Wizards Circle 1-2 need a buff

Class and Rank
#1

Just look at the damage an archer do, with or without skills, whatever, the wizard lose…
wizard - Energy bolt ? uh … so weak, long casting, and have 3 charges.
archer - Oblique shot, hits 2 target super strongly like, no cooldown … infinite casting Yay ! … -.-{balance?}
wizard - Earthquake … Boooooooommmm … BUT … no charge, 15s CD, weak, almost useless on bosses , AoE miss when it’s laggy, really annoying knock up effect.
archer - Multishot - can OS early bosses

I know that Wiz C3 is awesome with Elementalist or else…
Don’t forget i’m talking about the Wizard at the Circle 1 and 2. Once you get Elem or else , the damage looks already better, and so, correct …

Thing is. If you compare Ranger to Elementalist then Ranger deals more damage on less CD.

Personally I also think that there is something completely wrong. At least Energy Bolt deserves to be a 0 CD Skill. Maybe even a real % scaling. I think this skill is supposed to be the Wizards Signature Skill but for it to deal damage you need a sleep setup which of course does not work against bosses.
On Earthquake one could remove the big cc, give it stun and then overheat then there would also be synergy with Linker.

Archers were the weakest class in cbt now they got overly buffed, still wiz c1 is completely fine in comparison to swordsman or cleric, maybe wiz c2 need a little buff like changing magic missile from c3 to c2, and archers a little nerf

going from wizard 2 to wizard 3 is a terrible experience :weary::weary: , Energy bolt is fine i guess ( 9 cooldown , 3 overheat , a small aoe skill and has knockback ) , Earth quake is just … bad , just give it more hits and remove that silly knock up :ok_hand:

i heard EB acusually has 150% magic damage , dont know if it true :confused:

#6

Agree , that knock up is silly
And 2 charge of earthquake would be already better …

Energy bolt is doing almost as much damage as your normal attack … but you are losing precious time charging it… The only advantage is that it’s a tiny AoE.

a big job balancing is coming to ktos soon , let hope that they will give wizard same love :sob:

actually more than the energy bolt cd what annoys me is the cast time (always got ks while i charged), even with quick cast I still have cast time on it. definitely wiz1-2 needs a buff
magic missile is really cool so having wiz 3 gets better but those first 2 ranks are hard to get through

KS is a huge problem for Wiz C1-C2

Another method, compared to Archer could be to remove EB cast time and CD but give Earth Quake cast time. Wizard needs a Spell to be cast as it fits the image. But Archer has morge damage, less CD and more sustain because of Evasion and Range. This is not fair at all. Also Wizards can not crit.
As I think EB is kind of the Signature Spell of the Wizard Class it has to be buffed and needs some scaling.

Ideas

  • Make EB kind of a small Magic Missile and compare it to Oblique Shot. Remove CD and Cast, increase SP Cost and make it split to three targets with half damage. The main selling point of Wizard should be AoE anyways.
  • If it has to be single target (small AoE like now) then remove CD and Cast, increase SP cost and make its damage scale from 150%-300% Magical Attack.
  • If it has to be single target (small AoE like now) then remove CD and Cast, increase SP cost and make it 1 hit until level 9. 2 hits from 10-14 and 3 hits on 15. And some small bonus damage.

Oblique Shot by default has about 180% damage (because of split) is faster and can crit.
