grilled cheese addict well because I solo ice all the way up to 130 I would rarely drop below 2000 of my max hp every boss battle they haven’t nerfed the actual good spells luckily Even though they nerfed abominable weaver I rarely used that
Out of sheer determination since I made poor choices when I was younger, I've been a solo life wizard for almost 80 levels at this point with no plans to stop doing that. It's painful.
Similarly, My Ice is my main and I love her to bits. I tried playing a Storm and I just couldn't lmao, I'm so used to playing Ice. It can be an insane pain, especially when fighting other Ice, but they can pry my Ice main from my cold dead fingers XD
As a myth main, I totally agree about the minion thing. I think I never used minions past Krokotopia ever as they become really bad later on and just overall useless. Their low health and damage just make them a waste of a turn. Maybe a way to fix them is by making them controllable by the wizard who summoned them, Pirate101 style. You can view their deck and select or discard spells. These would make them powerful and useful in later worlds, by being able to break shields or buff. This could be said for any school with a minion. However, I think that would make them a bit broken in PvP (correct me if I'm wrong), so it could be a PvE only feature.
As a myth wizard, I would agree with the minion issue in regards to the main minions. The thing that makes myth amazing when using minions is by using the one's you get with monstrology (sorry if I spelled it wrong). All minions cost 2 pips no matter how strong they get. The perm minion spells you get are useless though, I agree
actually if you're soloing some really hard bosses, certain minions can be really good at keeping you alive like talos or minotaur. but yeah other than that minions are pretty bad
As someone who has been a fire main for YEARS (like, before Grizzleheim, before mounts, Dragonspyre and level 50 were endgame) this pleases me. Still sad about the efreet nerf though, that shit hurted.
It did need some kind of nerf (and i'm a fire main). however i think the only necessary nerf for it should've been the -90% to a -50% while keeping damage untouched
I ain't disagreeing. But when i was a kid and braindead. Ice allowed me allot of breathing room. The high health and good resist just let me breath enough to do what i wanted. Though - baseline efficiency (time wise - ice is just a bit better than dead. Cause scarecrow is the first and really only all hit spell till lvl 100, unless you have amber for deernight)
I feel like even with the nerfs, ice is still really good for soloing. With the high health and as long as you don’t have bazaar gear, you can get several blades and traps on before you even get close to dying to any boss (except the cheating final bosses). It sure takes long and is annoying, but definetly more secure to solo than any other school except death
I agree. I mean honestly this was before the summer update but I'm an ice main and have solo'd most if not all of the worlds from wizard city all the way to mirage
with death as my main, i will be honest that i love just how versatile the school is because you can hold your own in basically every aspect. offensive can be fairly strong and you can inflict bunches of damage, in support you can place traps that’ll help your teammates, or heck you can put a decent heal on your team or yourself as well. in my opinion, death is very good for someone who wants to be able to hold their own when soloing, and be able to help those around you too. though i do think that setting up an attack to do damage can take a bit- i love it
Bro I had a completely different experience on ice, since I’ve had the high health/ resist I just blade and feint stacked endlessly I never really used any strat to get to max. It was honestly way easier than let’s say my storm wizard was because my storm wizard died before I could do anything 😅
Same! I played as life with my sister as ice. We did pretty well, got up to around level 75 before we stopped playing. Then again this was all like?? Eight years ago lmao
Honestly, I think life is worse then ice, because life’s main draw is healing. Healing uses up pips, which is inefficient in soloing. On my ice wizard, I never die and almost never use heals. If life and ice have similar stats, then life’s heals become more obsolete, unless you are on a team. No hate to life wizards though. I’m sure they are a godsend to low-health hitters in teams.
I solo just fine on my life wizard, usually don't even run heals unless I'm doing something especially challenging but when I do that its usually not solo and I slide over to support. Once you get forest lord its pretty easy, though that is probably the toughest one to get imo for the lvl 48 AOE's.
I never found no balance prisms as a problem, we get enough buffs to make elemental/spiritual viable, plus the ratio of balance bosses to any others is in our favor
As a storm mage, whenever I'm in a bossfight I can't just damage through, I summon an elemental. They offer taunt, elemental and spirit shields, healing and damagers. It's pretty sweet.
I think that death is a better school than fire actually. Death doesn't have as much damage as fire however it definitely has enough damage as is, which is all you need for PvE. It also has a great deal of versatility especially when compared to fire. It has better defense and can also fully heal it's self.
