Can't make anything higher than g1 in beta, except for a few people, so how are we supposed to know if Wizard with G10 Vigor and G10 Basic can make it balanced or not? Does anyone know exactly how Basic Resist works? My Wizard in beta was level 123 with 144 Magery and g8 vigor (with symbol), but my Firebird only does like 5-6k to thieves and archers, and even less to warriors and priest. That's only like 15-18k damage with 3-hit FB. Even if all three hits were BR, I don't think I could kill anyone who added ENDU. Even if all BR hits was enough, what's the chances of all BR hits? 3%. Not to mention it's hard enough to get 3 regular FB hits.
I'm new to Wizard so I don't know how much difference BR makes.
I think Basic Resit just ignores the player's magic resistance. Magic resist would be the number on your attributes screen next to where it says R. Poison, R. Paralysis, R. Holy, etc. It starts out at 70, but can be increased with items of course. I don't think that Basic Resist does anything against ENDU, White AC, or Spells, but it's been so long since I last played DR that I can't remember for sure.
