Reckless and proactive are two very different things. An assertive player changes the group for the better. This points to clerics, bards, chanters, wizards and druids who are typically reactive and submissive class roles. Done right, it isn't reckless, its very efficient.

Stuns stuns stuns. Use your stun line to interrupt casters in groups were stuns and pushes may be lacking. interrupt those heals and big boy dd's!

" there are still a handful of classes that will fill that group slot better than you if they are an average player or better" It is that simple. Well worded and succinct sir. But a wizard played well to the extent of the class is capable of is involving, entertaining, and rewarding to do so. At most a selfish endeavour. While other classes do not need to justify their existence, a wizard does. However, the group would be better just inviting a ranger. Come velious, things do not change either. However soloing and duo opportunities present themselves, and in more popoular spots with more popular port locations so that Clarity bumming becomes less of a hinderence (to the wiz!). Stick with it, at 60 the class is extremely rewarding, with huge opportunity to minmax, a large assortment of equipment you can swap and change per encounter, and extremely precise play to be effective at your role. Like anything though, get out of it what you put in to it. | ||

Wiz and bard is probably the highest xp per hour duo in the game. Right to 60 it's just amazing.
And a solo 59+ bard can PL a wiz in KC basement fairly hardcore. | ||

Cool, page two. Some solid gold advice in this thread. Now to find a bard to duo to sixty with.

Wasn't the Wiz/Bard duo dependent on low HP kiting to be effective? (i.e. Bard agros huge swarm while low HP to keep full agro, runs mobs through Wiz while he PBAOEs). As far as I know this was supposed to have been nerfed.
Is there some other method that is equally as effective? Or does that still work the same way? | ||

I wouldn't let the min/maxers sway you from enjoying a full group.
