I'm so glad someone's watching the numbers. This is a scathing commentary on the ineptitude of Kingsisle's design team. Why? Just... WHY??? This demonstrates a total lack of imagination on their parts. They, obviously, don't know how to put up a fight. So, they nerfed everything!
Fire's best spell now, right until Bull, is Dragon. It does over 1000 damage (more than last week, mind you), and cancels out any need to use Efreet, Rain, and Serpent. It's an absolute disgrace and makes Fires obsolete.
Anton-Constantin thats EXACTLY what they’re doing this for. PvP players always complain about how the spells are broken and unbalanced which is why this started in the first place. Why do the need to fix spells for PvE. They literally don’t effect anyone but themselves unless they’re in a team.
No. These changes are not because of pvp. This is to prevent powercreep from killing the game entirely. How can these changes be because of pvp when a lot of the spells they nerfed are never used in pvp? Think before run your mouths.
What are they doing... 🤦🏻♀️ I don’t even want to play anymore. Instead of nerfing everything, they should’ve spent all that time working on the graphics on the spells.
Been playing on and off since 2009. I rarely play anymore. If this update goes through I'm definitely retiring. They continue to dig the grave for this game and seem to enjoy sucking the fun out of it.
DJT they probably will be buffed but a lot of these didnt need to be nerfed anyways, all of the nerfs except a couple should be pvp only, solo questing is gonna be way harder for azteca to empyrea for most schools.
Life Being Sar PERIODT. You dropped this -> 👑. The game needs new content NOW, not this garbage. 2020 has not been Wiz's year, with the garbage pet update and now the garbage spell update. If we don't get a world this year......
All the schools got slaughtered in this update. First Storm, second Fire, third Balance, then death, then ice, and more. They turned all the schools against each other. No one won. We ALL lost. No one was a winner. We were all losers in this update
The fact that Woolly mammoth does the same damage as storm lord, for two more pips, and doesn't hit all?? I get it, ice should be weaker, but still that's horrible
I don't think these changes are too bad... As long as KI lowers mob health it's fine. Efreet need a nerf anything above 50% weakness is just op especially if it's on a hitting spell. They're lowering everything about 10 - 20% so as long as they lower mob health by that much I'm fine. Efreet maybe needs a little damage buff but weakness should stay the same 40% is fine.
@@MinisterEvil They still haven't finished nerfing spells yet..... Helephant will most likely be next, Tempest and judgement aswell. As I said the damage is a bit low, but weakness should stay the same anything above 45% is too much.
@@zanderthebest7459 Okay so, does that really solve anything if KI created the issue in the first place? If anything, it invalidates their reasoning for nerfing the damage in the first place. Might as well have only *slightly* nerfed the damage, and then left everything else the same.
they said on twitter they planned on "easing players through" PVE after this. So they are prob gonna scale back the game, or give more utility to a lot of spells after the nerfs.
If they nerfed it that hard then they should’ve at least kept a -80%. And this is coming from a storm wizard. So many spells are absolutely useless now 😫
Facts the game gotta understand is not just about pvp... People do more pve than Pvp the population of PvP is high don't get me wrong but pve is way higher..
@Angelbob77 Isn't the new world alleged? And seeing how they're destroying the game and spitting in the faces of their player base, they might have to shut the game down before they release this so called new world. KI is a trash company, always was, always will be. Hope they crash and burn.
@@AngryArgonian if they want to fix powercreep they need to nerf dragoon gear and up the numbers for crit instead of nerfing every spell above a certain pip number into the ground. Every school can have 100% crit and 140+% damage, the problem with the game is that the schools have lost their identities. Any school can hit hard, any school can run jade or outgoing gear and spam pigsie. There's no real reason to be picking any school over the others as there's nothing unique about any of the schools anymore. These nerfs further solidify that fact. These devs are killing their own game and they don't realise it.
This isn’t about comparing nerfs anymore. All schools just got disintegrated. We need to start making more complaints to ki. Worst update ever Edit: all you guys are misunderstanding my comment. I’ve never once complained about the nerfs. My point is that the nerfs literally make no sense at all. How can storm spells have lower base damage hits than other schools?? It is supposed to be the biggest hitting school. And that’s just one example..
A_AW you people need to stop crying and taking this information up the ass and instead need to look at the bigger picture as to why they are doing this, it's not just them nerfing every single school for no reason for the sake of nerfing
Dude this is how u balance a game all of the spells that they are nerfing were literally broken. All u see is fire and storm not so much anymore hopefully
Dark Lord Sauron you assume the games gonna be around for long enough for the changes to be justified. Probably not w the amount of players leaving after every update. Once quarantine is over... oh boy. Plus, content isn’t getting pushed out fast enough so we’re gonna have to deal w the reprecussions of the changes for a while
@@vampyresimmortalkiss I agree. The Night-Knight event made it clear that KI just wants to extort as much money as possible from Players. I mean, they expected 10 year-olds to pump out $700 in 4 days! Any sort of company that is that corrupt will never get any financial support from me.
How is efreet getting nerfed bad at all? (for pve). Now I don't have to worry about a fire mob hitting me with efreet the round I hit, also I hardly use efreet for PvE... Might be a different story for PvP.
Getting efreet by street mobs isn’t the end of the world. Go back and do it again or if you go first bring cleanse charm. No big deal. Its worse when its a boss and they mess up the whole setup
KingsIsle has lost their damn minds and actually took all of the fun out of the game. Why would you make the game more difficult to play by lowering the spells we need to defend ourselves against enemies!!!
