What makes wood so bad?

I never seen a wood user

pray you don’t

(if you see a wood conj tho, I give u permission to gank.)

There really isn’t anything wrong with wood, its just that other magics can do what it can easier/better/stronger

why is everyone saying wood is outclassed by other magics.

have y’all even seen the stats?

if anything, I’d argue that wood might actually be the better option than some other magics currently available, like, explosion for example. (wood and explosion can technically be viable but by pure stats alone I think wood’s a superior contender.)

I will never forgive diamond magic for replacing my precious beautiful brown eyed king mud magic :cry:

Ok here we go

First of all, is the clash rates.
Wood does good vs light weight magic but horrible vs everything else.

Second of all, its only status effect is bleeding, nothing else. All other magics that inflict bleeding have something else good going for them (Like glass creating glass shards and metal being big) but wood just does better when targets are afflicted with heat based magic (Which can be extinguished with ice/snow/water(all somewhat popular magics)).

Finally, It only synergizes with heat based magic, which means you lose viability in water based warfare.

Now it should be mentioned that once the 2nd awakening comes out, you could rock a solid mage build with earth, explosion, and wood, since all three have positive synergies with each other, but as of now, its just ok and has at the moment, better options. (Like glass, especially now that Arcanium armor allows people to reach some insane amount of damage)

literally nobody cares about this stat.

thats… insanely useful? especially as a synergy magic that primarily boosts heat? it can even boost ice and acid, which aren’t heat related, but strengthens my point.

glass shards are literally barely noticeable and wood is also big.

“extinguished” nah man it’s usually the other way around lmao, water might have some advantage but wood wins in clash against water (which, again, none of this matters lol, when has clashing ever been useful in a real fight where the meta is dodging and blocking?)

I guess acid and sand aren’t real.

wood grants power and defense.

which is also, very good.

also, that doesn’t come with any cons, whereas glass makes you take more damage.

oh yea btw in the future there’s going to be a way to “waterproof” your magic so the whole heat magics being outclassed argument is basically dead lol

lets jump the wood hater to showcase a non heat magic synergy

literally every antiwood argument I’ve seen so far sucks lol

really the only truly valid argument for wood is that it looks kinda weird

and… yea tbh it could use some better visuals.

Ice is just a direct upgrade from it(even after stuns were brutally decapitated). Wood isn’t bad, it’s just outclassed.

Clash Rates can decide who wins a fight since they determine which attack goes first.

Im not saying it aint useful, the only one it synergizes that works underwater is with acid and there are better magics to combo it with like plasma.

Glass Shards can damage opponents and it can be tricky to pay attention to both the ground and the fight

A. Heat based magic, which are the only thing that brings the punch out of wood are weak to cold magic users
B. Have you ever been in a mage fight? Clashes happen all the time and when it comes down to the wire, wood has a higher chance of losing, which only increases your chance to lose.

Sand doesn’t work underwater

You are correct about this, but in my experience, the more damage and accurate you are, the quicker the fight ends.

Oh yea btw that update hasnt happened yet, and wont for many ore months to come.

Man im not saying its bad, but its just gonna struggle with the heat thats all.
Also more wood skins, I would love to see some redwood.

dude what game are you playing lmao cuz that doesn’t like AO

…okay so you basically haven’t actually played this game because if you did you’d realize how much better acid is than plasma.

???

I had a stroke reading this, your argument is falling apart

lol I am a mage you klutz, clashes literally almost never happen beause people… dodge

you’d be surprised (unless they changed it)

yea that only works with metal mage though and with how annoying the size meta is I don’t think you want to lose your defenses

TL;DR: Opticalcord 2.0

nah.

it’s average damage with the exact same speed stat as wood. (wood deals high damage coupled with bleed DPS/DPT)

and it can’t be used underwater unlike wood.

I guess you could see it more like the cold counterpart to wood, but the stuns have been nerfed so like, it’s honestly worse…

Man doesn’t want to be wrong. lol.

because nothing you say is right lmfao :sob:

the literal SECOND you unironically typed out “acid is outclassed by plasma”, I realized that the battle was basically already done.

pro tip: play the game.

@AwesomeOS can you read this guy’s yap just to make sure I’m not losing my mind because this stuff is so absurd I think it’s infecting me.

no

who cares

its so hard to press d to move slightly and miss all the glass shards that solely exist on the floor

who cares

yes i am a mage and no i dont clash

does not matter at all

what does this have to do with magic this is literally saying “if you can aim you win faster :fearful:”

nobody is fucking stupid enough to pvp underwater if none of their attacks work underwater this literally does not matter at all

Well then. Stay mad :stuck_out_tongue:

@AwesomeOS

I have a feeling we’ve been april fooled.
