i have been really angry lately death has an 85% chance of hitting and most of the time it misses when i am about to die or it's my first death attack of the battle why is this and also satyr also misses more than 90% of the time. is there a reason to this?

Yes, it's called Murphy's law. Whatever can go wrong will, and at the worst possable time. I play death as well and have been saved by a well timed enemy fizzle as much as I have died to one of my own. I have had six plus fizzles in a row and I have managed to cast with a -40% accuracy debuff on me. It is totally and completely random, just be glad you aren't storm or fire.

What? It works 85% of the time, it fizzles 15% of the time. That isn't bad. I think you got a little confused there.

Be glad you aren't a storm wizard. Death has good accuracy. Get over it.

catboy again why are you so mad i am simply expressing my opinion about death fizzling and all you say is ''get over it'' ''be glad your not a storm wizard well i do have a grandmaster storm wizard and he hardly EVER misses :? storm wizards aren't the only wizards who fizzle you know

I'm not mad, but Death school has the second most accuracy, almost as much as life. I know storm wizards aren't the "only ones that fizzle," but they have the least accuracy. Death, on the other hand, does not, it has 15% more accuracy than storm. Everyone fizzles once in a while, there's nothing you can do about it. No school is perfect, but as I said before, 85% accuracy is actually very good. Statistically, you do not fizzle more than or as much as a storm wizard. It just seems that way to you. You should be grateful that you are fortunate enough to have that kind of accuracy. It wouldn't be fair if anything about the schools were changed because of what one person didn't like. And death's accuracy is good, so, as I have said before, get over it.

I play death too , and yeah somedays its like my deck is just fizzle happy. Seems to happen more often when I cast a spell that I have multiples of showing in my deck.
Now what I have done , in order to help me when I am in a pinch and can't afford to fizzle , is to create treasure cards of my wraith spell and keep them in the deck for back up. I just buy a ton of keen eyes , and go over to unicorn way and make up the cards.
So now when I am fighting a boss or in a dungeon and dont want to take a chance of a fizzle , I have a 95% wraith card waiting in my deck. So far , none of them have fizzled on me.

I have no idea, Life healing spells should never fizzle. But life has a very high rate, and its one of the schools that hardly ever fizzle. And Satyr doesnt fizzle, EVER to me. Some luck.

"With the power of Fire, Ice, Storm, Myth, Life, Death, and Balance, you will win. Flames apon your eyes, seal the frost, control the sea's, summon creatures by memorizing their true name, healing to victory, stealing health, and blading, with the power...A true Wizard can be.
Bring A Wave in your life! WaveBringer."


There is no such thing as bad luck.

Well there's absolutely nothing anyone can do about that. It happens to everyone. You'll be fine.
