@@SpringHeeLJaK89 their main function is as a molatov to deny melee enemies from forcing me into close quarters. Good melee players will find a piece of cover and just hug/circle it as they heal, forcing you to get into melee range if you want to deny that. An oil lantern or explosive bottle creates a lasting AOE on the ground, forcing them away from the cover and giving you a chance to hit them out in the open. This also works when you know someone is camping a doorway or a corner. It just flushes them out of cover. The secondary utility of it is just the light part of it. It can light up an area from VERY far away, in a situation where you would otherwise have to throw/retrieve torches continuously.

To be honest, after trying it for a few hours, it’s not worth it. I had nearly 60 Knowledge (110% cast speed) here which took every piece being legendary/unique knowledge gear….and it still feels as slow as like base wizard. Unless they reduce the cast time of Sorc spells, or give Sorc a huge cast speed perk, it’s just not worth it.

@@padlock806 originally it was, just yesterday Soapy updated the rules to start that socketing is now allowed

@@SoliditySam exactly. Legendary spellbook turns base damage of lightning bolt, lightning sphere, fire arrows, and Windblast from 10 to 15. Those are the main spells I rely on, so having them hit 50% harder helps a ton.

@@Dexterousv thanks man, and good luck to you too, saw you in the sign-up list! Are you gonna be on the Sorcerer train? I’m leveling a Sorcerer character to have as a backup in case Wizard doesn’t pan out lol.

@ if I do play I’ll probably play sorc, sorc is so good at surviving landmine unlike wizard

I think the only time I had fire mastery equipped was at the very beginning during the key explanation, and it was on because I had been running 10-spell, which included fire spells. Funny enough I was actually using it to help combat Rogue invisibility, not for anti-heal.

@@SqueakyFrank that makes sense haha good video

I can’t even remember how/when I decided where to put each of my spells, but I will never ever move invis from top-left bc when I need it to survive, the tiniest hesitation to look at the spell wheel is the difference between living and dying

@@NuckCorris thank you kind stranger❤️

@@whelve13 I’ve always felt like the marketplace/trading post was a poison to the game, it tastes sweet at first but eventually it kills the magic. Sadly, to compete with others who use it, I have to use it too :/ Definitely plan on more self-found streams/videos!

@SqueakyFrank I have around 100 hours in the game, and i have never reached more than 10k gold in my stash, and whenever I get to sell an expensive item in the trading post I feel really satisfied and happy but after a while it just becomes bland... and boring also... Ironmace should really think of an improvement

Agreed. Much more interested in self found gameplay than “buy to build”

@@Lfmyjaw yeah I got Twitch affiliate just last week! Sucks that the there is a restriction on it like that but from what I understand it’s just so that the main broadcast can be sure that the streamers are trustworthy and of decent quality

@@SqueakyFrank yeah.... Grinded my ass off for youtube subs and still cant participate, very sad :D

@@Lfmyjaw extremely whack

Haha we are kindred spirits. Doing the same freaking thing. Goodluck brother

@@skoo-j4j it can be a very good option if you get the right rolls on it. I only ever wear them if I can get 2 Knowledge, a maximum magic damage roll (2 will or 3 power) and then a 3rd on-roll like vigor, agility, or dex. When I’m building a kit, all that I care about is meeting all of my stat goals for as little gold as possible (usually ends up being about 5-6K). The meta gear pieces are usually super duper expensive, so you have to get thrifty. Would epic Mystic Vestments with 2 Knowledge, 5 max HP, and 2 Vigor be the best? Yeah but that’s also going to be over 3000 gold just for that one piece of gear. I frequently get adventure tunics with the rolls I mentioned above for less that 1000 and they meet nearly the same stat values. For chest pieces, I will usually look at epic and legendary variants of Frocks, Oracle Robes, Mystic Vestments, and Adventure Tunics to see what is available with the rolls I need, and at what prices. The rest of the kit gets built around that.

Is there a gearscore or gold budget that you need to keep to? Also are you playing mostly solos or teams? For solos, if you aren’t going to be playing HR and have a few thousand gold to put into a kit, you probably are going to want to just prioritize movespeed and magic dmg/power. Those two stats, combined with good skill, can allow you to win a significant amount of engagements. For non-solos, I would say swap out movespeed for HP or Cast Speed. Movespeed isn’t quite as crucial for team-play like it is for solos, since in theory you will have a frontline between you and the enemy. If you are playing high-gear, then you can put a bunch of gold into cast speed and HP, and then some into action speed. I personally really like to build cast speed to give me fast reaction times and higher DPS, but it’s technically not a necessity if you have high movespeed since you can just kite more easily.

