I've been using pretty much the bonk build but with an orb and dagger. I thought dps wise it would pan out better with atack speed+ignite. Also haste instead of slow. Wdy think Sensei
This is a good build for sure. I don't run it myself but I see people have success with it. I tried it back when it was worse (more movespeed reduction on orb and no armor pen on dagger) and it was surprisingly good.
@@daemonkisure2952 Not sure what you mean exactly, but if you mean which is better for the 'bonk' style build idk actually. They both are good, I feel like staff is probably better but they could be pretty close. I like having more range than dagger
Fire video, thank you so much! I'm only 30 hours into the game and just really love Wizard in any type of fantasy roleplay games, but boy is it tough in this one. I remember my first few runs, only using spells and nothing else. That was meditating galore, let me tell you... I'll definitely try out the bonk build for now, looks like a lot of fun and viable in pvp.
Glad this helps! Yeah caster is VERY tough right now, especially if you're a newer player. You cannot make even a single mistake. Bonk is a nice way to still play wizard and have room to not play perfect
Nice video. I play wizard but I am currently struggling deciding which build to use. If I choose meditation, I can help my team in PvE but I am missing 5 spells and I can't afford to miss anything in pvp. When someone starts to run and closing doors I am usually low on spells and I miss the wiz having a bit more spell charges, 4 fireballs or 2 chain lightning is ridiculous imo, you just can't miss. If I choose ten spells then I have to kill mobs in melee and it is tedious doing so with a wizard. I hope we get buffed soon, at least in the pve department...
arent u worried about burns overlapping as u melee before the last fire mastery melee wears off. Also with arcane mastery invis is almost instant which feels super nice, thoughts?
Not worried about the burn time, having the bonus dmg and the anti-heal is really what the bonus is for that perk. Arcane Mastery is amazing, I always run it for caster. Instant invis and faster MM is worth
Depends on the build you're talking about. Crystal sword is pretty good when you're geared with the way the scaling works with the magic damage. It's pretty bad in low gear with low rarity sword. There also have been nerfs to staff since this video
Hello - im giga new to the game and i wonder, why would i use the tomb instead of my staff while casting? is it purely so i can have more movementspeed? thanks !
tomb? If you mean the spell book, yes for move speed but also cast speed. Casting with the staff also takes longer. Staff is more dmg but slower cast speed and move speed
@@dcoiyt Thanks for your fast reply ! and ye sorry mb ^^ ain't my mothertongue - i feel like wizard is kinda complicated compared to like barbarians for example but it just looks sick. Also.. when casting a cast like the fireball.. can this big boy count as a headshot aswell? since its quiet big
@@sylon5694 No problem brother. Yeah wizard is the most difficult class to learn but its SO fun. I should really know the answer about fireball but I don't. I think it does headshot but not sure. I'll reply here if I find out. You can try testing on target dummy in game if you get a chance.
Crystal sword is pretty bad right now man, I'd mostly avoid it unless ur just using it for PVE. A lot of people have been complaining about it being bad, I think theyll buff it soon
Im totally new to the game, like just today and so my character reached level 15 a while ago and its slow af. Cant even dodge goblin attacks. Help ? He's a wizard
Any character can dodge goblin attacks, even at level 1 (Stats only scale with gear, not level). When you're just learning you might want to kinda run into them to trigger their attack then back up immediately, then when they are recovering from their attack you can hit. If you're playing wizard you could also use magic missile on mobs.
@@AshbornDragonborn Great to hear, you can probably now start sneaking in one attack as they approach, then back up to let them attack then attack again. Will make clearing a lot faster
@@ffsfofos7965 Most people use a spellbook as the secondary. You can use a crossbow, its funny but I dont think its very good or near as good as just casting as you go in or haste/invis rush them down if you're bonking.

was in a game and you recommended me here! AWESOME VIDEOS!! thanks so much for the content!

Yeah, wizard is pretty tough. There is nothing wrong with meditation as long as you are constantly using it to keep max spells.

Noob here. would the crystal sword be better? if not explain why please.

@@dcoiyt thanks for the response. im kinda bad with pvp. just trying to find anyway to be better.
@@JohnDoe-be2gm Just keep practicing. I do a lot of both normals and HR. It's nice to mix it up.
@ not sure if it’s a good strat but I just go in with base gear and try to find people to fight. Just to practice and not waste gear.
@@JohnDoe-be2gm I'm a fan of that. Do that until you are winning often, then start leveling up and going into higher gear lobbies or HR.
What will u run if it’s < 24 just with squire gear ?
Same perks and spells, the gear only helps the build but you can still run those builds with no gear.

What is the difference on casting spells with a book and a staff
Book usually is casting faster due to the animation, you also run faster with it out. The staff has a higher base damage though
Is there anyway to make the Crystal Sword viable? I really like the idea of Wizard but want to use a sword.
Crystal sword is pretty bad right now man, I'd mostly avoid it unless ur just using it for PVE. A lot of people have been complaining about it being bad, I think theyll buff it soon
@@dcoiyt bet appreciate it 🙏
Why do people use book on wizard when staff does more damage with spells? What benefit does book have, im new
Staff takes longer to cast, so if you're playing a caster wizard you need that speed. (Also you run faster with book)
Im totally new to the game, like just today and so my character reached level 15 a while ago and its slow af. Cant even dodge goblin attacks. Help ? He's a wizard

@@dcoiyt yep I pretty did the exact thing for the last 1 hr and it's suddenly a lot easier!
@@AshbornDragonborn Great to hear, you can probably now start sneaking in one attack as they approach, then back up to let them attack then attack again. Will make clearing a lot faster
Does fire ball spell do more damage with direct hit?
25 damage with direct hit, and 10 splash damage, when you hit them with just the explosion
why not using crossbow offhand ?
It's not good on wizard
@@dcoiyt so having nothing is better than crossbow while you can ignite shot them then go in ?

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm here cause I just killed me and my teammate with chain lighting..
I don't use chain lightning 😂 It's good, but risky
bro i was in a game against you yesterday and you were just spamming fireballs and holding doorways kinda wierd mannnn
uh oh, don't tell my secrets. Was this solo? Trio?
Interesting class, but today wizzard still weakest class in the game, sad to admit. Need big buffs
