THe Wood WIzz

Well I decided to make a farming wizzie for glitching and farming gold and mats and since wood is the least picked element and the scrolls are extremely cheap I decided what the heck.  But mainly I choose Wood because of my hatred for vine bind.  I duno why but getting vinebinded in the tower has been the death of over 50 horses by now and now its my turn to take my revenge hahahaahh.  Surprisingly this turned out to be an insanely good pvm cter which was what I was aiming for and I'm loving it.

How is the class/element in pvp?
Which how would the minors affect the playing of this class/element?
How is a class/element  in pve?
What are the pros/cons of a class/element?

Spells -

Vine bind - Wraps enemey and and traps them for 5 seconds....
Venemous Shock - A spamable spell that does good dmge and inflicts psn dmge.
Bramble prison - An Aeo spell that does great dmge and slows -50% at lvl 1 for 6 secs
Venemous Flower - Your highest dealing spell that curses them basically giving you life leech.
Tranquil Forst - Aura that increases your hp recovery, +attck, attck speed and more (yet I have no clue what more is but thats what it says)

Vind Bind - Once most hated now one of my fav spells for keeping mobs at a distance for easy killing/kiteing.  This spell will save your life more than once trust me lol.

Venemous Shock - at first i was ok lame..but after getting it to lvl 4 the psn dmge its freakin aswome doing about 600 dmge over 15 secs with your stall spells or even glitching this helps so much killing faster also does great dmge.

Bramble Prison - My fav Aeo Control spell...  Hitting them with this after vinebind basically makes you untouchable.  Cast vinebind then ven shock followed by this and by the time they get near you , you can run back a bit and vinebind again.  Also this is great for catching mobs when glitching from running away.  Great crowd control spell.

Ven Flower - THis spell is like having a mini priest with your party at all time.  Has become a staple when partying with other people as you gain 90 life a hit right now at lvl 2.  Even solo this spell does the most dmge and keep you alive combined with vine bind and bramble and tranquil forest reging you life super fast I rarely have to blood pot.  Great for saving money and staying in the fight with thoe hard boss's.

Tranquil Forest - This is at lvl 4 now giving 350% hp recovery combined with some rep gear for even more and then add in ven flower and u never haft to pot.  Pretty freaking nifty also add +87 dmge and makes you attack faster.  A great aura.  Right now at lvl 51 I do over 670 dmge with this aura


For my minor I choose to go fire like most wizzie for flickerflame.  Making my hit and run tactics and glitching to a new level of aswome.  Adding in inferno gives me another psn like effect (burn) combined with ven shock takes a good chunk of life.  Also gives u another AEO spell. ALso being able to run faster and attack even more faster makes it great for killing mobs even better.  I'd def reccomend fire

I didn't realize how good this wizz was until I started soloing all my quest.  Starting from the qin army to the evil ape king and every other quest.  I rarely needed help.  And also vine bind when used right can set up for aswome glitching before you get flicker flame.

I will tell you right now that pvp wise this is not the way to go. This is a solo pvm/group wizzie.  While in partying you are able to heal/trap/control mobs for the party.  Combined with a priest and nobody will even die not once.  Plus gives the priest a lil break to focus more on buffs. BUt if you do pvp pally's will prob be the only cter you can beat considering you can vind bind ven shock bramble then flicker away and repeat till there dead.  



Pros -

ASwome mob control
Rarely use blood/mana pots with tranquil/bloodburn
Able to solo majority of yourself
Great pvm
Great Party addtion
Cheap Scrolls
High Dmge

cons
Dang near worthless in pvp
No stuns or cancels



Go mike

Wow that is a very nice analysis.

Earth Priest Analysis

So I have a 79 Earth Priest and very experienced in knowing this class/element.

I think it is a given that priest are thee support class in the game.  Currently the cool down timer on Fan Dance was removed making a priest a lot stronger than before.  Pvp is a challenge but priest are thee most desired class.  Everyone wants a priest making partying for quests and TQs easier.  People will save a spot or make room in team for a priest.  Earth specialize in defense.

Spells
Summon Bear – minor summon
Summon Manfaced Beast (aka Pax) – main summon
Impregnable – First party buff
Sheild Party – suicide skill
Force Shock – Attack combined with a debuff
Imbue the Ocean – Element Buff

Summon Bears
This spell is fun at the lower levels when you first receive it but a priest will notice after that the main summon will become the summon of choice.  However, don’t count these Bears out.  Minor summons have a benefit for the whole team but only when the minor summon is attacking.  When a priest levels their Bears, the Bears will increase a teams strike rate by 15% when fixed.  A priest can see the effect of the Bears buff on the teammates.  The hands of the other teammates will glow larger than double experience time and a lighter yellow when the buff is working.  The glowing effect happens on fairies and turns them into lightning bugs so to speak.  The effect can also be seen on the other priest main summon.  If the Bears stop attacking the effect wears off in a few seconds.  If a priest is the only priest in team, the main summon is the safest bet.  If other priest have their main summons out, then bring out the Bears for an extra buff.  One common trick is to cast one minor summon from the minor element and one bear (major element).  That way the team can benefit from two buffs from the different minor summons.

