Wow.
You simply have no clue what you're talking about.
Balance isn't the best school in wizard101
Life isn't the next best school either.
You make no sense.
Oh and I have proof
Right here:

Balance's GOOD spell is judgement (sorry if I spelled that wrong) They DON'T have the best spells. Let's take a look at a few of their attacks:
Spectral Blast: Doesn't even hit that high
Hydra: Pretty useless unless you have about 10 fire shields 10 ice shields and 10 storm shields.
Power Nova: Weakest Rank 7 spell.

Sorry if I sound mean, but you're wrong. I'm just saying.
I know a lot of balance wizards on here and in-game think their school is the best, no problem. If you go to a few of the life clubs, death clubs, balance clubs they'll all be saying their school is the best, there's no problem with that because I mean... who would hate their own school?

Life isn't the second best. This made me hit the floor and start laughing.
Um... what about storm? Storm has the highest attacks. What about Death and Fire? They have good attacks too.
Life's main thing is to heal, they have some attacks but their main is to heal. Okay, millionth time I've said this: All schools have advantages and disadvantages!!!

Fire: Good attacks
Cons: Low accuracy

Ice: Best defense
Cons: Weak attacks

Storm: Highest attacks
Cons: Low health and accuracy

Life: Best healing school
Cons: Weak attack

Death: Good attacks
Cons: it's been fizzling a little too much...

Myth: Best minions
Cons: Weak attacks

Balance: Good defense from all schools
Cons: So-so attacks
you obviously have no idea about baklance kid it is so strong with the shields you geet and hydra only needs like one of each type of shield to do well over 800 with balance blade or hex to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and judge ment i got up to like 3000 with balance blade hex feint and the +20% to all friends it is so powerful
oh and power nova is super strong with balance blade and hex! you oviously have no idea


Wow bobbyfly, you are wrong all over, Judgement is balance's only good attack, everything else is sub class in power, IT WAS A SUPPORT CLASS NOT ATTACK! and hydra, it's a 6 pip spell! NO DUH YOU CAN GET IT OVER 800 WITH MINIMAL BLADING,TRAPPING! A support class gets lots of blades and traps like that, if you didnt know. Seriously, actaully learn about ALL THE CLASSES before you post. It also takes forever to make a strong judgement

Are you out of your mind? Well, you gotta admit that Balance DOESN'T have a shield for itself. But their flaws are their attacks. Yeah, they do have shields, blades, and some good stuff but nobody's perfect so I guess most of the people posting here are aganist you. I'm sorry, but there isn't any awesome and 100% schol anywhere, even in real life. -- Jasmine- life lvl 22 - and Patrick " Pat " Darkslinger - he's Ice not Death lvl 6 -

I am balance and I don't find it to be the best school for one on one situations. However when it comes to setting up other people and sheilding it is great! So it really depends on how you play. I personally only like to play with some of my friends, I most of the time like the quite of just me playing and unfortunatly the spells are really weak and end up mostly using my secondary storm school.

My second wizard is Fire and Ice for second, now thats a great combo for solo missions!

Well... if you were one of the elementals than you'd vote for balance if you had to vote out of these schools, however if you were a spiritual than you'd vote for life. For me this is a hard choice. I have a life and death student, each being great in their own way. Life can heal, and balance can end battles quickly(NOT by fleeing). Each school has their own way of being the best.

1. storm - can do lots of damage with little pips

2. ice - has the most health and can live long in battle

3. fire - has a good amount of "hurt" spells and shields

4. death - can attack AND heal all in one turn

5. myth - has good attacking spells and minions

6. life- can heal themselves as well as teamates

7. balance - has good defense and attacking skills

I don't really think so. Like a lot of people said if you didn't have judgement you would get crushed. Also if you plan on playing the game on that wizard a ton, you might get to DS and you woundn't be able to do anything solo. Im not trying to offend you, I am just trying to make a point.

Lol. This makes you look bad, too. This person sees the best school in a different light than you, his favorites would be supportive schools. As for you, the way you commented makes you seem like you think YOUR opinion is the ONLY opinion. You think that the best schools are schools that ATTACK. You two think differently, and it isn't right to bash this person's opinion because you see the best schools in a different light than he does. Actually, the best school dosen't have anything to do with attack power, IT HAS TO DO WITH THE BEST STRATEGY. Next time you bash someone else's opinion, think about if your bashing them just because you have a different opinion. Not trying to be rude, just helping you out a little.

It is clear every class has it's strengths and weaknesses. It is also clear that in order for you to play any class well you have to know and play to those strengths well and protect your weaknesses.

The strengths of the balance school, according to me and in no set order of importance are as follows:

1) There is no direct shield or dispel against balance damage except for Ice's Tower Shield and any of the absorb skills. You can have the highest damage spell, but take away 75%-80% of that damage what are you left with?

2) You have elemental and spirit shield. Three shields for 0 pips. Yes they are only 50% which is better then no shields at all and you can always supplement this with weakness for a total of 75%. Most players will have at the very least 2 and at the most 4 of the 6 kinds.

