[AnticorRifling]

I just want to see wizard training paths in this topic this way I don't have to sift through the riff raff.

I need to drop INF and raise INT and AG.
As far as training I think I will lower harness power training to get more lore training, mana control, and maybe my trading again.

What problems (besides the ones I just mentioned) do you see with this training. It works well for my hunting style and right now he still destroys trali.

AS with a blade is like 297, DS in offensive is 297. Bolt without 513 is 283 and minor elemental CS is 275, major and wizard CS are 245.

Definately lower Harness Power. I was originally going 1.5x in it, but I ended up going 1.3x for now.

Love you Jolena!

I went heavy into tripling spells for the uncapped bonuses. I liked the spells earth lore aids. Air turned out to be terrible.

[Stunseed]

Nothing beats casting Weapon Fire and having Vacuum flares. I'm Fire Lore heavy, due to right now I hunt undead nasties.

Love you Jolena!
