Would love to see it make Balance much more enjoyable to solo with. As it stands, although balance can solo basically everything, its incredibly slow as you're a jack of all trades master of none. You dont hit hard, you dont heal high, you don't miss very often, you dont amp much. But you are able to do all of those things. Will be cool to see the ability to weave with a hitting school and actually make use.
I can't help but wonder how that would look. Maybe balance could have a +45 universal blade, and +15 blade of whatever school they weaved with? It would probably function as a mass team support spell.
Agreed. Balance need s some kind of buff vs all schools or at least a larger base resist percentage. Balance should also have a damage reflection where a percentage is reflected toward the attacker.
i'm so worried. we already have so many systems in the game. spellements. archmastery. pins. jewels. shadowpips. ontop of our regular accuracy damage% flat dmg def% flat def crit crit block the pet system (which is already reallly confusing for new players) i'm excited to get more systems but when old ones (like shadowpips) aren't even well taken care of and left behind. I don't want the game to become filled with dead confusing mechanics that make the game more cluttered and harder for new players. i really hope they know what they're doing with this. especially when we only use the same 3 spells for 170 levels how they plan on topping those spells and making it even worth while or else this is just clutter.
Yeah sort of agree with this as someone who has recently come back to the game after years of not playing and grappling with learning everything hahah. Hope they streamline some of these systems to be more easily understood in-game
I used to play,I from the beginning of game,so much has been added,they do this to keep you interested in the game,remember this is a very old game,most who started young in game are now fathers or mothers and now there children are playing the game.
Man it’s awesome Blaze still uploads! I remember watching his videos when I was like 12 looking up tutorials and updates, and now I’m 22. Keep it up dude! You’re a big part of my childhood
looking forward to this. i expect it will be pretty pointless in terms of power, and single classing will just be better, but i literally don't care. seems like a lot of fun.
7 x 6 is 42. So there’s 42 possible school combinations to try out in this Magic Weaving system. And with it, over 100 new spells had to be programmed for each of those 42 combinations.
@@malmalfactor3544 It's probably 21, however I imagine the colours or what you visually see on the card is probably going to be determined by your main school. IE. Life/Storm Energy Blade vs Storm/Life Energy blade
@@malmalfactor3544 depends a lot on how you want to consider it. Energy Blade is a single spell, but there’s two variants it seems. One that can only be used by Storm, and one that can only be used by Life. It depends on what your base school it, and what school you choose to be your weaving school. It seems Life/Storm and Storm/Life will have different sets of spells.
i feel like with every new world they do like 1 or 2 training point quest and in theory we could probably learn an entire school for this to work well but i doubt anyone would go full into a second school
I asked that during stream and they said its currently not planned because they think 7 schools is enough, but it may still be possible that they do this in the future.
I honestly was about to give up on having a secondary school. I am a storm wizard and i was getting tired of being told i don't know how to play because i tried to second in balance. Once i get another training pip i can get Ra and that should nicely complete my balance spells until this update comes out. I'm so excited for magic weaving.
With the blended spells, I’m mostly wondering how many people will go with Balance if it means you get a 45% blade of your school and 35% universal. I play Balance and I take a more supportive/defensive approach, so I might be interested in Life, Ice, and or Death.
You'll be able to change your secondary school for free. And if you change your mind again, your progress on any previous secondaries will still be there when you go back.
I think death/fire with myth will be a sleeper powerhouse build with how some of their niche spell mechanics work. Ice will probably be huge for many weaves too Death ofc cause the drains
Wouldn’t there only be 21 combinations. life weaving into death would be the same as death weaving into life, reducing the amount of unique combinations. I think the formula is 7!/(2!(7-2)!).
I mean it's a neat system, but one that wasn't needed or asked for. There's already enough annoying systems currently in game atm, so adding another confusing one seems dumb. I wish they would just focus on overhauling their old ass engine that the game still runs on. Or possibly the graphics, cause god knows wiz could use it. I mean there's still sprites that are in 480p, and clothes that have bugged textures 12 years later.
I want the green version of that mount so bad, ny death character is green and black it would be so perfect, got no crowns or money tho so that sucks☹️
@@alexmcswain880 That's not true, Balance can still use it just like any other school. Honestly, I could see lots of ways it would be beneficial to balance.
@alyxxpratt678 Well considering that wizards will receive new titles/classifications for their chosen weaving combination, that means that new identities are technically being added to the game. Thus leading to more gameplay variety.
@@alyxxpratt678The developers actually directly respond to this sentiment of “but it’s an mmo” in the live stream. I’d recommend watching that for their thoughts.
More secondary school shenanigans that I will "not" be taking part in. Newish players (post-Dragonspyre) might have a field day with this 💀 Still, spend your training points wisely...
i really don't like dual schooling, it's what made me stop playing (plus some other things). if you want to use spells of another class just play that class
@@jayfeather464 it was the sudden and forceful push (looking at you Novus final boss) into it that made me really hate it. there's no point in dual schooling unless it's for pvp. plus just other general things about the game. i started playing since before fishing was a thing so it got old over time.
I feel like things are getting too mixed and complicated now, it’s taking the point away from being a unique school that only you can be and use spells with 😭
I understand my perspective is of someone that hasn't played in several years, but I just feel like they keep branching off in so many different directions just for it to be nerfed or become dead content. Sometimes I wonder how'd it be if they just stopped w101 and made something like wizard102 and only kept the things they really wanted.
Well I think people spend a lot of money on the game and if they just decided yeah new game and drop the support of the other one, players would probably be upset
They keep trying to push dual schooling but I still don't get why you should do it. I have maxed or near maxed every school, but let's use Storm as an example since they showed off some of it. Why would I ever choose spells of another school if my Storm spells can kill everything in one or two rounds in most fights? I get that having an extra blade would be nice (like the Energy Storm/Life blade shown) but we already have so many blade options for less pips, and due to having high damage, more than a couple are overkill anyway. Maybe you can learn healing spells as a Storm if you weave with Life, but I have made it through the entire game without ever healing on my Storm (and other wizards as well). I just kill everything before they kill me.
@@ZackMuffinManit offers more flexibility for wizards still going through the game, it allows people to play off school to avoid certain boss cheats and dispells, it allows players to try diffrent schools without having to max out a new wizard... That aside as they said during the stream dual schooling or mixing diffrent school was always the intention when they designed the game, this is evident from all the gear that has stats for multiple schools, even on the earlier lvls, but eventually this idea got a bit lost cause power pips effectivly prevented dual schooling from being competetive with just using your own school.

