Clerics

[Swish]

At 24 I struggle to get a group with my cleric, MM demands higher clerics, Unrest demands a fireplace group and there isn't always one going. Failing that, where do you go? LOIO? I hear its a "weekend only" establishment [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The problem with so many low level clerics is, there isn't enough room for all clerics that play the low levels [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You're a great level to do pond in MM, but that isn't always open. I had the same problem... "Well Pond doesn't need a tank atm... now what?" I'd usually talk to the people and go solo in unrest until a spot opened up in MM. Alternatively, you can put your own group together for anywhere you want. You might be surprised how many people are willing to pick up and go somewhere, and you're in a fabulous position as cleric to make a group-- you form the core of it.

Grouping-wise? Dismal as always I'm afraid. People simply have an unnatural hatred to wizards in their groups due to their sporadic DPS. Most groups prefer melee DPS or mage/necros if needed due to having a constant DPS output.

Unfortunately the few wizards I group with out there tend to be the types who burn their mana pool and afk for 3 minutes at a time - better to chip in 2 nukes a mob and make an attempt to keep the dps regular.

Also, why nuke a mob that's on 3% health with your biggest nuke? Good wizards are hard to come by :P

"Sporadic DPS" is not as accurate a description as "lower DPS than a meleeing Shaman." So you see, people have a very NATURAL hatred of Wizards, because in an experience group, they are simply the very worst class you can possibly have.

When i was going up it seemed there were too many clerics so i soloed 28~34

[Flunklesnarkin]

I can't imagine a wizard would solo all that bad though.


They get root, shadowstep, damage shields, and some powerful nukes.


Just don't expect it to be as fast as another class lol.


kill something.. then med like 5~10 mins.. have a video or something in the background you can tab out too ;p

Their solo power comes from AoE snare line + AoE damage lines which gives them the ability to quad in spectacular fashion, making them one of the top 4-5 solo classes. They are also stupendous in raids up to Velious, where no mob has more than 32,000 hps.

Wizards get more mana regen, max mana, and bane lines in velious making them one of the few classes that can reliably land shit in velious targets. Not really that bad to have around on a velious target. Rogues with mrylokars / MHT and mnks with Abashi's of course notwithstanding, but once you've got those you're basically just looking to take down AoW (really the only hard target in velious)