I just came back to this game after 8 years . KI, if this is the way you "nerf" the game. Then increase drops rates on everything. If it's going to take longer to kill bosses then make worth the wait.
Sobble Wobble The good old days; as far as I’m concerned, the Summer Update that introduced the ultra seeds and whirlwind mounts was the last GOOD update.
Kokichi wants your Location these are for pvp... if u think scion and winged are bad for pvp i don’t know what to tell u, obviously most cards will not be in use in pve, only the high powered aoe really and the 4 pip ones
Exactly!!! Not one of the TH-camrs I have watched have mentioned this! They see 540 and 700 and that’s it. Rain of Fire is useless compared to Dragon now.
they made the 7 pip spells way to strong for how they nerfed the high pip spells, one or the other is gonna get reverted because they just make no sense now all the 7 pip aoe do more damage than 8 and 9 pip single hits hits
@@chikechovis2499 Knowing how KI likes to treat the community, they'll nerf all the 7-pips instead of re-balancing all higher-pip spells like they should.
That life scion is so useless, they nerf most life spells which makes it harder to solo quest. Clearly people who nerf these good spells have never solo run before.
Or at least not as life. I got a mastery amulet to cut down on boss battle times because after one 3 HOUR boss I wasn’t about to do that again. Mind you that boss was in Azteca in the first half
The nerfs to balance dont make sense, yes we are not a good hitting school by any means, but at least leave RA alone its our best aoe before nested fury.
@@enormousiserratic8276 I dont play this game no more.. i do check up on it. Keep in mind its Still in test relam so don't complain too much about it. People asked for balance so KI is trying their best to balance everything
Somebody should really like just make a petition for them or something, or just everybody should start going to forums and to feedbacks just so that they don't do these drastic changes. They listened the 2nd time, but I have no idea why they would keep destroying schools the 3rd. Everybody is talking about "pvp" but you already have people who don't even know how to do solo battles that are in the game. I used Efreet in the KH solo at the beginning which saved me, but at this point I think increasing difficulty in this game isn't helping no one. Just change up pvp the way they change up tournaments, make rules for it or something.
@@AngryArgonian Yes but that's just at max level, starting out with no absolute gear makes these spells not worth it at all, if they made stuff like what other games have (ex: 7 day crowns only gear, better buffs, skipping through a battle by paying currency) it would be so much easier for new players and people making new characters. A storm can still kill anything with his tempest, a death can still triple feint and help a nerfed school do mass damage. It's just the fact that many players after maxing move on to pvp or other characters, nobody is trying to always hit 1 in a million with rank 7+ spells. Blaze even mentions in his video, why use a nerfed spell when you can just use another school/spell that totally has way more damage? Powercreep will only be balanced after everything gets changed completely. Critical, damage, boss health included. You cannot balance out a game just by changing the spells of it, they were created and tested this way, and have been like this for many months even years. Everyone will complain as soon as they release new spells and they will point out to KI and be like "hey these are totally useless now" and then you will see buffs coming in AGAIN just to stall updates.
@@_jamesr Once again, these changes are not because of pvp. Most of these spells that got nerfed are never used in pvp and are strictly pve. I will not say it again.
@@AngryArgonian Are you sure? Efreet, bugs, bull, rain of fire, ffa, etc. They're all used in it. But alright, if that's your point then that's your point.
RoF needs to be changed, efreet needs a buff, Sun Serpent should never have been touched, and I guess I won’t be using Von’s monster that very much anymore for single hits
NGL death was actually in a really good place. You could argue PvP could use some rework, but as far as PvE they were already at a disadvantage with drain health's weird enchanting. I feel death was just so balanced as it was, nothing too powerful, nothing too weak, it could hold its own in any situation. Then they massacred lulu :c
They murdered efreet. And that's most used boss killing spell till lvl 88 like wtf. The bosses health better be cut 30 percent or if 10k health turn to 6k and cheating bosses need to be removed. But I think these nerf cause new world to make new spells idk. But with levels getting higher , so is health so pvp is going to take a while.
How they going to mix PvP with pve is not the same thing big difference in terms of health and the bosses being able to cheat.. I guess we are allowed to make those type of cheats like the bosses are allowed to in PvP..
Dude at this point they need to make 2 sets of card damage, they need to have PvE cards, where they keep exactly what they have on live and not nerf anything, in fact possibly even buff spells specifically for PvE, Then, when you enter the PvP arena, you get your cards set to a PvP status, where for example using Fire Cat, instead of it being 80-120 damage, it would be 40-80 damage, essentially nerfing it for us wizards, whether they regard it as "Holding back against your fellow classmates" or whatever, but these later worlds are about to get realllllllly hard if they don't figure it out soon
How many people do they run these changes through before it’s posted to test realm? It seems like a random idea that one person has at KI and just pushes it live without any thought or consideration as to how it can impact the game. I’ll never understand lol
Goodness...I really hope they rethink some of these nerfs because this will make everything 10x harder for everyone. pvp and pve. Nobody won this time.
Stop crying. All classes are gonna be fine. Fire may not be on top when all is said and done, but everything is in limbo.. stop worrying about things that arent official.
DJT this comment wasn’t even about fire… It was about ice lol. People have a right to worry as well because it impacts the game that they enjoy. That being said I do agree to a point with you that there is a much bigger plan things usually get even out generally
DJT did you even read the comment? The comment was about ice. If somebody is paying a whole bunch of money for a game, they have a right to complain 🤷🏻♀️
Love the video and you brought up some GREAT points! Would love another one where you go over the 20% nerf to mob health. Maybe show some key battles with mobs / bosses with their reduced health to show how dangerous a health nerf to Arcs 2 and 3 is, as it oversimplifies combat to just spell damage and health.
