Blaze Wizard or Luminous
Im looking for a class that can boss well and reached the conclusion to choose between these 2. I know BW are super OP right now but I lag alot when using their orbital skill so it seems a bit patchy to me. I do think tho that their Blazing Extinction skill is bloody ridiculous. But after talking to some people, I heard that Lumi are super good bossers for low funds as well.
So yeah, Ive got about 400m I can spend, which of the two should I choose? Please dont comment about their gameplay, I had fun playing both of them. Just want to know which one is easier to train and bosses well. Thanks
Also, feel free to mention other classes which can fulfill the same. Just please dont recommend f/p. I tried one and I didnt understand how poison works so I just gave up

[quote=ayushgarg]Has there been any announcement of the BW nerf? I know that they got nerfed in KMS around this time but I havent seen any announcements about it in GMS. Also, the only problem I have with BW's is Orbital Flame since there is alot of lag as I dont live in the US. Will there be any negative effect?[/quote]
It's just a nerf from super strong -> strong/decent (with regular, stable ping). The patch will come around sooner or later.
Personally I don't really like BW that much because of the delay I get playing from outside US, which slows down orbital flame. Seems like Lumi isn't going to get any changes so far, and our Lumi is (mobbing wise at least) stronger than KMS' Lumi.

@mvietp09 I made a Lumi and it's MP was nowhere near my BW when it was at the same level. At level 100 my BW had over 10k MP (Haven't checked but I think it was around like 18k MP) and since most damage was going to my MP and not HP it meant I didn't have to use an HP pot as much whilst also being able to dish out a bunch of damage all at once before my MP ran out.
Lumi = great bosser while in equilibrium due to ender spam, average at best while not in equilibrium.
BW = good bosser even after nerf and more consistent dps compared to lumi who relies more on burst dps.
I prefer lumi if considering everything, not just bossing.
Let's say with the same range, I think BWs are better than Lumis at bossing, but you gotta try to stay in that burning aura lol. I believe, however, even after nerf, they are still good. Just watched a video of a lumi and a bw, both doing 100m cap, the bw is obviously better, but that's without nerf yet. He will show me a video of the nerf when it comes, and i'll tell you the time's difference based on his videos soloing vellum. www(.)youtube.com(/)watch?v=KzJcv4Jn7BQ&list=UU6uVMpsMEas8ReVymWRU0oA <- lumi ---- www(.)youtube.com(/)watch?v=CD6JhUpn6HU <- bw.
BW 3:04 (without nerf)
Lumi 5:33 (I'm assuming this is the KMS's version of lumi, meaning which they can enter more equilibrium more quickly)
[quote=mvietp09]If you're going to go bw, make it soon cause blazing extinctions range gets nerfed soon. Lumis will forever be amazing at training and their survivability is unmatched IMO. Haven't compared mp of be and lumi, but I'm pretty sure lumi has the highest mp of all the mages, that plus passive magic guard means no deaths.[/quote]
Ehhhhh I'd say Bishops are wayyy more tanky than Lumis, even if Lumi has more MP. And passive mg does not mean no deaths (cough CRA/Hellux ugh)
Blaze Wizards will be getting nerfed hard so their bossing capabilities will go down the drain. As far as I heard, Lumi are just average bossers, but possibly the best mobbers in the game. I would say go Lumi. There's no point in putting so much effort into a Blaze Wizard when you're probably going to be disappointed by it when the nerf arrives.

My totally not biased opinion would be blaze wizard.
