Wizard can’t use melee attack?
I was thinking about it after the server shut and have not had a chance to check…
I think you can by pressing ‘C’ (secondary attack). It’s how you’re supposed to push your fireball.
Not sure though since I didn’t test it.
And congratulations! You just made the first troll build =3
Never found a related video…it is difficult.
Troll build? Not exactly, but…okay.
Don’t take it to heart, I’m saying troll build because it seems not optimal (like building an AD soraka in LoL) since you can buff another class with pretty much everything you get in the build and they will be far more efficient than yourself because they will have their class skills and passives too.
But the build looks fun and you may surprise a lot of people.
afaik wizard auto attack is always a magic projectile, even when using a sword/mace?
They were given a melee attack more recently but it only works if you have a 2h staff equipped.
(and 2h staff don’t have any str bonus that I know of so it’d be difficult.)
I believe they always do ranged attacks, but damn, does that Pyro look sexy with a sword -
As for the build, I think you should go Fire Ball even if you plan on going melee. From what I read Flare is not good. I am not sold on Thaumaturge for anything atm. I think they need a revamp/rework bad.

Only malee attack is by equip 2h Staff. Other thing else not work.
Btw there’s one Staff lv120 that have option to +181 phy atk… but I doubt if it will worth to whack thing around instead of using magic skill.
I recently figured out that all classes, including Wizards, can equip daggers as a sub-weapon, so I guess it might be possible?

I would go for Linker instead of Pyro 2 and Chrono instead of Thauma.
If I ever feel to leveling up another Wiz after my main, I guess I will make a battle mage too, lol.
And congratulations to you too! You’ve butchered the definition of ‘troll’.
I’m pretty sure they’ll let wizards attack with swords later on. I mean, it works towards build variety, so they’d have no reason not to implement it (since it’d never be overpowered).
@Satoru
Linker>Chrono is viable in group…but, solo…
@Kiyoshiro
I no have idea of the sub-weapon system, but I think it is just to high level.
Oh right I forgot sub weapon.
Yes it’s work but 1 hand weapon main attack will still shoot out missile while sub weapon will do malee attack.
I would be a nice skillset to have some kind of melee caster.
Not only a wizard, but any class for any element.
Imagine casting melee based ice skills while slicing with a sword.
Or conjuring lightning on the axe and burning all enemies, would be awesome.
I’d really like for any magic class to be able to melee attack with any melee weapon. Being a dagger-wielding Wizard would be fun.
Wiz can use melee attacks when using the c button (only if your wearing a staff). Other than that, no.
there is a skill build in tosbase called “blademancer”, you should check it. Its more of a supportive type of wizard using the thaumaturge as its core.
hey Ad Soraka is legit
Necrothreading too lol
