Question regarding Solist's Icy Wand
I have a 21 wizard and I've been told I should covet this item and I'm having trouble seeing why. It has a 5 second cast time and casts a spell that I only use at this point for finishing off stuff that is at 1 or 2% life. Why should I want this thing?
I can see it being useful to lower level wizards but at my level, it seems pointless. Am I missing something? | ||

You'll use it to the 50s even quadding. When at 0 mana it finished off stragglers , but maybe around 52 your meditate can outpace its dps

Cause nukes take mana. If you have a sow or something, or even just root, you can spam wand all day and end fights with >80% mana. 90% of wiz solo is downtime.

Clickies are the best way to conserve mana in classic.
Anything that you can click instead of cast will save you time in the long run, or sustain you during long fights / groups / raids. In some cases its convenient as well in order to not use an additional spell gem. (SoW boots, Levi Cloak, See Invis bracer, Snare etc) | ||

Add to that, there isn't really anything for wizards that increases their effectiveness too much. 200 int and sow potions/jboots lets you quad, temp flux staff lets you aggro, and then clicky nukes. Besides that, not much different from a naked wizard. Wizard life isn't too varied, I feel for em.

It's annoying to waste mana on a wandering orc pawn that breaks your meditation.

velious era wizards are the worst class in the game and perhaps the worst class in the history of any MMO. FYI A level 24 wizard spamming nothing but that crap wand on a target will out dps a level 24 wiz using their very best nuke. Verant didn't realize wizards were bad until luclin when they fixed them.
