Wizard is good in solos, but people including myself hated it when the barb and cutthroat meta was around. It was exhausting to play when half the lobby were cutthroat rogues and max MS barbs. Wizard feels fine this wipe imo
I think Wiz just needs new perks already, the last thing we got was Bonk but I want more utility perks. Something like getting +50% buff duration so your haste/invis will last longer on yourself without buffing buff ball. Or a perk where when you have Orb equipped you get 100% scaling on Ignite (Dagorb returns)
As a wizard main from the beta coming back to the steam f2p I am so glad you made this guide bro thanks! Wizard has seem to changed a lot since the beta. Glad to see wizard is viable as a solo f2p class since thats mostly what I been playing. Currently lvl 6 with him now.
Ice Bolt is probably THE MOST slept on THING in the entire game currently. With ice mastery - ice bolt reduces the targets movespeed so much that the total value of movespeed lost for the enemy is actually GREATER than the movespeed value you gain from haste. Zap, Magic Missile, Fire Ball, Ice Bolt, and Invis is my setup. Ice Bolt is the replacement for haste and completely halts W key classes. Combine that with spell overload, and you have 8 ice bolts for a rediculous amount of stunlocking on the barbarian that wants your ass. TDLR: Ice Bolt is basically the same thing as haste, but it also does damage.
Been watching you since early access came out. Always excited when i see your videos. Ive been enjoying solo wiz a lot and its nice watching content on it
I managed to make a nice 10 spell build with spell overload. Literally had to go all knowledge and additional memory capacity but its so nice too have almost double of all 10 spells.
hey foxman, nice vid! I'm starting to play more with magical classes such as warlock and willing to give a shot on wizard.. theres one thing I'm not too familiar with... why do you prefere knowledge over will? isnt will directly related to your spells/magic dmg?
Wizard was my first class and i love it however i have never really been able to assemble a good kit for wiz. I am not even looking for bis just more optimized do you think you could put out like a build video for 10 spell vs spell over load. If you have the time or are interested in that at all.
@@itzdrdabber2115 I am just not sure how to build for wiz. Like I feel so weak all the time when wearing gear in comparison to other players when I get two tapped.
@@darkeldunari6744 yeah wiz is a little weird rn with how much knowledge you need. If I’m going caster wiz you want 42-46 knowledge, 300ms minimum, 120ish hp and like 40% magic power. Wiz just doesn’t feel as good as it once did, warlock isn’t technically the better caster rn but you can still go crazy on wiz
Damn dude you already sold your soul to the goblins😂 love to see new players join the dungeon and get hooked. I ve been trapped in the goblin cave for over 2000 hours and i wonder if my family is still alive. I think i had a job back in the days of sunlight. Nah fr this game is the best one we got for years. The amount of laughs and adrenaline we pumped out is crazy. Hope you have a great time playing and if you have any questions fell free to ask because this game doesnt give new players any info :D
yo Foxman Slays i want to watch more content from you but you dont any vods on twitch for darker and darker do u stream on YT or something else or u just dont save your darker and darker vods?
yeah you do gotta hit more spells but i play more naked wizard than i do super geard so it feels basically the same. but you tank like one more hit and thats everything baby
And its better to focus on knowledge to have better dps than having that one vurst spell that you might miss in a fight. So try to prio knowledge into movespeed into will. A little hp on top never hurt😅

