It's totally possible to create a high damage wizard with survivability beyond just glass cannons. I'm currently on power level 8 floor 53, and have been doing boss fights just fine. Don't neglect matching crit chance/dmg items with mp/hp leech, and all resist. Main reason I don't use storm anymore is because it stays in place, with twister I can move with it on boss fights while trailing bosses through time warp. Twister regens hp/mp constantly with leech while doing damage at the same time. 40k-50k+ crits constantly. How? Just enchant your element damage to match the world, poison=shock, ice=fire ect., combine that with items that buff Empower, time warp, or blast and you're looking at a lot of damage output and damage mitigation with the other things I described above. Again no need for pots either.
Also last thing, if you are heading straight for green portals and aren't clearing floors, you most likely aren't picking up bonus dmg stats based on challenges.
Yea the game got a lot easier when I learned how to enchant my mainhand with the area-appropriate damage. Its essentially free to do.
We will let everyone know as soon as it goes into the last stage of their review process. Thanks for your patience!
Not really free though. I found it rather expensive to change the element using the enchanting system at high gear level. Each enchant costs 30-40K gold above level 80, and it's random too and you may have to try a few times to get the right element. Do that on a few items and you can easily burn off 200-300K. For a wizard though, it's hard to beat Gauntlet/Bracer combination for both dmg and survivability. Dev even pointed out early in the thread as their fav setup.
Level 51 her and I can't bring myself to drop Staff. I love bracer, but no other weapon comapres to staff for me, the AoE on the auto attack is beast for farming.
I also prefer the gauntlet paired with the astral summoning set (so, a tome) and a diffusion 20 item.
Anyone knows how diffusion works? i have a minion master build, but having a diffusion 20 ring it doesnt seem to reduce dmg i am getting at all.... thanks~
Level 21, and on floor 13.... Warrior. And I just can't die. The game looks awesome. It plays well, too. But there a,re too many mp and health regen drops. I only have 1 epic.... A sword, but that is just about at the end of its usefulness. I have spent $1 on IAP so far, and really, that was just a tip to the devs.... I do appreciate the way they handled IAP...... More like things you want, not things you need. Duh.. I was only on level 2 difficulty.
