Finally down to two, Rogue or Wizard?

[Pscottdai]

Having played a wiz on live from launch until just 2 years ago, understand that in classic as a wizard you are going to be sitting - A LOT. Because once you are OOM, you are useless. Wizzies are a great class and fun to play, especially if you play it well and use all of its tools but you are still useless once your mana is gone.

Also, realize that there are things you can do to help a group besides nukes. If you do not have good crowd control, and you have a staff of temporal flux, you can easily peel off mobs and ghetto CC them with root. Finally, if you were never a druid or wiz before, learn to always save just enough mana (if grouped) to have an evac ready to go. Then, learn when the right time to use it is. Some groups will wait far too long (or never) to call an evac and others will call it way to early. Ultimately it is your call, so always to anhd keep an eye on everything hat is going on. Lastly, a dead wizzie is more useless than an OOM wizzie - Learn to control your agro. Determine what spell rotation optimizes your DPS while keeping your agro just below the main tanks. This will vary slightly depending on your tank but overall it isn't to hard to determine once you have the played the class for awhile.

Most of all, have fun - wizzies are a blast to play.
