Enchanter is #1 solo class? What is this madness

Honestly it might be a little too strong though. You wouldn't have the high end solo power of an Enchanter or Shaman, but the excellent solo, group, and raid potential of a "Sorcerer" (along with ports, let's not forget) would almost certainly make it the most popular class on the server.

I'm the first to feel something should have been done about mage/wizards back then but chaining sunstrikes is like nearly 200dps? while a decently geared rogue/monk will hit what, 80? Add a mage pet and DPS would be unreal, something would have to give.

I would be genuinely surprised if zumaiks lasted 30seconds on a pre-slowed khelkar. Zumaiks can do a lot,though. 2 enchanters with zumaiks can kill verina tomb,by chaining them as they die.

ive seen vyemm absolutely melt with a raid full of wizards

Wizards are underrated. Outside grinding blues any time you need a mobile dps they are great. Chaining Lure of Ice on Sonalak is typically 127-180dps depending if you eat no fears, one, or two. On Vindi with Lure of Flame you can still do 120-130’ish (but can bane that target).

They are marginal at soloing 1v1. Very bad if you can’t root or that mob summons. Amazing for raiding or even small-group hits like epic bosses and kunark dragons.

Adding the mage kit to the wiz would be broken. It’s a shame that mages never got a baby lure outside the summoned nukes (-50). They have more important stuff to do on raids though.

I expect a wizard with some luck could put down Chardok names. It would be painful though and refreshing the epic each nuke and re-root. That and relying on clicks once lom just makes the game slower.

They're also good at healer denial. They got a bunch of stuns, enough to stunlock but you don't need to. Pop one off when the first heal starts around 40% then delete the mob. I felt like I made a lot more of a difference in places like sebilis compared to your average warrior mob dungeon.

Winds of gelid with epic is also fun to clear entire floors of lower level dungeons by yourself. Although that was probably nerfed on p99 with the 25 mobs limit. People say channeling is borked on here but I could AE entire floors of TOFS solo.

Compared to PQ it's quite busted, leveling a caster freaking sucks on Quarm until later levels (or so I'm told, never made it further than low 30's), almost impossible to get a spell off with just 1 mob hitting you, here on p99 it's really a non issue once channeling skill gets > 1

I don't know, I mained a wiz and getting a root off when you're getting your skull bashed in was routine and I don't remember getting into melee range a death sentence. I can't say it is 100% accurate on here but I don't feel it is wildly out of tune either, maybe a little easier on here but not by a huge margin.

Sometimes I'd also get aggroed in AE groups and I could still get AEs off too.

Would be neat to see. Battlemaster,one of the easier nameds has 12,750 hp.
Sunstrike is 1650dmg for 450dmg.
So 3.5ish to one,so would need to be a pretty swole 4kish mana wizard with 0 resists to pull it off. I agree its maybe possible.

Battlemaster has been done. Clicky nukes like rend robe makes mana less of an issue too.

yea its probably more in line with p99 later on, my only experience on quarm was 1-30's and if i had a root break in oasis i was pretty much cooked and had to zone the mob, maybe 1 in 50 chance of channeling through just 1 mob beating on you.

recently started a new enchanter on blue and i think by level 8 or so I had no problem channeling through damage so its quite "different" here.
