I agree the druid would be the easier class to level up and grants more flexibility in gameplay but obviously some people enjoy the smaller niche the wizard fills or there would be no wizards.

If you didn't need Wizards to port to Hateplane and Airplane there wouldn't be many Wizards at all. As it is there are several Druids for every Wizard online most the time. The Wizard should be regarded as akin to the Rogue or Magician or Warrior: It's a class with a focused job and will appeal to people who want to do that specific job without being hassled by distractions like players asking for buffs or heals or people wanting help pulling.

Wizards utilize a manastone more efficiently.

Only if they have an epic. Druid probably has an easier time if they have a VP robe or VS legs which are likely easier to attain.

Eh, 200hp and 250hp heals @12secs don't compare to an 800hp rune @15secs. Also, if you have to kill VS or Xygoz to get it, the epic argument falls flat.

If you are going to solo a lot, a druid works better. You can start the game in leather, meleeing things and mild spellcasting, eventually switching to spellcasting and kiting and meleeing things that are fleeing, then to an era of no-melee at all. Having SoW and heals at your disposal is a wonderful utility that no potion can match.

Wizards are glass canons. They have low defense and can't melee, but they have some of the best direct damage in the game. The best wizards can solo with kiting and quad kiting, but a wizard starting off will need to play in a group most of the time.

Just round up four or five as normal and as you run around keep adding new mobs in and nuking the group so you always have at least 4 to hit. Got to have lev and wolf form. put click dot on every mob you pull whenever you get a chance. Obviously avoid casters. med when you can. I've only attempted this on blue (or less) mobs.

It isn't quadding with 8 targets it is octing, lol.

I've pulled the entire pop of skyshrine tower and ran 2 quads, its not that hard. Just need the mana pool to pull it off and be efficient with the spells you are using.

As someone who has played both a wizard and a druid up to high levels...dont play those classes for the ability to quad kite things...once you get quadding down its very repetitive, very boring... the only nice thing about quad kiting is if you have something that you need to do (work around house maybe?) between 15 minute med sessions. You also get long med times with shamans...mages...necros..and all can solo...

I've not done the wizard epic in a long time, but I am SURE I had to kill VS as part of that quest?

Explain this to me you fucking retard... He had the "efficiency" to kill 8 mobs? He snared them all at once? Oh, you mean he used atol's to snare 4, then re-group the other 4, and snare them, then killed all 8? You know what that sounds like to me? He was killing green mobs. You are literally a cuck and I hope you enjoy your trash-tier gear.

Let me clarify this so it's easy for you to understand: Wizards bring nothing to raids outside of porting and TL boxing. Druids are POTG buffbots and spot heals. Outside of raids, druids are capable of far more than wizards, period. Groups that are looking for DPS are not going to look for a druid OR a wizard, they are going to look for an actual DPS class. Maybe at level 20 when nobody knows what the fuck they're doing, and the only person LFG is a wizard. Other than that, you're so clueless that it's adorable.

Jesus.

Go outside breathe some fresh air then come back and spam the anger sum more.
