No, gear has very little impact on AE kiting.

answer to op question is yes...wizard are a viable solo class especially when you can not find a grp. it is not very fast and will leave you medding as long or longer than playing. quad kiting can be fun, but i always found it was something i only enjoyed when i couldn't find a grp.

on bright side, you can do a lot of reading while you med on a wizard.

Wizard is a good char to level while doing RL stuff, I made one for this reason...
... and it's nice to have a porting char for transfering stuff to alts or EC mule, camping easy spots in dungeons, doing quests.

About ench, charming is not required to solo: you CAN solo with animation; its not the best xp out there but still better/as good than what some other classes get.

I didn't read this. But wiz is absolutely incredible for getting RL shit done. Kill 2 mobs and med, quad 4 mobs, then load the dishwasher and med, quadkite and do the laundry. Quad again, then take out the trash.

Most efficient class ever. (as long as you don't want to play for more than 5mins at a time)

I've leveled a necro to 50 with a lot of soloing, very easy on this server.

On live i leveled a wizzy to 65 on live, quadding is hella fun but way easier with jboots and tstaff.

Buddy of mine also leveled a mage to 65 with a lot of soloing.

Bards swarm kiting is sexy, and shammys are incredible at soloing too.

Really just find something you like and honestly you can find places to solo, there are a lot of guides on the wiki that will help you figure out where to go.

http://wiki.project1999.com/Players:Adventure look at the guides tab on the left [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] hope that helps

You shouldn't be able to cast on anything not in the same fluid medium as you.

IE if mob is in water or lava, you have to be submerged in it as well. Same goes for being in water and casting on something on land, can't do that.

It was a common strategy to bounce between water and land for PvP due to this mechanic.

Question about Bloodgills: how exactly do you gather these? I went to LoIO the other day, and they just seemed too spread out. This in addition to having to swim seems like it would be too much of a hassle, not to mention that they hit hard (yes, I died). Maybe if I could get my hands on an EB item and max my swimming, it wouldn't be so bad. But as it stands, I just don't see why these get so much praise.

There is a trick to it, but once you know how to do it there is little risk. First of all, look at the map below. Notice the four pillars surrounding the oval marked number 8 on the map. Two Bloodgills spawn at the base of each pillar. You must ONLY pull your quad from either the North or South pillars. Do not try to pull from a combination of N/S and E/W. It's either N/N or S/S. The distance is too far to do otherwise (even with 200 swim) and you will get smashed underwater.

To pull the quad, first Lev yourself and obviously SoW/Jboots. Run out over the lake to just above the middle of either the North or South pillars and dive down. Occasionally there is a dark blue barracuda swimming who will agro you so watch for that. When you dive down right in the middle, target a Bloodgill on either pillar, get at max casting range, turn around and face the other pillar, then cast your flux staff. Immediately swim toward the opposite pillar and cast your flux staff on the second pair of Bloodgills, and then make a beeline for the surface. Make sure you break through the surface fully and your lev should kick in, allowing you to run across the top of the water rather than swim. From there it's just a matter of running to shore and snaring, as the Bloodgills will emerge from the water already bunched up.
