Also don't forget that if someone is behind a corner you can put explosion on the ground and charge up a fireball to peek it so they either take massive damage or move away from corner
Have been sick as hell with COVID. Been chilling today and playing wizard. What a well timed video. It's like you did it just for me considering I've been binge watching your videos while sick haha
Great video brother 🔥 Explosion is scary af to play against as a Warlock thats for sure. Hate to be that guy (☝🤓) but @ 3:33 your Book DMG is also affected by scaling too, so that first bracket should actually be (25 + 7 * 0.75) = 30.25 but everything else is good 🙏
I didn't realize that true damage was affected by the scaling of the spell until now due to so many people saying different things. Even after 1.5k hours, I'm still getting more knowledge. Also, we love jar videos.❤❤❤
I thought of a few techs to reduce explosion effectiveness. These are based on the delay before the damage giving the target time to increase either MDR or max HP to mitigate the effect. Shield fighter can raise the shield to give magic resist right before the explosion damage happens. Druids could go bear-form right before the explosion happens and turn back right after. The higher max hp on bear would mean the explosion basically deals less damage. I have not thought if any other classes could do something like this. I think drinking a mag shield potion just takes too long to be viable.
Ngl, all this tech about zoning makes me wanna see a new wizard spell that's essentially a damage field. Something like magma bomb to create a small field of fire, or thunderstorm that periodically strikes weak bursts of lightning in random points of an AoE
Great video! I discovered the potential of explosion with my 10 spell arena setup and it quickly became my main damage dealer there. However, in solos I feel like I cannot go without icebolt with ice mastery because of barbarians. It's the only spell that consistently helped me deal with them. So for now I feel like I have to leave it out from my solo HR builds, unfortunately, because it's super fun
At this point I will listen to anything you say. Your video trashing move speed on wiz made me 2x the wizard I was prior to watching the vid. My HP/True Mag/Will arena kit has gotten me to top 250 for Wizards and I didn't even play arena the first couple months it was out. I've been running 5 spells for the last month. Fireball, explode, ice bolts, missiles and invis. The one perk I refuse to remove is the ice bolt freeze. My spacing is pretty damn good but this perk saves my life at least once every couple of games. Thanks for the informative vids you and Ken are the goats of wizard.
Thank you so much for your content and ur determination to play wizard. I watched ur last solo stream on na, copied build with arcane shield, went in and killed a fighter with demons glee and mana sphere 10K + kit, while having less then 1.5k kit. He was so shocked he simply asked, "how you did not die? most wizards die in 3 hits". I bet most wizards dont watch your content, thats why they die :P
I've run explosion since the first arena where I figured it worked well. I also run fire mastery. FB, Expl, MM, Invis and either lightning strike or ice bolt. Perks are sage, quick chant, arcane and fire mastery.
Good video, you are a great player. I think classes like ranger, warlock or wizard have all the resourcess to overplay their oponents, and the fact that they usually play at being chased puts them in a better position in the pvp
is the 7 dammage you count into the burn dammage is the spell book or the true magical because i dont know if true magical aplie to burn or how burn dammage work in term of scaling on your stats
Will you please stream and make videos on path of exile 2? You're good at theory crafting and PoE2 is full of theory crafting. Will be a historic game.
Hey in the video you showed a formula that calculated the true damage but doesn’t true damage come at the very last of the calculation ? It’s “True damage” so isn’t it weird for you to calculate the scaling of true damage ?
fireball + explosion is the most broken spell compilation since its impossible to dodge against it, the guy on the other end doesnt have any clue if theyre meant to be dodging a hitscan or a projectile which basically makes dodging the spells a gamble and extremely hard to counterplay
I see that in solo you’re running Explosion, Zap, MM, FB, and Invis. With that set-up, how do you survive a Barb rushing at you. I always need Icebolt for rushing melee.
Nooooooon pourquoi tu parles de ça ? Faut garder ces techniques secrètes ou ces maudits Warlock vont nous voir venir maintenant mdr Explo c'est trop bon, sauf quand il faut s'assoir pour les récupérer.
I hadn't considered alternating fireball and explosion before, thanks for the tip

11:30 I never thought I would ever get roasted by the goat wizard 😭

thank you zclaw
A guide for every spell optimizer depending on the situation would be crazy it has never been done

Definitely a thing they can do to mitigate dmg, I like using prot potion

Time to share some of that money 😄
excellent explanation well made video keep making more!!!!!
Yes sir !
i didn't realize hit scan spell don't have limb multiplier! thanks i learned a lot from this.
3:30 well well well a mage player in heart
whats up my man!!! Glad to have you back buddy

I think it’s because they are more punishable as mistakes are usually deadly so you gotta do more to improve but tjankw
is the 7 dammage you count into the burn dammage is the spell book or the true magical because i dont know if true magical aplie to burn or how burn dammage work in term of scaling on your stats
True damage is applied at the end of everything and does not take into account the weapon you’re using. Yes true is added to burn with 0.5 scaling
explosion is literally a sticky grenade from cod all u have todo is drop 2 of em and fireball someone they die
11:30 How dare you, sir?! I am... honestly saddened by the accuracy of this statement. I'm going back to Warlock... 😂
very good video!
Thank you !

Hey in the video you showed a formula that calculated the true damage but doesn’t true damage come at the very last of the calculation ? It’s “True damage” so isn’t it weird for you to calculate the scaling of true damage ?
True damage is influenced by scaling too, the true part meant true ignore magic resist
@@cngblade does add magic apply to hitscan spells, but just at 100% because no limb modifiers?
I assume the fire perk would work for wizard, big fan of that, the extra damage and healing reduction is always relevant when engaged in pvp
fireball + explosion is the most broken spell compilation since its impossible to dodge against it, the guy on the other end doesnt have any clue if theyre meant to be dodging a hitscan or a projectile which basically makes dodging the spells a gamble and extremely hard to counterplay
Hey Mr Blade, think running explosion over icebolt is a good call for squire runs?
Because its a hit scan nuclear bomb that has value even when it misses.
I've been running explosion instead of zap since it's scaling got nerfed. It is by far the mosz consistent spell wiz has since it is hitscan.
I see that in solo you’re running Explosion, Zap, MM, FB, and Invis. With that set-up, how do you survive a Barb rushing at you. I always need Icebolt for rushing melee.
Didnt learn anything new, but love the vid so much. I definitely slept on explosion until a while ago, but arena the past two weeks it feels op
Please make new wipe guide or something i am here struggling idk why. Is Coif better than leather cap rn ?
Run it w insta cast and you can burst 2 explosions and a fireball all at the same time
I thought true damage didn't get increased / decreased by ratio?
super fair btw
ur goated
I would like a bonk wizard build video
i want to see solo lich HR 🗣🔥
Any good wizard uses explosion ever since chain got nerfed twice lol.
lots of dömege
Explosion est life
I was really wandering were is your accent from cause there is some french sound and german. Are u from switzerland Austria or romanian ?
Hello, I am 100% Chinese but born in France
not even hidding a zap that does 25 damage is just free damage and in trios it cause hit all 3 people
Idk how hidden it is it's literally hitscan impossible to miss and does half a health bar and you can stack them on the same target
if you hit them in the face you will also blind them
Explosion is just a zap with fireball damage almost
Lazy people? You mean Barbarian infiltrators? :)
Explosions gonna get nerfed now😢
It should definitely be harder to stick someone.
vas ort flam :D

It’s not hidden….
