Oh I definitely won't fault you for putting death at number 1, when it just came down to it I personally thought fire was a bit more superior because of it's incredible offense (it is my opinion though), as for life I mean I think all schools are fun to play for sure but life fell a little short compared to the others :/

[@guillaume7180]

As a myth main, I totally agree about the minion thing. I think I never used minions past Krokotopia ever as they become really bad later on and just overall useless. Their low health and damage just make them a waste of a turn. Maybe a way to fix them is by making them controllable by the wizard who summoned them, Pirate101 style. You can view their deck and select or discard spells. These would make them powerful and useful in later worlds, by being able to break shields or buff. This could be said for any school with a minion. However, I think that would make them a bit broken in PvP (correct me if I'm wrong), so it could be a PvE only feature.

[@legnd300]

This. Yes,yes,yes, absolutely yes!

[@jacobjohnson5635]

As a myth wizard, I would agree with the minion issue in regards to the main minions. The thing that makes myth amazing when using minions is by using the one's you get with monstrology (sorry if I spelled it wrong). All minions cost 2 pips no matter how strong they get. The perm minion spells you get are useless though, I agree

[@grilledcheeseaddict]

actually if you're soloing some really hard bosses, certain minions can be really good at keeping you alive like talos or minotaur. but yeah other than that minions are pretty bad

[@emilypetersen5404]

Honestly, I think life is worse then ice, because life’s main draw is healing. Healing uses up pips, which is inefficient in soloing. On my ice wizard, I never die and almost never use heals. If life and ice have similar stats, then life’s heals become more obsolete, unless you are on a team. No hate to life wizards though. I’m sure they are a godsend to low-health hitters in teams.

[@bricetriplett759]

I solo just fine on my life wizard, usually don't even run heals unless I'm doing something especially challenging but when I do that its usually not solo and I slide over to support. Once you get forest lord its pretty easy, though that is probably the toughest one to get imo for the lvl 48 AOE's.

[@bricetriplett759]

I've been trying to tell people that FL is broken once you get it. Two blades with FL will kill almost every enemy I've faced so far.

Personally I find balance a decent school while they don't have prisms they don't need it as they typically have spells that deal damage storm ice or fire damage, so their prism is literally built into a portion of their damage output. That way you don't need to waste a turn setting up a prism.

[@mikewazowski1816]

Death is number one by a HUGE margin I think. The swap half to health makes any death wizard who knows what they're doing basically invincible, and they have great damage as well.

[@gallifreyansoldier4265]

As an ice main, a lot of the points he made are very fair. Solo questing takes a long time, but you don’t die very often. It is very rare for me to be below half health even in boss fights. My main role in a group boss fight is to not die during a massive aoe so everyone who did die has a chance to flee, heal, and recall so we don’t have to start the fight over. It isn’t very glamorous, but it can be invaluable.

[@comet6184]

I play Ice and with a little bit of side questing it's really really fun to have loads of time to set up for a big one shot imo, and I don't get as scared as when I play storm, it feels so weak unless you have smart friends

Storm is amazing, but when you first start out, storm is practically obsolete without tempest because the spell doesn't come out until level 38. And there's no aoe until then

[@AlexandraM689]

What's worse regarding ice isn't lack of damage potential rather the fact they fail short in every role there is - not enough damage to be put in hitter category which is occupied by mostly storm and fire and also myth after latest update , not much utility to be a support which is held by death and balance , and can't heal like life, and tanking is now been done with jade gear by either death or life so ice isn't wanted in any way. Soloing is done best by death so even there ice fails short, so honestly ice only has pvp left , in which their max health and resist with weaver as a jackpot card shines bright

You put fire ahead because of the damage but death actually does a fair bit of damage, especially if you got a decent pet, combining that with the ability to heal a lot for free from your attacks and how you get feint for free. That healing ability is a major plus for it as because fire only has a small heal and then a slightly improved version in their school. If they want to heal, they have to use pixie or another life spell and if you dont have a mastery, that is going to impact your questing a lot. You'll have to go around and keep collecting wisps or going to buy potions whereas if you're death and you're in a dungeon you'll heal anything your attacker did while killing them and then you can move on immediately. Fire has a little bit more firepower in terms of damage on spells but with the right gear, death can certainly make up for it and kill just as easy. I will give fire one thing over death though and that is that it has a 4 pip aoe and death doesn't(until you craft/get from drop or pack deer knight or headless horseman). But you'll have to blade and maybe trap and then you'll have enough pips anyways. Overall, death is a much better school for solo questing than fire. However, the best school for anyone wanting to play is the school with the spells they think are the coolest and the type of way they want to play. Every school, if you play smart and have good gear, can be really powerful and strong.

I haven’t played this game in probably In about 5 years, just started again yesterday when I got recommended one of your videos

[@thelegendarymage9454]

I think we can all agree that the most effective schools are the ones that can both end fights quickly and prepare in case npcs are particularly smart today.

[@sirskyy9920]

I can literally solo everything fast using ice wdym lol

[@ceezar2381]

no one asked dude :/

[@sirskyy9920]

xo Ceezah cool stfu

[@misschaos4247]

It’s a comment section, a place where people go to discuss things related to the video?