I do think it's weak. It's not just about the nerfed damage potential, but also the previous increased time to kill. Warlocks and barbarians are 2 classes that counter wizard pretty well and they're both extremely popular classes. Warlocks have insane health recovery and barbarians are just thick as hell. It'd take several spells to kill them with the way wizard is currently. Just my opinion anyways.
@@chrisawe010 perks: reactive shield, ice armor, fire mastery, staff mastery. Spells: fire ball, zap, ignite, haste, invisibility. You can change a couple things like drop reactive shield and take arcane mastery if you want magic missile and haste isn't a must take.
@@jesseholloway7714 can you explain fire mastery over arcane for solo? is it for the extra %5? cuz I know while it extends the burn DoT duration it doesn't actually add much to the burn DoT dmg, it's just spreads it out. wouldn't faster MM and Invis be better for solo?
@@if-not-now I'd say that's one of the changes you can make yea. Fire mastery will mostly be just for damage but hurts warlock druids a lot on their healing. Cleric too but they are easy anyways. I don't take magic missle so I don't get baited into trying to crutch/last resort it.
ye sry, im rly not sold, your first go was kinda how my last 30 pvp encounters were wizard is so bad. like, if they made the buffs last twice, and you had no limits on the spells, it still would be lowkey bad. idk how can ppl say its good
I don't agree that melee is just a stat check. There are 100 ways to outplay someone in melee, you can dodge, and angle your hits and a multitude of other things. I guarantee you high-skill low gear melee people could beat mid-high gear low-skill melee people.
@@FoxmanSlays I think that was an ego move trying to cast magic missiles on him. I think even a zap instead of magic missile would have made him panic into running away from you.
Druid is the most fun class in the game and i tried them all. Its such a well made class. Sure i know it sucks to play agaibst ut but dude once sou go rat you never go back😂 been having a blast with this class. And i rly recommend everybody to play druid and learn his weaknesses
@@Shad-of-Dock the marketplace makes it so easy to buy a kit tho, you used to have to sit in trade channels and watch all the gear shit was fucking brutal lmao took 30-hour to build a kit
"what are you supposed to do about panther" nothing, fuck you, druid is the best class even after the nerfs because it can do whatever it wants. heals, peels, tanks, kites, chases, silences. overloaded class even gets the spear just to spite you
That video title is a meme right? The class might be decent in PvP but dealing with PvE and the fact that you have to rest/camp all the time makes the Wizard's gameplay horrible.
Wizard has so many more lines of play compared to all other classes that it truly isn't a meme. Just learn to bonk pve or be patient and melee them anyways. You won't be clearing like a barb but then again barbs can't can't cast ice bolt 8 times.
I like that you show full runs and not only compiliations of you rocking. It's much more authentic.
I appreciate that you showed the death in the first game and didnt show only you killing people. Keeping it real big dog

What do you do against panthers?
@@SpringHeeLJaK89 For me, Ice bolts spam with Ice mastery get things done, as long as you proc druid's dreamwalk before he gets up close.

that panther death woulda had me so tilted lmao
been running spell overload/ice mastery in solos, it's a combo that can legit destroy any class, even your counters.
*thinking about making a wizard
*sees 5:40
yeah no

Appreciate it homie 🤝
Please can you explain what your build is? I see all the icons at the bottom but I don't understand why they are good or what they all do.
Nice video. Your accent is hilariously amazing.
Thanks brother

you have a clip of the kit you are running on the second run? also… SHADOW WIZARD MONEY GANG
hey foxman, nice vid!
I'm starting to play more with magical classes such as warlock and willing to give a shot on wizard..
theres one thing I'm not too familiar with... why do you prefere knowledge over will? isnt will directly related to your spells/magic dmg?
Knowledge increases your spellcasting speed which is vitally important
will is good but only if you have enough Knowledge to pair with it. Without the cast speed you will feel weak
even just the epic fireball explosion in pvp is worth playing him, players dodge it like headless chickens and panic the hell out xD
Wizard was my first class and i love it however i have never really been able to assemble a good kit for wiz. I am not even looking for bis just more optimized do you think you could put out like a build video for 10 spell vs spell over load. If you have the time or are interested in that at all.

What makes you shoot magic missile so quickly and fast?
High casting speed/knowledge and your casting implement determines missle speed as well, with book being fastest (or tied with Orb)
I just got into this game at midnight and played till 5am it is very addicting

How does he cast magic missle so fast and with so many?
Knowledge increases your spell casting speed will increases your dmg. The more casting speed you got the faster your magic missiles fly
And its better to focus on knowledge to have better dps than having that one vurst spell that you might miss in a fight. So try to prio knowledge into movespeed into will. A little hp on top never hurt😅

Magic missile stops casting when you move and the arcane mastery perk decreases your casting time by 0.5 secs.
@@Fuzzey-Gaming Thank you for the really healpful tips :) I just got the game about 2 weeks ago and I'm trying to learn as much as I can
what stat prios do you go for wizard?

thnks i love this game i played as a fighter then rerolled barb and love it but hunter slows messed me up bad
58# video i tell foxman to keep saying yo in every beginning of a video

Panther has like 60 hp btw u can like 2 shot him with like 2 mm they are vary squishy
The panther silenced me and canceled the mm tho
