im the wizard at 2:50, good vid bro w content, i think arcane is really strong but im gonna keep running budget until overload is cheaper/better, gg man! also i thought that lightning strike FOR SURE hit u until ur prot pot didnt go away, that jump dodge was insane
I've played all the classes in the game to a certain extent and somehow, I feel like throwing spells at other players is one of the most fun things to do. However, wizard comes with a big issue that makes it a chore for me: if you want to be competitive, you have to do a lot of sitting or place campfires (which wizards are really slow at anyway) and clear mobs slowly with bad melee weapons. Old spell overload with meditate opened up the possibility to clear mobs with only spells, which is a fun experience by itself, and not worry about sitting too much. I was ready to play nothing but wizard for the rest of wipe. But now... I feel like it's back to sitting, campfires and slowly smacking goblins with crystal swords or staffs. I'm sure for a veteran like cngblade it's second nature, but I feel like I'd just rather play another class that makes pve and resetting not a chore so I can focus on pvp, which is the actual exciting part of the game. I have to try the rondel/crossbow build, though.
Hard agree with a lot of what you're saying here. Hopefully they can figure out a good mid point with wizard. When the game was still in play tests everyone played a lot slower so it didnt matter too much how long it took to recharge them (plus claritys were a ton more rampant). Now since game knowledge has naturally gotten bettter the game pace has also quicken leaving wizard in a weird spot. But also like you said the possiblity to being able to clear mobs with spells and regain them quick fixed that issue, but even as a veteran myself with 2000 hours it just feels really bad to have to go back to slow clearing modules with melee to save spells. Wizard as the class is now is still strong, but the gameplay loop seems bit scuffed and tedious tbh.
@@xStorn99x Ya I just wish I could be competitive and use spell for pve and pvp just dosnt fill like a mage more like half-ass melee for mobs. Im new to the game but its just not a fun loop for new player wanting to play with magic.
What about 5 spell with no overload and Meditate as the other ability? Build the kit around having the ability to disengage easily and reliably. Every time you succeed at a disengage, you are back to full spells in 4 seconds because meditate and you can go back before the opponent has time for a reset. It could be lick Mosquito Rogue but you are a Wizard. Would this be viable?
i mean i think 10 spell is still good in solo, i personally end up using all my spells cuz their all good in different situations, slow + ls for mid range kiting (think rouge etc) fireball/zap for mid range dps and icebolt if i need for longrange/close range escape, haste and invis ms / cast speed lets me make more risky plays lightorb for rouges/ areas where i cant see aswell (it is called dark and darker) and ignite bc it lets me be a threat in meele (enough of one atleast)
hey cng you see dagger + orb build being viable with early wipe no crafting gear/budget kits and even in normals or is it just a full juicer expensive build?
thoughts on taking instant cast for higher dps? i think it can really catch people off guard if you fireball them then instant cast another one and resourcefulness also reduces the cd pretty well so its up pretty often
Dagger is hard to say because of lack spell and you need to loose hp most of fight and campfire. The kit is also not cheap I would rate it lower than 10 spells prob 5-6
i still use spell overload, just use more knowledge on the kit and use meditation. The downside of not having 6 fireballs and 8 ices with meditation its just not worthy.
I think a good way to build wizard now is actually 10 spell overload. Cuz now if u want to do overload u need to build so much extra knowledge for casting speed (rather than for memory) So if ur casting speed is decent despite overload u already have the memory for 10spell also. So u bring sage, overload, the reduce to 1 cas time perk and quick chant. Either that, bonk wiz (which did not care about the change that much) Or just do focus wiz without overload (for solo and maaaaybe duo) Cuz the dmg on wiz has not been touched atall, the double fireball from focus still nukes.
No way you just tried to stand tank like that at the end. "Best wizard" dude. Jump and you won't get headshot the entire time he stabs you, if you weren't fighting a bad fighter you should've lost, dude let u run at him without turning till the end.
Sucks, I had just started playing wizard, and I was using overload too. I'm not a beast at the game yet I've only just began playing so I need a few extra spells cuz I be missin a lot. Now my cast speed is so fuckin slow I just can't see myself playing this class anymore and it sucks cuz I was really enjoying it the most
Wizard damage got gutted, they added way more magic resist items, increased everyone's HP and reduced the number of spells wizard has. Simply put, wizards do not have the spell count to kill players without overload. The spell counts are based on the damage wizards were doing back in the ruins days, but that's just not the case any more. These nerfs have killed wizard in any competitive capacity

At the end of the day, the best build, is the one you enjoy playing the most ! Good luck in the dungeon (Last fight is crazy)
Hey man, glad to see your still making darker content. Thanks for the wizard update!
wizard so cooked we runnin melee crossy 🙏

Yes I heard the spell and jumped it luckily
ABSOLUTELY love your gameplay man. For the future please include the loot!
Sure man thank you !

very wholesome that the last fighter lost the melee range statcheck despite having procpot + being the first to start attacking
I was the Druid in the first clip lol ggs much love

hey cng you see dagger + orb build being viable with early wipe no crafting gear/budget kits and even in normals or is it just a full juicer expensive build?
I think viable with only juice low gear you have no dex no dmg
thoughts on taking instant cast for higher dps? i think it can really catch people off guard if you fireball them then instant cast another one and resourcefulness also reduces the cd pretty well so its up pretty often
Cheesy ability, arcane is better in 90% of scenario
@@cngblade Idk I think if you used it after landing a spell or two the damage could catch people off guard and delete them
A video on your keybinds would be a banger! I am genuinely curious what your movement keys are on.
It’s default key bind
@@cngblade thank you! I had just assumed maybe you had something weird going on with the movement keys based on where you have your abilities set.
What build would you run with a budget kit?
10 spells Classic
What's your rate on dagger + orb ? You did only for the other 2
And what build will you be using ?
Dagger is hard to say because of lack spell and you need to loose hp most of fight and campfire. The kit is also not cheap I would rate it lower than 10 spells prob 5-6
what perks should we run for ball-dagger, i was thinking:
fire-mastery
quick chant
arcane mastery
melt
Arcane quick ice shield reactive
How many hours do you have?
3.2k
lol with new op in squad gear, it feels like an eternity till zap is casted
i still use spell overload, just use more knowledge on the kit and use meditation. The downside of not having 6 fireballs and 8 ices with meditation its just not worthy.

Yeah I run 10 overload in trio it’s good
Meditate not worth it?
Good for beginners, arcane shield optimal for pvp
what are you running then when a dark area appears it gets kinda pink?
In trios 10 spells is bis now,rigth?
Yeah I run 10 spells no overload
Is orb+dagger better than bonk?
Id love to see a helmet slot option for wizard that has knowledge base, just so ur not kinda stuck needing to build the other knowledge items.
Makes no sense that a knowledge head piece doesn’t exist
@@thrtmt Agreed, while cleric have choices 🙃
Hopefully sorcerer brings one with him 🧙♂️
Wizard needs more gear options.
How about overspell bonk wizard？
I don’t like promoting bonk Wizard but yeah it’s good
rating on ball-rondel?
Expensive would not recommend just go 10 spells
No spell wiz when?
Intense focus meditate BIS
Wizard stil rules in a good hand
Yup
dagorb gaming
hope wizard gets nerfed more ( nothing personal )

So basicaly you need to be rich to play wiz now sad
If you want to be as powerful as before yes but we still have buffed fireball and quick chant no overload
