I main a wizard and my experience has been that most folks want an efficient, fast paced group. Personally, it's difficult to keep up with sustained DPS from rogues, monks, etc, when they can keep outputting damage and I eventually have to med.

I knew this going in however having played one back in the 99 time frame. If you're ok with these expectations going in, you won't set yourself up for disappointment. That's my 2c. I enjoy the concept of an all powerful damage dealing caster.

You're wrong, but it doesn't matter.

Enchanter to level 6,
realise I will be pet centric because of charm,
Rogue to level 8,
I hate being melee, I want to cast.
Wizard again to level 4,
remember how much I hated leveling as Wizard,
Druid again to level 4,
yeah I love the class, but I hate the nature theme,
Wizard again to level 4....

Maybe I should just give up.

I want to do everything (utility, group, buffing, soloability), but the one class that seems to do it all, Druid, just doesn't sit with me. I like the arcane caster theme, not nature.

Ironically, when I played EQ in 2003, I mained a Druid during PoP and Ykesha (granted I played casually). It's so weird that now I'm older I hate the idea of nature casters, yet it used to be amazing. I remember spending most of my time hanging out in low level areas PLing people for free, just chatting.

I wish I could just make alts and flick between them, but I keep rerolling to keep my 'main' name [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Should I just stick to Wizard and accept it's many limitations? Or force myself to level to the more interesting stuff on Druid -- surely if I managed to main one to 60 back in the day, I can learn to love it again?
Yeah, I'm surprised it took until Page 2 for someone to recommend a necromancer. In Chortles's words, the necromancer is the class that actually feels like a powerful wizard.

But I bet if you get that wizard to level 29 and get Bonds of Force and your Staff of Temperate Flux, you could have a blast with the famous wizard strategy of "alternate between quadding and AFK medding chores/workout/YouTube."

As for me, when I was just getting started, I bounced around between a bunch of classes before reading someone's opinion that enchanters were the hardest class to play. When I read that, I said to myself "Oh yeah? We'll see about that!" and I was hooked.

Anyway, I humbly suggest you try a necro and/or stick out the wizard. You could also use the necro to twink out the wizard.

Step 1 Find good series on Netflix, preferably with a ton of seasons. Example Supernatural 15 seasons.

Step 2 Create Dark Elf Wizard... think mega evil, you will kill anything and everything, the world will burn.

Step 3 find place you can sit/med in peace but also get up every 5 minutes to go kill something. Watch netflix in downtime. You'll be level 60 in no time!
