A serious Wizard thread.

[Ed Venture]

No but honestly, now that nuke has been steamrolled into a palpable and enjoyable gamemode

Speak for yourself. New Syndie rounds need alot more work till it's "good" and it was added into the game before it was finished at the current moment new syndie is just Team Deathmatch with a big explosive.


Do I think wizard mode should be reworked like syndie mode? Hell no. IF it got handle like new nuke did it will be sloppy as hell and I rather not sit though months of another broken game mode before it got little fixes making it somewhat playable again. Could it use some changes? Sure I think so but you seem to just want all the powerful spells nerf into oblivion including Clown's revenge and I simply disagree with nerfs like that. Sure Fireball could use a nerf but not one that completely makes it useless. I will now explain why the other spells are ok where they are. Spells like Shocking grasp takes a good three/five seconds to work and anything can happen when you are trying to use it, anything from being shot/tased to getting caught and having to run away or succeeding. Maybe the time it takes can be increased?
Rathen's Secret removes butts and stuns people and is only good for two reasons. One to give the wizard a laugh or to combo with another spell. Clown's Revenge is literally perfect and does not even need to be nerfed shame on you for thinking otherwise. I've been cluwned by a wizard and later got my revenge on him for it.

So in a nutshell do I think it could use a reworking. Yeah I do, I Agree that fireball could use a slight nerfing and that shocking grasp timer should be increased. Do I agree that all powerful spells should be nerfed into the ground. Hell no that would be sucking all the fun out of being a wizard. One thing people forget is that antags are meant to be OP. You have a point in wanting the wizard to be more balanced something can still be powerful and balanced at the same time. But not if you nerf it into the ground. Coders if you do rework wizard in the form of new nuke then please wait until it's finished and not in a broken mess before you add it into the game and maybe, just maybe have a discussion with the community if you seriously got to change it.
