Wizard and belly casters

[eqravenprince]

Someone needs to educate me, I've been told Wizards are great on raids in classic due to 32k hp limit. However Naggy, Vox and Phinny are all belly caster. The moment I get close enough to hit with a nuke, I die due to aoe. How in the world can a wizard do any dps to a belly caster without dieing?

Buy resist gear. They are short fights and you don't need much mana. As you can see dead dps is zero dps.

[Scalem]

Just nuke from range, do 0 damage sit down and med. Not like anyone will notice or care with the other 200 people there killing the bosses in 10 seconds.

After 3 straight raids of getting 1 nuke off and dieing, that's all I do.

[Gustoo]

Like others have said, I dunno whats going on but your guild should be able to provide some good advice. The main thing is that you need to wear resist gear so that the enemy spells don't decimate you.

100% full resist gear. When you go against VOX, SV cold gear stack it heavy and deep

When you go against nagafen??? Yes, SV fire gear.

Trakanon? SV poison gear.

Thats what all those seemingly stupid and useless stats are for. There is actually more than just the INT, mana, and HP stat in this game.

Good luck with your adventures!

[Tunabros]

if you are going to raids where you are able to kill naggy, vox, etc

you should know you need good resist already

[Nibblewitz]

Use your rune spells (diamondskin, manaskin, etc.)

Maximize resists and hp through gear and buffs.

For indoor dragons, you can nuke in between AoEs and be protected by line of sight.

This gave me a chuckle, you should have diamondskin or whatever and have a full suit of fire or cold resist depending which dragon you go kill, also keep in mind if the dragon is being pushed you need to start casting ahead of it so the nuke goes off when it is vertical. The belly isnt the belly its more like the chest

And honestly theres no challenge when everything is zerged down by 200 people in 5 seconds i have no idea why people dont try red where you have to small man dragons and content with risk of pvp 10x better

Exactly, most classes can just show up and /afk at a raid and it won't change the outcome with the numbers that show up. The biggest challenge is the race and even then there isn't much competition with how often ST wins them. If this dude actually wants to be useful at raids he should practice racing. Wizards get one of the best FTE clickies for races.

[Gustoo]

When are the earthquakes / simulated repops going to start happening?

[Thulian]

Never, they are not classic

[Gustoo]

Patches are classic but don't happen here cuz it isn't live. So resetting the server randomly is the only classic thing to do. Servers went down all the time for various reasons, and therefore were reset. Staff planned on simulated resets randomly to keep the server classic and keep mobs from being locked on guild timers but im not totally sure what happened with that plan. Its a clear solution.

[Fammaden]

Quakes should be the only form of raid mob respawn.

People not acknowledging red being dead are as foolish as Trump not acknowledging he's lost the election

I have resist gear and have gotten solo exp kill on Vox. No one can touch wizard dps on boss fights as long as you get to keep landing nukes. (This changes once Velious bosses are out with tons more hp).

Surprised you didn't die when he did over 1500 damage in seconds, how much HP do you have?

[magnetaress]

wizards get the best series of resistance buffs idk why u fail so hard. literally +50 from spells and +50 from gear, gg, u will have room left over for +INT/mana gear

[getsome]

Unless a dragon feared. I always maxed hp. Double runed and probable clicked wort pots to always keep above 80% health so the aoe would not one shot me. Gear wise the weezard was an alt and had epic and bis classic/kunark gear available outside VP (no shissar gauntlets either)

run up do one cast and immediately blow a full wand of conflag/ice. its a lot of dps even if you pull agro and die or dont have resist gear to survive long enough from aoe's. Otherwise you are one of if not the best kiting class in the game for adds / lair trash.

[Zipity]

Wizards kiting lair trash is such a repugnant waste of DPS.
