So maybe a few days ago i've been farming with my friend. I'm a life wizard level 62 at the moment. Life is known to have 90% accuracy and then when I casted something like rebirth? I was super surprised I fizzled. This has been going on and I saw life fizzle 3 times. Whats up with that?

Yes, Life fizzles too. You may want to check your stats. My life wizard has 0% accuracy and is level 70. I do fizzle occasionally but that is part of the game. And by the way, my gear is all WW except the boots.

Not sure, it is a random thing, but my life never fizzles, she only has a tad bit of accuracy added to her via clothes/gear but still fizzing is very rare for me, mostly only happens when my Forest Lord tries to throw his pet spell, he gets nervous and almost always fizzes.

IF you are concerned, look for gear and clothes that add life accuracy.

90% is not 100%... Life has a 10% possibility of fizzling for any spell (except the fairy/pixie) each time you cast a spell.

I've' had it happen too.. .and it really does surprise me too. :)

Computers are not truly random, and algorithms love to lump the high and low results together. I think it's happened to me in every MMORPG I've played. I get a bunch of misses together then criticals.
