this - but lets face it rogue bot armies in VP makes this pretty much outdated

this meta shift to rogue bots was soul crushing as a wizard main, going from getting cothed down to trak like 3rd and actually making a difference to the only gameplay you had each week being kiting vulak guards was lame as fuck

You took 2985 hp dmg .... that's a very nice Kunark alt gear HP pool for a wizard [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Cothing a wizard down was never a good decision though.

There was never a time it was right. We just didn't have the engage perfected.

Nothing from the past was actually good on p99, strategies evolve. It's comical how poor we engaged trak in 2011 here.

Mained a wizard during classic and raided velious content.

The thing everybody slams wizard for is not being able to do enough stable DPS but having extra mana helps you get closer to that assuming you have some downtime every now and then. More chances of also having that burst on tap and for longer if the situation arises. Also gives you more flexibility to do better plays in some situations. And if you're not 60 yet it might unlock an extra quad or lets you clear an entire camp before going afk for 15 minutes.

Also if you run OOM during raid encounters, more mana is better and you should probably adjust accordingly. Resist/hp gear will also dig a hole in your pool so having some solid gear pieces mitigates that.

Better gear gives you more fun and flexibility/survival to be a better asset to the people around you and saying "you can just do the same stuff" is silly as it could apply to almost any class when you get to min/maxing and is irrelevant if you want to main the class.
