This is a great video. Thanks for making HIGH tier content with both the information and examples. Instead of most videos I see being very vague and open ended. "Yea so you want these stats you want, (lists the stat names with no numbers) and these are the gear pieces I went with." It's impossible to have an idea what to shoot for when CC's are so broad with their 'guides.' I appreciate that you gave clear and concise information with goal numbers to hit, instead of just saying you want a lot of x, y, and z stat.

@@rob3831 For Trios, assuming you have a frontline tank to protect you, movespeed for escaping won’t be as big of a necessity, and you also probably won’t be using magic missiles very often, so building your Magic Power Bonus will be very effective. For perks for Trios, I would suggest Sage (increased knowledge), Fire Mastery (helps reduce the effectiveness of Magical Healing from enemy Clerics), Quick Chant (faster cast speed), and then Mana Surge (higher Magic Power Bonus). Your perk options are a little more wide open in Trios because you have your teammates to protect you. For Trios you are definitely gonna want 10-spell. You’ll want Haste, Ignite, and Invis for buffing yourself and your teammates. Chain Lightning is an obvious pick because it can damage the whole enemy team at once. Lightning Strike is a strong damage spell that you can cast on the enemy, past your teammates, so you don’t risk friendly fire as much as with projectile spells. On the other hand, projectile spells allow you to be at a safe distance from the enemies as you throw the spells. It all depends on your playstyle and how you coordinate attacks with your team. Every spell has its use-case, but the only spell I probably wouldn’t go for in Trios is Explosion because sticking a bomb to the enemy doesn’t let your melee teammates be close to them.

@SqueakyFrank19 сағат бұрын
@@Sl33pySage I tried to make 10-spell work earlier this wipe but ever since movespeed penalties were decreased on all armor and clothes, it’s become exceedingly hard to keep distance. Decent players will just take cover behind a pillar or wall and force you to come close to try to get a spell off on them, and then they run you down and you can rarely escape. High-movespeed Barbarians have been getting particularly good at this. By far, the most successful solo Wizard setup I’ve found this wipe has been Intense Focus 5-spell with Spell Overload. Being able to instantly smack someone across the face with a fireball when they try that “hide behind cover and then sprint out” tactic is highly effective. I plan to discuss my current spells and perks in the future video where I build and use a kit, but for now I am running Sage, Arcane Mastery, Quick Chant, and Spell Overload and then for spells it’s Fireball , Invis, Zap, MM, and then a Free Space that I swap out here and there. I was running Slow for a while, but it’s gotten more difficult to consistently land it on the fly since everyone is moving so fast, so I have opted for Lightning Strike instead since it works well for splashing around corners, ignores shields, and has a slowing effect. If your aim is cracked af and you’re confident in being able to always land your Slow, it can definitely be worth running but personally, relying on it instead of a damage spell or invis-juking has gotten me killed more times than it has saved me this wipe.

@SqueakyFrank6 күн бұрын
So as far as the Merchants go, you have to complete their quests to begin to unlock higher rarity gear to purchase from them. Quests come out in batches once a week, to prevent no-lifers from doing them all day 1 and having access to the best gear while players with less time wouldn’t be able to. It also gives us something to look forward to each week. For the most part, completing 1 full set of quests (usually 3 quests in a set) for a merchant will unlock the next rarity worth of items to buy. The merchants that you are going to be using the most are Alchemist (spellbook, Magic staff), Tailor (robes, some pants), and Leathersmith (some pants, boots). Prioritize their quests first will give you the best value for your time. The main things you miss out on as a F2P player is High Roller and the Marketplace. High Roller has consistently better loot than Normals does, and is where the most geared players play, so it has the highest level PvP. High Roller also has the AP system, which functions most similarly to a battlepass, so you have the ability to unlock exclusive cosmetics and get some starter loot (meds and gold and a gold coin bag) to give you a head start in the next wipe. The other big thing F2P doesn’t have access to is the marketplace. The marketplace allows you to quickly a la carte assemble a kit to your liking, and also allows you to passively earn gold since you can post items on the marketplace and other players can buy them while you’re offline or in a dungeon. The main effect of the marketplace on the game is that is caused most HR players to always have a well-tailored full meta kit on. Once you begin to take PvP in the game seriously, access to the marketplace is critical of your don’t want to be at a disadvantage against others. I personally think the marketplace is unhealthy for the game, but if it’s available to other players, you have to use it to not get constantly meta-slapped.

