This GM ruling may push me never to play my wizard again

hmm what about bards then. it takes 10-20 min min to gather all the mobs.

I'm always surprised at how reluctant necros and wizzies are to team up.

Me and my friend levelled a necro/wizard duo (frogloks of innoruuk, naturally) up to 65 on Live. It was awesome.

It's a shame OP and Necro couldn't make things work out ;p.

Yeah I was in OT last night when this happened. What could have been settled amicably turned into this wizard nerd-raging. Instead of just asking the necro to not tag his mobs if he's snared them, he started going off in OOC about how he was being ks'd.

I feel much worse for druids than anything. At least wizzies have chardok pulls for insane exp and money, and are semi wanted in raids and highly sought after in velious. Druids can uh..... sow and uh...... semi decent power level.....

druids get Protection of the Glades next expac.. and their own Divine Light spell. They will be needed in raids where mob HP is 10x what it is now.

Mages can't root park unless we use spider nets. Not gonna blow 1k to keep three seafuries rooted.

I should've clarified. I was talking about these classes that have been duoing, aside from the druids. I have seen a lot of shamans and mages partner up and root park 6-8 mobs because I think the limit for one person is 4 so when they group up they pull more than that.

Druids tho? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You misunderstood me. I wasn't saying Wizards were the only class that can quad. I was saying that quadding is the wizard's iconic skill that is akin to a monk FD or a cleric Rez. Aside from teleporting what is the other big class defining skill they have? Quadding.

How exactly is it that teleporting and quadding serve to distinguish wizards from druids? I mean, planar teleports, sure. Someday (we hope) translocates, also. Eventually, maybe manaburn as well. But teleports and quad-kiting, the two shared abilities that both classes are very well known for? That's akin to calling dual wield the warrior's class defining skill.
