Wizard Fire-Earth
WizardBurst AoE farming and MVP damageAs of 2026-08 (SEA, Wizard stage Lv.40-69)

Meteor Storm and Fire Pillar do the damage. Stone Curse, Quagmire and the Earth spells petrify and slow, and petrified targets become Earth-element, so Fire spells hit them much harder. Special skills turn Meteor Storm into one giant meteor. This is the highest raw PvE burst, and Fire and Earth counter more MVPs, but meteors are slow and easy to dodge in PvP.

Stat Priority
- 1. INT
- 2. DEX
- 3. VIT
INT is the damage stat. DEX reduces Variable Cast Time and adds hit. Around DEX 40 is enough for -100% VCT with good gear, with everything else going into INT. As a base, 70 INT / 40 DEX works, with a Meteor Storm cast time near 1.3s once developed.

Tips
- Fire and Earth counter roughly twice as many MVPs as Water and Wind, and Fire also hits Undead for bonus damage.
- Petrify first: a Stone Curse or Quagmire setup can take Meteor Storm from about 180k to about 300k.
- Meteors are slow, so players dodge them in PvP; Ice-Lightning is the better PvP pick.
- The in-game Build Master tab shows a recommended Earth-Fire gear, card and rune set you can copy.
- MVP fights can skip Storm Gust and take Heaven's Drive 10 for Wind-element bosses; dungeon and Endless Tower runs swap Heaven's Drive for Storm Gust to freeze packs.