Um I don't wanna be rude. But death was my second wizard. And im on fire now. No -just no. Death only has scarecrow as a all hit spell till 100 - deernight requires amber. Stuff you wont have unless you're late in the game or have other wizards. Fire shits on all that and you can desteoy with dots. You might just have a wee bit of a bias view. Late game - healing is cool and all - but i can just finish a fight Oh and scarecrow comes at 48 Wayyyyy to long till you get that and its a pain already with other schools and their aoes
@@Lemontarts01 If you really wanna get technical, you can get deer knight at lvl 1 if you’re insane enough to go through the Atheneum and fight the Loremaster, will you get boosted? Yeah Is it worth it? Yeah
@@blui3609 Not necessarily true, the role of fire and death in a team is completely different. Fire is superior as hitter, while death is an excellent supporter. Can't exactly compare them that way.
Death is number one by a HUGE margin I think. The swap half to health makes any death wizard who knows what they're doing basically invincible, and they have great damage as well.
I love ice, and I've found it very easy to quest with. It usually take 3 rounds in regular mob fights, and 6 in boss fights for me. I've soloed all the way up to Azteca so far (except for Olympus and Atlantea), and I'm continuing to solo. Of course some fights aren't easy, but it just takes some time. I've only died twice btw, once in mirror lake, and once in Mount Olympus.
As an ice main, a lot of the points he made are very fair. Solo questing takes a long time, but you don’t die very often. It is very rare for me to be below half health even in boss fights. My main role in a group boss fight is to not die during a massive aoe so everyone who did die has a chance to flee, heal, and recall so we don’t have to start the fight over. It isn’t very glamorous, but it can be invaluable.
i chose death and a shitty name 🤡 i love being death but my name is “Rebecca Darkmask” unfortunately :,) 12 y/o me had no taste and 18 y/o me pays for it
you know, i've had my ice wizard since 2008 but i never really *played* the game, i'm finally hard questing and i agree it takes a long time to quest with him but ice still and always will hold a special place in my heart
Personally I find balance a decent school while they don't have prisms they don't need it as they typically have spells that deal damage storm ice or fire damage, so their prism is literally built into a portion of their damage output. That way you don't need to waste a turn setting up a prism.
My first character was a Death student. Then I lost the account and 10 years later. My second character will be a Death Student. One reason: Death Stegooooo
I think Death is the best school for solo questing. You put fire ahead because of the damage but death actually does a fair bit of damage, especially if you got a decent pet, combining that with the ability to heal a lot for free from your attacks and how you get feint for free. That healing ability is a major plus for it as because fire only has a small heal and then a slightly improved version in their school. If they want to heal, they have to use pixie or another life spell and if you dont have a mastery, that is going to impact your questing a lot. You'll have to go around and keep collecting wisps or going to buy potions whereas if you're death and you're in a dungeon you'll heal anything your attacker did while killing them and then you can move on immediately. Fire has a little bit more firepower in terms of damage on spells but with the right gear, death can certainly make up for it and kill just as easy. I will give fire one thing over death though and that is that it has a 4 pip aoe and death doesn't(until you craft/get from drop or pack deer knight or headless horseman). But you'll have to blade and maybe trap and then you'll have enough pips anyways. Overall, death is a much better school for solo questing than fire. However, the best school for anyone wanting to play is the school with the spells they think are the coolest and the type of way they want to play. Every school, if you play smart and have good gear, can be really powerful and strong.
@@convillaria life is still very good, questing is slow if you aren’t versed in how to play life solo and you can very much still compete in pvp with life.
I think we can all agree that the most effective schools are the ones that can both end fights quickly and prepare in case npcs are particularly smart today.
would like to point something out, with that being that FL is now obtained at level 48 ive basically quested on life, whos in khrysalis, but it must say that questing hasnt been that bad, especially once i got FL. i rarely ever die, and when i do, its most likely because its a cheating boss. we got good survivability which helps with surviving (wow! really? i wouldnt have guessed!)
I've been trying to tell people that FL is broken once you get it. Two blades with FL will kill almost every enemy I've faced so far. I usually don't even have heals in my deck unless its a rather difficult boss or dungeon, and I usually don't solo those. Life is my favorite out of all of my wizards
I swear man I spent 4 years doing it solo and only made it to like level 99. It was my first wiz before I new to stick to the main story line. Wasted a lot of time but probably seen more of the B.S side quest that I would’ve never done
Tbh, ice is a btch to kill but they can pretty much solo all the worlds. Fire is always favored by KI and takes no skill whatsoever to use. Storm is always somehow doing less damage than Fire yet storm is supposed to be the school for damage output? Gotta love KI
What's worse regarding ice isn't lack of damage potential rather the fact they fail short in every role there is - not enough damage to be put in hitter category which is occupied by mostly storm and fire and also myth after latest update , not much utility to be a support which is held by death and balance , and can't heal like life, and tanking is now been done with jade gear by either death or life so ice isn't wanted in any way. Soloing is done best by death so even there ice fails short, so honestly ice only has pvp left , in which their max health and resist with weaver as a jackpot card shines bright
Ice is definitely one of the easiest to PvE as. As a former Storm player, it feels absolutely amazing to just never die lol. Blizzard will take care of mob battles.
