Dark Wizard - MU REALM

Dark Wizard All classes

Ranged spell caster: wide area damage, teleport and a damage shield for the party.

Dark Wizard → Soul Master → Grand Master

The Dark Wizard hits whole packs from range with spells and is the fastest class at clearing crowds. He is fragile up close, so you play around range, Teleport and Soul Barrier. Energy is the core stat, and Strength and max Mana also feed his spell damage here.

Starting Strength: 18
Starting Agility: 18
Starting Vitality: 15
Starting Energy: 30
Points per level: 5

What every stat does

Strength: Adds to wizardry damage (Strength / 24 to Strength / 12) and gives the most SD of any stat for this class (5 SD per point). Also needed to wear gear.
Agility: Cast speed (Agility / 10), attack rate, defense (Agility / 8) and defense rate.
Vitality: 2 HP per point and 4 SD per point.
Energy: Main damage stat (Energy / 9 to Energy / 4 wizardry), 2 Mana per point, which adds more wizardry, Soul Barrier strength and length, and the Energy needed for higher spells.

Builds

Energy Wizard (hunting) Most points in Energy, Agility for cast speed and defense, Strength and Vitality only for gear and survival. Highest spell damage and the big Energy spells (Nova needs 1820, Decay 953). Best for clearing maps.

Energy + Strength Wizard (PvP) Energy first, then a real share in Strength and Vitality. Strength adds wizardry and gives 5 SD per point, Vitality adds HP and 4 SD per point, so you last longer against players without losing much damage.

Formulas

Exactly how the server works it out. Every division rounds down.

Wizardry damage (min / max) min = Energy / 9 + Strength / 24 + Mana / 60; max = Energy / 4 + Strength / 12 + Mana / 50. Mana here is your max Mana from Level and Energy plus Mana buffs (item +Mana options do not count). Then + spell damage and + the staff's wizardry %.

Physical damage (min / max) Strength / 8 to Strength / 4, plus weapon damage

Attack speed / magic speed physical = Agility / 20, magic = Agility / 10, each x 0.862, then + weapon, gloves and pendant speed; capped at 799

Attack rate (PvM) Level x 5 + Agility x 3 / 2 + Strength / 4. Hit chance on a monster = 1 - monster defense rate / your attack rate. If your rate is below the monster's, only 5 swings in 100 land and they do 30% damage.

Attack rate (PvP) Agility x 4. Hit chance % = 100 x yourRate / (yourRate + targetDefenseRatePvP); the level gap between the two does not change it

Defense Agility / 8 + armor defense. A player's Defense blocks half its value from every hit taken.

Defense rate (PvM) Agility / 3 + item defense rate; +10% with a full matching armor set

Defense rate (PvP) Level x 2 + Agility / 4

HP 30 + (Level - 1) + Vitality x 2

Mana (Energy + Level - 1) x 2

AG Strength x 0.2 + Agility x 0.4 + Vitality x 0.3 + Energy x 0.2

SD (Strength x 500 + Agility x 130 + Vitality x 400 + Energy x 130) / 100 + Level x Level / 30 + Defense / 2

Soul Barrier (Mana Shield) damage taken -(Energy / 4000 + max Mana / 2500) %, max 30%; lasts Energy / 200 seconds; covers every party member in range

Nova extra damage (Strength / 10 + max Mana / 10) x 2 / 4 / 40 / 100 after about 1 / 2 / 4 / 6 seconds of charge

Wizardry Enhance (Magic Circle) min wizardry + (Energy / 9) x 20 / 100 for 1800 seconds

Teleport defense rate x 8 for 2 seconds after each teleport (PvM and PvP)

Combo + 50% Agility + 35% Energy + 45% max Mana. Combo hit = double damage plus the bonus above; +7% for each debuff on the target (Ice, Poison, Ice Arrow, Fire Slash) and +1% per 50 Set Bonus. The second and third skill must follow within 6 seconds.
