Should I retire my 60 wizard?

[sox7d]

Alright, you guys convinced me. Any guilds that actually hit targets want a 60 wiz with poor self image?

Pick a class C or R guild and apply!

Number 1 guild on the server we love Wizards you have to be active and be able to raid on Saturdays and Sundays and track if needed.

You will be rewarded with any/all items you desire if you put the work in.

Put in an app today and see if you are a fit.

It took you to level 60 to figure this out?

Check out wizard DPS in chardok AE groups.


Or...during raid mobs, in classic/kunark wizards were the cream of the crop raid DPS.


10 wizards + 2 warriors + 3 clerics can pretty much kill any mob in the game, throw a bard or two in there and you're looking at overkill.
References: Forceful Entry 19 man trak kill had 9 wizards present, Forceful Entry 16 man Talendor kill had 10 wizards present.

It changes with velious though however, considering that mobs have a lot higher AC/HP and fights are a lot longer. You COULD however log on wiz, nuke raid mob until you're OOM, and log to a melee (probably, anyway.)

five wizards and a monk will destroy mobs

How many of these items actually exist on the server? It's kind of like saying "Magicians are so good because their epic is awesome." :/

Sort of depresses me that my highest char is a wizard. lol

had a wiz in my chef group the other day and the dps was sick. nuked right when shaman would start to heal putting it down to flee. was cruised through merbs

The dps wasn't sick because of the wizard:

Think of a wizard level 51-59 (sunstrike @60 is roughly 3.59 damage per mana, any of the draught nuke line are about 3.06-3.1 depending on level) as pretty much this:

( [mana regeneration over T time period] x ~3.06 ) - resists = Sustained damage over T

So, without clarity: [200 mana in 10 ticks or 60 seconds] x ~3.06 = 612 damage per minute = 10.2 DPS.

With C2: [310 mana in 10 ticks or 60 seconds] x ~3.06 = 948.6 damage per minute = 15.81 DPS

Ranger dps with average gear = ???

My # on mana per tick is from memory so it might be a little off. But that doesn't significantly affect these #'s.

Splurt, depending whether it runs its full course on every mob you fight, is as much if a little more than wizard overall sustained dps over the course of a group.

another class rant lol...

Grouped seb last night with my three stuns, sunstrike and c2 and bard, and it didn't seem it mattered how well I interrupted or reserved mana, it was a joke compared to any melee's sustained dps. Thinking of just stripping my character and rerolling. wtf were they thinking with this class, they had two fucking expansions to fix it. Someone give me a reason not to.

Raids, quad kiting, and very select types of farming. That's all you're good at. That's why I couldn't motivate myself to get past 55 on my wizard.

I recommend the strip-reroll option.
