A lot of villains cast DoT spells one after the other and it drives me nuts! I've had two, three (two from one villain and one from another villain), and even four (two from each villain) on me at once. DoT spells are hard enough as it is to recover from, but having multiple DoT spells on me at the same time is very frustrating and very difficult to come back from. This is usually prevalent in the lower level worlds (Wizard City and Krokotopia) where it's hard to survive this strategic attack, so what I'm asking is can you make this less prevalant in the lower level worlds and more prevalent in mid to higher level worlds?
Note: Let me clarify that I'm not looking for advice. The situation I've brought up is more of an annoyance to me than a full out roadblock in the progress of my wizards, and I just want to see if anyone else feels the same way. Not to sound rude, but I don't need help or advice; I'm not saying I'm a master strategist or anything, just saying I know what I'm doing. This has just been something on my mind for a couple of weeks that I wanted to ask in the Forum.
Rather than trying to aim for healing spells, wizards at a young level should really focus on shields. If you are any school but Ice, focus on it. Try having only a few strong attacks, but be sure to have a few pixies or sprites in your hand. A few sprites can cancel out the effects of some DoT spells.

I don't aim for healing spells. Also, how am I supposed to focus on shielding spells when some of my wizards can't shield themselves until a higher level? When I was playing on my Conjurer, I wasn't able to get Ether Shield until Lvl. 16 when a lot of the villains I had to fight were of a Spiritual school. Most of my wizards have secondary schools, none of that 'training in this school until that spell and training in that school until this spell', and I'm not gonna train in a different school just to get shields or waste money on treasure cards.
They can get shields as treasure cards or buy them with training points from Sabrina Greenstar. Also some of the pendants in Kroktopia have an ice, storm, or fire shield. Try the bazaar for different pendants also.
Also before going into a fight check your gear. Gear drops have residence to schools that you are fighting that you can wear. This means they don't hurt you as bad. It might not be your best possible gear but it might be the best for your situation. You might be constantly switching outfits but if it helps you win do what you must.

For Conjurers, you get a golem minion at level 2. Particularly since it is 0 pips, use it like a shield. Cast it early (and often) while you build pips or heal and let it draw fire and take big hits for you while whittling down your enemies. By looking at it as an expendable distraction, I actually found it more effective than other school shields because it will draw the entire damage of a spell (often a big 2 or 3 pip spell) away from you vs. merely reducing it... all the while doing damage to the enemy. Sure, there may be a delay but its still quite effective. The key is to remember not to start hitting the enemies until you have built up enough pips because that will make them focus on you instead of your minion(s). At level 10, you can start training your minion toolkit from Tish'mah starting with the shield minion spell. I hope this helps.