Storm is amazing, but when you first start out, storm is practically obsolete without tempest because the spell doesn't come out until level 38. And there's no aoe until then
I agree with your position on Ice. Most times I have to buy a level 50 life henchman to really get buy in a pinch. For Ice wizards moon spell and sun spells will be your saving grace if you want to do increased damage in battle. I mostly have no single hit cards for when I'm questing, always global.
not gonna lie, your bias against fire because it was your first wizard, death is best. My first school was life and i would put it where you did at 6th, as for fire i would stick it at second .
I haven’t played this game in like eight years, does it still get updates? And I would play more but I literally have had the worst pc’s ever for the past couple of years
i’m using my dad’s trash old pc i used as a kid to run it, it runs fine lol, (windows 7) i recommend just using the lowest graphic settings to avoid frame rate drops/lag
Fire and Death each have their own thing that sets them apart. Fire has its DOT, and very powerful single target hits, while Death has the debuff ability of balance along with being able to steal health with Lulu. Both are great for solo’ing and it’s really hard to name a true #1 out of those 2 schools IMO.
im still so angry as a storm that so many of our spells were nerfed for the whiny pvp crybabies. our whole deal is to hit ridiculously hard and now we barely do as much as a fire. it's honestly infuriating me still to this day lmao
How smoothly and casually he talks at 1:49 makes me laugh every time because it's so true. My main is ice and it takes forever to hit hard, but i actually love ice because I am a slow, patient quester and tbh I dont have much difficulty solo questing.
YOO I'm also a life main because of my incessant desire to play support and suffer while soloing, and by the gods, I remember the forest lord quest being a nightmare to do 😂 This was all like, several years ago for me. But wow, so many fond memories
I know I’m soooo late to this but I’m just seeing it. I was always a life wizard, and I’d argue it should have a better position. I was a solo player 85+% of the time and had no problem. Slow gameplay for sure, but it had a basic process to battles. Blading up and healing while waiting to do a killing blow. Both boss battles and regular minions were no problem due to the basic process of healing and stacking blades. The school gets 1000% better once forest lord is gotten… and in the max levels the multi hit lamassu or single hit hungry caterpillar. I will give you lamassu was a way better hit before debuff for sure! I also had such a good time in major dungeons being the team healer and protector while having some fun hitting once in a while. All around I think life school as it was originally was under appreciated. Also I never had a secondary school because I didn’t find it necessary. Thanks for reading lol 😁
I haven't played in around 7 years but I mained balance and everything felt so easy... Though other schools are perhaps better, but the satisfaction of max power pip judgement fully buffed can never be rivaled.
Controversial but I literally hate solo questing any other school than Life. If you have that fighting style, and your willing to seriously grind up until like level 60, you’ll eventually find that your able to keep up with the rest of the schools for the most part and you’ll feel like you actually earned your spot.
i've been an ice main for like 10+ years now maybe alot more but tbh the school is one of the most broken schools still to this day if you know how to wombo combo a jit out of the pvp arena, then you are a menace especially with all that hp it gives you alot of room to think and act, pve is something else but I have some serious top notch pvp combos that leave life and balance grasping for breathing room like its a triangle choke from minute one, I can however see why it would be unfun or just overall not a good experience imo its more of a pvp school and it always seems to have been
Also yes, normally I’m all about stuff like fire or edge like death, but for some reason I’m super into my ice wizard, and honestly all that hp seriously is super useful when dealing with many things in the game, and also being able to give defense to myself and my allies, I was super shocked to hear ice as last.
I mostly agree but what I would personally consider is, how good is a school at doing what it is supposed to. At higher levels even if an ice can hit there is always gonna be a better option. That being said myth is the worst class. It does nothing well and everytime I have a myth on my team I wish it was anything else. This is KI's fault though for making an entire class identity out of mechanics they basically made worthless in all high level pve (stuns and minions).
