oh, looks like you got more skill issue

The useless torch for 2 turns, no damage, and blind for a turn wand

you have never used the wand if you think it gives only two turns of torch, even a +0 one gives 4 turns and blinds 2.6 turns, and the blinding really comes in handy when dealing with ranged enemies like those pesky scorpios, warlocks heck even against those succubus, demon rippers that jumps on you can't jump as long as they are blind

the needs tons of setup and either having lots of this wand or lots of upgrades on it to be somewhat decent

as i said you got skill issue if you always need to do or can't do setup(can't imagine how you setup corrosion if you can't setup wards), the only time you should spend lots of time in setup is in boss fights, and needs a lot of upgrades to be "decent" you say, you can even defeat the dwarf king one handedly if you got lots of upgrades, if that is decent then a corrosion wand with lots of upgrades is basically useless ๐Ÿคก

ooh I summon grass ๐Ÿ‘

as i said you got skill issue, again you have no idea how useful that grass is against ranged enemies, you keep and keep hitting them and except trying to come close to you they can't do anything and if you have ever played the game then you would know how weak ranged enemies become in melee, not to mention that grass gives you seeds, dew drops and plants so yeah that grass is super useful compared to some gas

the most simple and plain and almost secondary effectless magic missile wand just get a zapping or disintegration wand

i don't understand goo goo gaga language, learn to write proper English first cuz this sentence doesn't even talk about how magic missile is worse then corrosion and if i need to explain how useful the upgrades magic missile then i pity you

The only one I agree is better than the corrosive wand is better

again your sentence is missing some words and got extra useless words

I can't imagine how this mf will react when he discovers he can take cover against ranged enemies. And, like, why setup with a +three thousand warding wand when you can just invest those in armor and damage and just kill the threat.

taking cover =/= attacking enemies while they can't and the warding was just an example since you said it only becomes "decent" with lots of upgrades

Ok, but while you spend your upgrades on wands of prismatic light, I use them on armor and weaponry and just kill them. And the enemies still pathfind towards you while blinded, so you can't even attack melee enemies that way. I will keep using wands that don't need upgrades to be good, like fireblast, corrosive, blastwave and transfusion and you keep +15 your warding but dying to monks and golems