What they should’ve done is make all the 7 spells and up change when you enter the arena (house pvp won’t count). PVE players can keep the same spells they already had except for orthrus, that was a necessity for myth players.
Someone said pvp players bring in a ton of money for the game, so of course KI is gonna bend over backwards to satisfy them, which I find is bs cause the majority player base does pve and questing so why not just separate the nerfs for pvp only
Not going to sugar coat it wiz is an easy game these nerfs are in a way necessary for difficulty and majority of the time you can find someone to quest with or farm with so in pve you just end up using an aoe blades and feints and it’s simple but for pvp that takes strategy and these spell changes may introduce new strats and in a way makes the game more fun because let’s face it when questing a single char you just have to do it once and that’s it easy
@@ZenBryhan majority of the players can care less about PVP its toxic, theres no rewards what's the point and what If you're a solo player? 🤔 PvP players are selfish af in this game
I never used Dr. Von's Monster, so many pips for a single hit when I got Skelly Dragon, and now its nerfed?. Maybe I didn't see the power behind it but Wraith or Scarecrow felt way more useful and cheaper.
It's only ever really used in PvE and it low-key wasn't even that good before, I think the reason it got nerfed though is because enchants now do full damage on drains so it's kinda fair.
I used it alllll the time before I got Lulu lol. It was a good high hitting spell especially for the level you get it at, esp considering death has a lot of traps and to utilize them it's pointless to build them up for a weak first hit. I never use dragon honestly
20:00 “Ice isn’t really supposed to be a super high damage school” But Ice wizards would really love it be able to solo or fight PvE... our resistance and health mean nothing if we can’t fend for ourselves. I hear stuff about them reworking the resistance stats? HOW AM I TO SURVIVE
but that’s the entire point of our school, we can’t have insane survivability while also having good offensive cards. people complaining are ridiculous
efreet used to be my go-to spell and now I'm just gonna remove it from my deck completely. there's no point to keep it anymore, it just takes up space now. good job KI you're clearly trying to go broke by driving everyone away from your top game edit: spelling
There is no point in having a heal for 11 pips. The only time I can see the life scion useable is if someone died, but at that point it would just be easier for them to flee instead of wasting your pips, especially if you don't have pigsie and you have to wait for rebirth.
I hope that is coming up at all and it better be just hard as this spell nerfs. Cause boss fights like The Rat, Shadowock, The Brain from Empyrea part 1, and the Devourer are gonna be next to impossible for the basic of teams.
@@ChikuTenebresRattus I have heard that in worlds from Celestia and up mob health will universally be reduced by 20%. Whether unique boss fights, Darkmoor, the Catacombs, and more will get special treatment is unknown to me.
@@HobbesHobbiton I guess that may allow this game to live slightly for others, but my next question comes from special cheats, cause those need to be double nerfed, like mirage
Honestly i think it’s bad to not have all the changes out at the same time. I think going week by week. And only giving us a little bit of the picture doesn’t help anyone. If they wanted to do this thing properly then they should released all the changes from the beginning. Or most of them and say hey some other changes regarding X And Y are going to be happening next week. But this whole week by week thing is stupid. Also a lot of these changes make no sense. Pve players will only be using the spell that hits the hardest. Which a lot of the 8,9,10 pip spells suck now so why even use them.
It's honestly getting to a point that the game is getting so hard to play anymore, unless they nerf the enemies too. One of the things that makes Wizard101 what it is and such a fun strategy game, is that these base values are just a starting point to how you build your deck. As a Balance wizard, we have never had the powerful hits that storm or fire had. Totally fine with that. I had other utility that made it easy to fight almost anything(other than other balance.) However, with more blades available for me, they are weaker blades that have less overall effect. These changes cause a chain reaction to how we build up our damage. It takes almost all my utility if I want to make my Ra powerful enough to TWO shot most base mobs, and most bosses end up being stall fests that take my entire health and deck. I'm not saying that bosses shouldn't be powerful, but W101 has so many bosses that this repetitive drawn out fights make it so slow. Now with these nerfs, I don't even know if I can beat any bosses. And it isn't just a Balance problem. Now I wont be able to focus on putting my utility into an allied storm wizard because its unknown if he can build up enough either. I don't think that they have really thought their nerfs through all the way. Changes are fine, but you have to know all of the effects that are had because of it. Now that you are at the end of my rant, have a smile :)
They need to just separate PVP from PVE, make those “Realms” mutually exclusive from one another and change spells accordingly, just like how they did with juju, fire beetle, etc. There are many things that need to be fixed that rnt justifiable at all. How is life, the second highest health and resist school gonna have a 7 pip hit all that does 620-680 dmg when, Storm, the lowest health and lowest resist, school and should have the highest dmg of all has a 7 pip hit all that does 690? Makes no sense what so ever. Same thing with Myth, a hitall that does 700 dmg? Srsly? How are they gonna give myth a more powerful aoe then storm? No sense here. It seems like they just forgot that the schools themselves are classes, at one end Ice has the highest health and resist but lowest damage, at the other end Storm has low Resist and Health but has the highest damage, Or at the very least this is what they were originally intended to be, and it makes more sense like this. So there is no reason why a myth spell would do the same amt of dmg for the same pips with both of them being AOEs, And it really really doesn’t make any sense that Life, which is 2nd highest in health and resist, would have just abt the