@SqueakyFrank I usually play hr solos, how much cast speed%, magic power , true mag, Ms, and max HP should I be aiming for?

@ ua-cam.com/video/TUHFh_YXxag/v-deo.htmlsi=9tXX7fylO_ak3Xub Check out my video going over exactly that! It is from last wipe, but pretty much all of the stat targets are gonna be the same. The only one that might change a bit is HP, since it is way more expensive to build as high after the overall -15 HP nerf to all classes. If you do choose to build that high of HP still but have a budget, I would probably sacrifice a little magic power to make up for it. Also worth noting that the Frock was recently changed from having just Dexterity as its base attribute to having Knowledge and Agility, so it is 100% a viable chest piece for Wizards. If you still have questions after that video, either ping me again here, catch me in a Twitch stream (most days I’m on from 8pm-1am PST), or join my discord and I can go in-depth. I will also note that my build preferences are specific to high-gearscore. For solos I would not recommend 10-spell on any gear level less than full-blues (whatever gearscore that works out to be) because you won’t have the cast speed and damage necessary to consistently kill enemies fast enough. Instead I would recommend building movespeed and magic power and leveraging intense focus to do very high burst game while being able to run away long enough to kill a player before they reach you. At high gear you can get away with slower movespeed since you’ll have higher cast speed and power, allowing you to kill an enemy quickly instead of kiting them forever, inevitably into uncleared mobs and 3rd parties.

@@SqueakyFrank Appreciate the thorough response even tho I don't even play this game, much love u are funny as hell.

@dyio1811 yeah I’m talking about direct wizard PvP where you’re having to deal with a threat yourself. Obviously another big part of trios wizard is buffing your teammates, but you will still often find yourself in situations where you yourself are getting W-keyed and need to employ these movespeed manipulators. I utilize them every round of every match in Arena.

@ how many hours do you have on the game just wondering

@ a bit over 2700

@@SqueakyFrankmostly on solo’s richt ?

@ correct, yes most of the time is solos. Probably about 2000 solos and 700 in teams

For squire gear you are going to struggle with putting out enough damage and having enough movespeed/cast speed to react and maneuver as needed, so I suggest an Intense Focus build to help deal more burst damage to neutralize threats before they can hit you. Alternatively you could go Meditate to regen spells frequently, but your opportunities to do that aren’t always plentiful unless you really know how to read an enemy. For perks, since your spells aren’t going to hit very hard, you are probably going to want spell overload (unless you are running meditate) so you have more ammo to work with before having to reset. Arcane Mastery will greatly help with the speed of invisibility (and missiles if you choose to run them) at low gear, and then outside of those you probably will want Quick Chant and Ice Shield. For spells I would suggest Fireball, Ice Bolt, Invis, Haste, and then either Explosion or Zap in the last spot. A lot of people will say running Haste in 5-spell is a waste but I assure you it is not, especially since you have Overload. Haste will help you regain some of your lost cast speed, as well as buffing your movespeed and action speed which will be lacking at low gear. As far as Squire gear goes, if you’re running Intense Focus you will be largely banking on that skill to make up for your very low cast speed. I would suggest primarily building magic power and movespeed, because with those 2 things you can theoretically handle the most situations. Without decent HP you will greatly struggle against bows/crossbows, but in squire gear you can’t expect to have it all. My gear choices would probably be Mystic Vestments, Loose Trousers, Leather Gloves, Wizard Hat, and then Stitched Turnshoes (they have Will which give Magic Power) or Laced Turnshoes (movespeed and agility). Use a book to primarily cast with, and crystal sword for melee (unless you run Ignite, then use ball/dagger). I can probably make a video for this, but that info should hold you over for now!

Would love a video on squire gear! ​@@SqueakyFrank

I'd also love a squire gear vid! Thanks for sharing the above info with us, it's great stuff 👍

SSF squire to high roller prog would be awesome, along with explaining each phase of choices (perks, spells, stat choices)

@ I actually was recording some SSF runs a few days ago, trying to get a good one for a video. All of them ended with premature deaths though (hide Rogues and Iron Will Barbarians have HR solos in a chokehold rn), so I pivoted to Sorcerer in preparation for SrslySoapy’s SSF tournament next weekend. I’m not 100% on which of the 2 classes I’m gonna run, but low-gear Sorcerer is a bit more forgiving than low-gear Wizard, so I have to balance that out with my accrued knowledge and experience on Wizard. SSF Wizard vid will be coming soon though, complete with perk, spell, and gear explanations!
