nec or wiz for...

[Nagash]

Remember that at some points during Velious dots will stack.

[Widan]

And also he asked about soloing and duoing as well. Wizards are only better for raiding, pick a necro unless most of your time is going to be raiding.

[Tuljin]

think about how many nasty casters and gating mobs are in velious - - then think about how many classes get stun/interrupt spells

theres no question necro is a better solo class, and theres no question wiz is a better raid class - both classes are extremely valuable in groups

if you wanna make a buck or two in velious roll a wiz

if you roll a wiz thinking that your primary role in a group is dps, roll another class cause nobody is going to want to play with you

Both are great soloers. As far as raiding it depends if you want to do really good dps or if you want to be a utility. Wizard sole purpose is to nuke while necros feed healers and do some lite dps. Once they make it so dots stack necros are a little better dps but I dont think that happens for a few months after velious.

From what I've read, Necro dots don't stack til Luclin. Can anyone confirm this?

What other role could there possibly be? All wizards do is port and dps.

Not sure how long after release wizards get bane spells, but those are great against boss mobs in Velious. A wiz with 3600 mana can take 16k guaranteed damage off a mob. Whats the most HP a raid target in velious has (besides sleeper or AoW.)

best dd stun spells in the game and the only interrupt nukes

-stop healing shaman and cleric mobs, stop nuking wizard mobs, stop gating mobs
-stop running mobs when the druid/ranger in your group forgets to snare after you delegated the responsibility to them (happens to me all the time)
-stun when charmed pet breaks and starts raping the enc/nec/druid that charmed it, saving your priest mana by not healing and often saving the other casters life
-pull mobs with flux staff
-hold caster agro and chainstun while rest of group beats on them and doesn't get nuked/slowed/poisoned/etc, wiz has best stuns and best resist gear
-evac your group and save their lives cause all statistics considered half of them are idiots
-fetter - on melee mobs its just as good as mez
-cancel magic on mobs, free the other casters to do other things (like manage pets)

we've done the math - wiz has very low sustained dps in an lcy situation- bfd - you should be quadding the drolvargs outside

stun is a very powerful tool that not many classes get, and geared correctly wiz is a crazy magic tank

if you think wiz is "just dps" all you will end up doing is sit on your ass

Keep looking at classes and their usefulness from the WoW standpoint of "who solo best" and "who do most damage"... lawl
