New to EQ, playing a gnome wizard!

[Jimjam]

So I've posted some solo tips. Now for grouping!

As a warrior, I'm sure you also know how useful a wizard can be in groups.

They are the perfect class for getting the MA mob rooted (4) early on (for the warrior to tippy toe tank) as they don't have distractions such as slow, mez, etc.

Shock of lightning (16) has great knockback, you can use that for low aggro interrupts or helping reposition mobs. I've used this even in the 50s to interrupt dragon cheals when the melee have messed up their own push. It's surprisingly powerful.

Wizards have a long stun line, which is rarely updated, but can be really useful too. Tishan's Clash is the first at (20), but it doesn't get updated until (49) and (51) where you can more or less stunlock.

Another way to CC, besides off rooting, is to root the MA mob as it comes in then drop your AoE snare (29) on the pack of mobs. Here you can snare kite (or hell, even just quad them down while the group deals with the main mob). You rarely see snare kite in use as CC though.

When in an all caster group, no one might want to sacrifice meditate in order to pull. In these occasions you can use Eye of Zomm (8) to pull. Don't forget you can toggle sit while your one eyed monster is out, and this will let you to med while Zomming around. Also keep in mind sitting will effect how mobs will perceive your eye you are pulling with.

Great posts Jimjam, copied for further referance. Say, how do I find this lvl 16 quadding spell, and what slow scarabs are good to quad at that lvl? Karanas? (Im a Int caster noob)

The spell Pillar of Fire is created through the research skill by combining a rune of Nagafen and a rune of proximity.

Research spell recipes can be found here.

A good way to find the runes is check every vendor you come across as people usually just sell them as vendor trash.

In order to quad you will need a decent amount of int or you may find yourself running oom before you can finish the mobs off. I can't remember how much you need to get started but I think it might be a little over 100? I'm sure someone can say for sure.

The beetles you're looking for in north Karana are called Borer Beetles. As you gain a couple lvl's you can start adding in scythe beetles.

For lvl 24 you could hit up crag spiders in EK. I'D stock up on SoW pots if you don't have jboots since it's kind of out in the boonies. You can probably start quadding aviaks at KFC in SK at this point as well.
