Which is more boring? Mage vs. Wiz

[Toxigen]

wiz can work on a semi afk playstyle if you can burn through your mana on a quad then afk while you med

[PatChapp]

If you don't like quadding on your druid you won't like wizard. Wizards are a bit better at it,but it's the same thing. Gather 4 mobs,kill take a break.

Every character I have outside my cleric (grouped extensively 56+) has been soloed semi-afk to the end. They were all pretty boring but the payoff level 60. My worst experiences have resulted the most fun/beneficial characters at the end.

If just going for an adventure I’d try a bard, whether you swarm, melee, or charm kill there is plenty of variety and running fast is as fun as EQ gets. It’s unlike any other class, in fact it doesn’t seem like the same game at all. Plus you need very little gear to make it work.

It's such a fun feeling after you zone, start running, and then Selos kicks in with a drum. Feels like you're engaging warp drive.

Definitely not a boring low-attention class though.

Totally, I have to be in the right mindset to play my bard. I like boring EQ, lol

People who have bard in their blood just operate at a difference pace.

Hello,

What is your opinion on the more boring class between Mage and wizard?

I had taken a break from playing the game for a while but am getting back into playing about ~2 hours a week now casually. I don't have the same drive for playing this game (or any for that matter) as I did before, but before I had quit, I played a mage up to 56 and got bored. The gameplay just felt too repetitive and simple as a mage. Also had a 58 druid, 52 pally, and 51 monk (the druid and pally were fun, until they weren't).

Now I don't want to play any class that would require too much investment/attention/devotion to the game (such as an enchanter or shammy), so I figured I'd ask if Wizzy is more "fun" to play than mage since I do think it suits a casual, semi-afk player perfectly. Thank you

I think dynamic fun gameplay and not having to pay attention or be invested are contradictoy, or at least at high tension with eachother. My recommendation is to have options for either priority, and decide which option to take each time you log in. For example quad the druid if you don't want to pay much attention, but charm on the druid or start an enchanter/necromancer/shaman for when you want to be more engaged?

To answer this question directly- Wizard is more boring.

[Balimon]

Mage's can dungeon crawl in classic at level no problem, it's really in Kunark (with the lack of any real power gain) that mages fall behind there. Honestly I think OP is going to be bored with both classes. Try something you've never played much before IMO.

Imma wait for Rimitto Stilskin to pipe up.
That shit is gold.

Just dont say its name 3 times.

[Ripqozko]

as a main mage, mage sucks outside of raiding and even then those that dont quad are less useful which is like half at least.
