Why Wizards Are So Bad?

[Brut]

Crit nukes were basically what fixed the class imo.

Wouldn't call em gimp druids tho since druids are gimped wizards/clerics/shamans.

Most every class sucks until a certain point, only a select really have their gimmick going pre-teens. Like shaman sucks hardcore until their 24 poison dot.

Perhaps if you'd like to see how a class does on the high end here create a toon /beta it and go to velious beta, beta buff will max you out so you can mess around n see how they are high end here

Even that is questionable. It's just incremental changes. And truthfully the class as a whole would be kinda so-so without torpor. God-tier spell.

Seems like people are forgetting that this is not a balanced game whatsoever. This is the first, experimental iteration of modern MMORPG's . . . Verant didn't know what they were doing when they designed half this shit. And yet we still got something very good overall.

Only hope for a game like EQ with balanced, interesting specialized classes is to have some independent developer make a new one. Otherwise, just have to deal that it's not balanced and that certain classes like Wizards are going to suck.

So lets go over how your day has gone:

Mages = Lame
Wizards = Lame

Maybe you should attempt to play a melee class next. Report back in 3 hours.

Next I will try quadding with a rogue (or rouge to some).

Start a Necro. Solo your way to glory.

Wizards have it roughest in classic leveling. That's why eq added all kinds of caster based things later: focus effects, more ft, crit nukes, more damage on nukes. If you look at classic low lvl nukes compared to modern low level nukes they upped the damage and efficiency a lot. Don't remember when these changes were made.
At your level its rough because melee with trash kunark weapons are hitting harder with each hit then your nuke is doing.

just solo till 56, then you can join the chardok ae group and get 60 in a few days
