Going to roll a wizard and tend to go gnome because what racial ability could trump seeing through walls? I came to the realization that wizard may be one class that gnome could be a downfall considering in the end game wizards are mainly used for FTE and Kiting.

Does being a shorty create headaches and liability for an end game min/max raid wizard and I should go with a taller starting race or does it not really matter and I should stick with the master race and roll gnome?

AoN can solve the issue. It rarely is an issue too.

Attack mechanical rat
Get port to WC
Bind in WFP.
Never go back to Akanon.

(Same path for anyone born in Paineel, replace rat with skeleton).

Use eye of zomm and bind sight.

Gnomes are only an issue running up stairs. I don’t know a kiting situation where they are limited on the raid scene.

Being preshrunk is never a bad thing. I ended up going high elf for fun but gnome seems just as valid (if not more).

Only stairs I've had a problem with are the ones in Kael. I always levi when I need to go through. Never had an issue getting around anywhere else.

Fun fact: you can go through the grates and prison bars in najena with no keys. Not sure if there are other places like that.

Thinking on this...
Is that idea for the bard to grab 4 mobs as if its a (small) swarm and you burn them down fast all while sitting and being in range of mana song pulse?

Maybe not though, big AOE burns prolly pull agro off the bard... Ping pong works with a bard/wiz?

Snare, 2 dots and mana easy twist. Be pretty boring though. Faster xp for the wiz for sure.
Can the pair do 6 quads in the time it takes a bard to do one swarm?

Wizard gonna take agro with first nuke and bard won't get it back in any way that allows for more nukes in any sort of effecient killing outcome. Only thing bard can do is spam aoe snare/slow and it will take a lot of that to overcome the nuke agro.

Maybe can root mobs in a group, bard spams snare song just outside of range while wizard nukes that way when root breaks mob doesn't move far out of group range before re-rooted.