[@misschaos4247]

Also yes, normally I’m all about stuff like fire or edge like death, but for some reason I’m super into my ice wizard, and honestly all that hp seriously is super useful when dealing with many things in the game, and also being able to give defense to myself and my allies, I was super shocked to hear ice as last.

[@BananaMash10]

How do you solo fast with ice?

[@luv.6enie]

And then there’s my cousin who hit 1 in a million on her life wizard

[@joellelaura1452]

As a storm character, thank you for letting me know which school to make my second.

[@Jcurly1]

used to play as a kid but now im old enough to buy the pay wall and man im having so much fun! currently a necromancer in mushu :)

[@supersaiyangodsupersaiyanm7886]

I’ve soloed most of the game with little to no issues on my ice

[@noahhuraan5353]

Tbh, ice is a btch to kill but they can pretty much solo all the worlds. Fire is always favored by KI and takes no skill whatsoever to use. Storm is always somehow doing less damage than Fire yet storm is supposed to be the school for damage output? Gotta love KI

[@daddymyers6286]

I needed this! I’ve had the game basically since it came out, but I never took it seriously and mainly bought houses and mounts lmfao. I’ve been playing on and off for years and only have my storm level 100, and he’s not even that good because I never really learn how to play correctly…

[@cosmicallysimple1371]

Dude I wish more KZbinrs were like you

[@FormalPhantom]

HAHA I appreciate it

[@gregoryholt9747]

I know I’m soooo late to this but I’m just seeing it. I was always a life wizard, and I’d argue it should have a better position. I was a solo player 85+% of the time and had no problem. Slow gameplay for sure, but it had a basic process to battles. Blading up and healing while waiting to do a killing blow. Both boss battles and regular minions were no problem due to the basic process of healing and stacking blades. The school gets 1000% better once forest lord is gotten… and in the max levels the multi hit lamassu or single hit hungry caterpillar. I will give you lamassu was a way better hit before debuff for sure! I also had such a good time in major dungeons being the team healer and protector while having some fun hitting once in a while. All around I think life school as it was originally was under appreciated. Also I never had a secondary school because I didn’t find it necessary. Thanks for reading lol 😁

[@kccandracula9253]

I'm having flashbacks of asking my older brother why he chose fire school and he said it was the strongest... He told me I should be balance school

[@penguosk]

I last played this so long ago that I literally forgot what my favorite and main school was

[@koalanate5549]

Started a new ice wizard and you literally never die or even get close to it, which was pretty nice coming from a storm wizard, but the kill time is definitely a lot longer

[@zenzenulous2243]

as someone whose main was Fire years ago, I hope to god that Fire is near the top Edit: YEAH BABYYYY

[@mattbalfe2983]

Honestly Balance is very weak in the 2nd arc, lack of blade stacking really hurts and you end up having to paper cut your way through mobs sometimes with power nova's ( with new update) and Sandstorms. This is particularly bad from Zafaria till you train sharpen blade in Azteca although it doesn't really resolve till you get nested fury at Lvl 108. Given that the second arc contains the most quests and takes the most time anyway means that balance isn't a very good questing school on the whole ( very good in arc 1 bc no balance shields, arc 3 you get nested and can use elemental blades with it.)

[@luluthorn5676]

I can state of slowly getting back into wizard101 with my ice wizard. Trying to get end enemies is a pain, I can take a lot of damage and heal myself but every battle feels like a hour

[@russmastermasterofrusses7463]

I personally love ice, mainly because I just love being able to take a colossus hit like it was a light punch in the tower shield.

[@trapgoddrake6330]

I’m a level 62 life, and i got forest lord when i got rebirth, idk if that’s a glitch but BOY did that make everything so much easier

[@deaththeclover]

Nope it’s not a glitch, it’s meant to be like that with the new update. They intentionally put Forest Lord as a level 48 spell, and buffed it in damage. Not sure why this wiz tuber didn’t mention that change.

[@trapgoddrake6330]

DeathTheClover i haven’t seen anyone mention it so i was so confused lol

[@seagullokapi]

10. You 9. Can't 8. Pick 7. A 6. Best 5. School 4. They're 3. All 2. Great 1. Ice

[@alexburch3421]

Fire and Death each have their own thing that sets them apart. Fire has its DOT, and very powerful single target hits, while Death has the debuff ability of balance along with being able to steal health with Lulu. Both are great for solo’ing and it’s really hard to name a true #1 out of those 2 schools IMO.

[@sarahshoe7013]

man I love this fire appreciation ❤️🔥

[@6ubble-gum]

im still so angry as a storm that so many of our spells were nerfed for the whiny pvp crybabies. our whole deal is to hit ridiculously hard and now we barely do as much as a fire. it's honestly infuriating me still to this day lmao

[@thiswowzer3217]

My God I'm ice 😂😂😂. When I started all that mattered was the aesthetic.

[@dance_ofThaDEAD]

I remember every time I played Life I always used to add in some other shcool cards just for their offensive spells

[@snakeslife-uroborodjinn790]

Tanks and healers are unable to solo in every MMO. Ice and Life were made specifically as either support classes for groups or secondary schools.
