i haven't seen loraen solo the king (but i believe it), but i'm sure about 75% of it was luck that slow landed after tash. malo+sini will help a lot in that particular situation, can't see a wizzy doin anything to help in that situation. you have no margin for error with a wizzy. if charm breaks on a chanter's pet, least my pet can tank while he recharms. if you overnuke on a wizard, you gain aggro and you die or you can just sit there and watch and get some afk loot. wizard is the easier class to play. you sit and hit a nuke button (most wizzys) in group situations because most wizzy's won't take the time to stun (probably cause they're lazy) - i'm sure if a group is sitting there and waiting for you to hopefully wipe on king, a chanter would take a mage over a wizard 100% of the time (though sham would be most preferred).


yea although mage's can just send a pet on a mob, i can DS, malo and can do everything a wizard can except quad kite.

if a mage can't find a group, you can solo, you can farm a majority of items on ez mode.

plus, mage's are the least dependent for gear. if you don't have over 200 int for a wizzy, you won't quad kite properly, can't say the same for a mage here.

but to OP, it all depends on what you're looking to do. i have the most fun killing targets and doing camps that are challenging and require a lot of strategy, and you have many more options as a mage. if you just want to have a breezy time exping in groups, quad kiting and porting around, be a wizard, but one thing for certain is you can do a lot more FUN stuff as a mage, epic pet or not.
