The Wizard class on The Heroes' Journey (THJ) features several unique enhancements compared to Live servers. With customized spell crit mechanics, expanded AA availability, and specialized damage potential, Wizards excel as high-burst spellcasters. This guide covers key differences, auto-granted AAs, skill progression, and class mechanics.
- Enhanced Spell Crit Stacking: Most sources of increased spell critical damage and critical-hit chance now stack.
- Expanded AAs: Many out-of-era AAs are available in every expansion but balanced for THJ.
- Custom Wizard Epic 1.0 becomes available upon Kunark’s release.
| AA | Cooldown / Cost | Description |
|---|
| Gather Mana | Passive | Channels additional streams of mana into the caster. |
| Improved Familiar | Passive / 2 s | Summons an improved familiar: more HP, resists, crit chance, mana pool, and effective caster level. |
| Harvest of Druzzil | Passive | Chance to regain mana on a spell kill. |
| Bazaar & Back Gate | 10 min | Teleports to Bazaar while out of combat. |
| Eyes Wide Open VIII | Passive | Expands extended target window capacity. |
| Mystical Attuning V | Passive | Raises simultaneous mystical-effect limit. |
Wizards receive all class skills automatically at level 1, increasing them through use. Some skills (e.g., Bash or Mend) may appear due to the server’s multiclassing system, but they cannot be used unless assigned at least one skill point.
