Crit nukes were basically what fixed the class imo.

Wouldn't call em gimp druids tho since druids are gimped wizards/clerics/shamans.

Most every class sucks until a certain point, only a select really have their gimmick going pre-teens. Like shaman sucks hardcore until their 24 poison dot.

oops I meant to add some commentary about how I like paladins in dungeons since they hold aggro better then warriors, stun casters, root, paci pull, and for several levels can heal on par with druids...

I would support the idea of a server with the p1999 developers that had a custom, thought-out and balanced stat, class and mechanic system. But it would be such an enormous amount of work for them to do this. I'm just not sure it's ever going to happen, even if they wanted to do it.

Best hope for people wishing for this is a new game by an independent studio.

Even that is questionable. It's just incremental changes. And truthfully the class as a whole would be kinda so-so without torpor. God-tier spell.

regardless. same skill set applies. All you need is creativity

No, you need programming knowledge to create custom content.

The worse class on here is way better than the best class if the person playing it is damn good at playing it. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You make me sick.

Basically, as you get higher and higher in level in Everquest, a Wizard becomes more and more ineffective. The pinnacle of a Wizard's life in this game are Levels 12 and 13, when they actually have an amazing direct damage spell as compared to every other class in the game for that level and the spell actually takes a huge chunk of a monster's HP off in short amount of time. At no other point in the game can a Wizard "nuke" a target so well.

Yeah ice comet and sunstrike def not strong single nukes for their level