they need to figure out what they're going to do with the level system as well as the gear, because we are hitting the point where gear stats are getting too crazy and they keep trying to balance it but it's not working, sure the new gear is good but is it going to just be a few points into stats, they need to do a level squish with an arc leveling scaling, such as when you make a new wizard you do your normal wizard city questing, but then once you hit like 10 you can choose to quest in the first arc till 50 or the second arc till 50 or the third till 50, because lets be honest the story isn't all that important persay (ok a wizard wants his dead wife back whats that got to do with whats happening now). the gear from past worlds should also be scaled down from its stats to lvl requirement that way the new gear doesnt have to be super op but would still be a big upgrade when you get it. ya the past is important to move the story in a MMO but the good stuff is the end game content, and it seems like a waste to farm and do raids just for gear to give me a few more damage only to have no use for it but to farm the same things i already was.
Weaving shadow and astral schools together would be sooooo brokenly OP so they don’t know if their going to do it yet (future) since shadow is the most powerful school in terms of story
What about the pve only players? A second school is completely useless and a huge waste of time. A second school is only useful in pvp but I’m never going to pvp anymore because they messed it up bad.

people who have lots of spellements likely already go heavy into secondary schools due to rhe unique attributes some of the spellements give

As a retired player from doing everything and being burned out this makes me wanna play again!
I always wanted something like this, I'm excited but I don't wanna get my hopes up yet!
This could actually be a cool system. A lot of people who originally played had a “secondary school” this actually makes that a thing

Everybody gonna weave with life
Nah i'll probably weave with death or balance. (Tho that extra blade by weaving life is very tempting as a storm wizard)
I think death/fire with myth will be a sleeper powerhouse build with how some of their niche spell mechanics work.

Death ofc cause the drains
