Class Wizard

Wizard

A caster of one school, always available. 35 health, 3 attack damage, speed 0.26, no knockback resistance.

Variants: fire, frost or arcane, set by its equipment entry or random. Leather armor is dyed in the school's color.

Behavior

• Circles its target at about 7.5 blocks and casts from up to 24 blocks.
• Double bolt: two quick bolts per cast (attack power × 0.4 each).
• Homing bolts: against a target that stands still, a volley of four homing bolts that burst on impact (radius 4, × 0.2).
• Nova: a target that comes closer than about 5 blocks is hit by a nova around the wizard (radius 6, × 0.6, enableNova in [combat], default true), followed by a jump back, or by a short sweep of its staff.
• Fire spells set targets on fire, frost spells slow them (Slowness II), arcane bolts fly 25 % faster.

Spells need line of sight, never hurt other renegades, never set blocks on fire and never break blocks. Spell damage is magic damage: it ignores armor. A raised shield facing a bolt blocks it like an arrow (no damage, no fire or slowness); the nova and the bursts go through shields. See Classes → Magic for spell power.

Countering it

• Keep moving: the homing volley is only cast at a target that stands still.
• Raise a shield against the bolts.
• Do not stay within 5 blocks for long – the nova hits everything around it.
