Welcome to the Wizard101 Message Boards

I was just wondering what people thought the best class to play was. Something good for pvp and pve. Also I would like to know what people think of the fire class.

Info about each school plus some cool spells

Ice: Good defense and Highest health. Ice students are somewhat weak when attacking. Nice accuracy. 80%. Ice wyvern, Colossus, Ice Giant

Storm: Great Offense. Lowest health and Lowest accuracy. 70% Kraken, Stormzilla, Triton

Life: Heals others. Theurgists have good moves and the highest accuracy.90% Seraph, Centaur, Satyr, Sanctuary

Myth: Have minions to help. Good spells. 75% Minotaur, Humungofrog, Earthquake

Death:Have good moves and good accuracy. Traps boost damage for example feint gives the user and the enemy 70% to next attack. 85% accuracy. Skeletal pirate, wraith, vampire, scarecrow

Balance: Well rounded. Hydra, Judgment. 85% accuracy

Fire: Good attacks. 75% accuracy. Helephant, Phoenix, Dragon

If any class were the "best" in that generality, it would need to be nerfed.

In a properly balanced game, there are no bad classes, but only bad players. Sometimes the density of competent players varies by class, which can create the illusion that some classes are better than others.

In WoW, the "strongest" class is whichever one most recently had its talent trees redone. That will change by the time you're high level, of course.

Here, if your criterion is well balanced, then perhaps try the Balance class.

there is no best class. each class has its strengths and weaknesses. it all depends on what you prefer. :-)

I agree with most everyone else that right now (at least to a newish person like myself) that the game seems pretty well-balanced and that the best class is the one that best fits your play-style.

I personally found the little quiz that they give you at the beginning to be pretty accurate as far as it figuring out my play-style. In other games I normally like to play the 'tank' type, and the quiz said I should be an Ice wizard.

I think also, more than just your primary class, picking a good complementary secondary class/other skills and equipment also goes a long way toward refining your play-style and turning a good wizard into a great one.

:-) Also most importantly the best wizard no matter what anyone else says is the one that you are having the most fun playing.
