[Guide] Wizard with Bard sub-class

[FX]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bard sub-class

Moving March MAX Swing March MAX

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 .
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 .
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.....

[FX]

its just how i do my wiz, not saying this is THE way to go but its for advice..

[wildwolf111]

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.

[InsertName]

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

[FX]

later tonight i'll get into how to use the skills in solo and party play, and a lil bit into jobbing cuz i never liked jobbing with euros.

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

[Rizla]

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.

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

Wow how could I not have thought of that

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.

[DaeDevil]

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.

[FX]

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
dont say my name. send a PM

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 "

[pequenoleao]

I stop reading when he said that FEAR is SP waste.

[Topdog]

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 . i did get lvl 1 KB for fun tho, very usful when in caves.

[123noob]

I like ur life control channeling expression.

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.
