Hello everyone, After discussing the recent gunslinger change and comparing the wizard class to other classes I basically comfirmed that the Wizard class has a lot of downsides compared to other classes. To name a few in random order: 1: High wizards have the lowest HP of all classes on the server. with about 130 vit, skolls, 1 tao, friggs and cape, agi bless and +10 all stat food my high wizard reaches 155k hp. Getting the same gears/vit on any other class would get at least 210-220k+ hp. 2: In order to get anywhere near decent damage with High wizards you'll have to use custom hats (none fking set) such as Magic eyes hat. This hat has very nice effects for wizards, however it's only 1 slot and has no immunity to freeze. Yet Wizard's skills need 3 kiels to be able to spam. This leaves wizards(As only class in-game) vurnerable to freeze AND stone on their main gear-set. And that's not all, using this hat means you have to use a huge amount of agi to get max aspd. Many of the wizard's skill depends on attack speed aside from cooldown reduction. In short : Wizard is forced to use custom hats (Loli/Magic eyes, Kafra headband, Piamette), leaves them vurnerable to stone and freeze , forces them to use a ton of agility to get max aspd. 3: As everyone knows wizard's main abilities are completely blocked by GTB. Wizards have to use stave crasher vs them. However, unlike many other classes wizards do not get a +100 or +80 hit bonus on their cape. Forcing them to use a phreeoni card and wasting another weapon card slot. 4: Let's take a look at the current blessed ring for high wizard. High Wizard Blessed Ring: Walking speed +15% Reduce Damage taken from Demihumans by 5% Reduce Vit def by 10% HP +10% SP +10% Matk +20% Int +35 Increase Damage with Cold Bolt by 15% Some pretty neat bonusses right? I agree. However one thing I don't get. Why do we get a bonus on cold bolt? Cold bolt is a skill that's not used by any good wizard as water is one of the elements most used on the server. People will have reductions for it. Aside from that cold bolt spam on a high wizard is really slow, and again I'm missing the hit that wizards actually need for stave crasher. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Now that we've summerized the biggest issues with the wizard class we can start with possible suggestions. I personally have thought of the following with priority on suggestion 1 and 2: 1: Wizard's main issue is their HP atm. I'd like to see an increase on the tao gunka card for wizard classes so they can at least get 200k hp like other classes. Without it only 1-2 reflect hits would kill a wizard. (My prof easily reaches 280k+ hp..) 2: For the second major issue I have thought of the following. Kafraband, Loli hat, Magic eyes, Piamette ears should give immunity to freeze. This will bring the magic classes on par with the melee ones. As for people claiming this would be OP. Physical damage dealers already have this with the ship captain hat, why wouldn't magic classes be able to have it too. Keep in mind the magic classes will still be vurnerable to stone curse (when they try to strip you or stave crash you) and that most of these hat's effects are already disabled for professor. So wizards will be getting the biggest boost from this. I'd also like to suggest a small aspd boost on wiz highness. My wizard currently needs about 140 base agi (this is about 200agi in total) to get 195 aspd with the custom hat. This is a major downside of the wizard class atm. Many donation weapons give 5 to 10 aspd on this server. adding +5 aspd to the weapon should be fine. 3&4: I'd love to see a +80 hit on the cape and a +100 hit on the rings. With that the cursed ring would be perfect. The blessed ring I'd also recommend changing the cold bolt to earth spike damage instead but that's a minor suggestion. Not as big and neccesary as suggestion 1 and 2. Let me know what you think, I'd gladly discuss and elaborate when needed :). Also, consider each suggestion individually. Thank you, Shadi Edit: Editted numbers after testing and confirming.
