You often don't have to but it is possible when you need to. In a decent group, usually just a stun and an ice spear or two will silence most healers for good. If you feel fancy you can stun lock them.

There weren't that many chanters/bards back then. So you often found yourself in a situation where you had to help with CC. On a bad/big pull you can AE snare and just root stuff. If you need to with those DD you could peel anything and and park it. I always kept an eye on healers a thing yu can easily do with all that downtime.

Free mana clickies are nice but its high end velious stuff, most people won't have access to that while leveling. Cast time is horrendous too if I remember right but it has its uses.

Too many posts on how to play a wizard efficiently. Obviously some level of efficiency is desirable, but that just isn’t the wizard’s speciality.

Wizards show boat.

Cast 3 rains in quick succession and explode people’s screen with continuous bombardment!

Summon the sword pet every mob - but don’t forget to click that mage focus before it is too late!

Amaze people with your DOUBLE DS buff (ironically probably the wizard’s most efficient source of damage, pitiful as it may be).

Don’t cc with root, kite things round with t staff. Got 4 adds? Quad them down before the group kills the main target.


Dumb fun.

If your lvl 1 doesn't have high end velious gear are you really playing P99?

I am playing a Wizard currently cause it was one of the classes I never tried out back on live. Sadly, I also like to group a lot in MMO's and have only found 1 group in Paw around 29/30 and 1 group in Mistmoore around 34. Wizard is currently 47 so kinda bummed can never find groups in CoM and even witness a group of 4 just ignore and invite others as they enter the zone later to join their groups, even doubling up on Shamans or Clerics over a Wizard. So, all the above is definitely true and Wizard isn't the meta. I just play modern games for my grouping itch as needed.

On the bright side, I am really getting a lot of shows I wanted to binge, watched. I even discovered a Speed Video controller extension for my browser to adjust when an ad comes on I can go to 1600x speed and zoom through it.

On the game bright side, it is cool to be able to travel anywhere and kill anything I want to mix things up. I read that Wizards may be more wanted in the 50s but not holding my breath.

nah wizzies are only wanted at 60 in full raid gear with porlos...TL boxes offer some very nice utility in train meta

unfortunately their kit just doesnt add anything to xp groups

Heh, in every wizard gear thread the answer is "spend your dkp on another class".

Only problem is nothing on the BIS list is Wiz only, and a good chunk of it is all/all

yeah the best play is to get a lvl 1 (or 46 for tov) fully equipped and then flex on pug groups in KC

Been having a blast playing wizard. Quad kiting awesome, makes you xp machine solo. This is good quad kiting guide.
