Wizzard question - Phoenix Freeshard

Hello,

i ve made my first wizard on Albion, it s quite a nice toon and the class is quite impressive
But i m asking myself for my final spec
I want to keep some of the nice tools of earth spec.
Does someone have tried the 39 earth / 37 fire spec?

Furthermore, i ve read on several forums that there is a GTAOE on the earth line spec
I didn t see on the char planner
Can someone tell me wich spelll is it?

(sorry for my English, it s not my maternal langage)

Once u tasted full earth u cant go back to another way ! even for XP (the aoe + slow is just incredible, maybe faster than my cabal aoe sometimes !)
2 good bolts enough no need 3
if u dont put 48+ in earth u miss the fantastic aoe dot (very surprised, never read anywhere, I think only single dot until I up 50 ^^)
Of course gtaoe in earth (forgot name ^^)

I'll probably be doing something like 44 earth 30 fire on mine. But I think it will be better for rvr, since that is what I'll be playing it as. The aoe dot's nice for dot pulling but does very little for you in rvr other than breaking cc.

I think it’s a mistake to bypass 50% matter debuff and the dot for some fire damage variance

You go 49 earth everytime. Then you choose fire 22 or cold 22. With fire you have less variance on your second bolt the baseline fire one. With cold you have a higher delve nuke at 179 instead of fires one at 171. You choose. But you never go below 49 earth. Ever.

Ice for PVE to be sure. For RvR - go earth as others have stated. I went 49 Earth 22 Fire.

You're GTAE Spells are the Direct Damage AoE's in the char planner. Earth Wave is the level 43 and last GTAE. You'll cast that by setting a ground target (f5 is default) and then hold your right mouse button to move closer or further from you. Once at the desired location you can use your mouse wheel to scroll up or down to get the proper elevation for your GT. Then, bomb away every 6-seconds.

Such split specs like 39/37 are good for a support class. Wizzard is a damage dealer. You want a last spec damage spell doesn't matter wich line you would spec.
Wizzard is very good in each (full--) spec.

EARTH wiz is just perfect - 49 earth/ restover fire or ice. I would take ice as a secound line due to a higher delve base line nuke and quite good bomb again stealther, for tower fights etc. Someone takes fire as 2nd line, but dont know for what, in Earth line you wil have more then enough spels to deal the ranged damage. You have 3 debuffs for each spel you choose.

If you decide to go for FIRE - take 50 fire, At least 14 earth for 2nd nearsight, restover you could put in earth for better 3rd bolt or take a 2nd bomb from the ice line.
As fire you have no debuffs, but very high and quick brust damage and nice ae dd. Finally, you could nuke in assist with other wizz who debufs for you.

Ice is for me more PvE spec. But it is also a nice opportunity for the keep fights or for 8vs 8 fights - strong dd-debuff, dd+snare single and ae, very good base nuke to cast under debuf.

Personally after I tried full earth spec I dont want play other specs or even other caster.

If you're running a fire wizard with you as Earth wizard, having fire as offspec will be better so you can both nuke fire together.

Sure! But I prefere to spec second line Ice, because the base Ice nuke has higher delve and you can debuff for a Thergist and for Ice Wizz as well.

If you Go Fire Go 47f 26e, its like a rm for Alb.
45% ns AND a 15s 15% debuff, That is totally worth it, every Other class that debuffs the own dmg Type only lasts 8.

Skip the Last bolt, Misses too much anyway
