BIS Wizard. Is it worth it?

[Snaggles]

I don’t have BiS but with like 3200, both banes, and no epics there are times I wish I had an extra 1-1.5k mana and similar HP’s. The epic would be a nice luxury too.

I’ve had to rely on Steelskin Sky ring clicks, mystic cloaks, and wort pots. I can still get by just fine though so I guess it’s more of a “nice to have” than a necessity.

not worth wouldnt do. sydg real melee class

Honestly the best item to get is Zlandi heart and I say that for every int class.

Thank you everyone for all the comments. At the end of the day certain classes get a higher return on better gear than others. I'll get my wizard to a decent level, but will focus that dkp elsewhere to one of my two melee, shaman or necro. The wiz is quite enjoyable as it is already.

Thanks everyone!

Anything after THAT is pretty useless IMO. Should keep most people busy for a long time. But yeah once you get there the wiz is a class that you may feel is taking you nowhere. If you actually enjoy raiding, and many don’t, it may be a goof vessel for you and added gear serve as medals. Even of you do enjoy raiding you still may prefer a class that can make bigger plays or that’s engaging in more fights. If you don’t love raiding you have a class that’s good for farming DKP but nothing else, still not welcome in groups and still not a good plat farmer or dungeon crawler.

I always wanted to get this and max AoB items for my wizard, so I could shrug off Acid Jet while I kited. Maybe cap MR and stack some HP as well.

Best part about playing a wizard imho.

If your wizard alt is a kuanrk dragon/vp alt then yea bis geared toward sitting under dragons would probably be pretty cool

[Solist]

No.

Long answer: no.

But to explain it in great detail, here is all the reasons to do it.

And here is all the reasons not to:
Everything.

this - but lets face it rogue bot armies in VP makes this pretty much outdated

[Naethyn]

I went VP for my wizard because no one asks for TLs.
