necromancer and SHADOW COMPACT spell

[SCB]

It's honestly like the recent flood of forumquesters don't even play.

I've stolen xp all night long in raids in an all enchanter/druid group just by coordinating nukes. If this floats your boat, a wizard + almost literally anyone else in his group will steal xp on any raid trash mob.

However, most often in a raid the only target that matters if you aren't trying to steal XP is the boss, and a Wiz will outdamage everyone on any 32k. Above 32k a mage could theoretically do more but in reality wizards nuke bosses while mages drop mod rods for clerics.

In normal group situations, mages sustain dps better than wizzies and can mod rod to keep the party going, and wizzies are better against casters and named and come with evacs. In solo situations, wizards quad and mages mow down solo pulls.

There is no micro to any class that isn't a Shaman, Bard, or Enchanter. Any of those classes can be played to some level of success with really bad levels of micro. This game peaked before high-speed internet did.

All classes are viable because almost nothing in this game is hard enough to need min/maxing and those things that would have been hard enough are things you will bring any person available to.
