4:35 according to the wiki the knowledge to spell casting speed soft caps are 10 to 20 = 3% each, up to 15% 20 to 50 = 2.5% each, up to 90% 50 to 80 = 2% each, up to 150%
This is correct. But another cap you didn’t take into account is items. You can reach 45 knowledge only using base knowledge from your gear, wisdom ring, chausses, gloves and boots. Why 45, because at 45, sage give you one more knowledge and you hit 46 which is 80% cast speed. Thus you can invest all of your rolls into hp, ms, dmg instead of knowledge which is expensive af
14 kd in pretty much ANY game is absolutely ridiculous. New Dark and Darker wizard here. My friends hate that i'm not playing another class because starting out has been hard. I'm sticking with it, thanks for all the content! Edit: Thanks for including an alternative to the spell overload build.
6:40 the calculation is a bit off, a more accurate calculation per missile would be (((10 + magical dmg)) * (1 + 0,75 * magical damage bonus)) + additional dmg) * (1 - (magical dmg reduction from enemy * (1 - magic pen))) + true dmg
@@GrandMoffTarkinsTeaDispenser Not quite, I Made a small mistake in the order (1 - magical dmg reduction) * (1 - Magic pen) -> (1 - (magical dmg reduction * (1 - Magic pen)) If we were to use (1 - magical dmg reduction) * (1 + Magic pen) It would mean that Magic pen can increase your dmg beyond the enemies magical dmg reduction. This is not the case because Magic pen is a % modifier to magical dmg reduction
bro that’s so crazy RUclips recommended this to me, I just hit lv 40 on my wizard after just coming back from beta and I spent like 300 gold to build a sub
Since I believe you really have a grasp on the solo experience. Do you think they have to rework rogues stealth? I main rogue and honestly i hope the class gets a full rework on its sad mechanic of camping for kills.
ay ,i've met you a few days ago in goblin caves in trios,u blasted our asses in seconds :D was an honor meeting you,but still i wish there was some kind of matchmaking,so i don't meet you in my first few highroller games haha gg however,nice video
@@cngblade i think forcing them would make a lot of people quit,specially if they get thrown against people 10x their skill and gear. they should make highroller more appealing,maybe taking out the 100g fee ,or make us get the 100g back if we exit would help a lot of new players
Your videos make me want to get good at Wizard! I mostly play duos, would you still recommend this build? I know 10 spells is the way for trios, but I feel like for duos being self-reliant is a tad more important.,so I'm not sure Either way, really appreciate the content!h
That’s a really good observation, being self reliant is super important in duo, and I love running that build too. For clearing PVE, and boss and not having to stick to my partner against Rogue and Panther
hi cng, love your content, minor thing but i think you've previously said you like health rolls on book but at 7:30 you said just to go magic damage on book, can you please clarify?
Health is ok, but it gives you hp only when you have book out. Especially that all class got 15 flat hp buff. Hp is less important. Killing people faster is
What would you recommend for a solo player under 25 gear score? I’ve been able to get the cast speed to 50%-60% from the squire, but I can’t fit the perk spell overload without dropping a spell. If you were a new player trying to learn the basics of pvp with wizard without dropping gold, how would you build it?
Is 46 knowledge thru sage really necessary? Is it not better to just run a more active perk? Or can you get that last point in knowledge just on a different ring etc.
It's a good question, I like hitting 80% cast speed. And sage can be dropped for sure, anything that ca be covered by gear, is dropable. However knowledge is soo expensive right now that I don't wanna do it. To get that 4 knowledge from sage I would have to spend over 20-30% more for every kit I build
Is fire mastery not very effective? I feel like on paper it sounds so good with the 5% damage increase, the extra burn ticks, and reduced healing. Which is great for fireball and zap. Also with the arcane shield being nerfed and meditation being buffed what do you recommend?
Fire mastery on paper sounds good, in practice it’s ass the burn is delayed so you deal less damage because enemies don’t take full tick dmg due to debuff duration. Arcane shield was a 5hp nerf which is nothing. And meditate is a PVE ability so
What do you think about this build but 10 spell, and change overload for frost shield, and use slow for barb. This is what I do, but I think you converted me on the staff perk.
@@cngblade you still have protection pots, and light orb with slow. Idk we have a bit of a different play style. I will be changing to staff mastery to check it out. Do you pre pop arcane shield or something? Because I wouldn't have time to hit arcane before I was stabbed to death. Also the silence won't allow you to pop the arcane shield skill right?
