Made my wizard, loved him up until his 40's then I could never find a group and all quadding spots were taken. Took me over a month to get to lvl 50 from 49. Then I thought okay once i hit 51 things will be better! NOPE. The mobs in kunark required to get past 51 have crazy fucking HP and the zones are a bitch to quad in. Bottom line. If you are creating a wizard be prepared to spend 6+ hours LFG and then when you do find a group 9 times out of ten the dps is shit because you're a wizard and not any other class.
Top Ten Things I wish I knew when I made my wizard...
1. Even at lvl 50 if you want to do any quadding you have to use your lvl 34 aoe spell because it is the most mana efficient all other AoEs are either retarded dmg/mana ratio or they are rain damage which simply doesn't cut it.
2. Wizard snare sucks ass. On the plus side its an AoE snare which is cool, on the downside it disappears several times during a fight. Its necessary to resnare 3 to 5 times during a quad.
3. Post 40 You can never find a group and if you do xp is slower than shit because you're losing the grp DPS.
4. Looks like you get a lot of spells on the spell list right? WRONG dmg/mana ratio is messed up for 80 percent of them, be prepared to use one spell for everything. I'm convinced as a wizard you could prolly spend under 150p for all your spells until 50 if you ditch the ones that you'll never use.
5. At level 50, if you get more than 2 light blue mobs on you in Uguk you are fucked if you can't evac.
6. You will never be able to camp a single item that is in a dungeon. You need a wide open space to do any sort of soloing at all.
7. Porting yourself is cool. Porting other people isn't. "Sorry man, that's all I have on me." Most of the time they want to dick you with a donation of 5 plat. Hardly worth your time. If you dont play /anon or /roleplay be prepared for tells every three seconds asking for you to go way out of your way for a 5 plat port.
8. Single Target Instant Kill at 60!!?!?? Cool right!? Wrong, the mob has to be below lvl 52 and when you use it you get no xp and the corpse disintegrates upon kill, so there is no loot either. So even at 60 the one spell that could enable you to camp items in dungeons dicks you once again.
9. Roots are nice and at 51 you get one that lasts a whole year, lotta good that is for soloing when you nuke it immediately breaks no matter what.
10. Want to port over to EJ or Skyfire? Not only do you have to be in kunark but you have to be in a kunark dungeon to do it. That's right, thats a port in to DL, then a run all the way across the hills to karnor's to port to EJ or Skyfire. Oh and when you port into Skyfire, Spread those ass cheeks wide as hell because those sperm with teeth are waiting for ya.
