The Ultimate Wizard Guide | Dark & Darker Early Access

[@RealApollo]

Because of recent nerfs magic power is almost a necessity now so try to build it to at least 50% with the same level of priority as movement speed and health. Meditation is a worth skill to use now and is no longer troll.

[@Clamp7777]

So is magic power better than add mag dmg now?

[@RealApollo]

@Clamp7777 no, magic power is still worse

[@Clamp7777]

@@RealApollo Okay so to clarify, still focus true mag and add mag on every piece possible still? I guess I’m a bit confused on your original statement about mag power

[@RealApollo]

@Clamp7777 yes the magic power focus is the same priority as health and movement speed. So build all 3 at the same time and keep an equal balance but all other priority stays the same like knowledge and add/true damage.

[@Clamp7777]

@@RealApollo ah okay that makes sense, thank you!

[@funnywackysillyman7780]

Playing wizard rn feels like playing as an armless legless child fighting putbulls

[@User_-mu8bt]

yeh if any other class gets close u are fucked

[@mrlillian1]

To me it seems like as Wizard some match-ups are unwinnable, and some are really really easy. I play solo, i find rogues and locks really hard to deal with, the rest is ok as you destroy PDR and can kite barbs easily. I destroy druids, bards and surprisingly don't find rangers a nuisance. Zap is really good to deal with rangers at mid-range

[@seancull781]

@@User_-mu8bt thats always how wizard has been ? its a squishy class

[@RealApollo]

@seancull781 but it used to do more damage

[@mangipower8283]

the thing is, its bad in solos and when you have little gear, when you reach like 55 knowledge and some gear with good rolls its switches to wizard being really strong actually

[@mileyjames4229]

You forgot to say, magic lock is extra good in inferno/hell, because you can’t break doors

[@Btk780]

This is the best in depth explanation of any classes perks and skills ive seen. You really should do every other class too

[@Btk780]

Fr u should I've never heard anyone explain the types of damage and scaling like this

[@michacieloszyk6971]

Damn man, good stuff. It's the first time I see prepared content like that from you and it really shows the amount of work you put in this. Impressive stuff.

[@charleshixon3558]

Ice mastery is amazing. Spell overload + Ice Mastery + Ice Armor and Intense Focus works really well. If you get caught in melee you can instant cast ice bolt to get some space and when you have enough space you can just chain cast it to kill pretty much any class.

[@CColetrainn]

Great video. Been watching you for about a year to learn how to be a better trios wizard. Keep it up. And if you could be nicer to your teammates sometimes that would be a W. ❤

[@DokjaTTV]

Great guide bro! Definetly helped me with the spell tips and tricks.

[@willdallskarid]

thanks man I really appreciate your video, you got a new subs! Nice work

[@debeschko5954]

Yup i learned a whole lot, thats why i subscribed best Wizard player i know.

[@babywithtinnitus7]

Finally he makes a wizard guide

[@matfinger2]

nice, you should do an accurate guide for 0-25 gs cause it will be different

[@kikyska4813]

Wish there was a section on Wizard Weapons yeah its prob boils down to "use these 3 nothing else" but just mentioning some weird Crossbow build would have been nice

[@RealApollo]

The only meta options are spellbook and crystal sword, or staff for bonk build everything else is just too bad to even mention and just for fun.

[@dmeolu]

You say Meditation is not good. But how do you get enough firewood to do sustained spellcasting?

[@TheRitoByte]

Land your spells, if you are in duo or trio your team should camp you immediatly

[@EdWuncler3rd]

Spell overload also helps that a lot of

[@MrBahBZ]

The problem with this guide is it assumes you have the gear to give you enough memory capacity run it. For new wizards all the way up to early-mid players, it isn't applicable.

[@RealApollo]

I talk about all levels of gear and getting 10 spell is like the very first thing you can get past base kit. And you can run like 8 spells in base kit.

[@goten3965]

I got every character to level 20 and wizard was BY FAR the most difficult every single pvp fight I lost and I’m not a bad player at all…… (for whoever’s wondering what the easiest was it’s cleric) legit only died once and it was to not getting to an extract in time not a pvp loss I won all 8 pvp fights I took and never even went below half health…..)

[@noniymyordenadorelbobo1001]

Would be nice to see a guide for inferno as a solo wizard and not a guide to cheese the mobs

[@RealApollo]

Ryan6daysaweek has good guides for how to fight mobs, its universal and not really class specific.

