Anyone knows how I should train to pure casting at the level 36? Any lores I should consider at this time? I think my stats are perfect for bolting with my wizard:

And should I train for sword and board or not at all if I want to be enchanting also?

[Gelston]

Did you really block out your wizards name?

[Gweneivia]

OMG I wonder who it is...

[Loyrl]

I like the XXX part on the name, and the bolded part below.

yeah yeah yeah..I just did that on purpose. I already know you guys know it's me..but can't you guys help me out?

[Gweneivia]

I don't really know. However, in the interest of not being a pure troll, here.

That wiki page needs a complete overhaul/smack in the dick.

It's been a long time for me since I was at this level, but here are my thoughts:

spell levels: you should be somewhere between 2x and 3x spell trains. Remember that major and minor help your AS and DS, Wizard ranks help your enchanting and DS. 425 is essential. 430 is useful. Get as close to 3x spells as you can... it is the best way wizards have of increasing their AS and DS.

If you are bolting, go runestaff. There are better places to use those skill points then shield use. If you want to swing a weapon, use a two handed one, polearm, or a bow. Don't go sword and board.

Harness power. It's pricey to double this, but you might find that the ~ 100 spell points you have are not enough. Doubling it will let you cast 10 more minor acids, which really make a difference in your hunt.

2x spell aim, 1.5ish x AS and MU, or more, to improve runestaff defence. 1x Elemental mana control. 15 ranks armor use for doubles. If you want to use 908, throw a few ranks (1, probably) in MoC, and train 10ish ranks in fire lore. 24 ranks of air shaves a second off of your haste. Appropriate amounts of PF, climbing, Perception, etc.

Hope this helps!

Sure I am not maxxing my 425 due to the wizard ranks for enchanting and making sure I don't fail 7x casts With the fixskill I'm going to drop the MIU to 1x and add some more MnE and fire lore to increase his immolation damage.

He's far from perfect, but he's fun.

Neat, I may be doing something like that..Thank you.

I would probably go with that if I was in Voln..but alas I'm in GoS, thanks for the thought though.

He's wearing a really good set of robes, which is why he ain't got no armor. For lores at this level, the only thing I found worth the tps were 24 ranks of Air lore. The rest were all dumped into spell training so that he could eventually enchant. Do NOT forget to bring Minor Elemental up to at LEAST 25 if you go pure, because without it, you're not going to make enough of a dent in your enemies. 430 is great, too, but not as necessary since as a pure wizard, things in front of me tend to die.

Voln? Ewwwww. I am a member of the society that shall not be talked about but that everyone knows everything about anyway making it damn near impossible to role-play any secrecy any more.

I don't see too many people with the old brawler build, I switched to it during the de-icing with Aanalar and have loved it ever since. It is an acquired taste. But to disarm me, you have to literally disarm me.

Lol! Ah okay...I don't train in brawl for anye wizards of mine..unless it's for voln, because I think it's pretty useless..but trading in just shield is interesting. Yeah I have this warmage who swing NOW and I still roleplay with him..Just can't wait to go casting. Thank you again. :]

This is my wizard now..I do wanna focus more on enchanting for the business and fun of enchanting my runestaff or robes if I possible can. Bleh lol 1x AS and 2x MIU? I llike the idea of 2x'n both but yeah other then that your build looks fun also

[milesalpha]

Do we all agree a statfix potion will be in order some day?

[inso]

Shield/brawl wizard isn't for swinging. It's a defensive build that has better DS than a runestave and never has to worry about disarm.

[Dayko]

Ah okay I see..But really it's a waste of points at a reason you need more ranks in your spells. yes?

[milesalpha]

Not at all, it did affect my EMC, Arcane and MIU as those are slightly lower than average. Since I enchant very little (but have never failed a cast) it has little effect. My spells and spell aim have been and are very comparable among my peers. Defensively I have fewer weaknesses, as you see a lot more combat maneuvers as you train higher. A simple disarm renders a runestaffer highly vulnerable, as does a feint. They have little to no effect on me. Flat on my back, in offensive stance, Im still around 450 ds with only self spells up (no wizard shield).

It's just a personal choice, I don't cotton much to the new style of enchanting so I can sacrifice it. You've seen me in action, do I sweat much? (Complain yes, but sweat never)

Don't need 2x miu/as for DS as you should be unhittable without it. 1x Minor for AS/DS 425/430. 1x Major for 516 CS. Add Wizard for better DS whenever you can. My 516 is my bread and butter to make sure I always have enough mana to finish hunts. If you rely on 516 you need to 1x Major.

[dszabo]

This is what I was planning for my 55 wizard when fixskills comes up
4 armor use for full leathers
40 shield ranks - everything after that with a tower shield is 1.04DS in guarded...is it worth it?
57 brawling ranks - i'm a voln master (why I didn't also stop at 40) as well as DS.
20 physical fitness - hp cap and I'll work it up for maneuvers later on.
114 magic item use - enchanting and rubbable durations.
114 arcane symbols - enchanting and invokeable durations.
57 harness power - 172 mana should be plenty with leech and fu.
114 spell aiming - obviously.
57 elemental mana control - regen and leech boosters.
45 Major Elemental - bring up that Leech CS, and Immo.
55 Minor Elemental - 425/430 love.
25 Wizard - enchant item.
50 fire lore - fire DF cap.
10 climbing - in case I wanna get to EN.
20 perception - sure.

Hope that helps XXX. I mean Dayko. Also I could use some input on that too...not too sure how solid my logic is on the shield use.
