The Witch is the female counterpart of the male Wizard in Black Desert, specializing in all schools of magic. Her explosively elemental spells are conjured through a staff in one hand and a dagger in their other, laying waste to all foolish enough to stand in her way.
Play Style
Witches specialize in extreme offensive AoE spells, ranging from slows, knock downs, short duration stuns, and damage. The downside of all that AoE carnage is them being relatively frail in 1 vs 1 pvp. Fighting in groups is a whole different matter, due to their extremely useful (and often overlooked) support skills that provide excellent heals and shields to their group. In essence they are a fantastic group play class, and only the expert level play allows for solo fighting.
New players will find Witches very forgiving and easy to pick up and play, while also leaving plenty of room for individual player skill growth into expert level play. With strong utilization of buffs and timing the Witch can easily clear areas.
