Hello Wizards. I have one spot left on my Wizard101 account to do one more wizard. That wizard is either Fire or Death. I am leaning towards Fire at the moment but would like to bear from the Death's side. I have been playing this game for 6 years and know about each school. I tested them and both liked them. Please recommend some insights such as Wintertusk spells, shadow spells, and spell quests.

Anyway, I've heard Death is easier to solo, though I haven't played either extensively. Death also gets Feint for free, while other schools have to spend 7 training points for it.
Death is great if you solo a lot. It needs no help except on the hardest bosses and dungeons. Drain ability means you pretty much always end the battle fully healed. Death also makes a great support school when you do choose to play as part of a team, with it's ability to blade/trap for any school, heal and weaken opponents it allows you alternate roles between support and hitter as needed. Fire is really much more just a hitter. It really depends how they fit your chosen play style. I personally don't like DoT, but that's a matter of differing play styles.
Thanks everyone! I didn't like DOT about two years ago, but once Spinysaur and a few other DOT spells came out, I actually do like it. I plan on going with fire after talking to my friends as well. Later on, I may delete my Balance Wizard, but for now there will be no Death wizard.
