I'm really appreciating the 11th hour advocacy of the Wizard (with Rend Robe ofc) specifically for porting around and sniping.

The Chad Wizard vs. the virgin Shaman.

I love this thread.

I like thinking outside of the box. Wizard is a fantastic class which I didn’t fully appreciate before I started raiding. Now I think they’re amazing.

Agreed! I played one on TLP with a Pre-Nerf Fungi Staff just for a taste of what that feels like. It's fun to quad and then regenerate quickly for the next bout.

Speaking as a guy with a 60 Wiz, I'd definitely agree, with the caveat that they really do feel pretty terrible to level in a group. You just can't contribute much in those scenarios. Quadding is great for leveling, though, and if you're looking for a 4th wheel for a Enc/Enc/Clr/xxx named target sniping group at endgame like you talked about, then a Wizard is definitely a very legit choice, if not tops. So while I would never advocate anyone play a Wizard in a 1-60 leveling group, they can definitely make sense in certain endgame group comps.

Wizard quadding itself is pretty unique from anything else in EQ with the instacast Flux staff and the AE Bonds of Force snare, and feels sort of like a combination of Bard kiting and Druid quadding (prob cuz the mobs are running at you full speed while you get them grouped up before snaring). But it's almost meditative once you discover a new quad spot and get good at pulling it. Strongly rec a Wizard alt to anyone who's never gotten around to playing one. Can quad up to 50 pretty easily and be a port/TL bot at least, and if you feel like a total boss the first time you drop an Ice Comet (it's hard not to), that alone may given you enough juice to hit 60.
