Never had the Velk robe. Does anyone know how it compare to the VP Rend one?

VP robe is certainly better (54 dps vs 42 dps iirc), but a bit tougher to obtain. It's also magic based damage so is a bit less reliable than the Velk robe's fire damage for some mobs. You really can't go wrong either way.

The other clicky dd options are generally not worth clicking IMO aside from Solists Icy Wand at low levels or one of the others if something is near zero health and fleeing.

The phinny staff is easy but can be time consuming, I did around 25 phinny kills getting my water staff and in that time only 2 wizard staffs dropped. Likely bad rng involved there, but it can still take a while. At least on green VS is very contested,but very possible.

I managed to get a velk robe and orb on my wizard alt at level 40 and it completely broke the game. That's obviously not realistic but having a clicky nuke on a wizard is amazing. The wizard epic is probably middle of the pack in difficulty but definitely doable, and honestly, worst case scenario, you're just as effective in groups and raids even without one. It's always fun to be in a wizard group and compete against the rogues for experience on raids.

You guys are forgetting that you can buy a gnarled staff MQ for very little plat. Wizard epic is indeed super easy, any raiding guild is good enough.

Oh and to get back on track, any race is fine for wizard. Anyone can use shrink pots so gnome doesn't really have any advantage there.

Never seen it sold on Green.
