It's time to just remove Court Wizard

This class does not belong in the Blue Dragon roster. It is just a shit version of the Physician.

I will outline in full why this class does not belong in the game.

  1. Ice ward is a worse version of the Physicians heal in almost every aspect. Notable exceptions are:
  • Blocking an empowered eradicate
  • Blocking a reap
  • Blocking a scorned frame on someone who coincidentally is also being investigated by a sheriff/paladin/king.
  1. Charge is a worse version of Reanimate in almost every aspect. Notable exceptions are:
  • A prince uses all of their executes correctly and somehow you, the CW, and the prince, survive until the late stages of the game, and after you charge the prince they survive for the next 3 days to execute more Cult/Unseen.

Ice ward is more useful to the fucking Cult/Unseen because it’s more likely to block an investigation than an attack. There is actually no purpose to CW at the current time, and every game it appears it serves as a handicap to the BD. God forbid you get double CW, I can almost guarantee games with double CW result in overwhelming amounts of losses.

CW as it is would be a better fit in the Unseen. Swap sage and CW or just remove CW.

Just wanted to point out that rechare is NOTHING like reanimate. Recharge let’s someone use an ability. Reanimate gives the BD a Dark night for 3 days. They are incomparable.

As for the barrier there is something I would like to point out. It blocks:

Kills (even empowered ones)
Converts
Occupation
Redirects
Frames
Investigation (can be bad if it’s Unseen/cult investigating)
Heals

Of those only 1 of them can be blocked by anything other than Merc, Prince or Sage and that is Kills.

Basically ice ward is the strongest protective ability in the game as far as what it can stop.

Agree. #GETEMOUT

Honestly though they are quite a handicap for BD. and they can end up recharging the possessor or cult or whatever.

CW is pretty much the most powerful non-unique class of BD.

#5

I would argue that Observer is. He can “Guard” (its indirect but can even find the MM) can check factions (better than sheriff/pally) and gets additionally info.

#6

wtf

how is Ice Ward a less powerful heal lol

#7

But that’s besides the point.

#8

Yeah, Court Wizard is soooo bad atm, please remove it… :confused: also Noble had so many changes and still is in weak/weird spot… please rework these 2 class again :confused:

#9

You can only ice ward twice in a row before having to change. Ice ward blocks investigatives (does not benefit BD in all cases). Ice ward requires a BD to waste a night visiting a warded target to prove.

The bonus for this sacrifice? You block some situational attacks if a specific set of classes are in play.

#10

Less provable is good in general, and ice warding blocks all evil actions. That’s much more than a mere heal.

I think cw would be ok if heals went through the barrier and invest skills. It would not be annoying for fellow BD players anymore this way. Right now he is really obstructing his own team that much that people don’t want to use his skills in early game.

The recharge is powerful and can be really tactically used. So it’s use is situational and can end up backfiring. But i think the recharge is fine on him.

The changes to the barrier i just proposed are enough to make CW better again. Though he will still be kinda boring to play and similar to the 1.0.6 CW before they added the double barrier. The Thing is that the Barrier does not even tell you anymore if it protected your target or not. Though i guess that is a necessary balance change, since the barrier became more powerful

So it prevents mind warps (exceedingly rare for the respective classes to appear) and conversions (what’s stopping MM/CL converting the CW in the late game?). CW is simply not as relevant as Phys unless there are specific and infrequent situations at play.

CW is fine. Please, don’t complain about things that don’t need complaining

#14

CW is the worst class in the game and also completely not fun to play. So yeah, it definitely needs to be complained about.

#15

CW. IS. FINE. It does it’s damn job which is preventing vists.

#16

and wasting king inspects like every other game. just let heals and inspects through than he is fine

right now you can just try to guess the most popular inspects to troll your own team

#17

“Like every other game” IT PREVENTS VISTS. IT IS FUCKING FINE.
YOU AREN’T PROVIDING EVIDENCE. ALSO WHY WOULD HEALS NEED TO GO THROUGH?

#18

Stop using Caps. If there was a system that I could ban a class that I wont’t want to play it would be Court Wizard in every single game. If you are happy playing this class, then I guess you are in minority. This class needs a rework for sure.

#19

-_- You aren’t supporting your points. I haven’t seen anything that convinces me to change it

#20

Honestly I just think it needs to not have the 2 per person restriction. A poison or Bleed can bypass the defense so it isn’t unbeatable if there is 2 on each other.

Even if there is phys. Confirmed CW 1, Confirmed CW 2.

CW 1 is on CW 2 is on CW 1

Assassin poisons CW 1

CW 2 is no longer on CW 1 so that Phys can heal him

MM converts CW 1