same dmg AOE as storm AOE for the same amt of pips. If they are gonna nerf Efreet they need to nerf helephant as well cuz 625-705 for 6 pips vs 555 and a -40 for 8 pips makes no sense in PVE. Just like how they changes Rain Of Fire they need to also change Snow Angel for PVE, its ass and no one uses it unless you are doing Storm titan (which no ones does), Fellspawn or Druid, A whole 3 battles in the entire game, completely insane. How is Iron Sultan and Bugs doing the same dmg? That needs to be fixed. I have no idea how u think that the change to Rain Of Fire is bad, This spells is absolutely useless unless you are doing Storm Titan (Which no ones does) FellSpawn and Druid, other then that literally no one uses this spell, PVE or PVP. No one wants to WAIT for dmg to be dealt to mobs, they needed to make this change to Rain 7 years ago. It’s about time Fire has a decent 9 pip AOE, only thing they need to nerf is the dmg bec its actually above sirens if you count all of the dmg it does, and the initial hit is only 30 dmg less than sirens. There’s more but im tired of typing
These changes aren't for pvp man, this just screws literally everyone over. There is no benefit for anyone out of this, they aren't appealing to any of their communities atm lol
Blank this isn’t meant to screw ppl over, they are adding new content to the game and thus everything is getting nerfed/balanced out, not saying that they are doing it perfectly, far from it if you read my whole comment. Also as developers they are going to change the game based on what it needs, not what communities want. Spells needed to get nerfed in general cuz 1. The game is WAY too easy, i’ve soloed it on my death and life and am almost done Soloing it on my STORM character, no pack gear or anything p2w, no charatcer should be able to solo the game. 2. They need to rebalance schools based on classes, ice shouldn’t be getting 30% damage from dragoon boots for example, thats only 3% less then what storm’s is. Ice was meant to be a tank, high health high resist low damage. As well as everything I talked about in my original comment above
@@pheonixforce6442 Oh for sure and I completely agree, I came across in the wrong way. Their intention is perfect and the way they are going about it is good, it's just some of their spell nerfs are really, really wack and REALLY need some work haha. If they manage to rebalance all spells without ruining any, then it's certainly a benefit for everyone
The fact that the balance school is called "balance" at this point is ironic. It was ment to be a well rounded school and to be the middle of everything. It could be a hitter if needed, heal and give pips etc. In group battles. I struggle already as balance, and they are nerfing us when we need buffs and better blades for a while now. Make these nerfs PVP only. The only thing I like right now is hydra.
I was on Test Realm this morning and I thought, “Wow. They completely destroyed Efreet .” Granted the spell was a tad broken as was, but 555 for 8 pips? There is a -40% charm but worth it?
rain of fire was one of the spells that made fire.. well fire. it was pretty much the best dot which is the ONLY reason people used it. first hit was for breaking shields and stuff, and the overtime was made for dealing the damage. But now the first hit isnt even that great and the overtime is just garbage! absolutely HORRIBLE move kingsisle
I can already see the future videos on this game "The Rise and Fall of Wizard101" "How wizard101 evidently came to a close" "Why game developers make the same mistakes and never learn because for some reason they don't see that other games go completely out of business over this same technique"
Snow angel!!!! Like why nerf it. And why get rid of the taunt?! People be complaining that fire is getting nerfed hard, but they be nerfing ice from the start.
I've been a fire since 2010...if those changes stay the same, half of fires utility is gone and I can guarantee no one will ever use efreet or rain again, like at all. Efreet is only used for pvp or special bosses and rain is only used in 2 boss battles
They hit Rein of fire too hard. Fire dragon is way better now. Also if you look at the damage rof only does a total of 940 where as fire dragon does way more 👀
Well of all this come to live then KI had a good run. Too bad they kept trying to fix things that weren’t broken. I guess they just lost touch with the majority of their player base.
Tons of people come back to wizard101 during quarantine. KI: our games too popular now how can we change that?

Exactly there are some spells that don’t even have a purpose anymore. (Like using Sirens instead of bugs)
It looks cool. That's about it.

If we don't get new spells, these nerfs It's gonna high key ruin pve. Thanks PvP wizards
The pve community needs to speak out not just against KI but against pvpers for whining lol
Facts the game gotta understand is not just about pvp... People do more pve than Pvp the population of PvP is high don't get me wrong but pve is way higher..
PvP is still not fixed at the same time lol. also they aren't doing this for PvP, if they were doing it for that, at least one would be fixed

They really need to separate pvp and pve nerfs
Facts
Imagine having two variations of cards though... could get kinda confusing
There could be an option to mark a deck as a PvP deck and the cards are displayed as such
These changes were not made because of pvp. This is about powercreep, which is a common killer of games.
@@AngryArgonian if they want to fix powercreep they need to nerf dragoon gear and up the numbers for crit instead of nerfing every spell above a certain pip number into the ground. Every school can have 100% crit and 140+% damage, the problem with the game is that the schools have lost their identities. Any school can hit hard, any school can run jade or outgoing gear and spam pigsie. There's no real reason to be picking any school over the others as there's nothing unique about any of the schools anymore. These nerfs further solidify that fact. These devs are killing their own game and they don't realise it.
This isn’t about comparing nerfs anymore. All schools just got disintegrated. We need to start making more complaints to ki. Worst update ever
Edit: all you guys are misunderstanding my comment. I’ve never once complained about the nerfs. My point is that the nerfs literally make no sense at all. How can storm spells have lower base damage hits than other schools?? It is supposed to be the biggest hitting school. And that’s just one example..
