What's wrong with Wizards?

[Kava]

A wizard was my main on Live from day one, to GoD. I loved playing him everyday, soloing or grouping; you just have to learn how to be useful to any given situations. Nothing wrong with dropping mobs quickly towards the middle/end of each battle to avoid aggro, and end each fight faster.

Are they more useful once Kunark comes out? Most definitely, and more deadly overall.

As for ports, some people prefer a druid port over a wizard port (and vice versa) for the odd zone ports each class gets (Druid/wizard; butcher/Gfay; Surefall/WestKarana; Lavastorm/Nektulos; Feerrott/Cazic respectively)

If YOU enjoy playing them, you can be very useful by learning the class.

Ironically, I am playing a Druid ATM because he is much more enjoyable at this stage, but my wizard is slowly levelling to get ready for Kunark and Quad Kiting hehe...

Druids won't get surefall gate on this server at all, IIRC regarding when it was added. Regardless, the WK portal is relatively useless. The NK spires are a stone's throw away. Since the wizard can't sow others, I'd rather have an NK port with a level 50 sow than a WK port from a wizard and jboots if i'm heading to permafrost (the lvl 50 destination if i'm headed that direction).

Gfay is only a slightly better port than Steamfont/Butcher.

Nektulos is two zones from Nro or WC, already existing Wizard ports which are closer to more often desired destinations (EC tunnel). Lavastorm puts you right next to Sol B. It's easily better.

Cazic portal requires an invis unless you're suicidal, isn't as condusive to group porting as Feerrott is, and isn't as close in overall travel time to the Plane of Fear or Guk (common 50 destinations). If you're using it under level 45ish, pray your invis doesn't break in the maze.