[@noniymyordenadorelbobo1001]

@@RealApollo Ty man i played rogue 1 years ago and taked a break of the game till 1 week ago now I started playing solo wizard and it's very hard, yesterday i went down to hell for the first time i saw a berserker outside the my spawn and berfore i noticed i had a demon dog eating me, so ty for your help

[@Captain_Willlow]

New player to the game and wizard looks really cool, should I try out wizard or is it just gonna be an awful experience for a new player? Mostly planning on playing solos and duos

[@RealApollo]

Sorry for the late reply, wizard rn especially outside of trios is in an awful state. However if you get good at wizard now you'll be really good once it inevitably gets buffed

[@arrozcombife192]

Great vid !! But i still have a question about the headgear, isn`t the WIZARD HAT worth it ? Like comparing to the LEATHER CAP ? Im a new Wizard player, and im still lost about some things.

[@matysepron1520]

Oh wow great video! Just started playing Dark and Darker a week ago and fell in love with the Sorcerer class. But from what your saying I’ve been going at it all wrong, my friend (who has WAY more experience that I do at this game) told me that Will was the most important stat for sorcerer so I’ve been focusing building up will only, getting a total Will score of like 45-50…

[@bramez4757]

New to wizard. I always have been running meditate. If not, won’t you run out of spells? If you are clearing and fighting players how do you have enough spells to continue into the red dungeons?

[@Melyster]

Campfire Kit have the same function, you can buy them at the wood merchant.

[@michaeldemild6246]

Always wondered why no one uses the quarterstaff over crystal sword especially with things having magic defense now and magic power not being very meta. Is there a secret I don't know 😅

[@RealApollo]

It's because of the attack pattern and the fact that you stack magic damage and crystal sword scales off of magic dmg.

[@oXoChEzZaoXo]

YES tha GOAT has blessed us.

[@Talon12318]

Do any of the races have anything to offer wizard? Early or late game? I kind of want the lizard skin. Also, what about the magic power stat. I might have missed you mentioning it, but the fact none of the armor you suggested has the stat I'm guessing it's not great.

[@krelekari]

they all have their different benefits. ork for staff mastery bonkage, lizard for armor and frost to damage mitigation stack (not very useful, low health anyways but lizard gang represent. also slightly faster because no helmet but hats dont reduce by much), elf if you want dex as most everyone does, now the lycan if you want slightly more base health and faster health recovery

[@Poker44I]

hiii, so good video thanks you so much ! Just a question, how did you unlock the nightmare skeleton skin ?

[@RealApollo]

You cant anymore as it was a previous season reward unfortunately.

[@lilrowbear]

Is ignite wizard just unplayable right now? I really enjoy the spellsword style.

[@RealApollo]

It's pretty bad, if you're looking to win a lot I wouldn't recommend it.

[@gus-juice]

very good vid, also how do you get that skeleton? can u still get it

[@RealApollo]

No it's a previous season reward sadly

[@Mioriosi]

is that the spell memory priority you set it as or is it different ?

[@RealApollo]

Spell memory priority doesnt really matter but lightning strike and explosion should be last

[@BuckyMF]

How is your Skeley skin grey? I've seen a icey blue one two. I only have the Elite and regular.

[@RealApollo]

It was a rank reward from previous seasons

[@jorgeregalado9012]

Finally let’s go 🎉!

[@Sasdagu]

Does Icespell synergize with Iceshield? Would be good for solo

[@RealApollo]

It does not, only works with ice bolt

[@Spider-yq1ez]

thank you, very helpfull

[@squashedkebab6927]

28:55 Does it really work? I was testing movement speed yesterday and apparently for a fraction of a second you lose ~40% speed when hitting the ground.

[@RealApollo]

Yes it works, you will lose some movespeed but you can keep a lot if momentum. It's really obvious when you are moving very fast like with the panther to chicken movement tech.

[@squashedkebab6927]

@@RealApollo I see now. I play with f2p bard, so I can't imagine when bhopping would be useful for me.

They are 2 different things, you can jump cast into bhopping which is the next step of that.

[@sbellcaster]

POG

[@N0Tsoftware]

Why you don’t prioritize will? There is will armor gives only -3 move speed. Isnt will most important thing since all the damage you do is scales with will? And if we dont have gear should we still go for those perks? Or get %10 magical damage perk?

[@RealApollo]

The reason I don't stack will is the amount of will you have to stack to gain a large bonus to dmg is worse than just getting health and move speed. For the perks the only thing I might change in low hear is to add quick chant instead of ice shield or instead of fire mastery in non-trios modes

[@N0Tsoftware]

@@RealApollo thank you so much mate. Since I am newbie I always play solo wizard on below 25 gear. These tips will help so many people. You great guy

[@TheAshtonville]

​@@N0Tsoftware Will has been nerfed so if you want more damage it is better to get Additional/True Magic Damage because the Scaling Graph for Will flattens really quick.
