Which is more boring? Mage vs. Wiz

Mage can solo plenty of difficult NPC's when chain petting is working properly. They need to fix the aggro dump bug.

While I would love to see that bug fixed, you can still chain pretty reliably with the earth and epic pets.

The earth pet will proc a root fast enough (regardless of agro), and the epic pet will proc a stun in about the same time. Air might work also, but I don't use it.

If you do it right (summon a new pet with existing pet, then /pet get lost at the last second before the new pet arrives), the worst case scenario is that you'll take a hit or two before the proc goes off ... but that's what Phantom Armor is for [You must be logged in to view images.

The only annoying part is trying to /pet get lost at the correct moment. With server lag if you do it it too late your second pet won't get summoned (leaving you with no pet and a mob that's breaking root/stun any second ... a likely death unless you can run), but if you do it too early you waste a lot of your first pet's life.

In general, most of the most fun/useful classes are horrible to grind to 60 but people do it for the payoff. The OP should keep pushing the Druid to 60 and figure out how to get an epic. Or pick an enchanter or necro is looking for a fun and capable experience on the cheap.

I did get the epic on my druid at 52, she's 58 now, but since the druid is not a big player nor all that fun on raids, nor is it desired in groups at 60, nor is it a great solo artist/dungeon crawler, I just don't see the point in leveling her to 60.

At least with wizard at 60 I can raid and contribute...and nukes are just my thing. I know charming is way more powerful and torpor+dot is way more powerful, but I don't like the playing styles of either enc or shm.

I guess I will keep leveling my wiz to 60 since i like quadding on her (for some odd reason i cant explain, i just dont find quadding as fun on a druid) and then also level up my mage from 56 to 60 so i can find groups with people.

i'll have to decide which class to level to 60 between the monk and pally as my solo artist/dungeon crawler, but monk is so dry and boring to me so maybe i'll stick with pally to round it all out...

i really wish there was content i could do with my mage cuz i actually do like it alot. I play it all the time as DS and its great for that but theres basically no other group that would take a 60 epic mage that isnt just me helping an LCY group level or something

I didn’t realize raiding was a consideration. Wizards are amazing for raiding. All the mobility of a Druid but you can actually do damage to stuff.

As a casual raider, wiz all the way. You will be first on scene and able to bail whenever you want.

Outside raiding besides helping burn down low hp stuff they are a pretty limited group or solo class.

A knight is a lot of fun, as is a ranger. They are server favorites to gear out on the side [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].