A_AW you people need to stop crying and taking this information up the ass and instead need to look at the bigger picture as to why they are doing this, it's not just them nerfing every single school for no reason for the sake of nerfing
Dark Lord Sauron FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST THANK YOU GOOD PERSON! Finally SOMEONE ACTUALLY HAS SENSE. Glad I’m not the only one
Dude this is how u balance a game all of the spells that they are nerfing were literally broken. All u see is fire and storm not so much anymore hopefully
TheDarkKnight dude fire is gonna be everywhere now. It’s the best hitter in the game now.
Dark Lord Sauron you assume the games gonna be around for long enough for the changes to be justified. Probably not w the amount of players leaving after every update. Once quarantine is over... oh boy. Plus, content isn’t getting pushed out fast enough so we’re gonna have to deal w the reprecussions of the changes for a while

How is efreet getting nerfed bad at all? (for pve). Now I don't have to worry about a fire mob hitting me with efreet the round I hit, also I hardly use efreet for PvE... Might be a different story for PvP.
Geralt of Rivia bro, efreet against heavy hitter bosses like waterworks or other bosses who cheat big saves lives, I ain’t using it anymore
Getting efreet by street mobs isn’t the end of the world. Go back and do it again or if you go first bring cleanse charm. No big deal. Its worse when its a boss and they mess up the whole setup

Z3nvo1 Fair. Maybe it’s cause I play life more often. (Though I was looking I to playing balance or myth again in the future)
This is all pvp focused I believe maybe not idk
I just came back to this game after 8 years . KI, if this is the way you "nerf" the game. Then increase drops rates on everything. If it's going to take longer to kill bosses then make worth the wait.

Fire dragon overall now does more than rain of fire 🤦♂️
That makes no sense
They might as well take oof spells that are over 7 pips
Rain isn't even an upgrade to dragon now though blaze, dragon does 975 total and rain is 940 total.
Exactly!!! Not one of the TH-camrs I have watched have mentioned this! They see 540 and 700 and that’s it. Rain of Fire is useless compared to Dragon now.
they made the 7 pip spells way to strong for how they nerfed the high pip spells, one or the other is gonna get reverted because they just make no sense now all the 7 pip aoe do more damage than 8 and 9 pip single hits hits
@@chikechovis2499 Knowing how KI likes to treat the community, they'll nerf all the 7-pips instead of re-balancing all higher-pip spells like they should.
“Everyone gets an infection!” ... in the middle of a pandemic. Good going, KI.
That life scion is so useless, they nerf most life spells which makes it harder to solo quest. Clearly people who nerf these good spells have never solo run before.
Exactly that’s how it is for ice as well
Or at least not as life. I got a mastery amulet to cut down on boss battle times because after one 3 HOUR boss I wasn’t about to do that again. Mind you that boss was in Azteca in the first half
I swear. A requirement to work on the KI team should be solo all way on at least 2 schools. Then maybe they wouldn't do this
you’re not supposed to be able to solo everything.
The nerfs to balance dont make sense, yes we are not a good hitting school by any means, but at least leave RA alone its our best aoe before nested fury.

the pvp community of wiz ruined it for all the pve players wow
Mhm
Amen
Somebody should really like just make a petition for them or something, or just everybody should start going to forums and to feedbacks just so that they don't do these drastic changes. They listened the 2nd time, but I have no idea why they would keep destroying schools the 3rd. Everybody is talking about "pvp" but you already have people who don't even know how to do solo battles that are in the game. I used Efreet in the KH solo at the beginning which saved me, but at this point I think increasing difficulty in this game isn't helping no one. Just change up pvp the way they change up tournaments, make rules for it or something.
As I have said hundreds of times before, these changes have nothing to do with pvp. This is about balancing the game and preventing powercreep.
@@AngryArgonian Yes but that's just at max level, starting out with no absolute gear makes these spells not worth it at all, if they made stuff like what other games have (ex: 7 day crowns only gear, better buffs, skipping through a battle by paying currency) it would be so much easier for new players and people making new characters. A storm can still kill anything with his tempest, a death can still triple feint and help a nerfed school do mass damage.
It's just the fact that many players after maxing move on to pvp or other characters, nobody is trying to always hit 1 in a million with rank 7+ spells. Blaze even mentions in his video, why use a nerfed spell when you can just use another school/spell that totally has way more damage? Powercreep will only be balanced after everything gets changed completely. Critical, damage, boss health included. You cannot balance out a game just by changing the spells of it, they were created and tested this way, and have been like this for many months even years. Everyone will complain as soon as they release new spells and they will point out to KI and be like "hey these are totally useless now" and then you will see buffs coming in AGAIN just to stall updates.
@@_jamesr Once again, these changes are not because of pvp. Most of these spells that got nerfed are never used in pvp and are strictly pve. I will not say it again.
@@AngryArgonian Are you sure? Efreet, bugs, bull, rain of fire, ffa, etc. They're all used in it. But alright, if that's your point then that's your point.

They are gonna loose a lot of players over the spells nerf
No, they won't. The game will be better off with these changes.
TheAngryArgonian What do you mean no they won’t? They definitely will, and if it’s not because of the nerfs it’s because the game is dying.
Game is dying heavy lol who still uses pay to play on 2020 imagine KI is sorry
@@AngryArgonian How about you show some evidence on how it'll be better off with this shitshow of an update? I bet you can't cause it won't be.
