Wizard Donator

[Xebnok]

So after talking to people about Wizards and the Wizard donator I would like to get some discussion going on the current state of the Wizard Donator and of wizards in general.

Anyone currently have a Wizard and can provide some good feedback on this subject?

Some suggestions for the donator where to make the clicky group mana heal 5000 (or so) to bring in line with other classes mana heal spells.

A question/comment that was brought up for the current mana heal was that it seems underpowered and not that useful in its current state.


Perhaps change the clicky to:

Extremely good mana regen buff (self).
Increased Damage/crits/Mana reduction buff (self).


Its my understanding that Wizards due to there casting will most likely be good on boss fights and dont have a whole lot to offer during clearing/trash killing.

I think this is ok but they should be able to unleash hell every so often to contribute a large amount of dps on boss fights.

Anyway, just some thoughts, looking forward to discussing this.

Current effect is viewable here.

So you can give your entire party 2k mana all 3 mins (recast delay). Quite powerful imo but im all ears as always.

Forgot - more mana/click is not an option really.

What we can do is add improved crit chance buff for some duration. (Striat confirmed that this is working). Like Intensify of the Resolute.

Yeah, the issues with the current effect are just at a first glance, really hoping to hear from a wizard or someone with the donator to give some input.

I've seen our wizard, Loly, one-shot mobs in SSRA with frightening frequency. Needless to say, they can contribute to damage on trash mobs just fine IMO. Also, there are shield(s? I know of one for certain) that give free DD clickies that do good damage for wizards too. Also, you can orb for mana every 5 minutes, so dumping mana on trash mobs is OK.

okay cool.


What is your take on the 2k group mana click?


Does this really help out or could it be changed to something like a 5k mana heal but for self only?

Taking the core responsibility of the class into consideration I say go for spell crits. Mana buffing is for enchanters!

I would say give them a fast casting high dmg nuke with a 5-10min reuse, if it's even changed at all. Loly already crits an insane amount, so that doesn't really seem necessary or legitimatized. I agree that mana healing is more for enchanters also, although I thought a 2k group mana replenishment every 3min was quite nice.

Regarding wizard's upgrade, i do not request anything more, tired to argue that wizards are not overpowered:)

What I can say to you is :
Make a bard alt for +DD song
Get ssrae shield clicky DD (or better ST range) to click between 2 Ether.
get 1.5 as 1.5 effect is a must have (huge "Ether" mana cost decrease).

By the way, once mana is not a problem anymore (need to get Orb upgrade ToV chains or PoF shoes) you will enjoy to click on 2 buttons. 1 ether / 1 clicky. and critic amounts are nice i have to say (32K with bard song and my actual gear for a Ether).

More dmg comes with new zones focii, we could use more +% DD critic - that's what we try to do on 2.0 but I still do not think it is working.

PS: regarding donator weapon, considering it can be obtained at level 1, 2K mana is a huge plus, before you reach 70 and ToV completed.
