Magicka anyone?

That "one hit kill" sword swing is useless nowadays. It "may" break a shield, but it won't kill outright unless they're completely naked.

The ice+ice+lightning+shield+arcane enchant is crucial though and has significantly better range and penetratrion.

Also, a lightning+fire+varient resist aura is vital to keep up as long as possible.

Earth+shield no longer selfcasts you in place. You move slower depending on the strength of earth, and it acts as a supplement hp like regular shield does. You can't have both. Also, Ice+Shield seems to act like a thorns/iron maiden type ability against melee while offering some protection. Get used to popping up ordinary shields to deflect beams onto themselves.

The tank robe is immune to bullets(godsend when someone picks up an m60). But extremely slow. The rogue robe is extremely fast but can't take more than a hit or two. Considering the strength of lag, I'd recommend against using rogue for a while.

Also found knife of counterstriking. Still drops, still legit. You can ban/allow different packs of items though.

Whats the verdict on PvP?

I can't play yet because THE THIRD GOD DAMN WD HARD DRIVE IN A ROW crapped out on my desktop.

I played a little bit yesterday, but I think I would prefer playing with some nox players. I will jump on a little bit today and maybe fraps a little bit of gameplay. Expect to see me get slaughtered.

Your arcane resist aura was cancelling your enchanted sword swing.

The more of one element you have in the aura, the larger the aura. Not stronger. So every time you went in to slice him, he was getting your arcane resist and it countered your sword swing.

Don't use the L+L+S+S+A Enchant. Its range sucks, and most of the time they'll be resisting arcane anyway since it'll trump beams.

The ice+arcane+lightning+shield enchant is way better. That's the enchant that makes the exploding lightning ice pillars.

is this how desperate we are for nox?

No

Whoops, my bad. That wasn't a question.

Honestly, even though plying the game is fun and all, i'm considering writing a PvP bot just to troll kids.

Yes Magicka is fun.

Notice how I didn't say MORE fun than nox. Fucking nobody gets on nox anymore all I play are shitty koreans.

Current Spells you must know for pvp:

Protective:

Lightning+Arcane+Fire+Shield - Negates all beams, fireballs, and lightning from one sword enchant.

Shield+Earth+Earth+Earth+Earth - The hardest armor you can wear versus physical attacks. It slows you down though.

Lightning+Arcane+Shield+Ice+Cold - The direct counter for the best sword enchant.

Enchant:

Lightning+Arcane+Shield+Ice+Cold - Creates four ice pillars that arc electricity and when they melt explode into arcane damage. Penetrates shields, and goes over mines. If you're not careful, you can kill/frost yourself with it though, so it's good to have one of the above protects already active.

Shield+Earth+Steam+Steam+Steam - Creates four rock pillars the have tremendous knockback. Touching one will generally result in being catapulted into a wall fast enough to instantly kill you.

Spells:

Generally, you'll want to cast either Coldball or Fireball because the protection spells don't cover one or the other. Two uncharged fireballs with 3/2fire+3/2earth will generally kill anyone on two direct hits.

Robe:

If you're in a game with a lot of patriot wizards, it's a good idea to wear tank armor. The tank wizard is almost completely immune to bullets. Only the Nagant can penetrate the armor. And it has pitiful dps so it's not a problem. Until people wise up to how shit guns are for the most part, this will make games easy.

If you can, use Rogue. The mobility+free teleport are hard to deal with. You're able to turn your back to the enemy in order to teleport directly onto them. You suffer having lower hp, but most kills are instant anyway. So getting them to connect or dodge others is most important.

The only time I'd ever suggest using bug wizard is when you're against people that like to grab high ground arc fireballs/coldballs/iceballs onto you. Just sit back, and let the summons stack up. Eventually they'll have to come down. In otherwords, don't use bug unless it's on Watchtower. It's no better than anything else otherwise.