Honestly Balance is very weak in the 2nd arc, lack of blade stacking really hurts and you end up having to paper cut your way through mobs sometimes with power nova's ( with new update) and Sandstorms. This is particularly bad from Zafaria till you train sharpen blade in Azteca although it doesn't really resolve till you get nested fury at Lvl 108. Given that the second arc contains the most quests and takes the most time anyway means that balance isn't a very good questing school on the whole ( very good in arc 1 bc no balance shields, arc 3 you get nested and can use elemental blades with it.)
As an ice and death main, I can confirm the placement of both. I would argue that death is the best but I've never used fire before. One of the biggest complaints I have with ice is how much later you get your blade compared to other schools.
Balance really does suffer when it comes to things resisting you without an immediate workaround, but picking up life as a secondary is some of the most fun I've had. Popping Satyr when you need the heals or Centaur after throwing out all of the universals always feels good. And Judgement is just a pretty great spell, change my mind.
As a death main, I respectfully disagree. The ability to wreck anything and go from no health to max health in one attack provided the right set up is worth more than fire's offense. As far as PVE, death wiz's are among the hardest to kill if they're played right.
I remember someone was fully buffed and used call of katholo( sorry if I spelled it wrong) and they had 8000x4. Ah I was extremely butt-hurt by that. But as a Fire wizard I feel much more violent and offensive because of the heavy hits, especially with enough buffs or sometimes none. The tops schools will always be Fire Death and Storm, no matter the order because let’s face it; we’re the pillar men of wizard 101 (yep it IS a Jojo reference). When I’m teamed up with death and Storm, yo....it’s a beautiful feeling.
Started a new ice wizard and you literally never die or even get close to it, which was pretty nice coming from a storm wizard, but the kill time is definitely a lot longer
I used to play this game all the time, I was a life student, I currently can’t find my account information so I haven’t played in years. Can’t believe they did this.
As a person who has maxed out all schools, here is my PvE ranking list in my opinion: 1. Death (hitting to heal is OP especially since a good amount of moves are AOE) 2. Ice (resist builds are crazy if done right, just find the sweet spot in regards to resist and damage) 3. Storm (glass canon, amazing damage but annoying in solo fights against quite a bit of bosses since storm wizards have low health. Many tower shield TCs were used lol) 4. Balance (really fun since you can use every school through your moves, even better if you have mastery amulets and learn perm spells from other schools) 5. Fire (similar to storm sorta, just a bit more health, a bit less damage and a little more accuracy in comparison. revolves around DOT) 6. Life (obviously good at healing, making a heal support is kinda fun to help others but honestly boring through the whole game) 7. Myth (got a bit better after some needed updates and additions to spells. however, still not that great. its got low health like fire school but less damage than fire school. its got a bit more resist and accuracy though. the minions arent that great even though myth revolves around them it seemed like. Struggled through the games with it the most, praying they buff/improve/add stuff to make it better. i love the school and the looks of everything about it, but its just lacking)
Of course my two favorite schools are in last and second last :( Ice and Life suck, but they were my first characters when I was a kid and had no idea what I was doing. Nostalgia
Nope it’s not a glitch, it’s meant to be like that with the new update. They intentionally put Forest Lord as a level 48 spell, and buffed it in damage. Not sure why this wiz tuber didn’t mention that change.
I believe you have to max level all class wizards to compare them or at least make all your wizards the same level to compare them. Ice may be very weak in the attacking point of view, but it has very high hp and can last much longer in battles than the other classes, so it still can beat bosses but at not so fast pace as other op wizards.
As a storm, solo questing in Arc 2 and Arc 1 worlds was literally torture. I didnt have enough health or resist to live enough rounds to attack many of the times, Myth should be above Storm for solo questing, if you're a storm but questing with someone else then it's great to be a storm, otherwise, the struggle is real and my first wiz was a storm so I would know
i never play solo, so me and my friends, life, death and storm, and lemme tell u, we are UNSTOPPABLE. but when i (life) have to go by myself i do be struggling 😭😭

with death as my main, i will be honest that i love just how versatile the school is because you can hold your own in basically every aspect. offensive can be fairly strong and you can inflict bunches of damage, in support you can place traps that’ll help your teammates, or heck you can put a decent heal on your team or yourself as well. in my opinion, death is very good for someone who wants to be able to hold their own when soloing, and be able to help those around you too.
though i do think that setting up an attack to do damage can take a bit- i love it
Bro I had a completely different experience on ice, since I’ve had the high health/ resist I just blade and feint stacked endlessly I never really used any strat to get to max. It was honestly way easier than let’s say my storm wizard was because my storm wizard died before I could do anything 😅
Fair enough, guess it's just not my thing
As ice you are tanky enough to just buff up and kill everything with Snowball barrage
After changes it should be even easier (My ice is on eu :v )
i loved ice personally im 130 with 125 damage and 48 resist.
