The framing is opinionated, but that can be useful when a class is being dismissed. Use this as a counterpoint to older High Wizard guides and verify whether the route fits your content focus.

How to use this guide

Use this as a build planning reference for High Wizard, but copy the decision logic before copying the exact numbers. ROOC builds can change quickly when server level, refine access, card supply, and guild PvP priorities move.

For this guide, pay special attention to magic damage windows, control, and positioning. If your account is newer, under-geared, or mostly F2P, follow the cheaper stat, skill, and gear priorities first, then treat expensive upgrades as later optimizations.
