wizard is arguably the worst class in velious. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yeah, Primal weapons and gear changed a lot in Velious. EQ did a good job of bringing certain classes to the forefront at certain times during different expansions. When I played on live Wizards were a bit of a struggle through Velious and Luclin. So many hps on the mobs in Luclin. Then in PoP they got a bit of a boost, but still behind Rogues.

I remember being on top of a lot of parses in my guild in GoD, Omens of War, and DoN. So it varied a lot. Of course that doesn't matter here with Classic, Kunark, and Velious only. But in all the expansions wizards were good dps in groups. Just depends on how they are played and the support classes around them.

I would suggest that if you are going heavy melee dps you get a shaman and if caster get enchanter. Cater to them and you will see a huge difference.