The problem is, if you’re fighting a boss with any form of cheating against buffs, you’re completely screwed.
I love ice but it might be because they tank and every game I play I am the tank person
With fire, storm, and death being my favorite 3, I am happy with this list
Me who mains a life and an ice wizard watching this: 👁👄👁
Same, I play as ice
SAME
My main is a Life. My other two characters are Ice and Myth. Ouch.
Samee
Same! I played as life with my sister as ice. We did pretty well, got up to around level 75 before we stopped playing. Then again this was all like?? Eight years ago lmao
Honestly, ice isn't the worst...
Moon is
I agree

*Faeriequeens would like to know your location*
Ice is my main, so i love my ice wizard
Seriously though Moon is complete trash
Finally, something we can all agree on.
Honestly, I think life is worse then ice, because life’s main draw is healing. Healing uses up pips, which is inefficient in soloing. On my ice wizard, I never die and almost never use heals. If life and ice have similar stats, then life’s heals become more obsolete, unless you are on a team.
No hate to life wizards though. I’m sure they are a godsend to low-health hitters in teams.
I solo just fine on my life wizard, usually don't even run heals unless I'm doing something especially challenging but when I do that its usually not solo and I slide over to support. Once you get forest lord its pretty easy, though that is probably the toughest one to get imo for the lvl 48 AOE's.
Life WAY better on a team comp though
I wish minions progressively scaled up in power along with the player, that would certainly make them a lot more useful.
Video: Ice is last
Alexander Lionheart: Hold my beer
he's the exception
Oh? Who is this legend?
I never found no balance prisms as a problem, we get enough buffs to make elemental/spiritual viable, plus the ratio of balance bosses to any others is in our favor
As a storm mage, whenever I'm in a bossfight I can't just damage through, I summon an elemental. They offer taunt, elemental and spirit shields, healing and damagers. It's pretty sweet.
"The minions are kinda dogshit KI" lmfao
I think that death is a better school than fire actually. Death doesn't have as much damage as fire however it definitely has enough damage as is, which is all you need for PvE. It also has a great deal of versatility especially when compared to fire. It has better defense and can also fully heal it's self.
Death is better for solo but ur usually gonna be on a team where fire is superior to death in that regard.
Um I don't wanna be rude. But death was my second wizard.
And im on fire now.
No -just no.
Death only has scarecrow as a all hit spell till 100 - deernight requires amber. Stuff you wont have unless you're late in the game or have other wizards.
Fire shits on all that and you can desteoy with dots.
You might just have a wee bit of a bias view.
Late game - healing is cool and all - but i can just finish a fight
Oh and scarecrow comes at 48
Wayyyyy to long till you get that and its a pain already with other schools and their aoes
@@Lemontarts01
If you really wanna get technical, you can get deer knight at lvl 1 if you’re insane enough to go through the Atheneum and fight the Loremaster, will you get boosted? Yeah
Is it worth it? Yeah
@@blui3609 Not necessarily true, the role of fire and death in a team is completely different. Fire is superior as hitter, while death is an excellent supporter. Can't exactly compare them that way.
@@dragonfireinfernus336 wait wat? And how?
Death is number one by a HUGE margin I think. The swap half to health makes any death wizard who knows what they're doing basically invincible, and they have great damage as well.
I love ice, and I've found it very easy to quest with. It usually take 3 rounds in regular mob fights, and 6 in boss fights for me. I've soloed all the way up to Azteca so far (except for Olympus and Atlantea), and I'm continuing to solo. Of course some fights aren't easy, but it just takes some time. I've only died twice btw, once in mirror lake, and once in Mount Olympus.
O=Kay, here's my opinion: Combine the best of Ice (health and def) and Storm (damage and crit) and you have an unstoppable warlord.
As an ice main, a lot of the points he made are very fair. Solo questing takes a long time, but you don’t die very often. It is very rare for me to be below half health even in boss fights. My main role in a group boss fight is to not die during a massive aoe so everyone who did die has a chance to flee, heal, and recall so we don’t have to start the fight over. It isn’t very glamorous, but it can be invaluable.

Me, a lvl 20 fire main going through Krokotopia and seeing all the fire and ice NPCs: *happy fire prism noises*
Personally I find balance a decent school while they don't have prisms they don't need it as they typically have spells that deal damage storm ice or fire damage, so their prism is literally built into a portion of their damage output. That way you don't need to waste a turn setting up a prism.

