My battle wizzard dreams got shattered

Gameplay Feedback General Feedback

Ok so I made this build and it was looking very promising or at least a lot of fun: Max enchant fire for a little extra damage on your auto attack there, get linker because linker, get Thaumaturge and swell your arms so you get a ton of extra damage (look at the attributes!) and deffense, use Transpose (Lv 3 so always up) to get a lot of Con, get Chronomancer and Quicken (look at the attribute too!).

It was looking perfect and I was going to have a blast …until I equiped a sword with my wizard and instead of doing a melee basic attack she did the same energy bolt auto attack thing…

PLEASE FIX THIS! Let wizards use melee auto attacks, please ;__;
Btw stats build was going to be: dont put anything on Con, put a lot of int and some spr until you get to linker, when you get to linker stop putting int and spr and start putting str and dex, then only str. When you get to Thauma use Transpose and suddenly get a lot of Con because you had a lot of Int. Boom.

I guess you can malee with 2h staff or subweapon only.

#3

That’s the beauty of beta. You never know if your build works or not until you try it in the game. :smiley:

#4

Yes, and attacking with swords and maces NEEDS to be a thing or it will be an impossible build, and that would be very, very sad.

#5

your stat distribution is all over the place, that will overall weaken your character, you should focus on TWO stats only, and dex is far more beneficial than con, because with that evasion you can cast without having to worry about cast interruption, better solo survivability, easier time AoEing, etc

you will also find that without circle 2 tier classes at the beginning, some of your skills will be underpowered

Only issue about dex is that - Magic. Magic doesn’t miss. Con is to help cushion the hits so you’re not just a glass cannon. Con is all the more important in PvP. I’m a paladin and I literally got Telekinesis grabbed in a duel and died from that one spell alone getting tossed around until death.

I think you should press C or secondary attack and it melee attack with wizard

  1. Focus on int and a bit of spr at the start, int will later be converted to con using an skill.
  2. I dont spend a single point on con because of 1
  3. Then I put str and dex once I’m getting near to being able to become a battle wizard, using Tauma skills and a sword.

I’m not a caster
I don’t need dex to evade stuff while casting
I’m melee. Read the post carefully and see the build in the link.

I’m not here to discuss my build, what I’m saying is that despite having the means (being able to combine numerous skills in order to make it work) I still cant do it, because wizards use a int based ranged attack even when using swords, and I want that to be changed.

C - secundary attack - only works with 2h staffs, I want to use a sword and a shield and I can’t use C with those.

#10

If you press Y on your controller instead of X, you do a melee attack as a Wizard.

#11

I play with the keyboard, besides, isnt that the same as “C”? Its the sub weapon atk, and can be used only with staffs, it doesnt work with swords.

#12

I know it’s not relevant to the build that you have, but you might want to consider using a STR build, using a staff, and then going Cryromancer and using the ice-wall’s secondary projectile effect? You’d still be able to melee and you can pick up Thaumaturge later on to gain the Enhance Arms. :whale:

#13

Thanks for the suggestion, but I really really want to do this build.
But my objective with this post is to grab IMC attention so they can change wizzard auto attack so it changes if you use different weapons, having a melee attack for melee weapons and the current ranged attack for rods/staffs.

#14

IMC-Senpai, please notice me! ;__;

#15

Would love for this to be a thing since I posted a Magic Knight build that is pretty similar to the OP, but currently revolves around using the Wizard Blade or Arde Dagger('s) if going dual wield.

Cool! Our builds are really similar!
I do hope they change it, since using wizzard blade wouldnt change anything as the basic attack would still be a bolt and not a sword strike.

Question time: Can any class use a knife as a subweapon and dualwield? If so, I had no idea! Also thanks for telling me about the existence of said items, I’m itching even more to play this build now, please IMC! >__<

#17

As far as I am aware that all classes can use Daggers for instance shown here:

Huge thanks to tehmimichan for finding those items mentioned (Wizard Blade and Arde Dagger), so builds like this could be possible.

#18

Well, I hope IMC reads this and give some kind of answer on the topic >__<

Anyways I just realized that with Weapon Swap (Attribute) then both setups can be used the Wizard Blade + a shield and two Arde Daggers. Now, since Thaumaturge(2) has Swell Right Arm this will give you extra versatility when going up against bosses or other difficult enemies, allow you to opt for either more defense when an attack is about to occur by swapping to Wizard Blade + a shield for more phys / magic defense or the Arde Daggers if you want more phys / magic attack for when going on the offense.

#20

Yes, thats right. All we need is IMC to change things so this works!
