Wizard/High Wizard Build Advice

[Namine]

On the contrary, Namin? thinks that soul strike is one of the worse drag on the world that people get because Safety Wall said so >>; When the dex damage is so high already, a low level bolt will far suffice as "spam spell" instead of soul strike. Soul strike's ghost element is usually not that helpful, and if they must insist on the evil druid armor to try to bypass stone curse and freeze, then they get the full hit from Storm Gust which is no little damage at all. Really against storm gust, people will die one way or another. Namin? always thought that the only real way to counter storm gust is to either prevent its casting or not get hit by it at all... evil druid alone does neither.

Forget magic crasher... if the monster is immune to spells to begin with (GTB, or holy/shadow 4) then the monster is not meant for wizards to begin with. Really don't try to do everything... in those cases, switch from heavy artillery to supportive role. Help priests with safety wall, or battle the slaves instead or something... Namin? finds it pointless for any character to think that they have to do everything.

Now this following point may be crazy... but some people say that if dex is high enough, Frost Diver is really unnecessary because SG1 will probably do the same thing. It freezes just fine, and the only drawback is speed... with firewall or simply precast before the monster is already there, SG1 can be used to replace frost diver... therefore, allowing the wizard to conserve skill points there, and put them elsewhere. In PvP or WoE situations, wizards are always precasting anyway... if there is a breakthrough, there are far better spells than frost diver such as fire pillar (totally underestimated WoE spell), firewall or just SG1 again... Namin? personally agrees to this statement regardless of how the entire server including her own guild wants to stone her to death for 'blasphemy against frost diver.'