3) At first I was disappointed with Balance blade's 25%, but then I realized anyone in your group from any magic class can use it. If you aren't the main nuker in your group you don't lose the use of it. You also have Elemental Blade and Spirit Blade at 35% to supplement that to 60% and an additional 20% from Bladestorm for a total of 80%.

People often focus on their individual damage that they forget they have teammates in the group. The Balance Sorcerer, not only harnesses his own ability to damage, but he also capitalizes on the damage of others. Yes, Elemental and Spirit Blade costs 1 pip, but you gain am extra 70% damage when you capitalize on the damage of your teammates.

So a Sorcerer may not have the highest yielding individual damage skill, but add all the extra damage he causes by amplifying the damage of others, in the end he causes even more potential damage then Storm.

3) When it comes to Elemental and Spirit Traps, yes it too costs 1 pip versus 0 pip by others schools, but once again. You have an extra 70% damage that can be used by your teammates. Later on you do get Hex, which give 30% trap damage and is not school specific.

4) Spectral blast against the spirit classes and balance is great, against the elements on the other hand you have a 1:3 chance of hitting the same school. This also equates to giving your PVP opponent a 1:3 chance of knowing what to shield against.

5) With your shields and your ability to heal, you are second to a life class when it comes to keeping people alive.

6) Power Nova may have a low over all damage yield, but the heals you get by the 25% damage reduction rivals the death schools lvl 48 spell, not to mention the havoc it does to a PVP player who would either have to absorb that 25% damage reduction or lose a turn using a 0 or low pip skill to remove the curse.

This is all I can think of at the moment. I hope this sheds some light to the life of a Sorcerer (Balance) or at the very least help spark ideas in others.

Safe hunting!

For all of you who say one school is weak, or another is good, here is a brief overview of all classes

Fire: Good with groups, has great group attacks like choke (stuns all enemies for one turn) smokescreen (reduces accuracy of all enemies), a powerful multi hit attack called meteor strike, and a shield breaker multi hit attack called rend. Unfortunatley they have low accuracy and lower power than storm, but every team likes a pyromancer on their side.

Storm: The most hard hitting attackers, but they fizzle quite frequently and have no powerful group attack. Also no heals, lowest accuracy and health. Their best attack has a 10% chance to hit. All conpensated by extremely powerful attacks, but that is pretty much all their good for.

Ice: Best defenses and health, but overall lower hitting attacks. Good for keeping teams alive and usually are the last people standing in a fight. with good preparation, their spells can be devastating, but that is also their disadvantage because it takes them a long time to fight.

Life: a great class to have in your team, they are by far the best healers. This is countered by having the lowest hitting spells, but that is what secondary schools are for, right? Their role is to heal, and they do it excellently.

Myth: can summon powerful minions and are able to keep them strong and alive. Opposite of fire, they excel in solo fights due to their minions. Also have some powerful attacks. However, they can rely too much on their unpredictable minions.

Death: by sapping opponents health to increase theirs, and having better than average attacks, they are something of a cross between storm and life. a lot of their attacks involve sacrificing their own health, so thats one disadvantage.

Balance: the best buffers, they have a variety of shields that come in packages of three, along with charms that also come with three in one card. Their powerful spells rely on the elemental triangle, like hydra and spectral blast. Like fire, they are great in groups but for their buffs and not for their attacks. Masters of balance are very versatile and can overcome any class or enemy. The disadvantage here is similar to ice, with their need of preparation and lower spell power.

Overall, classes are not defined by their hitting power, but each has their own advantages and disadvantages. Storm is NOT the best just because they have high damage. Think of the fizzles, the low health, and the exclusion of healing and good shields. you have to pick the class that fits your own style, and not by their power. Now that thats all cleared up, go master your school and show everyone your class is not anything to sniff at!

OK HOLD IT THERE!! Balance is the best school! Ok, first of all, spectrical blast DOES in fact hit high. It can hit high if you have the right clothes on and use the right buffs. SECOND OF ALL power nova cames in ver handy. ACTUALLY the weakest rank 7 spell is Rebirth because it doesn't hit at all. HYDRA comes in handy when you are facing another balance person because IT DOESN'T COUNT AS BALANCE POWER. I think balance is the best because it has the power of the elements! So this is my proof that balance CAN IN FACT be the best school when in the right conditions.

ALL WRONG! AGAIN!
Rebirth is an amazing spell Using guiding light, you can heal 900 to all with a spirit shield that 1300 health TO ALL! Spectral Blast hits high if you get lucky when you trap, Hydra is weak, 190 on 3 elements? that means you gotta use 3 different blades and traps!

I agree with those who believe all schools have their strengths and weaknesses. Balance is actually very important. They are ecxeptionally skilled at increasing the amount of damage, and manipulating the course of the battlefield .Again there are no "best and worst schools", there are only preferences, that are sometimes manipulated by only being able to see one schools weaker points, and anothers strong ones.