It is happening ..every realm in different world is dead desserted lol I even get sleepy every quest I do now
RoF needs to be changed, efreet needs a buff, Sun Serpent should never have been touched, and I guess I won’t be using Von’s monster that very much anymore for single hits
NGL death was actually in a really good place. You could argue PvP could use some rework, but as far as PvE they were already at a disadvantage with drain health's weird enchanting. I feel death was just so balanced as it was, nothing too powerful, nothing too weak, it could hold its own in any situation.
Then they massacred lulu :c
Styxx FireMancer von with enchant does more then original now that they changed enchants for drains
Dark Lord Sauron fair point there
@@elegantwizard9670 The buff to drain spells with an enchant practically nullifies the change to Von. It's doing fine on test realm.
thing is, dr von always did slightly less than lulu so this nerf makes perfect sense. just gotta accept it
Whole kingsisle department needs a refresh
they really drifted after J Todd left as head.
They murdered fire, RoF has lost it's original purpose, efreet is trash, dragon was nerfed for no reason and sun serpent was decimated.
Not only Fire. They murdered every single school.
@@mamstarstorm Yes, but fire was certainly the big highlight of this one.
Yeah well now y’all know how balances felt this past year, no complaining
Dragon is better now but efreet and rof nerf makes the school super yikes

They murdered efreet. And that's most used boss killing spell till lvl 88 like wtf. The bosses health better be cut 30 percent or if 10k health turn to 6k and cheating bosses need to be removed. But I think these nerf cause new world to make new spells idk. But with levels getting higher , so is health so pvp is going to take a while.
They did everyone dirty. 7 pip spells are way to over powered, and 8 pip through your first shad spells are garbage.

Lmao avenging fossil is hilarious now. 90 over 3 turns xD
Why couldn’t they change the spells ONLY for pvp?
They could of let the damage be for pve
Exactly THANK YOU
Thank you..
Is too obvious for KI
How they going to mix PvP with pve is not the same thing big difference in terms of health and the bosses being able to cheat.. I guess we are allowed to make those type of cheats like the bosses are allowed to in PvP..
Some would be ok like forest lord and like that but come on they destroyed spells in both pve and pvp but mainly for pvp and it sucks
Dude at this point they need to make 2 sets of card damage, they need to have PvE cards, where they keep exactly what they have on live and not nerf anything, in fact possibly even buff spells specifically for PvE,
Then, when you enter the PvP arena, you get your cards set to a PvP status, where for example using Fire Cat, instead of it being 80-120 damage, it would be 40-80 damage, essentially nerfing it for us wizards, whether they regard it as "Holding back against your fellow classmates" or whatever, but these later worlds are about to get realllllllly hard if they don't figure it out soon
These changes have nothing to do with pvp. This is to prevent powercreep from killing the game entirely.
@@AngryArgonian Prevent "powercreep" from killing the game, by killing it themselves? Seems legit, bullshitter.
@@AngryArgonian lol no it wasn't for power creep is was the pvpers bitching

If Scion of life healed all at its current state it would make it actually usable
It will be unusable unless they make it an ape heal or make it do damage
They should make it like an upgraded leprechaun tbh.
How many people do they run these changes through before it’s posted to test realm? It seems like a random idea that one person has at KI and just pushes it live without any thought or consideration as to how it can impact the game. I’ll never understand lol
Goodness...I really hope they rethink some of these nerfs because this will make everything 10x harder for everyone. pvp and pve. Nobody won this time.
And wtf with rain of fire?! We use that for the dot, not the first hit!
Everyone in fire was laughing at storm and ice last update....but now....whew everyone better pray these changes are only for pvp
Fire yo we like to hit smaller but apply enormous dots kingisle eh let’s change that.
I usually main ice, but I don't know if its worth using this school.
Yeah exactly it sad at this point
Stop crying. All classes are gonna be fine. Fire may not be on top when all is said and done, but everything is in limbo.. stop worrying about things that arent official.
I really hope that KI listens to its players
DJT this comment wasn’t even about fire… It was about ice lol. People have a right to worry as well because it impacts the game that they enjoy. That being said I do agree to a point with you that there is a much bigger plan things usually get even out generally
DJT did you even read the comment? The comment was about ice. If somebody is paying a whole bunch of money for a game, they have a right to complain 🤷🏻♀️
Love the video and you brought up some GREAT points! Would love another one where you go over the 20% nerf to mob health. Maybe show some key battles with mobs / bosses with their reduced health to show how dangerous a health nerf to Arcs 2 and 3 is, as it oversimplifies combat to just spell damage and health.
What they should’ve done is make all the 7 spells and up change when you enter the arena (house pvp won’t count). PVE players can keep the same spells they already had except for orthrus, that was a necessity for myth players.
These changes are because of powercreep, it has nothing to do with pvp.
This makes me mad, the spells are just getting less powerful, we can complete the game backwards for all i care.
Someone said pvp players bring in a ton of money for the game, so of course KI is gonna bend over backwards to satisfy them, which I find is bs cause the majority player base does pve and questing so why not just separate the nerfs for pvp only
That's Cap bro most of the people playing and spending money in this game are PVE players we buy Worlds/Memberships/Packs/houses all that bs
Not going to sugar coat it wiz is an easy game these nerfs are in a way necessary for difficulty and majority of the time you can find someone to quest with or farm with so in pve you just end up using an aoe blades and feints and it’s simple but for pvp that takes strategy and these spell changes may introduce new strats and in a way makes the game more fun because let’s face it when questing a single char you just have to do it once and that’s it easy
@@ZenBryhan majority of the players can care less about PVP its toxic, theres no rewards what's the point and what If you're a solo player? 🤔 PvP players are selfish af in this game
@@zero3644 ranked pvp requires membership and I can guarantee the average pvper spends more than the average pve player
i'm laughing because of how hard fire got nerfed. when he opened that page it was the ultimate bruh moment
For people who didn’t get the grizzleheim spells, we will never have king art and have no good single hits!
