Noooooo! Quadding is fun. Making things go boom with the game’s best nukes is no small feat [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

So Gnome then?

Biggest issue I had was in the mid to late 40s as the Circle of Force level 34 quad spell capped at 216 and mobs have ~3500 hp, with resists and re-bonding due to low dmg requiring so many casts, you use your whole mana pool and have to throw in a harvest to even clear them all. Probably just needed better gear! haha

You can do Spirocs I think until 51 and they only have like ~1500-2400hp, not a huge difference but a bit less.

However, I personally did Bloodgills to 51 and they have around 1300hp according to the wiki.

Have levitate up and don't be a keyboard turner, rest at the safe spot in the center of the lake above them. When they pop, run out to one side, go into water, select a goblin, spam your flux staff until you're in range to hit it, as soon as it hits turn around immediately to the surface, run to other side, repeat, look up while running to the shore and levitate will keep you above the surface.

Snare, Quad them down.

Repeat every 13 minutes.

Just become the group evacer. Mobs automatically know when a porter is evaccing. On live my wiz had not-so-great defense, initially...

Sorry, everyone (almost everyone) here solos. Groups hate wizards cuz "current meta". We will never have true classic here. Although it did take forever to lvl.

To be fair, I mained a wizard back in 2000 and it was common knowledge wizards were super down time.

Yeah back then there were also a ton of rogues/mages/rangers/necros/monk LFG so as a wizard you had to compete with all those too. At least not every monk/rogues had epics or better but it was still hard to find a group.

With evac/stuns/snare/root and the ability to delete stuff on a whim they have better group utility than people give them credit for in my opinion but yeah, hard to rival a geared melee on sustained DPS and every rogue out there has a ragebringer now.

Nothing more satisfying than deleting an xp green mob with 250 dps in 7 seconds then celebrating by taking a well deserved 15 minutes afk break.

As much as i hate to admit it. This is 100% true.

But in a group situ, a well played wiz did add something to the group. Especially if casters were involved.
Completus Healus Interuptus especially.

Until we got good at this game and meta'd the wiz outta here.
