Perfect World Wizard Guide

[updates]

The advanced guide to wizard

1. Class Role

• PvP: AoE DPS + Crowd Control. Strong in group fights and weak in 1 on 1 situations.
• PvE: Powerful AoE Burst Damage. Trash Mob Killer.

2. Sage/Demon Decision

Sage

Pros:

• At Lv.99, Heart Sutra grants extra Crit.
• Hill's Seize has a very short cooldown when hitting multiple enemies.
• A variety of AoE skills. Good at burst AoE damage.

Cons:

• - Long casting-time.
• - Low attack speed. Relies on Sacred Books and Master Map to make up for it.

Demon
Pros:

• Good at crowd control.
• Heart Sutra allows you to chain multiple instant skills.
• The rare skill at Lv.79 is equal to the 3rd core skill of Black Tortoise, providing excellent survivability.

Cons:

• Long skill cooldowns.
• Mediocre damage. Mostly support/crowd control.

3. Equipment

Soulstones

• 3 versions (The 1st Soulstone is fixed. You may choose the 2nd and 3rd as you want):
• Low-rank: 4 Attack, 8 Crit, all Viciousness, all Tenacity, all Benevolence.
• Mid-rank: all Pugnacity, 8 all Crit, 5 Viciousness, all Tenacity, all Benevolence.
• High-rank: 3 Pugnacity 2 Attack, 8 all Crit, 1 Viciousness 4 Hit (or all Hit), all Tenacity, 6 all Evasion.

Sacred Books

• Low-rank: Lv.6 The Creator, Lv.5 Rouge and Red Lips, Lv.4 Battle Tactics (Tears of Red in Realm War), Lv.4 Appetites of Spring, Lv3. Sunset Tales
• Mid-rank: Lv.6 The Creator, Lv.6 Existential Woe, Lv.6 Tears of Red, Lv.5 Rouge and Red Lips, Lv.4 Appetites of Spring
• High-rank: Lv.6 Moonshot, Lv.6 The Creator, Lv.6 Existential Woe, Lv.6 Tears of Red, Lv.4 Appetites of Spring

Tip: Before reaching 50% Crit, Rouge and Red Lips is stronger than Moonshot. Only replace Rouge and Red Lips with Moonshot when you have 50% plus Crit.

Master Map
Main Pneuma: Hydra
Support Pneumas: Highly recommend the Master Map Set: Earthshaker, Aike, Zephyr, and Hillbreaker, which provide a great dps boost.

Artifact

• Insight Mirror: Provides healing dampening.
• Chaos Bell: The most versatile option.
• Use Purgatower as the progression artifact when you are upgrading any better artifacts.