One reason: Death Stegooooo
I think Death is the best school for solo questing. You put fire ahead because of the damage but death actually does a fair bit of damage, especially if you got a decent pet, combining that with the ability to heal a lot for free from your attacks and how you get feint for free. That healing ability is a major plus for it as because fire only has a small heal and then a slightly improved version in their school. If they want to heal, they have to use pixie or another life spell and if you dont have a mastery, that is going to impact your questing a lot. You'll have to go around and keep collecting wisps or going to buy potions whereas if you're death and you're in a dungeon you'll heal anything your attacker did while killing them and then you can move on immediately. Fire has a little bit more firepower in terms of damage on spells but with the right gear, death can certainly make up for it and kill just as easy. I will give fire one thing over death though and that is that it has a 4 pip aoe and death doesn't(until you craft/get from drop or pack deer knight or headless horseman). But you'll have to blade and maybe trap and then you'll have enough pips anyways. Overall, death is a much better school for solo questing than fire. However, the best school for anyone wanting to play is the school with the spells they think are the coolest and the type of way they want to play. Every school, if you play smart and have good gear, can be really powerful and strong.
Wait orthurus is an AOE now? I haven’t played in a while lol, myth is my main I’m happy
My main is life :') I haven't played in a while either and this video made me sad lol
@@convillaria life is still very good, questing is slow if you aren’t versed in how to play life solo and you can very much still compete in pvp with life.
Myth is my main too and I was sooo happy I didn’t have to use frog anymore. Wasting so much health to build up blades was very annoying.
I think we can all agree that the most effective schools are the ones that can both end fights quickly and prepare in case npcs are particularly smart today.
would like to point something out, with that being that FL is now obtained at level 48
ive basically quested on life, whos in khrysalis, but it must say that questing hasnt been that bad, especially once i got FL. i rarely ever die, and when i do, its most likely because its a cheating boss. we got good survivability which helps with surviving (wow! really? i wouldnt have guessed!)
I've been trying to tell people that FL is broken once you get it. Two blades with FL will kill almost every enemy I've faced so far. I usually don't even have heals in my deck unless its a rather difficult boss or dungeon, and I usually don't solo those. Life is my favorite out of all of my wizards
as an ice wizard, i can confirm that it does take 7 fucking years to build up any kind of hit 😂
God it's so frustrating 😭 my storm spells be saving my ass big time in battles 🥴
@@nadiyahmomo9011 The fire dragon remains unmatched 🙃
I swear man I spent 4 years doing it solo and only made it to like level 99. It was my first wiz before I new to stick to the main story line. Wasted a lot of time but probably seen more of the B.S side quest that I would’ve never done
Tbh, ice is a btch to kill but they can pretty much solo all the worlds. Fire is always favored by KI and takes no skill whatsoever to use. Storm is always somehow doing less damage than Fire yet storm is supposed to be the school for damage output? Gotta love KI
Ice gets slept on fr. Ice is the best to solo with if you're actually good and patient due to the tankiness
What's worse regarding ice isn't lack of damage potential rather the fact they fail short in every role there is - not enough damage to be put in hitter category which is occupied by mostly storm and fire and also myth after latest update , not much utility to be a support which is held by death and balance , and can't heal like life, and tanking is now been done with jade gear by either death or life so ice isn't wanted in any way. Soloing is done best by death so even there ice fails short, so honestly ice only has pvp left , in which their max health and resist with weaver as a jackpot card shines bright
Ice is definitely one of the easiest to PvE as. As a former Storm player, it feels absolutely amazing to just never die lol. Blizzard will take care of mob battles.
Storm is amazing, but when you first start out, storm is practically obsolete without tempest because the spell doesn't come out until level 38. And there's no aoe until then
I agree with your position on Ice. Most times I have to buy a level 50 life henchman to really get buy in a pinch. For Ice wizards moon spell and sun spells will be your saving grace if you want to do increased damage in battle. I mostly have no single hit cards for when I'm questing, always global.
Sweet! Fire was my first pick when I was younger, and now I'm doing death.
not gonna lie, your bias against fire because it was your first wizard, death is best. My first school was life and i would put it where you did at 6th, as for fire i would stick it at second .
My first was fora too, but I really do like death. Fire feels powerful because of the rounds pretty much.
I haven’t played this game in like eight years, does it still get updates? And I would play more but I literally have had the worst pc’s ever for the past couple of years
Yeah it gets allot of updates
i’m using my dad’s trash old pc i used as a kid to run it, it runs fine lol, (windows 7) i recommend just using the lowest graphic settings to avoid frame rate drops/lag
Its changed so fucking much omg... check it out
It gets a ton of updates
Bruh wiz can play on a freaking potato wdym
Fire and Death each have their own thing that sets them apart. Fire has its DOT, and very powerful single target hits, while Death has the debuff ability of balance along with being able to steal health with Lulu. Both are great for solo’ing and it’s really hard to name a true #1 out of those 2 schools IMO.
