Hmm, I'm trying out wizard right now and it's not too bad...i outfitted her with jboots and solist wand. It is nice and peaceful to play. After work it's just nice to do something simple and fun as blasting a mob down with nukes.

I've thought of enc a lot but just seems it requires too much attention. And although I enjoyed charming, I did it a lot on my druid already...after awhile it feels like i'm just watching two NPCs go at it while sitting on my bum, lol

do wizzies have an end game besides raiding? because my 56 mage seems to be good only at being a CoH/Mod rod bot, and I do not enjoy that...and yet I can't go out there and try neat places by myself very well, either

Hang around and port/TL people. Quad Seafuries/Wyverns. If you get really bored, invent random quad challenges for yourself like city guards or some dungeon mobs.

That's about it.

Wizard is the best class for playing EQ while minimizing your time actually playing EQ.

Wizard is a raiding class, or the best port bot.

If you get your rocks off and find joy in watching your consistent dps output, mage is gonna be a lot more fun. I mean … compare that to a rogue where you’re really just pressing autoattack and smashing backstab as often as the situation allows?

I, for one, enjoy that aspect when playing a dps toon. As such, I never really got bored playing my mage. Even between casts you can oggle about your pet buzz-sawing more dps than most of the melee characters.

Now .. on raids? Mages are super boring. Nukes are resisted left and right and pets can cause more problems than they are worth.

Not sure I understand the question...raiding is the end game.

There is no more efficient way to gear up characters than being in a good raid guild. DKP earned is far more valuable than anything you could farm yourself, as long as your guild consistently gets targets. I know they all say "no selling raid gear" but let's face it everyone and their grandma has sold a Zlandi Heart / Manna Robe / etc before.

And Wizards are damn good in the raid scene, but you need Porlos Fury and Epic for sure...among a few other clicks to do a proper job.



If you want a class to play outside of raids, make an enchanter. There is no situation where having an enchanter isn't optimal.

So if he wins does that make him the raining champion?

mage is only good at DAing, mages that dont quad are useless

95% of new raiders aren't going to step up and just start DAing trains around either

they have to be willing to put in some time when targets aren't in window to learn, hopefully with some guidance from a pro

easier to just log on a cleric bot

Because no one likes CoTHs, mod rods, and rip sticks :rolleyes:

coths are important but any random bot can do it, no one uses rods except vyemm, and everyone has wands. so yea only quads matter.
