Coming Back: Velious+Wizard+PvP

[Farzo]

With Velious coming out and Semester ending sooncam looking to come back and try EQ PvP again; but this time I wont be playing a melee mainly due to having 300-400ms and it been a huge disadvantage when fighting people on 20-100ms.

Anyhow:

Obviously playing a caster on a higher ping would be better than a melee so been tossing up between playing my 54 druid or leveling a Wizard up.

The 54 Druid would drop me right back in to the raid scene and has mor utlity than a Wizard; but I think it'd be beneficial playing the Wizard 1-50 for the 2-3 odd weeks it takes to get a better grasp on caster PvP and for the added DPS on raids in Velious.

So Question is: for Velious PvP are Wizards decent or just melee fodder? Or will you end up been a sad lonely Azrael player hunting under-geared/leveling players to 2 shot to get some PvP action?

[Farzo]

Or a Cleric and be pure support+needed on raids.

The problem with wizards in velious is that everyone gets more hp, and their nukes don't suddenly do more damage. On the same shake you are going to be getting more hp as well which makes you not quite as squishy, but you still have to play a lot more careful than you did in Kunark.

On the upside, Velious has a lot of very wide open zones with hills that make finding and killing a wizard a complete pain in the ass if they know what they're doing. So if you're doing group pvp and they try to focus your wizard, he can randomly shadow step 2 miles away giving your guys more time to focus on whatever they're doing as they have to once again switch targets and watch for the wizard to come back.

It's really what you prefer to do, with that high of ping I personally think playing a wizard would be a nightmare, but there's not much u can play that wouldn't have a hard time.

[Efwan]

I say god no to cleric, that ping would suck in all realms of life as one. Wiz/Dru for sure. Prolly more so wiz since no one will expect you to heal plus you have yonder etc.

[Smedy]

who you kidding, you'll be swinging so hard from whatever nutsack is zerging mr roo retard so it doesn't matter what you play

semester ending? wut, velious release is middle of semester, u roo retards have ur semster during winter time?

[Agatha]

i mean, if you want to play a blue server, come on back. If you like to pvp, i'd wait and see if the staff makes any changes to current situation.

[Samsung]

Druids get better in velious. Stronger heals, fire resist debuff plus a full set of wyvern gear and you'll have 1k + ac.

[Tassador]

Got level 9 shaman in uguk come group kid.

[Genedin]

I dunno dog.

There are still the same pieces of scum in Holocaust now that there were when you named them and said they are the reason you quit the guild in the first place.

You going to join a different guild when you come back I'm assuming right?

P.S. Better pick something you can make lvl 60 by Velious drop date if you know what's good for you.

wizards get crits in velious

[FaithlessKR]

wizards get crits in velious

Negative, Wizards got crits about 6 months into Luclin.

[FaithlessKR]

Innate crits that is, luclin gave access to the aa crits...wizards were given innate crits way later in.


Wizards now have an inherent chance to score a critical blast with
their damage spells after 11th level. This ability does not lessen the
chance of scoring a critical hit with Alternate Experience abilities
that grant criticals

fat weird australian


gee i wonder who would take such a specimen

[Thrilla]

wizards will b ok but they don't scale well other than the extra mana/hp. Epic shield won't scale and people will do more dmg, especially melee would be great if epic dmg shield was based on mana.. Ice spear of solist is cool but anyone with decent resists will partial it

are we talking 1v1, small group pvp or large scale fights? 1v1 they wont b that great, small scale pvp they'll get some finishing blows and wiz assist trains in large scale will still b effective

iksar monks will rape train everything w/ triple atk

[Nirgon]

Wizard will be an excellent class to zerg kill Smedy with

[Littlegyno 13.0]
