Default 46+ Wizards that don't have a sky neck...

Jeeze guys, you already made a massive fail by choosing to play a wizard as your class.

Don't compound this bad decision by failing to acquire an Amulet of the Void as soon as it is possible to do so.

Point 1: As a wizard you have one job. And only one job;

1a: don't fool yourself into thinking you are a 'utility' class with your roots and your stuns and your level 16 push nuke spam.

1b: don't fool yourself into thinking you are a dps class. You're barely even burst damage let alone dps.

1c: you aren't a general porter; druids do this and give the customer a cheeky sow to be on their way without having to carry around sow potions.

1d: your role is specifically porting people into the planes sky and hate. That is your job. This trinket lets you do so for a mere 60pp (200pp discount).

Point 2: when not attending to your true role, you are often gonna get into all sort of trouble and hijinks. Having an instant click teleport spell that costs a mere 60pp (basically equivalent to a single port donation from any decent player) can save the asses of you and/or the party stupid enough to group with you.

So yeah, if you don't have this absolute gem of an item and you are a wizard exceeding level 46 then you really need to re-evaluate your priorities and ask yourself if you really deserve the privilege of going afk for 15 minutes at a time just so you can spunk out all your mana in pitiful two minute bursts.

Wizards who do have this item: you're okay and you are doing an excellent job being social, providing ports, utlity and dps!

I like where you're headed with this, but i'd like some more verbal abuse.

The only time anyone wants to know a wizard is at the end of a raid for a ticket to their bind point, or on [deleted] maybe because they're good for killing with <3

My wizard opted out of this trinket so as to avoid porting people that still want to do regular Sky.
Zone is bum aids.

You want to finish a quest then shuffle off to Erudin first and bring me a stone with lots of please and thankyous.
I rolled a wizard to be a lazy bastard (and Chardok but thats really the same thing)

People should still do PBAoE groups with wizards, you can kill 25 mobs at once and give the wiz his same AFK break as burning singles, and 5-man the singles until mana is ready for another AOE burn. Hell, even pulling 4 spawns and quad nuking / stunning may work well. It would make the group a hybrid AOE with nice exp flow.

Think wizards need to be bolder in this regard, rise up and change the meta. Would be hilarious for groups begging for wizzies.

Amulet of the Void would be a great escape when AOE goes wrong.

Wonder what a good group for that would be:
Wiz / Mage / Enchanter / Necro / Paladin / Cleric?

You can have 3 DA's up for pulling, 3 pet classes to dps singles with paladin tanking, necro to pump wiz / mage up during an AOE burst. Mod rod / clarity / twitch would keep this group going on the reg.

Someone do this and report back.

I just left the Wizards meeting and we're going on strike. No more Sky or Hate portals until we get crit blasts and all 60 Wizards get the title "Grand Poobah Master of Magic Dude Supreme"
