which wizard do you prefer the most? (empire)
I've been testing out wizards in custom battles where i have a lord 8 halberd units then a wizard against 13 chaos warriors and 2 chaos great weapons. So far Light wizard manages to do okay against them with banishment and the gaze of cheese. But then i tried amber wizard with the griffon mount. and oh lawdy he wrekt.

Spam overcast flock of doom on the blobs over and over then once mana is down charge in with the griffon and munch time. Why does Gelt have to suck so bad compared to hero wizards? :(

as a side note is there a mod that switches gelt's lore to the lore of the wild? XD and maybe he can have a griffon too?

Why would you? He is the patriarch of metal, just look at him:) As for the griffon, I think this can help: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=694078335&searchtext=

Problem is Lore of Metal suuuuucks in this game.

As to favorite wizard.. I haven't experimented much with the new lores. I played a little beastmen, but I still couldn't even tell you which lore had which spells. As far as the Empire goes though, Fire has always been a good lore to me. Fireball is one of few spells you can trust to at least do some damage in my experience, and the buff spells are nice as well.

Bright wizards are the best IMO

Lore of Metal is ok, but I prefer lore of death.

We can only hope for CA to add amethyst wizard, though i would prefer grey wizards personaly.
Amber so far is the best between manticore summoning, ridiculous damage on overcasted amber spear and effects of flock of doom. Also griffin's blood roar is pretty usefull too.

I am still with the Bright wizard, but Amber is close now - Well, I am biased as those were the main wizards from Horned Rat and Dark Omen. The other two ... guess Light Wizard I like the least, he just seems too ... dunno, unspectacular to me ^^
Fragoos 13 Aug, 2016 @ 11:56am 
Ithink it is the light wizard? With the spell that freezes a unit in place for easy ganking.

Bright Wizard has the best spells IMHO with some offense and some defense. Still...if your timing is good and you can hit with the Comet, the Celestial is good.

Light Wizard & Celestial Wizard is pretty good. Overcast Net + Handgunners + Overcast Comet can deal insane damage. Espeically to blobs. Kinda hard to pull off though the Comet needs impecable timing to hit.

Bright Wizard is a good all-rounder.

Amber is a decent damage dealer. But amber spear is great damage and pierces through mutiple units( kinda like wind of death but narrower).

Celestial is good all around IMO

Light is good but Situational

I really wish Wizards had passive abilities and skills that increase spell damage and effectiveness, lowering mana cost, decreasing cooldown etc. They could have really gone in depth on magic but didn't it has allot of potential In Warhammer.

I typically take celestial. Although i think celestial magic needs a slight buff.

Metal Needs to be reworked but other wise I always preferred light wizard.

Actualy, i have no idea why the Empire still do not has gold wizard, when we already have Gelt.
Lore of metal also is in need of some buffs. Gold wizards are perhaps the most usefull in military for a variety of ways their magic can be used to help. And Gelt is suposed tobe badass. HE IS THE FREAKING SUPREME PATRIARCH. He won the freaking duel for the title of the strongest wizard in the Empire.

Ikr its just a big kick in the balls to Magic Lore in general and Gelt himself.
