Here is the main thing you need to know about playing a wizard.

Our planar gear drops from Frightfingers in Plane of Fear. There's like 4 of them in the zone and they never drop shit. If they drop anything they drop the sleeves over and over. Roll a character that gets loot in Plane of Hate. You will be decked out in a couple weeks of raiding.

Wizard perspective: there's actually like 5 fingers. You're usually the only wizard online at all, and by default the only wizard on the fear raid, so unless they make you roll better than 50 or looter gets to destroy it, your odds ain't terrible. Fingers actually drop loot quite frequently, given the small number of them in the zone. Plus you really only need Arms, Gloves, Hat, and (ESPECIALLY) Robe. Plus all the dang spiders in the zone drop cryo, which are perfectly acceptable subsitutes for pants, shoes, bracers, and only a small tick off on gloves and hat. And they also drop that nifty shield. While you may need to roll on that, most raid leaders with a soul are going to tell mages to f*ck themselves and it's up for grabs between the wizards and necros.

Speaking of necros, the blighted drop rate makes carmine feel like woven shadow. Necros got even more of a gripe here.. Being a necro on a fear raid is like being a wizard on a fear raid, except there's actually 10 others wizards there rolling against you.

Believe me, it could be far, far worse.

If you want to focus your energy into something a little more positive, try and get gimp newly 46 shadow knights guilded so your guild is forced to waste another hour plus pulling the temple needlessly for amys in order to get you a shot at that one last finger by the zone out.
