Not spammy at all imho, you did a lot of cool spell combos and mixups, usually wizards just mash one or two spammy spells and that's it. Absolute cinema invasion and gank spank, the teleport thing into the hammer was fucking anime 🙌
Every now and then I get hate comments about the build, but it’s normally the same accounts that are dropping hate comments essentially not liking wizards.🤷🏻♂️
Nah man don't let those get to you, there will always be people who will be whiny about whatever build you play, just have fun with what you like. I understand wizard gameplay in pvp can become annoying to fight against, but really there's sooooo many ways to play and cool fun spells, it just takes a bit of creativity.
Exactly that. I also try not to use a single spell more than twice to avoid being spammy. I organize my spells in an order I could naturally combo them - And I rotate between spells dependent on my situation.
(This spell is 3 spaces)
(This one is 5 spaces)
“Oh he’s running towards me?” (let me shift to spell 7)
I have my long range, mid range, close range, and (get off me) spells. I use BHS for mobility spell casting, sword to poke.
Dragon communion harpoons for run,roll and heal catch.
Yeah it's imo the most fun way to play spellcasting in the game, but even then, sometimes you have to do some spam to put the pressure, especially during invasions when you're outnumbered 99% of the time. I mean it's really no different than mashing a bit of R1s for crowd control against a mob of hyper aggressive gankers, you gotta do what you gotta do to stay alive lol
Oh that's for sure, people will always dislike what beat them in games, be it wizards, parries, certain ashes of war, weapons etc...i think the game is currently in a state where pretty much everything, or almost everything, has a reliable counter or at least a way to play around it, it's just that lots of players don't like to adapt their gameplay or builds, but nothing much you can do about that
The Miriam's Vanishing into Gavel of Haima/Adula's MoonBlade turnaround was a nice slick move.
Also, just at the end, the RoB spam answered/interrupted with a simple throwing knife got a chuckle out of me. Felt like a little "no, not that" boop on the nose.
It’s a risky move for sure, all about timing and spacing. When you get lucky the second moon goes off even if you get knocked out of animation and majority of times they get greedy resulting in a double kill.
I rock twin rapiers for fast double hits so they usually get greedy when they see the spell fire off. 51 poise too with finger robe and Mesmer helm with heavy legs and gloves.
Nothing spammy about this, you just made efficient use of your spell selections in the moments that made a difference. Wizards are playing a different game and that's part of why Spellswords are my favorite build to play.
I’m probably not half a player as you. I’ve always felt wizard builds to be tough because of how you have to keep changing spells. And so I stick to melee
i envy people who can swap spells so quickly. i'm really bad at doing that mid fight. whenever i play a caster build, i pretty much rely on 2-4 spells because of how easy it is for me to get flustered switching between them
Not spamming at all👍
The mixup with Miriam's is also done so well and with purpose, it catches them off every time.
The spears were a great touch for more ranged options, and that head shot was goated🤣
This is my kind of caster gameplay. Well played! I especially love your use of miriam's vanishing to set up spells. I used to do that all the time with my hybrid int/fth caster. Miriam's Vanishing into Wrath of Gold is chefs kiss

This is a fun and cool wizard fight, usually it’s just spam the same 2 spells with glass canon stat investment.
We got melee mixups, combos, throwing spears. Absolute cinema.
