Overview

File:Wizard.jpg

Wizards are powerful offensive magic users. They rely on dangerous magic strikes as well as devastating Area of Effect spells to wreak havoc.

Jobchange Guide

See Wizard Job Quest for detailed information.

Changing into a Wizard from a Mage requires the player to complete a number of tasks:

• Written Test
• Battle Test

After completing these tests, the player will be transformed into a Wizard. This takes place inside of the Geffen Tower.

Builds

There are a large variety of builds in terms of skills. In terms of stats however, there is freedom for originality besides using a melee build, which is unusual. Most Wizards have 99 DEX then varying levels of INT and VIT, depending on what their character have been built for.

PvM

• STR: 1
• AGI: 1
• VIT: 1-15
• INT: 120 (total) or 99 base
• DEX: 99
• LUK: 9

These Wizards can level solo or, as they more commonly are, be joined by a Priest or an entire party. Generally, the Priest will mob up monsters, Heal themselves and use Suffragium on you, reducing the cast time of a single AoE skill - such as Storm Gust or Meteor Storm. If you're levelling solo, you'll need to learn how to use Vertical Fire Wall. Many builds go for more VIT and less INT, as seen in the WoE/PvP section.

PvP/WoE

• STR: 1 - 11
• AGI: 1
• VIT: 1 - 49
• INT: 105/112/120 (total) or 99 base
• DEX: 99 base
• LUK: 9

In order to take part in WoE or even PvP, Wizards require VIT to avoid dying quickly and to resist Status Effects. Safety Wall, Stone Curse, Fire Bolt and varying levels of Jupitel Thunder and Storm Gust are popular weapons for Wizards in PvP. In WoE, Storm Gust and Meteor Storm are mainly used in precasts. Leftover stat points are dumped into STR for the single purpose to raise the Weight Limit. This can also be considered upon reaching high VIT, where a Wizard might decide holding more Potions is more effective than having higher HP or Status Effect resistence.

In PvP situations, try using Storm Gust level 1 to quickly freeze and scatter multiple targets.

Beware that opponents can easily resist Wizard skills with elemental armors and others (i.e. unfrozen) and MDEF. Players equipped with such can easily counter the damage from Storm Gust level 10. In these cases, try linking freezing techniques with Jupitel Thunder level 10 and Stone Curse with Fire Bolt level 10. Also, use various different elemental attacks if you suspect your opponent is switching armors to counter you. For example, if the damage of Jupitel Thunder is oddly low, the opponent may have equipped a Wind armor, so use Fire Bolt on them or an Earth attack instead.
