Does being in Azteca make you fizzle more? I have been fizzling about 40-50% more in Azteca than anywhere else. I am a Death wizard and besides Death spells, I use Life, Storm, Ice and Fire. I know Storm has the least, followed by Ice and Fire.
I was in a battle and I used 8 Life spells, fizzling on half of them.
I have been resorting to enchanting all of my spells with Unstoppable.
The only other thing is that I used to have gear that gave an accuracy of 5%. Now I am wearing something that gives an accuracy of 2%. A 3% difference can't make that much of a difference.

It is all to do with probability. Fact is, even if there is a 1% chance of fizzling, it could happen every spell (that would be very unlucky, but that is fact). The accuracy is based on each spell, not overall general spells. I have seen people with 99% accuracy fizzle 2-3 times in a row. Point is, if there is a slightest chance it CAN fizzle, expect it to probably happen. You're just being unlucky and it happens to show in Azteca.
Luckily for me, my fire has 103% on fire, and 100+ on all other schools, except storm is 90%. I don't fizzle on any spell but storm or if I have a smoke screen on.
Sorry for your trouble, but if you want to plan to meet up, I'll add you and help you through Azteca. With waiting for Khrysalis part 2, I don't have much to do.
Ice actually has a respectable amount of accuracy, while storm and fire have the least. Even though I am level 95, I still carry the sidhe staff, which gives 13% accuracy and 20% and 5 major blitz item cards, and another power pip at the start of battle. Other gear gives me more accuracy, so I have 20 balance accuracy, and thanks to other gear, still manage 75 damage and 33 universal resist. Wolf RavenBreath 95 balance
Thank you for your advice, support and explanations. I guess it when I posted, I wasn't having a good day. And the next day, I did.
To Mello Lily about not fizzling - I want it to be fair. Not fizzling at all doesn't seem fair to me either. If the Life School has a 90% accuracy rating and I fizzle 50% of the time. that doesn't seem fair. But if the Storm School has a 70% accuracy rating and I never fizzle, that doesn't seem fair either. I expect to fizzle 10% of time with Life spells and 30% of the time with Storm spells. I guess it depends on how many spells Kingsisle are using in their percentages. If they are using 100 spells, then 10% is 10 spells that will fizzle and I drew the first 4.
To Mello Lily about offering to help - Thank you for the offer but I can make it through on my own. If we should meet, I would like to add you as a friend. This way, if I have any more issues, I can tell me what I'm not taking in account for.
I rarely die because I am always shielding and healing first. My fizzles occurred when I was trying to heal. Three straight fizzles on healing spells resulted in my defeat. I typically start trying to heal when I have half of my total health left, maybe a little more.
But in retrospect, anything is possible. Many cases, bosses cheat and you can do anything about that.

Fizzle and "fizzle rates" are a commonly posted item here. In a recent thread on the topic, how it works was pretty thoroughly discussed:
It sounds from your post as if you may be confused about what the numbers actually mean. The way you are describing it seems to indicate that you expect literally 1 in 10 casts to fail for life wizards, 3 in 10 for storm, and the appropriate variants for all the other schools. That isn't how it works. If it did, the combat system would be completely predictable and frankly not a lot of fun. Please read through the discussions in the posted thread and should you have any questions, I would be happy to try and help explain.
