Guinevere talent grid – worth developing?

[zephyr1]

In addition to useful thoughts in this thread, there’s a lengthy discussion about Guinevere’s usefulness as a Wizard in a few other threads:

Why is Guin a Wizard?

I mean I understand the idea is to tone her down but the wizard talent literally doesn’t effect her other than defensive stat buffs (which any hero can choose). The vast majority of the class are nukers which makes sense because Jinx adds damage. Guin doesnt do damage. Onatel is kind of the same to a lesser extent. Anyways I’m sure this isn’t an original thought but it just seems like an un-creative way to change tank meta.

Classes and the defense meta

People have been clamoring for a change-up in the meta to dethrone Guinevere. Welcome to Classes. Goodbye, Guinevere. Hello, Gravemaker.

Heroes Do not Match Classes

One example is Guinevere, she is classed as a wizard, but is wielding a mace which is clearly, to any experienced role player, a cleric’s weapon. There is actually a post o…

A Quick Fix for the Wizard Class

There’s been much discussion about some of the odd classing choices, particularly Kiril and Guinevere’s obvious oddity as wizards. Most of the solutions proposed involve switching heroes classes, but there’s an easier way. The wizard talent reads: “+5% chance to deal +15% extra damage per active buff the enemies have. The extra damage applies to both normal attacks and Special Skills.” The frustration for players is that some heroes classed as wizards don’t deal damage with their specials, and …
