Just keep in mind that Verant was really hard on wizzies at launch. Rend wasn't added until July 1999 and Ice Comet quest wasn't added until that time either. You will be using your 44 nukes for awhile until enough people kill Vox/Naggy/Alizewesaur.

I am one of the higher level Wizards on the server at the moment. Making friends and being social is key when you actually do find groups etc. When players I am not friends with are not on I usually spend upwards of 6-8+ hours LFG each night with no invite and just log and go to bed.
The other issue is that resists seem to be very harsh on the server currently. I often find myself having to find very very low blue cons to kill. The reality is that even a mob 3 level lowers than me often resists enough nukes that I do not have the damage to kill it and will have to Gate / Zone. All that said, I love Wizards and there is always a need for some in the community! Go for it! | ||

Hey, thanks for all this. I really appreciate it. I know being a Wizard right now is going to be a giant pain, but I didn't come to P99 and consider the class because I wanted my hand held.
And for the folks saying it's great to play while at work, I hadn't really considered that much, but there's a fair amount of time I have at work to get a few hours in that way, so thanks for that. Thievery, your insights as a higher level wizard are super-appreciated as well. Resists are a giant pain in the ass, and it seems like grouping is going to be the name of the game in that regard.

Imo look for camps with spellcasters. Wizards may not have good sustained damage, but stuns and big nukes go a long ways, especially at low levels, to taking care of otherwise very difficult NPCs.
A wizard dervish cutthroat in oasis can do a shitload of damage to a group with just a couple nukes. But a PC wizard can kill it before it can run halfway to the camp! An orc cleric in oasis can heal itself for more hp than it initially has max. A wizard hitting it with a nuke when it's at 50% drops it into "I better run away slowly from this group" mode without it using mana on heals. Etc. Of course... good luck convincing some groups that makes you a worthwhile addition. | ||