@SqueakyFrank8 күн бұрын
One secret that most wizards don't know is that your spells don't shoot immediately when you release your mouse button. The spell shoots at the end of the hand animation, so you have to aim your cursor up until it actually leaves your hand. Increasing your action speed (usually through dexterity) makes this animation faster, which makes it easier to aim, and significantly increases your odds in a jiggle-peek battle.

High quality guide with great explanations. Just wondering if spell overload is better than 10 spells? I’ve only recently started and I’ve found spell overload easier to manage and allows me to spam more often in pvp. Looking forward to more wizard vids!
@SqueakyFrank11 күн бұрын
Both are technically viable. For beginners, spell overload probably would be best because you only have to juggle half as many different spells, and you will be fine in most situations with Fireball, Zap, Invisibility, Magic Missile, and Haste or Slow. I’ve been liking 10-spell for PvP the most lately because it gives you the opportunity to deal with nearly every situation. Landmine Rogue? Light orb in suspicious areas. Sprinting Fighters and Rage Barbarians? Slow stops them in their tracks. Survival Bow Ranger? Haste allows you to keep up with them in jiggle peek battles. A player is really skilled with their shield? Lightning Strike. A player is running away from you through some mobs? Chain Lightning the mob. If you die with 10-spell, there is almost ALWAYS a way you could have played it that resulted in you not dying. With 5-spell, you might not have a necessary spell for every situation and more deaths will be unavoidable, and more enemies will escape you. To put it simply, 10-spell has a higher skill ceiling potential, and I play Wizard for the high skill ceiling to start with, so it makes the most sense to go all in. If you watch my other videos you’ll notice that I run Spell Overload sometimes, but that is only when I am grinding mob-kill AP or there was a gearscore limit and I needed to repeatedly use Magic Missile to clear mobs. For just PvP, 10-spell is ultimately the best.

@SqueakyFrank13 күн бұрын
Solo wizard is “good” in PvP once you have decent gear, mainly due to slow cast speeds without Knowledge gear. You can somewhat make up for it with the Intense Focus skill, but since it takes several spells to kill a player it only gets you so far. However, once you do get some decent gear and develop your skills, you unlock the ability to diff just about any player you come across. Solo wizard is definitely a “road less traveled” because of the investment it takes to master it, but once you do, you become an unstoppable force that will cause every player you kill to exclaim “what am I supposed to do???”

Once you get it down, dealing with PvE becomes just an obstacle instead of the main challenge!
I have about the same time ingame as a wiz as you and this video is amazing for the new people
Thank you!
This is amazing work! Thank you!!
Your welcome! It’s something I sure wish I had when I started!
I cant figure out why my map ingame never shows the closing circle
The majority of this was filmed last wipe, when the closing circle existed. This wipe the closing circle was removed.

