Wizard must have items for leveling?
Wanting to start a wizard, had one on live, and there seems to be a worse stigma against them then a hybrid.
Are there any must have items to ease the mostly solo grind? aside from jboots of course. | ||

Lots of variations depending on plat available and what not, but bare minimum I would recommend +mana items, Jboots, and Staff of Temperate Flux.
There's other stuff that will definitely help (Solist's Icy Wand, Staff of the Wheel, etc), but if yer lookin to solo (esp quads past 29), you need Jboots and Flux Staff.

On a similar note, I found hp gear far more valuable up to about 24-26 (since quadding starts in earnest then and if you get hit while quadding you're likely doing it wrong). | ||||

A Solist's Icy Wand is an essential item - you will find situations you need it even into your 40s and beyond.
The Staff of Temperate flux is also essential. Mana free insta-tag is a very powerful skill and you should be Fluxing every single mob you cast Ice or Fire on, even at lvl 60 (needs its own inventory slot and hotkey) You won't be able to take down the Ancient Cyclops solo for a while, so unless you pay for the Jboots MQ you will have to buy sow potions until you can take down the AC (unless you have friends). Nice thing is when you get South Ro evac you can easily go check on the spawn to see if its camped. Though mana is very important for quadding, don't forget about your HP (important when you get plowed by four mobs at the same time) | ||

Anyone want to elaborate on some good Quad spots? Maybe even the general philosophy/spells to use as a wiz quadding? I main'd a Pally and a Rogue on Blue, now playing a wizard, thats poor on Red.

General strategy is you gather up four mobs with the staff of temperate flux or some level 1 spell, circle until they're bunched up, cast Bonds of Force, then use targeted AE spells (pillar of whatever) until they are dead.
