I just learned two things that would have made my previous games much simpler, especially for the Wizard:
1. You can put multiple rods (and I'm assuming this works for any class/weapon type) in the same bag. Initially I thought it was just telling me that I couldn't put another rod in the bag since I had one equipped.
2. That you could actually equip them at any point, not just inside town or when the game gives you the option to pick which gear you want before continuing.
This means you can cover all enemy weaknesses as long as you have three rods that are around the same damage levels.
Such a derpy thing to realize after 20+ hours.
oh, you're getting info from some pr0 JP player videos. tell me more.
I'm going to level up extinction but not sure what else, levitation for the 50% maybe? Thunderbolt seems shitty as meteor storm.
I thought Meteor sucked as well, due to it's horrendous casting time. But for bosses, I'd think a high level Slow and a high level Meteor would actually work wonders. Not so great for trash though. Possibly max out Extinction, Slow and Meteor. Extinction for trash, Meteor+Slow for bosses. Or just stick with Flame Burst.
Levitate is probably one of the best skills you can get too. As the other poster said, jump and either just spam your basic circle attack on your way down for single target, or charge it for multiple enemies.
