I can garantue you the 700 mana aren't doing sh*t. Now it takes 2.5 sec to run out of mana instead of 2sec, and since we lose mana recovery, we're more likely to die because no mana. Both awk casters need real improvements and not crap like this

The thunderstorm change is nice, I don't know why Wiz didn't get an equivalent change.

Awakening Witch grab when then? Since we used to have Q block instead of it. Wizard received S block, but Witch got nothing in return :)

I still agree that making the classes so similar yet slightly different is a bad approach. Give them proper identities and rework awakening mages in general, or add true levels of tankiness to their SAs.

i would suggest grab and block become choice picks in the kit on both specs like succession casters can pick versions of their skills

Main problems I have with AWK wizard are:

- pet dies instantly when I bomb into players during node/siege

- forward guard gets one skilled by most dps classes (granted I'm only full tri FG but so are majority of pvp players and the extra 12 dr from full tet armors is negligible at the level of AP most players have)

- elementalization needs to be iframe at start. this skill is basically a suicide button if you try to use it reactively during pvp

- you basically need to invest hard into evasion for endgame pvp but the only evasion scaling comes from our E buff. properly building for evasion is super high investment (pen debo neck, pen distos) and you will still be one skilled by evasion shredding classes or properly built DR/ACC builds

We're outranged or outmaneuvered by almost every pvp viable class so we have to play as a bomber but we have a 10s cd on double tp, 3 min cd on archwizard tp, and elementalization = instant death during SA, while not even repositioning us far enough away from the enemy. The bombing potential of the class is really good, but we desperately need an extra iframe so that we don't just get run over when we're waiting on our extremely long CDs. If theres a way to buff our FG or make elementalization not garbage, I think awk wiz would be S tier
