Is wood magic good or not?

w o o d

it’s ass I’ve been using it since WoM open test 1 and the only thing it ever had going for it were its many synergies but they were gutted over time. On it’s own it’s too weak to be played as a slow magic and too slow to be played as a fast magic.

Oh yeah I remember winning clashes against King David Silver’s attacks, good times.

build hybrid, that can be broken asf on wood :person_shrugging:

Wood is quite literally intrinsically a good magic and anyone who hates on it is objectively wrong

worse ice imbue

…why are you comparing wood to ice they’re like completely different :broken_heart:

they’re not, wood is kinda like heat magic ice

BUT IT SUCKS

The bait is rotten at this point just give it up everyone knows wood is viable :broken_heart:

NEVER !!! (cs)

Wood magic is like fire magic.

Pretty basic but good enough.

Same goes to water magic.

yes, wood is a good magic, end of story.

If you want some reasoning, compare it to Metal, Earth, and Ice (realtively speaking, some of the more similar magics, this order, M, E, I; will be continued for all future references, metal first, earth second, ice last, regardless of if any are skipped).

Its one of the high damaging bleed magics (like earth and metal), its the weakest of the bunch at only 0.95x (1.025x, 1x, 0.975x; but its got a lot of benefits.

compared to metal and earth, its got better speed than both (0.8x compared to 0.65 and 0.7), and comparable size to the three, with only earth being larger. if it ended here, it’d seem like a negative, buts woods got a couple extra perks: 5% Bleed and Synergies.

First, unlike Earth and ice, its actually got its own status. sure, both dealmore base damage, but the bleed DoT is quite useful, and synergizes with most other statuses; same for the fact that unlike Metal and Earth, it actually has synergies.

Earth and Metal only synergize with Corroding, Crystalized, Melting, and in earths case, Bleeding. sure, they also work with frozen, but this only lasts a second, and for the game right now, thats probably more of 0.5 seconds. You aren;t getting the damage bonus from most of these magics. Earth also requires 33% damage to get its bleed synergy, which is slightly easier with its better base damage, but thats still a lot you’ve got to deal.

This is where Wood sits closer to ice. Its good synergies with heat magics is like how ice works for cold and liquids; i’d say the only downside on this end is not getting the 20%-Bleed bonus from ice magic.

Overall:

Big Magic
Decent speed compared to other powerhouse magics
high damage
easy to apply DoT
good synergies (heat)

probable contender for ugliest magic in the game (pray we see the Wotan so the magic can get a visual update).

works for Mage and Warlock(thermo). Paladin will work in the future(ember staff), and same for conjurer (arcanium forging, if we can choose our elements).

The real thing wood makes you notice is how utterly BS ice magic is. like ice currently works on every build ridiculously well (except paladin rn but who cares).

aka Wood is like icy Earth. But both are magics overshadowed by metal despite being better in hybrids than it

best multirole magic, when i tried it its good

I don’t get the complaint about the Wood vfx. Don’t get me wrong, the blast does look ass, but as do most other solid magics’. Like, beam, explosion, and even conj imbues look really nice

Boo! JOBS! did i scare you?

you should get one fr

Only reason i would pick is for the Madara build(gonna need the second awakening).
Tho still it is a “based” magic