This game brings back mad memories and storm was always the way
as someone whose main was Fire years ago, I hope to god that Fire is near the top
Edit: YEAH BABYYYY
im still so angry as a storm that so many of our spells were nerfed for the whiny pvp crybabies. our whole deal is to hit ridiculously hard and now we barely do as much as a fire. it's honestly infuriating me still to this day lmao
How smoothly and casually he talks at 1:49 makes me laugh every time because it's so true. My main is ice and it takes forever to hit hard, but i actually love ice because I am a slow, patient quester and tbh I dont have much difficulty solo questing.
Just got forest lord FINALLY, life wizard till the end🤣
YOO I'm also a life main because of my incessant desire to play support and suffer while soloing, and by the gods, I remember the forest lord quest being a nightmare to do 😂
This was all like, several years ago for me. But wow, so many fond memories
Lol Life and balance main here. I can say the same thing here. I'm just a straight masochist when it comes to supporting lol.
Omg I remember playing wizard101 and my dad would get so mad logging in for me
I know I’m soooo late to this but I’m just seeing it. I was always a life wizard, and I’d argue it should have a better position. I was a solo player 85+% of the time and had no problem. Slow gameplay for sure, but it had a basic process to battles. Blading up and healing while waiting to do a killing blow. Both boss battles and regular minions were no problem due to the basic process of healing and stacking blades. The school gets 1000% better once forest lord is gotten… and in the max levels the multi hit lamassu or single hit hungry caterpillar. I will give you lamassu was a way better hit before debuff for sure! I also had such a good time in major dungeons being the team healer and protector while having some fun hitting once in a while. All around I think life school as it was originally was under appreciated. Also I never had a secondary school because I didn’t find it necessary. Thanks for reading lol 😁
As someone who played death/balance as a kid, it's fun to see what's going on in the present day.
I haven't played in around 7 years but I mained balance and everything felt so easy... Though other schools are perhaps better, but the satisfaction of max power pip judgement fully buffed can never be rivaled.
The way you talk is funny af, I subbed. Love the humor bro
I'm having flashbacks of asking my older brother why he chose fire school and he said it was the strongest... He told me I should be balance school
Controversial but I literally hate solo questing any other school than Life. If you have that fighting style, and your willing to seriously grind up until like level 60, you’ll eventually find that your able to keep up with the rest of the schools for the most part and you’ll feel like you actually earned your spot.
I’ve soloed most of the game with little to no issues on my ice
i've been an ice main for like 10+ years now maybe alot more but tbh the school is one of the most broken schools still to this day if you know how to wombo combo a jit out of the pvp arena, then you are a menace especially with all that hp it gives you alot of room to think and act, pve is something else but I have some serious top notch pvp combos that leave life and balance grasping for breathing room like its a triangle choke from minute one, I can however see why it would be unfun or just overall not a good experience imo its more of a pvp school and it always seems to have been
I can literally solo everything fast using ice wdym lol
no one asked dude :/
xo Ceezah cool stfu
It’s a comment section, a place where people go to discuss things related to the video?
Also yes, normally I’m all about stuff like fire or edge like death, but for some reason I’m super into my ice wizard, and honestly all that hp seriously is super useful when dealing with many things in the game, and also being able to give defense to myself and my allies, I was super shocked to hear ice as last.
How do you solo fast with ice?
I mostly agree but what I would personally consider is, how good is a school at doing what it is supposed to. At higher levels even if an ice can hit there is always gonna be a better option. That being said myth is the worst class. It does nothing well and everytime I have a myth on my team I wish it was anything else. This is KI's fault though for making an entire class identity out of mechanics they basically made worthless in all high level pve (stuns and minions).
My mans at 12:16 had to head to hog warts
I freaking love your sarcasm and passive aggression lol
Honestly Balance is very weak in the 2nd arc, lack of blade stacking really hurts and you end up having to paper cut your way through mobs sometimes with power nova's ( with new update) and Sandstorms. This is particularly bad from Zafaria till you train sharpen blade in Azteca although it doesn't really resolve till you get nested fury at Lvl 108. Given that the second arc contains the most quests and takes the most time anyway means that balance isn't a very good questing school on the whole ( very good in arc 1 bc no balance shields, arc 3 you get nested and can use elemental blades with it.)
