Maplestory 2 Wizard build - guide to magic and DPS in MS2

Whoever played an MMORPG game, has faced a magic-using, powerful entity, that wipes mob trains with a few clicks while staying away from the melee combat. His only job is to use the fire skills like some kind of a Fire Dragon, shoot ice bolts, shadow blasts, thunder arrow, etc. and top the total damage output attack stat charts. Once you see him in the enemy team, you know right away, that you have to kill him, or he will kill you all.

The Wizard.

MapleStory 2 Class Builds>>>

Wizard will do magic in the hands of these players, who are willing to utilize crowd control and AOE abilities. Let's look deep into spell book, to discover Nexon MapleStory 2 Wizard build and guide.

Wizard overview

Wizard is in possession of nearly limitless power, supreme mystical insight, and control of an excitable animal companion in the form of a puppy. One day she may become a mighty Archmage, but for now, she will refine her spells on the enemies roaming the Maple World.

Role: Magic, DPS

Weapon: Staff and wands

Attribute: Magic, Fire, Ice and Electric

Main Stats: Intelligence

Difficulty to play: 1/5

Wizard Pros and Cons

Pros:

Easy to play (low skill cap)

Can buff damage dealt by the party

Good DPM and high damage output

AoE damage skills

Great for fighting bosses

Can use multiple teleports for high mobility to dodge enemy attacks.

Cons:

Low resistance and poor defense

Abilities cost a lot of SP.

At the very beginning, you will have an opportunity to level up such skills as Arcane Blast, Magic Armor, Mana Font, Phantom Claw, and Teleport. Thanks to them, you will be able to modify your character to your gameplay likings and desires. Then at some point of the game when you need to cast Flame Wave > Phantom Claw > Flame Wave, your only worry should be the SP requirement. The damage output from Flame Wave spam is absolutely insane.

Priority of statistics on items

In the case of the Wizard, there's no easy, well-rounded formula to follow. You must adjust your statistics to the build you're using. If you still need a piece of advice, in terms of Weapon and Accessories your stats priority should go like this:

1. Piercing

2. Magical Piercing/Fire Damage/Magical attack/Ranged Damage

3. Accuracy/Crit Damage

4. Attack speed.

For PvP the Attack Speed should be prioritized right after the Piercing.

As for the Armour (with an exception for Uniques), it should look like this:

1. Boss Damage

2. Magical Attack

3. Health.

MS2 Wizard Skill Builds

Wizard PvP build:

Ice Spear is fully optional. It's only good, once you've mastered the jump strafe attack mechanic. And it's still temporary, until you will meat better player.

Your mainly usage skill every single time will be Thunderbolt, because it has a fast cast animation. Next on priority list is Flame Wave – it's hard to dodge for enemies, but can be jumped over. Flame Tornado should be used as an area denial, zone-control skill given how hard this is to hit.

It's good to put some points into Flame Tornado, though. It's very useful in stopping your enemies from coming at you with a giant wall of fire. Flame Tornado > Phantom Claw is a powerful combo, so if you like to spam Flame Tornado you should consider adding the other damage skill into the macro rotation. The damage per minute ratio should be impressive.

It's important to max out Mage Armour. It gives you an extra 24% HP for 10 seconds. It helps in sustaining through enemy damage burst or baiting them into overcommitting, so that you can kill them in return.

Also, keep in mind that Phantom Claw is an extremely useful skill for decloaking Assassins in stealth mode by spamming it in the direction you think they are. It is the easiest way to take them out in PvP.

MS2 Wizard PvE Build

In theory, it is the hardest hitting build for MS2 Wizard in PvE scenario. You can even take away some point from Arcane Blast to put them into the Thunderbolt, just because of the overall greatness of the latter. Although, it provides slightly more damage, it is a little bit more demanding cooldown and resource management-wise, since you have two skills that cost 40 spirit in the rotation. Usually, it will force you to weave in more Claw casts and deny you the ability to spam the Flame Wave.

Summary

That's it for the guide on playing MapleStory 2 Wizard. This class is highly recommended for every player, who likes to smash. With high damage skills, Wizard will do well in both dungeons and raids. Due to many teleport skills, he's getting mobile. Bosses and monsters should not pose much threat, if you are aware. You only need to switch your skill build between single target and AoE damage for different attributes. With team buffs, a good Wizard will be a nice addition to every party. However, keep in mind his cons. Squishy, SP and is gear reliant, requires a lot of awareness.