Unironically, step 1 is “get naked.”
The beginning of any great plan
the effort you put into this is mind blowing thank you Mr. Squeaky Frank i play barbarian but i still learned a lot you deserve every like in the world
thank you brother!
High quality guide with great explanations. Just wondering if spell overload is better than 10 spells? I’ve only recently started and I’ve found spell overload easier to manage and allows me to spam more often in pvp. Looking forward to more wizard vids!
Both are technically viable. For beginners, spell overload probably would be best because you only have to juggle half as many different spells, and you will be fine in most situations with Fireball, Zap, Invisibility, Magic Missile, and Haste or Slow. I’ve been liking 10-spell for PvP the most lately because it gives you the opportunity to deal with nearly every situation. Landmine Rogue? Light orb in suspicious areas. Sprinting Fighters and Rage Barbarians? Slow stops them in their tracks. Survival Bow Ranger? Haste allows you to keep up with them in jiggle peek battles. A player is really skilled with their shield? Lightning Strike. A player is running away from you through some mobs? Chain Lightning the mob. If you die with 10-spell, there is almost ALWAYS a way you could have played it that resulted in you not dying. With 5-spell, you might not have a necessary spell for every situation and more deaths will be unavoidable, and more enemies will escape you. To put it simply, 10-spell has a higher skill ceiling potential, and I play Wizard for the high skill ceiling to start with, so it makes the most sense to go all in. If you watch my other videos you’ll notice that I run Spell Overload sometimes, but that is only when I am grinding mob-kill AP or there was a gearscore limit and I needed to repeatedly use Magic Missile to clear mobs. For just PvP, 10-spell is ultimately the best.
I rarely comment but this video is insane for how many subs you have, definitely trying it out after this video. keep it up brother
Thank you Mr. Cheese!
dude, you are an absolute champion for putting this together. i dont even play wizard but alot of these tips are helpful for other classes too!
Much appreciated!
this is amazing have not seen a guide like this for any game in years 100/10
This is just the first step! Kit building guide, and eventually beginner PvP guides are in the future!
hopefully you have a kit guide f2p for lv 15 above when you have more passives to work on, hoping they add more spells and options in the future doe
A kit guide is up next!
In the meta how good is it to main solo wizard rn? F2P here
Solo wizard is “good” in PvP once you have decent gear, mainly due to slow cast speeds without Knowledge gear. You can somewhat make up for it with the Intense Focus skill, but since it takes several spells to kill a player it only gets you so far. However, once you do get some decent gear and develop your skills, you unlock the ability to diff just about any player you come across. Solo wizard is definitely a “road less traveled” because of the investment it takes to master it, but once you do, you become an unstoppable force that will cause every player you kill to exclaim “what am I supposed to do???”
@@SqueakyFrank that's awesome and def how it should be as wizard imho. Thanks for the video and tips! Cheers!
How to clear module 2: leave that module immediately
It's definitely a more annoying module to clear, especially the bottom part!
Yall remember when one longbow or crossbow shot would one shot you as a wizard ?
so many painful runs on Ruins against rangers
Is the skeleton Spearman in module 10 guarding a royal coffin? I must have forgotten about that one and need to hit that up more often!
Yes it is! The royal coffin doesn’t always spawn there though. It has a chance to spawn in a few different corners of that pit, and occasionally it doesn’t spawn at all.
YO SQUEAKY DROPPED and I gotta try these binds
Lmao I don’t recommend my skill binds (mouse side buttons). It’s just what I got used to from the start but makes it a bit janky to select spells and aim quickly sometimes.
Does the action speed increase the rate of speed that spells travel? Like ice bolt, fireball etc
No, sadly each projectile spell has a set speed and there are no stats that increase or decrease them.
Really nice breakdowns man, I'm loving the content and hope you blow up soon
Glad you enjoy them! Many video plans for next wipe already!
I have since acquired ANOTHER Echo of Screams and will be giving that one away as well, along with any other artifacts I collect today (separate drawing for each artifact, not winner-takes-all). Players seem to have their Sunday Best on since wipe is so soon, so I could have enough to give to everyone in the discord by the end of the day lmao.
Top quality video! love the explanations. I scrolled down not expecting to see 70 subscribers. I can't wait until the algorithm hits. Keep it up!
Just getting started with plenty more to come!
I wish I found this earlier :(
Please be my duos partner xD Wiping solo lobbies is getting boring when I've got nobody to celebrate with :P
Solid plays, definitely inspires me to try and level a Wizard next wipe
Once it clicks and you get that first outplay kill, there is no going back to anything else. Welcome brother.
