Have you heard of this notion that if they gave Clarity to wizards instead of enchanters, it would balance both classes? I think I like the idea.

And ya know, I actually think there's something to appreciate in how tightly-focused wizards are. Nukes; and root/stun/dispel/ports. Lots of sitting, lots of downtime, lots of time to socialize and plan. I enjoyed playing my wizard on Blue to 55. I was doing the quad + afk tactic a lot of the time, with chores/workouts/other games in between. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I also think high-downtime roles like wizard and cleric are good for players who like to contribute in the form of leadership or socializing. It's hard to type out plans and suggestions while chasing NPCs around or spamming CC spells. As a sitter, you have the luxury of assessing the situation and making calls.

Cenbro. Consider the amount of time you'd save if you stopped deleting characters EVER. Just keep 'em around. You never know when you'll want to park a level 4 or 10 or 20 character in some zone.

Imagine if you hadn'd deleted your level 12 Barbarian shaman. You could level him to 14 before Kunark and bind it at the TD firepots. Then, if you feel like playing a shaman someday, you have a level 14 shaman bound at the firepots.

Just come up with a few more suffixes, ok? Like -sored, -turion, -terfold...the possibilities are endless.

I concur with everything. I wish I wasn't a crazy person, and that Wizards ran on a different type of mana hardcoding like bards do, that makes theirs regen super fast all the time. Wizards with a whole spell line of 100% free nukes might not even be the most OP thing in the world.
