10 sec allows for 3 nukes which should kill anyone within several lvls.
7. Using invis against similar lvls makes wiz almost unbeatable but is looked down upon and will thus get you flamed, so unless someone annoys you, or they are a higher lvl and want to fight you try and keep the pvp straight up.
8. All nukes have a similar cast time except fire blow which is triggered faster so if you dont have much time to get off an attack fire blow might work and hits for roughly half a first book fire nuke per hit.
9. Pvping other wiz is so pointless its not even funny....you will 1 hit eachother so just avoid fighting eachother
