I'm fine with being useless for my low and middle levels, but I'd at least like to be useful at the higher end/raid type stuff. Seems like the general consensus here is that even when wizards are useful, someone else can do it better.

Wizard was my first character on this server four years ago. Here's my take.
You are not cut out for grouping. I've made spreadsheets and shit. The math just isn't there. Your sustained damage is way more garbage than "nuking down in emergancies" and stuns will benefit. At level 60, your most mana efficient nuke is ~3.6 damage per mana. Druids and Magicians get ~3.2 damage per mana. It's a fucking joke. I am the most fervent, mouth-frothing voice in favor of inviting hybrids and anyone LFG in the "play the class you want" thread, and I still don't invite wizards.
Be a burden to society by grouping until you can quad around ~30, take up a hobby like guitar or art or some shit and prepare to get good at it, because a quad every 10 minutes is the best way to go. Pro-tip: Wood elf guards at 52 are amazing quad exp, never camped and drop 11pp each. Don't be a pussy, do that camp.
Do that till 56 then hit Chardok AE till 60 where you can start selling proxys and making bank. As far as raiding, you do have the highest raid DPS, especially during Velious, so enjoy that. |