@@mikekedian1221 I drink blue pot, when face checking a new area. Arcane shield used only when I actually fight someone, because you can pop it mid jump. Yes if your opponent has cut throat you can't use it but cut throat = no dmg, so 2 bonk with ignite should kill
Hitting zap is way easier if you let go and then flick(aim) on the target. When you let go of your right click there's a huge delay before casting (even with spellbook) so if you let go first and then aim that delay will be less noticeable
Hey CNG im curious in all your time playing wizard have you ever tried zapping an enemy and you take damage from zap instead of them? Im thinking the guy i was zapping is either a hacker or it was some kind of game breaking bug
this game would be better without gear but its also a waste of time playing without gear, so bassically you work your ass off to get gear then get steam rolled by better gear.. 10/10
This is actually wrong, especially playing Wizard. You can kill any class because you have dmg. Having better gear on Wizard at some point is just more hp and move speed, not more dmg
I made a video about base kit Wizard you should check it out. Base kit Wizard with ice mastery and ice bolt is really strong. For mid gear just having knowledge and 6 true is dmg shouldnt cost more than 2k gold
Yeah he was rank #1 solo wiz atleast once in preseason 1, havent checked leaderboards much after that but im sure hes been high ranked every other season too (demigod this season already as well)
You make really good content but hearing your lips seperate and every single inhale through the nostrils is insanely offputting, id rather hear an xbox connect mic than that
Stop Playing Bonk, Be a real Wizard, go Hybrid !
I really like my hybrid build, but it's the other way around to yours, it's high cast speed, intense focus and 70% magic power with staff

This is not the case because Magic pen is a % modifier to magical dmg reduction
Additional and true damage are also multiplied by the 0.75
You re correct, the point stands that mag doesn’t give as much dmg as true mag.
Havent been playing solo wiz lately but youve convinced me. I’ll go hybrid instead of bonk as soon as i lose my kit lmaoo
Okay I am convinced to try this
Also 10 spells overload is very fun!!
Great video! Thanks for guide!
lol that first clip was awesome.
bro that’s so crazy RUclips recommended this to me, I just hit lv 40 on my wizard after just coming back from beta and I spent like 300 gold to build a sub
Good luck, you can still build the same with lower budget
I've encountered the same build yesterday in duo, it was a terrifying experience and me and my duo got decimated. It's a strong build
Since I believe you really have a grasp on the solo experience. Do you think they have to rework rogues stealth? I main rogue and honestly i hope the class gets a full rework on its sad mechanic of camping for kills.
Yeah the mechanic is not healthy for the game in my opinion. Rogue should be an acrobatic character with a lot of movement, not a landmine one.
ay ,i've met you a few days ago in goblin caves in trios,u blasted our asses in seconds :D
was an honor meeting you,but still i wish there was some kind of matchmaking,so i don't meet you in my first few highroller games haha
gg however,nice video
Agreed, but matchmaking in high roller would make so many dead lobbies. I think they should force people to play more HR
@@cngblade i think forcing them would make a lot of people quit,specially if they get thrown against people 10x their skill and gear.
they should make highroller more appealing,maybe taking out the 100g fee ,or make us get the 100g back if we exit would help a lot of new players
the attention to detail
It looks like I need more training to keep up with the teacher
i see a cng vid, i watch a cng vid.
Really nice video, but try and lower ur microphone volume since the mouth noises can be pretty irritating after a while
Yeah I changed it for most recent videos
best build doesnt mean coolest build, dont listen to this guy use quarterstaff gamers quarterstaff gang rise up
I look for efficiency, not cosmetic that’s why I run the old man 😎
Stand down quarterstaff gang and all rise for the crystal sword
I use book, crystal sword & use a skeleton skin lmao

I'm gonna drop sage and build knowledge rolls on some of the items.
yes that's an option
How come you run invis over haste? Haste gives same ms but also more casting zpeed and action. Invis effect doesnt seem good compared to those ztats
Invis is crazy spells, it's highly skill expressive. It's good to face check room, push rangers, get move speed fast. so much better than haste
Invis w arcane mastery casts way faster too.
gotta show it to sirrodion
He uses that build too, but play it wrong
would swapping the staff mastery for fire mastery be a bad idea? dealing with warlocks without 50% antiheal seems kinda hard
Rogue or Warlock you choose, and you can’t boss either without staff
What do you think about this build but 10 spell, and change overload for frost shield, and use slow for barb. This is what I do, but I think you converted me on the staff perk.
Not bad, but I would be stressed fighting rogue and panther. Because barbarian is an easy match up
