[figohsu]

<p>last month I started a new wizzy in nagafen ,and now it is lvl32 with 51AA.</p><p>My AA setting is</p><p>STA 4 4 8 8 1</p><p>Magi's Shielding 10/10</p><p>Tongue Twist 5/5</p><p>Spell Reach 1/1</p><p>Cold Whorl 5/5</p><p>Most of my spells are expert & master ,and my INT is 432.</p><p>Defeating most classes are not hard to me ,but druid ,especially warden.</p><p>I use my 3 DoTs to attack ,and i also use tongue twist & concussive to interrupt their casting ,use INT doll & WIS doll to de-buff. but my spells still got resists. most of my spell can't hurt them. especially  tongue twist, 5 casting got 4 resist, interrupt thier casting is almost impossible. </p><p>they just stand here, healing themself , wait my power out ,and give me the last strike.</p><p>is there any suggestion for me ?</p><p>i don't want to run away again when i saw a druid.</p>

Something is pretty wrong with the way you are fighting, unless you have extremely hard time being ganked over and over.</p><p>I am having same problems with T8 wardens, they are hard to kill if they have good gear and know what to do.</p><p>1) You have an option to run away.</p><p>2) Level up and get good gear, Master spells are your friends.

Someone suggested using lots of mana drain gear, but scouts have easier time with those. I would not bother trying.</p>

<p>I lost horribly to a druid last night who had only 285 health, and I was hitting him with Master spells. I got his health down to less than half, he healed and I had nothing to heal myself with so I lost.</p><p>I've been finding myself losing a lot to players that are a level or two lower than me, despite the fact I have almost 900 health at level 16, Mastercrafted gear (still need to make some for my current level), and I've been experimenting with rotating my spells to handle different situations, but I'm still losing. I read the wizzy PvP article but it doesn't address what happens when you get faceplanted. I also started going down the STA  AA tree and put points in health in the Shadows tab.</p>

<p>This is what I did in everforst</p><p>Put on that necklace ability lets you breaths under the water for 12 hours</p><p>Jump into the water and make them follow you</p><p>go down deep, they follow</p><p>There breath runs out yours doesnt and you use ring of ice on them</p><p>The freeze and loose tehre health to breath and you sue an ice comet and some other stuff</p><p>And they die</p><p>but I guess it depends where you are at the time but making air run out is always a good way.</p><p>Also if you can get your ice comet then interupt, interupt and then use aurora when you are half way to reuse you can use aurora and then ice comet again with free hand sorcery added you should take out a lot of health. Which should be ready if you used it the first time with ice comet.</p><p>Oh also if you have the flaming rhino mount from lavastorm and some food food and drink and of course armor with nice heals on you can just make them hit you a lot and not fight back they will run otu of power after a bit. And not do enough damage that the mount won't heal you for. At least at level 50s I dunno about anything higher. Just stay out of combat till they tires out.</p>

[Mwahaha]

<p>Both druids have a buff that lets them breath underwater so that warden = epic fail for not using it.</p>

<p>Firstly a druid is a class that def has action at beating you period but now that some of our spells land its much easier . Cast all your dots firstly with storming tempest in the middle of them or at the end ... immediatly follow up with your stifle and cast your small stun followed up with lastly Ice comet .... dead druid . the dots are to make them cure as opposed to heal for a moment and hoping they dont cure storming in the midst by casting all your dots . If they are half health bt the time your heavier nukes hit they honestly wont make it even in open world pvp although in BG they are very cake .</p>

Thats enough to go down the STA AA tree and get manashield. As a new wizzy that is a very nice tool. Once you get higher lvls, you can spend more AA on other defensive buffs like Magi Shielding and Ward of Sages to improve your survivability. Use of your invisibility helps too.</p>

Speccing Manashield vs a druid (or healer in general) is worst idea ever. I guess that was a general response, and not another "how to defeat a druid" idea.
