Last week I confirmed via mentorhelp that wizards cannot select the same spell multiple times...actually they can but nothing comes of it.
I suggest removing the limitations and simply letting wizards have these same spells on separate cooldowns. Given how fragile and inconsistent wizards are I don't think this will "break" the round terribly...granted some potent combinations come to mind, 4 pandemoniums, 4 shocking grasps...also some useless ones, multiple blinks or cthulhu staffs.
My honest intentions here are to achieve my dream of a "turbocluwne" setup, either 4 clown's revenge or 3 clown's revenge and a Rathen's secret
.
Gonna cross my fingers here and hope for the best.

What Weavel said, for reals, but maybe adding a Haste spell that shortens cooldowns could be cool?

I'm pretty sure fireball only takes about 10 seconds to cool down; so you'd have wizards firing explosives with the RPM of a gatling gun.

Alright fair enough about the fully-automatic fireballs heh.
My last few wizard rounds I have tried to cluwne the crew up and 60 byond seconds is a bit much imo, I dig the haste spell idea but I was fishing for something easier on the coders.
If the haste spell is do-able in some form awesome (perhaps something along the line of a "buff" like soulguard where you spend a spell point and get X% cooldown reduction off of all spells or more likely a chosen spell), if not maybe just a reduction off of the Clown's revenge cooldown?
also...fireball has a 10 second cooldown?!?!...good lord.

I have thought of allowing wizards to "upgrade" their spells so to speak. Like say you took Fireball, you could spend an extra point for Greater Fireball or whatever.

I think it might be cool if spells had tradeoffs for upgrades, like the greater fireball upgrade having a longer cooldown.
We also need more variety in the types of spell we can use, like instead of a fireball choose a lightning javelin spell that does massive damage on 1 person but no AOE.

Shocking grasp has a shorter cool down than cluwning. I dunno but that is pretty lame.
Also ISN I like that idea.

I don't know whether I should be horrified or exited about this.

heed my words isn, an upgraded fireball mightn't be the best idea.

Although it would be pretty funny to see a wizard take fireball 4 times and end up with a blast radius larger than the fireballs effective range.
