are wizards gimped?
 

Hey all, just found P99 and I was thinking of playing a wizard but after doing a lot of research it seems that wizards are gimped in classic?

wizards seem to be one of the least played classes

from what i've been reading, why play a wizard when druids can port, nuke almost as much as a wizard, on top of that, they have utility and buffs.

and a mage, who can solo and farm a lot better?

I remember wizards getting better in kunark, but thats still a while away, so is there really no point in playing a wiz right now??

ever got hit with an icecomet? :)

To be honest more wizards would be great, they certainly are not gimped... they have some nasty DPS and they port... how can they get any better? i would be playing one atm but i wanted to make a troll SK as my main then level a wizzy :]

druids have a DD that does 900+ dmg. the difference is around 200 dmg, is it worth the difference?

dont be the Borg of DROODS

are wizards able to farm?

I dont see why any class couldnt heh

druid have nukes that do around 600 dmg.. ice comet does 1100+..

I'm playing a 31 wiz right now.

it does get discouraging when I see a lower level magician soloing an entire room in HK while I can barely kill an even con, and when I do i'll be completely OOM.


then you have druids, who are a dime a dozen on this server.

sometimes its hard to get a group and i don't really have the option to solo =/

going to stick with it for a while longer and see how it is.

wizards are pretty junky on p99 and in classic

granted ice comet is dope, instant refresh on nukes is pretty dope but wizards are trash

why?

1-49 your dps is lacking a mage can out dps you 24/7 all day, you sit alot, most wizards afk ninja in groups due to the high med rate and abuse it.

No familiar, harvest, kunark spells

they shouldnt even have there ae snare, that didnt come out till kunark so... wtf

even still most classes can out dps a wizard once they blow there mana bar they are crap, there is no FT items yet, almost anything else has better utility and dps than them, there unresistable or low resist nukes dont come out till kunark

other than being one of the few wizards here for porting to do trash on planes overall there gimpy but all guilds want them because there are none yet and dont realize how crappy they are.

truth

mage dps > wiz dps even at 50 here all day everyday

when kunark comes out things will be different but so will alot of things
