Rasko, did you read what I posted? I basically gave you the strategy of the best wizard I've seen. When all of your spells are nerfed by one card you have to branch outward. Buffing your storm gust does nothing. Maybe you would be a little bit more annoying in WoE/GvG or gang situations but in a 1v1 you'll lose by just dumping all your stats in int and spell damage. We're on a server where 195 attack speed is easily accessible and ifrit rings are abound. Make use of what you have and you'll be surprised at just how powerful a lot of the "under-powered" classes can be if used in an unconventional way.
If a wizard challenges me to a duel I'm most likely going to slap on GTB and start making him regret his class decision. If, by off chance he has thana I just use skolls as well. If I'm FCP'd (and trust me, I am 90% of the time) there is nothing this guy could do, unless he is able to think on the spot, switch items around and start throwing an asura build at me. Now with GTB and possible skolls on I'm very likely to die from an asura, even with approximately 170-200 str base on the wizard.
You don't need more spell damage. If you want to nuke people throw on full int, matk gear, and get an alt account to mind break you. You can have 999k Matk and I'll still nerf your magic attacks entirely with one card.