If there is a balance school. Why is there no chaos school. when you go to wysteria there is a chaos school
And then there’s my cousin who hit 1 in a million on her life wizard
As an ice and death main, I can confirm the placement of both. I would argue that death is the best but I've never used fire before. One of the biggest complaints I have with ice is how much later you get your blade compared to other schools.
Balance really does suffer when it comes to things resisting you without an immediate workaround, but picking up life as a secondary is some of the most fun I've had. Popping Satyr when you need the heals or Centaur after throwing out all of the universals always feels good. And Judgement is just a pretty great spell, change my mind.
Tanks and healers are unable to solo in every MMO. Ice and Life were made specifically as either support classes for groups or secondary schools.
As a death main, I respectfully disagree. The ability to wreck anything and go from no health to max health in one attack provided the right set up is worth more than fire's offense. As far as PVE, death wiz's are among the hardest to kill if they're played right.
I remember someone was fully buffed and used call of katholo( sorry if I spelled it wrong) and they had 8000x4.
Ah I was extremely butt-hurt by that. But as a Fire wizard I feel much more violent and offensive because of the heavy hits, especially with enough buffs or sometimes none. The tops schools will always be Fire Death and Storm, no matter the order because let’s face it; we’re the pillar men of wizard 101 (yep it IS a Jojo reference). When I’m teamed up with death and Storm, yo....it’s a beautiful feeling.
Lol now that I think about it, I never care for my life until after the fight.
Started a new ice wizard and you literally never die or even get close to it, which was pretty nice coming from a storm wizard, but the kill time is definitely a lot longer
I need a squad to play this with again /:

As a person who has maxed out all schools, here is my PvE ranking list in my opinion:
1. Death (hitting to heal is OP especially since a good amount of moves are AOE)
2. Ice (resist builds are crazy if done right, just find the sweet spot in regards to resist and damage)
3. Storm (glass canon, amazing damage but annoying in solo fights against quite a bit of bosses since storm wizards have low health. Many tower shield TCs were used lol)
4. Balance (really fun since you can use every school through your moves, even better if you have mastery amulets and learn perm spells from other schools)
5. Fire (similar to storm sorta, just a bit more health, a bit less damage and a little more accuracy in comparison. revolves around DOT)
6. Life (obviously good at healing, making a heal support is kinda fun to help others but honestly boring through the whole game)
7. Myth (got a bit better after some needed updates and additions to spells. however, still not that great. its got low health like fire school but less damage than fire school. its got a bit more resist and accuracy though. the minions arent that great even though myth revolves around them it seemed like. Struggled through the games with it the most, praying they buff/improve/add stuff to make it better. i love the school and the looks of everything about it, but its just lacking)
I know Ice doesnt have much damage, but it's supposed to be that way. Ice is all about tanking and defense.
As someone who has only
Played the free version I didn’t know most of these spells even existed
Thank you guys so much for the crazy support on this one!
Of course my two favorite schools are in last and second last :(
Ice and Life suck, but they were my first characters when I was a kid and had no idea what I was doing.
Nostalgia
I'm a Fire main but Death is insane since the update my personal rankings would be (only talking PvE)
Death
Fire
Storm
Balance
Myth
Life
Ice
i agree w this
Death and fire are so amazing. If I didn't beat the game too many times I would totally max out my death and fire.
I’m a level 62 life, and i got forest lord when i got rebirth, idk if that’s a glitch but BOY did that make everything so much easier
Nope it’s not a glitch, it’s meant to be like that with the new update. They intentionally put Forest Lord as a level 48 spell, and buffed it in damage. Not sure why this wiz tuber didn’t mention that change.
DeathTheClover i haven’t seen anyone mention it so i was so confused lol
I believe you have to max level all class wizards to compare them or at least make all your wizards the same level to compare them. Ice may be very weak in the attacking point of view, but it has very high hp and can last much longer in battles than the other classes, so it still can beat bosses but at not so fast pace as other op wizards.
As a storm, solo questing in Arc 2 and Arc 1 worlds was literally torture. I didnt have enough health or resist to live enough rounds to attack many of the times, Myth should be above Storm for solo questing, if you're a storm but questing with someone else then it's great to be a storm, otherwise, the struggle is real and my first wiz was a storm so I would know
this is clearly a option because he uses words like "think" "my" "feel like" and "personal favorite", but he does use many facts about the schools
Soloing on Death with fully enchanted drains feels like cheating lol
And I love it
i never play solo, so me and my friends, life, death and storm, and lemme tell u, we are UNSTOPPABLE. but when i (life) have to go by myself i do be struggling 😭😭
