Wizards (and Witches) are known for their prudence on the battlefield. At the cost of long incantations, they have powerful area attacks. Based on elements such as fire, water, earth and wind, their spells inflict significant damage and are also for many of them capable of hampering the progress of enemies.
Philosophy
Magicians are equipped with a staff and a dagger, and while it is perfectly possible to type with it it is obvious to everyone that this is not where the interest of the class lies.
Indeed, Magicians rely mainly on long incantation spells that can be divided into 2 categories.

- The first includes powerful spells of more or less wide area with more or less range but all having a significant cooldown.
It includes skills such as Blizzard, Earthquake or Meteor Shower. - The second concerns spells significantly more modest but working in two stages. Indeed each of them is paired with a second spell that can only be used after the first while respecting a more or less precise timing.
Added to this are various more classic skills such as magic projectiles and a whole range of support skills.
Strengths and weaknesses
- Good AoE Attacks
- Good continuous damage
- Numerous crowd controls
- Good support skills
- Weak defense especially on contact
- Short active dodge
- Few quick attacks
- Long cooldown for large spells
Getting started
Rather than displaying yet another copy of the skill tree present in the game, and to be able to understand them more easily, the skills have been deliberately reorganized.

2-stroke skills
As explained previously, some spells are designed to be eventually followed by a second which can only be used on this occasion.
In all cases, the second skill is activated with 
. Use immediately after initial spell impact.
Massive Long-Coold Skills
Situational skills to use when the opportunity arises. Note that their cooldown is really too long to do without the above skills so it is strongly recommended not to try to max all these massive skills at first, you will not have enough points quickly enough.
Mana Regeneration
Fortunately, in addition to all these manavores skills, the Magicians have several skills to recover Mana.
Utility and Movement
The basic Dodge is certainly "wall pass" (through enemies) but has a ridiculous range that does not improve. Also it is strongly advised to make abundant use of:
Teleportation with
. It can also be useful to place it in the quick shortcut bar for times when you want to use it while moving forward. Indeed if you do not do it, it will be necessary to stop moving forward before being able to use the combination of keys.

Support skills
As we saw above, Magicians have excellent support skills. You already know the Healing Aura, let's see the others.

Characteristics orientation
Unless you absolutely want to play your Magician with Staff and Knife, the characteristics to favor are
- Casting Speed
- Critical Hit Chances
It goes without saying that this constitutes an initial guide and is not intended to exhaustively represent the different ways of playing, in particular the more exotic. On the other hand, there are deliberately synthetic references specific to the class in question.
Thus were deliberately excluded the use of the character in mounts or its use in specialized roles like pure support or group PVP.
However, if on reading it you find that you have missed information, or if you have had the inspiration to write a more specific guide, do not hesitate to let us know.