Summon Pax
Before the name were changed in PDO, the Manfaced Beast was named Paxaio.  The nickname for the Manfaced Beast was Pax.  To this day, I call my main summon Pax.  Manfaced Beast is just a very silly and clumsy name so I will refer to it as a Pax in this analysis.  The Pax is in my opinion the largest mob lurer of all the other element summons.  I have played lvl 50+ wood, fire, water not metal yet.  But I am more than willing to put my money on the Pax as thee largest mob lure out of the elements.  If you see it in your screen more than likely the Pax is going to lure it over.  This is both a curse and a blessing.  It is great to walk around and not have to worry at all about being hurt.  The Pax will call virtually everything that surrounds you on to it, protecting the earth priest very well.  Plus the Pax is a tank and can hold off a large number of mobs.  However there lies the curse.  The Pax can only take so much.  A saying with me and my friends is when the Pax dies someone else will to.  A Pax is like a flood gate, if it breaks you’re in for some hurtin’ when all the freed mobs are turning on you and your teammates.  One of the downfalls of the Pax is, even at the higher levels, its attack is relatively low in comparison to the other summons.  Don’t expect a Pax to be able to finish off higher level mobs without the priest’s help.  The Pax is a tank but the tradeoff is of course the decreased in attack.  This makes some of the timed quests difficult because the priest will lack the attack to kill within the timer.  I am biased but I love the Pax the most.  Although he is one of the weirder main summons.

Impregnable
Party buff for increasing defense.  At fixed level, it will increase the teammates defense by +48.  I have had a couple people ask me what the buff does since they can’t seem to tell.  It helps overall especially if you level it up, but if at lower levels not that great.

Shield Party
The most loved skill from an earth priest.  Everyone asks for it.  Unfortunately it doesn’t do what the description says which is to Shield Party; not singular.  The site is wrong and even states the whole team.  I would love for this to be fixed.  This spell only has one level but lasts 35 seconds to give 75% dmg reduction.  When I cast this beauty on wizs when fighting the L99, they see the L99 dealing 200 dmg per hit.  The only problem is it costs the priest 99% mana and health.  This is why the spell is called a suicide or cide for short.  If the priest is not careful in casting the cide, the priest can die in the weakest of hits.  Have HP pot ready immediately after casting.  Btw don’t buy this spell in the market, it is worthless don’t waste money or pp on it.  The spell is only one level and not a minor spell, meaning no one can learn it anyway.  So don’t fall trapped.  

Force Shock (FS)
This is one of the priests attack spells.  FS is nice in that it debuffs the target.  In bayer with players hyped up on monkey corn?  Well FS will cancel out their buffs.  I am not sure how it works with the PP buffs in bayer.  Not only will FS cause a debuff effect but will lower the targets defense plus a dmg blow.  This is a minor spell as well and if you’re trying to decide your minor spell seriously consider earth for FS.

Imbue the Ocean
Earth is the strongest water.  Imbue the Ocean increases an earth priest’s strength even more against water.  When I am wearing my Spiritualist Title set and cast Imbue the Ocean, it is like I have a water title, Black Tortoise, from bayer.  At higher levels, this spell makes a large difference.  Too bad there aren’t that many waters in game.

o yea note on earth priest they rock at pvp.....curaga ownt me godfather and crow fs rocks in pvp

huatos

ouch yea i got ownd by a priest it was pretty sad lol, force shock poof shields gone. then fan danced me to death   i was told how to kill a priest in a diff way then i normally do havent tried it yet. gotta test it on curaga xD

err guess i should say somthing bout earth wiz....


How is the class/element in pvp?
Which how would the minors affect the playing of this class/element?
How is a class/element sin in pve?
What are the pros/cons of a class/element?

ok.. um yea Earth Wiz

PvP with earth wiz is so much fun its not even funny cuz u hear ppl complaing bout your skills all the time. you get stuns that make ppl fly in the air an cant atk u. u get a knockback, u get a  skill where u can freeze them completely, and your shield gives u alot more def then most wiz. earth wiz is like a cross between a wizard an a pally they got the defence for semi tanking, there skills are more of a toe to toe fighting style then ranged atk's like most wiz.

i choose metal for minor becuz it gives u more atk. earth wiz got the def an the stuns but takes a lil bit to actually kil. the extra atk helps, along with getting another stun, which makes everyone love u even more in pvp   

earth wiz not going to lie isnt that great at pve.. unless if u do the normal glitching like every wiz. but specially when it comes to red name bosses. your skills all of them will miss. all your stuns useless (another reason i choose metal minor is for soul shatter, actually works against bosses says it does 25% dmg of the hp but that percentage is off.) earth wiz has a hard time when it comes to quests where u gotta solo bosses on your own.

Earth Wiz Skills:
-EarthQuake - a skill that bounces ppl in the air
-RockFall - a big AoE skill
-Stone Skin - Earth Wiz Shield when maxed at lvl 4 u get +82 def and Resist Charge 25%
-Rock Blast - the knockback skill
-Petrify - the skill that freezes opponents for 8 sec
-Phoenix Fire - The most hated skill by ppl faceing earth wiz, its a Tornado that throw them up into the air and hits 2 times

Pro's:
-Awesome at PvP
-You will laugh when everyone complains about your skills
-Huge ammount of Defence.
-Lots of stuns

Con's
-Sucks at PvE
-Need to work in groups mostly when u not PvP (so if you like to solo on your own isnt for u)
-Earth Wiz is slow in the beggining, which is why you will see tons of earth wiz around then they die out becuz they quit that char.
-Earth Wiz rely on the shields that extra defence helps them since there atks are close range.

eh if u wanna see earth wiz fighting just watch me   -TheCrow- pm me in game if ya want.

Earth/Metal Wiz FTW