There's almost more infection in game than there is in real life right now, dang.
Also, as a fire main, KI why youd you have to do us dirty like that?
I never used Dr. Von's Monster, so many pips for a single hit when I got Skelly Dragon, and now its nerfed?. Maybe I didn't see the power behind it but Wraith or Scarecrow felt way more useful and cheaper.
My death is level 80 something and I use it alot. Dragon has a weak first hit so having feints and other traps makes dr von’s do alot instead.
It's only ever really used in PvE and it low-key wasn't even that good before, I think the reason it got nerfed though is because enchants now do full damage on drains so it's kinda fair.
I used it alllll the time before I got Lulu lol. It was a good high hitting spell especially for the level you get it at, esp considering death has a lot of traps and to utilize them it's pointless to build them up for a weak first hit. I never use dragon honestly
If they gonna nerf spells so bad, they need to nerf the cheating bosses like the final Titan.
20:00 “Ice isn’t really supposed to be a super high damage school”
But Ice wizards would really love it be able to solo or fight PvE... our resistance and health mean nothing if we can’t fend for ourselves. I hear stuff about them reworking the resistance stats? HOW AM I TO SURVIVE
but that’s the entire point of our school, we can’t have insane survivability while also having good offensive cards. people complaining are ridiculous
efreet used to be my go-to spell and now I'm just gonna remove it from my deck completely. there's no point to keep it anymore, it just takes up space now. good job KI you're clearly trying to go broke by driving everyone away from your top game
edit: spelling
Coming from a storm wizard they screwed you guys with efreet lol. I would’ve at least kept a -80% if they wanted to nerf the damage so hard
I'm not even using fire anymore lol. Bad and boring class
There is no point in having a heal for 11 pips. The only time I can see the life scion useable is if someone died, but at that point it would just be easier for them to flee instead of wasting your pips, especially if you don't have pigsie and you have to wait for rebirth.
They need to make Life Scion a hitting spell
That would be the only way of not making it so useless
No high lvl can survive 11 pips for a heal lol
Blanc Space I feel the use of blossom in a hitting spell would not make sense
I'm disappointed that i spent massive hard earned money on this game
The HP nerfs in PvE are coming LAST. How are we to judge these nerfs without the complete picture?
I hope that is coming up at all and it better be just hard as this spell nerfs. Cause boss fights like The Rat, Shadowock, The Brain from Empyrea part 1, and the Devourer are gonna be next to impossible for the basic of teams.

@@HobbesHobbiton I guess that may allow this game to live slightly for others, but my next question comes from special cheats, cause those need to be double nerfed, like mirage
Honestly i think it’s bad to not have all the changes out at the same time. I think going week by week. And only giving us a little bit of the picture doesn’t help anyone. If they wanted to do this thing properly then they should released all the changes from the beginning. Or most of them and say hey some other changes regarding X And Y are going to be happening next week. But this whole week by week thing is stupid. Also a lot of these changes make no sense. Pve players will only be using the spell that hits the hardest. Which a lot of the 8,9,10 pip spells suck now so why even use them.
It's honestly getting to a point that the game is getting so hard to play anymore, unless they nerf the enemies too.
One of the things that makes Wizard101 what it is and such a fun strategy game, is that these base values are just a starting point to how you build your deck. As a Balance wizard, we have never had the powerful hits that storm or fire had. Totally fine with that. I had other utility that made it easy to fight almost anything(other than other balance.) However, with more blades available for me, they are weaker blades that have less overall effect. These changes cause a chain reaction to how we build up our damage. It takes almost all my utility if I want to make my Ra powerful enough to TWO shot most base mobs, and most bosses end up being stall fests that take my entire health and deck. I'm not saying that bosses shouldn't be powerful, but W101 has so many bosses that this repetitive drawn out fights make it so slow. Now with these nerfs, I don't even know if I can beat any bosses. And it isn't just a Balance problem. Now I wont be able to focus on putting my utility into an allied storm wizard because its unknown if he can build up enough either. I don't think that they have really thought their nerfs through all the way. Changes are fine, but you have to know all of the effects that are had because of it. Now that you are at the end of my rant, have a smile :)
These changes are why I don't play wizard101, even though I played for around 11 years 🤦♂️
I continue to cry ice wizard penguin tears 😭
They need to just separate PVP from PVE, make those “Realms” mutually exclusive from one another and change spells accordingly, just like how they did with juju, fire beetle, etc. There are many things that need to be fixed that rnt justifiable at all. How is life, the second highest health and resist school gonna have a 7 pip hit all that does 620-680 dmg when, Storm, the lowest health and lowest resist, school and should have the highest dmg of all has a 7 pip hit all that does 690? Makes no sense what so ever. Same thing with Myth, a hitall that does 700 dmg? Srsly? How are they gonna give myth a more powerful aoe then storm? No sense here. It seems like they just forgot that the schools themselves are classes, at one end Ice has the highest health and resist but lowest damage, at the other end Storm has low Resist and Health but has the highest damage, Or at the very least this is what they were originally intended to be, and it makes more sense like this. So there is no reason why a myth spell would do the same amt of dmg for the same pips with both of them being AOEs, And it really really doesn’t make any sense that Life, which is 2nd highest in health and resist, would have just abt the same dmg AOE as storm AOE for the same amt of pips. If they are gonna nerf Efreet they need to nerf helephant as well cuz 625-705 for 6 pips vs 555 and a -40 for 8 pips makes no sense in PVE. Just like how they changes Rain Of Fire they need to also change Snow Angel for PVE, its ass and no one uses it unless you are doing Storm titan (which no ones does), Fellspawn or Druid, A whole 3 battles in the entire game, completely insane. How is Iron Sultan and Bugs doing the same dmg? That needs to be fixed. I have no idea how u think that the change to Rain Of Fire is bad, This spells is absolutely useless unless you are doing Storm Titan (Which no ones does) FellSpawn and Druid, other then that literally no one uses this spell, PVE or PVP. No one wants to WAIT for dmg to be dealt to mobs, they needed to make this change to Rain 7 years ago. It’s about time Fire has a decent 9 pip AOE, only thing they need to nerf is the dmg bec its actually above sirens if you count all of the dmg it does, and the initial hit is only 30 dmg less than sirens. There’s more but im tired of typing
These changes have nothing to do with pvp. This is all about powercreep.
