Hello,
i'm new to the game.
I've some questions:
1. Does the wizard faction has any advantage over other factions in the Hunt? (PVE)?
2. Is the dark elves better spell casters than wizards? a friend of mine told me that they have better options. He is DE lvl 5. But he is new like me.
3. Does wizards need to invest only in Spell power and Mana?
Thank you! | 1. Yes, each time their faction level increases, they will deal more damage to neutral creatures. Additionally they can equip their troops with mini artifacts
(you can read their faction ability here: https://www.lordswm.com/help.php?section=38)
2. In PvP yes they might be better, because they have a talent to deal 150% magic damage for 200% mana cost. But in PvE the wizard is definitely better because of their faction ability.
3. Mostly yes. Maybe a few defence points to survive longer, but these will usually come from the mini artifacts. | 1.
The Wizard characters also have an increase to the damage they deal with spells to neutral creatures at hunt and on Mercenaries' Guild errands:
in case of direct damaging spells, [final damage]=[normal damage]*(2+[faction skill level])/2;
in case of area of effect damaging spells, [final damage]=[normal damage]*([spell area]+[faction skill level])/[spell area].
This damage increase has no effect with the "Firewall" spell.
2. Dark Elves generally have a higher damage output compared to Wizards (regarding spell damage) in PvP combats due to the Dark Elves' special talent Elemental Call. It causes their spells to deal 150% of the original damage for double the base mama cost.
3. Wizards can also opt for a might oriented build. Its entirely upto the player. However, being Wizards (duh) they generally excel at magic. | Addition to Sven's post:
3. Definitely yes. Do not waste parameter points into defense or other things (other than spell power and knowledge). Generally, artifacts give more points into defense (or might, in general) rather than "magic points". So, if you ever need more defense/attack it is always better to use artifacts to complement those needs, and use all primary parameters to increase spell power/knowledge. | 2. Is the dark elves better spell casters than wizards? a friend of mine told me that they have better options. He is DE lvl 5. But he is new like me.
As said above, dark elves deals more damage with spells, because they have elemental call. But, wizards survives much more in the battles, so they probably will have more turns to cast, which makes them pretty good casters too. | | Thank you very much! |
