One problem I have is solo fighting a balance boss. All the other schools have a convert spell that changes their attack to the opposite school. but there is no opposite for balance. I would like to see a balance spell that would convert the attack into maybe a random school type. I know that balance has hydra and chimera that attack with other school types, but when you are in the higher worlds fighting a boss that has 13000 plus health, well those spells really don't do much against them. Then when you use a stronger spell even with blades and traps, the boss's resist is so strong that you hardly do any damage to them.
I really would like to see a convert for balance come up in the future. maybe make it for the higher level wizards to have because that is where it is needed.
Balance doesn't need a prism. It's part of the strength of balance, there is no shield to it, therefore no prism. If you think Chimera can't do much against a boss with only 13,000 health, you're doing it wrong. Spectral Blast works great too. Blade, trap and feint first. There won't be a prism added for Balance, it would require changing the school too much, to the point of making Balance a useless school.
The whole idea behind the school of balance is that it is made up of all the other schools combined. That is why balance does not have a school specific shield, blade, or anything else. To add a balance prism to the school would defy the laws of balance, and would also result in a school specific shield, blade, etc also being needed. Not having school specific charms and wards is what makes Balance so unique.
As far as questing goes, just expect it to be tough :( . Balance is by far the most tricky class to solo quest with, especially at the higher levels. I totally feel your pain!
Find some questing partner-- that's the best advice I can give you!

Balance has the joy of having spells from every school. So you don't need a convert... I have a level 90 balance gal. Just hit them with chimira (sp?) Balance boss most of the time boost to life/death/myth against them. No we can't go and Ra them or go all sabertooth on them.. but we have work arounds.

Seethe isquite right, I have a balance wiz and use all of the techniques/spells he mentioned it also helps to use spells from your second school, in my case that's life which happens to have a boost against Balance as do all spirit based school spells, also try casting elemental diffuse to stop spectral blast attacks
I think they should make spirit and elemental prisms. Since balance has no opposite, that is the most reasonable. How it would work: The prism would convert balance randomly to myth death or life for spirit prism, and fire ice or storm for elemental prism.

OK so i seen a lot of wizard complain about the balance not having one so here my ideal for it
so here what i thinking.
sent balance is all the classes why not make the covert be a random thing where you place it on what ever enemy and it will covert you balance magic into what ever will boost on them.
so lets say your a wizard your battling a boss or wizard well the convert would only be able to be used by the balance wizard sent it there class thing well the covert would covert you balance magic into magic the opposite of and when you facing you own class it just pick a random school to turn you magic into.
boom problem solve
pvp wont be affected because people have there shield to there opposites so you convert really wouldn't do you any good there
balance resistance monsters well now you have a way around them.
stop people from crying on the message bored about not having converts.
Grey rose if you see this topic and see my post plz tell me what you think of it.
You can buy all the mass prisms in Avalon That way, as Balance, you can have 6 convets... Problem Solved...???? Over half your attack spells as Balance are other schools anyway So this way, you have 6 useful converts, while the other schools only have 1

This would mean spending training points that Balance should not have to spend. Further still, that would not entirely be helpful. Spectral blast is random, so you would have to sit 3 rounds for a prism, if they show in your deck, or hope that the blast matches whichever prism you placed. Hydra would break your traps out of order between the fire and ice, making the damage not as significant or worth the headache of adding prisms to your strategy.
It is not a matter of converting the balance spells that hit as elements or spirit, but in fact about BALANCE spells themselves translating (Judgement, Ra, Nova, etc.) into another school.

It's a non-issue. The amount of pierce available and the multiple off school damage spells that Balance can use already make this totally unnecessary.