These changes aren't for pvp man, this just screws literally everyone over. There is no benefit for anyone out of this, they aren't appealing to any of their communities atm lol
Blank this isn’t meant to screw ppl over, they are adding new content to the game and thus everything is getting nerfed/balanced out, not saying that they are doing it perfectly, far from it if you read my whole comment. Also as developers they are going to change the game based on what it needs, not what communities want. Spells needed to get nerfed in general cuz 1. The game is WAY too easy, i’ve soloed it on my death and life and am almost done Soloing it on my STORM character, no pack gear or anything p2w, no charatcer should be able to solo the game. 2. They need to rebalance schools based on classes, ice shouldn’t be getting 30% damage from dragoon boots for example, thats only 3% less then what storm’s is. Ice was meant to be a tank, high health high resist low damage. As well as everything I talked about in my original comment above
Storm Lord also stuns. Don't forget that part.
@@pheonixforce6442 Oh for sure and I completely agree, I came across in the wrong way. Their intention is perfect and the way they are going about it is good, it's just some of their spell nerfs are really, really wack and REALLY need some work haha. If they manage to rebalance all spells without ruining any, then it's certainly a benefit for everyone
Everybodys gansta in the commons till that hall monitor slides thru!😂👌🏽
The fact that the balance school is called "balance" at this point is ironic. It was ment to be a well rounded school and to be the middle of everything. It could be a hitter if needed, heal and give pips etc. In group battles. I struggle already as balance, and they are nerfing us when we need buffs and better blades for a while now. Make these nerfs PVP only. The only thing I like right now is hydra.
Chida K as a balance wiz, it’s absolutely ridiculous. we already struggle with soloing and then theyre gonna nerf when we needed buffs.
These changes have nothing to do with pvp. This is to prevent powercreep, a common killer of games.

@@oracleloki12 You're overreacting. The game will be fine.
I was on Test Realm this morning and I thought, “Wow. They completely destroyed Efreet .” Granted the spell was a tad broken as was, but 555 for 8 pips? There is a -40% charm but worth it?
I would even pay 4 when used no damage and give -50 all enemies
rain of fire was one of the spells that made fire.. well fire. it was pretty much the best dot which is the ONLY reason people used it. first hit was for breaking shields and stuff, and the overtime was made for dealing the damage. But now the first hit isnt even that great and the overtime is just garbage! absolutely HORRIBLE move kingsisle

Completely agree with his thoughts on efreet, ROF, and sun serpent. Really sad patch for fire lol
WHY nerf ice MORE.....
Snow angel!!!! Like why nerf it. And why get rid of the taunt?! People be complaining that fire is getting nerfed hard, but they be nerfing ice from the start.
KI should focus on the graphics of the game to bring in more players instead of scaring them away with these nerfs
Right, snow angel was already not even used, so they just basically killed that AOE
Reeeeee, my go to spell!
If Efreet would have kept the 90 I wouldn’t of cared so much of the damage
They could've at least made sabertooth hit all instead of taking away the spirit shields.
16:40 ... it’s the season of sickness I guess. But that is a sick sick SICK joke KI, RUDE
I've been a fire since 2010...if those changes stay the same, half of fires utility is gone and I can guarantee no one will ever use efreet or rain again, like at all. Efreet is only used for pvp or special bosses and rain is only used in 2 boss battles
WHAT DID THEY DO TO FOSSIL!
Efreet: Keep the -90 for PvE and change it to -40 for PvP because PvE needs that -90
The changes have nothing to do with pvp. It's powercreep prevention.
Two fire spells getting nerfed. I can't catch a break with choosing my school man.
They hit Rein of fire too hard. Fire dragon is way better now. Also if you look at the damage rof only does a total of 940 where as fire dragon does way more 👀
The snowball change is actually a buff since it will do more damage with the 75 per pip and the 250 rather than the flat 85
550 gonna help on the low end but now it’s no better than plan as if using tempist
Well of all this come to live then KI had a good run. Too bad they kept trying to fix things that weren’t broken. I guess they just lost touch with the majority of their player base.
haven't played wizard 101 in like 4 years, first vid i've watched in that long, wow
They nerfed efreet to much
