Wizards are amazing. Their still a solid dmg class totally with Ice comet. Also Guilds need Wizards for PoH[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Raid wizards are crazy valuable through all Kunark content.

It's nice to watch stuff die instantly. Every wizard probably = 3 clerics in mana bars spent to kill a mob.

Or just have rogues blow the mob up instantly and be one of the best classes instead of the worst.

ive seen good wizards and bad wizards, they seem like they are not meant for the average lazy person caster that 99% of the population is, nuke once afk nuke twice fall asleep at keyboard and soak xp kind of caster player, but if a melee player who is always awake and attentive is playing a wizard then people are gonna love wizards, but that never happens

no one cares about raids sooo yea, just bring 100 whatevers and you win, the majority dont choose a class based on how it will raid but how it will be accepted into the xping game

Because Kunark mobs = 32k max HP and often impractical to fight for a long time - Trak, VS, Gore, Hoshkar...

It's always nice to burn these guys down ASAP, and this is exactly where Wizards shine.

Because Dark Elf Warriors and Gnome Clerics have the worst stats for their respective classes. You and everyone you group with will be playing with a steep disadvantage for literally hundreds of hours.

Bertox Enchanters have one of their main advantages (the ability to use illusions to access all towns) completely stripped away because instead of going agnostic or at very least a neutral god, they picked the most hated god in Norrath.

To be fair the server population is still so high that group composition (most of the time) doesn't really matter. Your biggest bottleneck (again, most of the time) is mob availability. So it doesn't really matter if you have a DE Warrior tanking AND a Gnomish Cleric healing him - you'll have plenty of time to recover before your 5-to-6-mob camp repops.

This is kinda the same argument I make for Wizards during Classic and likely Kunark as well. Your group is gonna be so heavily mob-limited that your Wizard will almost always have enough mana to contribute his/her "sufficient weight" to the group's gameplay. (ESPECIALLY once you're in the 30s and Clarity is present in almost every group)

Couldn't agree more on the non-agnostic-thing Enchanter, though. Other than reasons of roleplaying there's literally NO reason not to roll agnostic as a Chanter.

Ok, so rogues are better. Thank you.
