which school would you choose

storm is for great attacks
ice is for great health
fire is like ice and storm combined
death is for attacking and healing at same time
myth is for summoning minions to assist you in battle
life is for being able to heal other players or your self

Fire is not like Ice and Storm combined :x ! Ice is (in my opinion) the worst school. Sure, they have lots of health, but the spells are about half as powerful as, well, spells from any school other than Ice. Sure, Storm has powerful spells, but they usually fizzle, and, hey! If they don't, it's called shields! Storm wizards have such low health that they can usually be killed by a Helephant with no blades or traps!
Storm and Ice both stink, but I guess Ice is better by a fraction of a bit. Basically, I would choose Fire!!! 8)

It's not the school, it's the player. I think you've roughly identified the unique nature of the schools. Although I would say fire is better described as:

- good damage with decent accuracy. Great damage over time spells.

Just decide what style of play suits you best and go with that. There are grandmasters of all schools so obviously any type can be successful. There is no best or worst school.

My first was death/life and after awhile I figured out I could win battles, but it took forever. My second? Ice and storm. With Ice I get all the shields (tower + fire/storm), then I get the attack power of storm. Since I have good defense plus high health I can afford the fizzles to do the good damage. They may both be bad by themselves but combined it makes a great wizard, at least for me.

Ice you say ice is bad? No way even though i am not ice i have a balance pvp character who is a warlord but still often gets beaten by ice They get tower shields and ice armor( probably some of the best defenses ). They also get the best traps and blades and Balefrost is the best Global spell. Storm's triton is the strongest spell to one person. ( besides wild bolt )and Storm lord? ( is in my opinion one of the BEST spells ever). As for the worst class? there's not really a worse class but myth is sort of hmm idk. Orthrus does basically as much damage as storm lord but its only to one guy and well it doesnt stun ( But it gets past shields!)

Exactly. Adapt your wizard to fit your play style. There really is no best school. Players make the difference.

Ice has the best health and the best defence and it doesnt have the weakest attacks the weakest attacks are from the school of life. I for one think that fire is the lamest and most annoying school in the game, that is why i had to leave fire out when i created my six characters



"the best offence is a great defence" so that proves ice is better then fire :P



ps. fire dragon is a lame and dumb looking spell, why is it that only the dragon titan looks like a dragon? the others look half chicken

Hey you dont need to get mad what he means is that fire is in the middle, yea fire dont have that much health but it is higher than storm and yea its not powerful as storm but it is more powerful than ice and i would choose ice because yea it is not that strong and not powerful but we can use stun and tower shields to beat them and then attack
