Here are some advantages and disadvantages of the schools.
Storm:
Advantages: Strongest school in the game. Gets tempest at level 28 (Attacks all enemies at 85 damage per pip) Disadvantages: Lowest base health in the game. Low chance to cast (70%)
Life:
Advantages: Lots of healing spells Starts with decent base health Disadvantages: Semi-low attacks Don't get first attack all spell until level 58
Myth:
Advantages: Great for soloing (Lots of minions) Some attacks have two hits (etc Minotaur) Disadvantages: Not-so-great attack power
Fire:
Advantages: Second best damage Over-time spells Disadvantages: Second-lowest chance to cast
Death:
Advantages: Attacks and heals at the same time Disadvantages: Low damage/low healing
Ice:
Advantages: Highest base health in the game Tower Shield Disadvantages: Lowest damage in the game
Balance:
Advantages: Mixes all the school combined Disadvantages: Low damage
Remember though, even if you don't like the disadvantages that a wizard has (ex: ice wizard has low damage), you can always get gear to boost these disadvantages. For example, my ice wizard has 54% extra damage, and he's only a low level. That's a considerably good amount for a level 30. This was from my pet and my gear.
Also, all schools are obviously able to solo the game, if that's what you're into. KingsIsle wouldn't make it impossible to beat by yourself, but it could get difficult, especially for final dungeons, but they are still beatable.
The disadvantages obviously unwanted, but their advantages certainly make up for it. Storm has an insane amount of damage but a high fizzle rate as stated above, but the damage they deal certainly makes up for their fizzling, and as I said before, there's always gear to help.
The school you pick really depends on what you like. My favorite is death , because I like undead/ghoulish related stuff, and I love healing myself! My strategy (although it may be a bad one, it works for me ) is very simple. I do what lots of people do. I blade myself and trap the enemies. My health can get pretty low, but that's not a problem for death wizards. I heal myself right up when I attack.
If you're into the living and magical fairy creatures like unicorns, then life is for you. If you like myths and stuff such as cyclops, myth is for you (obviously).
It's not all about the themes of the schools, but it doesn't necessarily have to be all about stats.
Oops. I forgot. I said earlier that my strategy is to blade myself and trap the enemies and then attack before I die, and it always works for me. I just figured some people would think, "What if you fizzle on your attack?"
Well, first of all, death has only a 15% fizzle chance. That might convince people not to worry about it, but trust me, as a death wizard, you will still fizzle. Even life wizards fizzle. Life wizards have a 10% chance of fizzling, which is not 0%. They can still fizzle. HOWEVER, I have gear that allows me to not fizzle, which is what I talked about before. My pet and gear give me 16% additional accuracy, which gives my attacking spells a total of 101% chance of working. Obviously, accuracy decreasing spells such as weakness can make me fizzle, but I increased my chances of not fizzling with my gear and my pet.
I'd say to go for death because that's my school, but it's your choice! Death is, as stated above, great for soloing. So, if you don't really have any friends, death is for you XD (not that you can't make friends, but you don't have to)
Balance is great for teamwork, because you can blade your friends with spirit and/or element blades, and trap the enemies. Death can heal when they attack, but balance can't (unless their secondary school is death, but even if it is death, they can't get the school specific death spells).
There are no shields protecting against balance except for tower shield, but for death, its obviously death shield and tower shield.
Those are some pros and cons, but that's pretty much it with all the information above. Pick the school that best fits you! Or you can try taking a ton of wizard101 "What school are you?" quizzes and see which school you got the most. Have fun with the school you pick!
