Just round up four or five as normal and as you run around keep adding new mobs in and nuking the group so you always have at least 4 to hit. Got to have lev and wolf form. put click dot on every mob you pull whenever you get a chance. Obviously avoid casters. med when you can. I've only attempted this on blue (or less) mobs.

It's not a big deal, but the epic wizard lvl 60 was confused as to what I had written earlier so I wanted to clarify it.

Once the wizard hits level 54 quadding becomes extremely efficient for the wizard, far more than the druid.

54 level wizard quad spell: Pillar of Lightning - Area Effect Magic Based Direct Damage (848 max per mob), cost is 344 mana.

49 level druid quad spell: Lightning Blast - Area Effect Magic Based Direct Damage (477 max per mob), cost is 234 mana.

At 54 lvl, on my druid I was quadding with Lightning Blast, the last quad spell the druid gets.

I enjoy druids, I have two druids. Obviously I like playing druids more than wizards, but pretending the druid does everything better than a wizard is disingenuous.

I agree the druid would be the easier class to level up and grants more flexibility in gameplay but obviously some people enjoy the smaller niche the wizard fills or there would be no wizards.

Maybe this guy is one of those people who'd enjoy a wizard more, who knows?

GL OP on your decision! Both classes have their own charm.

If you didn't need Wizards to port to Hateplane and Airplane there wouldn't be many Wizards at all. As it is there are several Druids for every Wizard online most the time. The Wizard should be regarded as akin to the Rogue or Magician or Warrior: It's a class with a focused job and will appeal to people who want to do that specific job without being hassled by distractions like players asking for buffs or heals or people wanting help pulling.

Wizards utilize a manastone more efficiently.

Only if they have an epic. Druid probably has an easier time if they have a VP robe or VS legs which are likely easier to attain.

Eh, 200hp and 250hp heals @12secs don't compare to an 800hp rune @15secs. Also, if you have to kill VS or Xygoz to get it, the epic argument falls flat.

I've not done the wizard epic in a long time, but I am SURE I had to kill VS as part of that quest?

I like being able to move while stoning, clicky regen+fungi+potg is nicer than having to sit still still and spam click.
