So, I decided wizards are actually the most powerful class.

Like. Rp wise. It's 100% wizard.

I played a necromancer and wizard both to 50 on several servers recently, red, and green, and takp. As well as the cleric.

Officially the necromancer rly did level the fastest cuz lich, pet, and lifetap. Plus FD, but it was REALLY close to wizard. Like super close. Despite the wizard having more downtime. The necromancer needed to run around more. Needed to level in a zone with a Zem. Had more deaths etc..

Where as the wizard had a ton more downtime. But actual necessary time doing stuff at the computer, was like 1/3rd the time necromancer had to do things.

The wizard pretty much just had to stand up and blast some mob outdoors and gate to a safe spot, afk. Then go again, and at lvl 34 since I picked erudite that was instantly 4 mobs.

It's a looootttt easier to root/snare and do than it is to fear kite, or fd, mez, fear, or charm, just to get like 125% or .2 more efficiency than that afk wiz. I spent a lot of time sitting around at full mana anyway on necromancer. And basically having to either buy a port to ec, or run there defeated all that extra xp or loot i was getting.

My wiz spent a lot of time at that inn near the WK spire after exploding several mobs and was able to instantly gate back to their camp and instantly kill some mobs without having to even bother with setting up. After tabbing out or whatever.

Literally could root 4 mobs, nuke one. Port. Med, gate back, root 3 mobs, nuke 1, port, med, gate, root 2... and camps where easily split lol.

Of course mobs with like 5k hp get problematic, but like soloing FGs is a huge chore anyway. Just wiz it up and buy that crown and boots. It'll happen way faster.

And you'll have less mmo psychosis. A lot less. From being essentially chained to the keyboard without being able to go pee.
