<DIV>Personally I think that is pretty great. I wish I could do that solo. The bad part is that it takes forever and it is probably a one shot kill for the warlock if the root breaks. I hope they bump wizzies up to doing around the same damage if they haven't already. </DIV>

[Laerk]

A few shots would kill him yeah.  A wizard could do exactly this at 45 if only 1 thing -- more efficient dps.  We pay the price of less efficienct nukes for higher burst dps.  I bet a warlock less than 45 could do this.

<P>What does this have to do with test server? I come to this forum to see what happening on the server and alls i finde is another stupid post about wis/war form a person who doesnt know howto play their char?????? Nice, thx for that. I can solo ^^ 4 lvls hier than me.</P> <P> </P> <P>Im lvl 45, and thats not even high. What lvl are you? Low 30s i bet huh.</P><p>Message Edited by Beghard on <span class=date_text>05-05-2005</span> <span class=time_text>11:51 PM</span>

<DIV>Yup, poor nukers. Not that there are other classes that are completely unbalanced, like assassin/ranger being outdamaged by fighters.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Nono luv for the wizzies please.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Maybe you're doing a bit less dmg than warlocks, but that's no reason to whine (in the compleeeeetely wrong forum), because you're still a very good dd.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The whining in these boards is getting even more annoying than in the DAoC VN Boards, and I didn't think that anything else could get near _that_..</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

[Dracko]

<DIV>well im a 50 wizard and  i got news for you people.</DIV> <DIV>I  can solo things other classes dream about <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Not  jokeing. Now with my good mana regain in combat i can solo just aout any heroic mob in game if i need.</DIV> <DIV>Was in Feerrott last night and soloed the Magus that i saw a 50 scout try and fail at.  Heres the deal with us wizards thou. its a one shot deal. Mob gets to me I die.  one resit on my root i have to run. Anything goes wrong i have to run. It takes a very skilled wizard that know the timeing on his roots and spells to do it.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>As for Warlocks there aoe spells own mine hands down. My aoe spells are a joke compared to a warlocks and there roots own mine also.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

[Eneg]

What do you think this thread will accomplish? SOE will see it and say "hey, we should make it so wizards can solo ^^^ heroic mobs too!"?? No. They will just nerf Warlocks if anything, which hurts every warlock and everyone who ever groups with one. If you dont believe me, you haven't been playing SOE games very long. <div></div>

The fact is this guy has some skill and a whole bunch of luck. He should be congradulated. It's not everyday when this happens. </FONT></P> <P><FONT color=#66ff00 size=3>Personally I'd like to say I've done it all the time but I can't. I can't even say I've done it once. For that matter, I haven't successfully soloed any ^^ higher than green since about level 23 or so. In a normal everyday fight, the root and then the follow up stun would have been resisted and the guy would have gotten splatted in 1-2 hits. Sure we have an AOE root that is unbreakable for 20 seconds and we have a stun that lasts 10.7 seconds. But I'm here to tell ya that I'm level 47 and when I solo 42 green ^^ mobs, both my root and stun are resisted about half the time. Heck, I dont dare try to solo anything even blue ^^. I've been killed in one shot by those before. I wouldnt dare do what this guy did and I'm 2 levels higher with all adept 1 with my main nukes at adept 3. Kudos to this guy. For the rest of you, dont believe the hype. Warlocks are not gods, we are tissue paper with an attitude. A strong wind kills us on occassion. </FONT></P> <P><FONT color=#66ff00 size=3>As a side note, (breathless anticipation for the forthcoming sarcasm) I wish I could solo mobs 4 levels higher than me on a regular basis.

<DIV>Holy moly, that was some awesome fight. My 39 wizard now semi-retired (taken over by my 43 templar), would always get root resisted or break within seconds or the root and nuke technique... But wow, nice work by the warlock.</DIV>

[Kalel]

Wizards can, in fact, do this as well. Really not hard at all if you know your class. Sure there are risks involved but that comes with the territory. It sometimes takes a few /yell and runs but its easily doable by a wizards as well. Alot of classes can do such things. Use your abilities to their highest potential.

Well to be honest if we have  an open area, with no other agro mobs around we could kite it for an hour. But there is no way in hell a scout in that zone with the number of adds around that mob could do it at that lvl. <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> </span><div></div>

<P>Do you really need to make 10,000 new threads complaing that warlocks are so called "overpowered"?</P> <P>Just fyi, there are *alot* and I mean alot of classes that can solo group mobs....</P>

[WAPCE]

Your threads are hilarious. Every one of them is crying about warlocks, but if anyone posts about soloing as a wizard, you throw a tantrum claiming it's impossible and telling people not to address you. Please grow up, you're not adding anything constructive to this forum.

[Os]

<P>Yes, warlocks are so overpowered that there are only 55 of them higher than lvl 33 on my server. Its like the 4th least popular class. There are a whole 2 other warlocks on my server my level. I love my class, and I'm sure these huge combat overhauls coming are already going to change the feel of it drastically, please don't use us as some sort of point of comparison to what other classes should be like. Want to be like a warlock, make a warlock... don't make a flooded class more like a ghost class cause of some sort of class envy. Enjoy what you have thats unique to you or reroll, and hope SOE keeps your class fun after the patch hits the fan.</P> <P>Good players can do amazing things with just about any class, provided they have the gear/upgrades/skills.</P> <P>Please don't take what a very small % of people can do (or choose to) and "balance" around that. </P>

[Lady Uaelr]

<DIV>If you have not read the other posts-- it was explained that the level 45 warlock that did that died 6 times and did not gain experience but debt. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>It is still impressive that a solo character at level 45 was able to accomplish this.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If you read before you post you would not be careless comments.</DIV>

[FrostP]

<P>Actually that fire giant is ripe for soloing by casters with roots.</P> <P>Has everyone forgotten the teleport pad 2 steps to the warlocks right that will take him to safety the momment his roots fail to land?</P> <P>Every caster with a root in the game could try this time and again and sooner or later their luck on the rolls would get them the same result at level 45. Simply because you have a zone to your left soluseks eye and a teleport to your right to the dock......how on earth could a caster end up dying when the method of escape is so easy?</P> <P>I'm a level 50 Wizard, I don't play with that many warlocks but to tell you the truth I never see the damage any other player does because I don't focus on being "better" then a warlock or a scout I focus on killing the mobs and helping support the group with utility. There are a few broken spells Wizards have such as protoflame, ice comet resistances to raid mobs and a bit too much power usage on spells also perhaps lacking some more damage in our best aoe spells but none of it makes me feel Im broken or lacking...... If youre a wizard and youre unhappy with a spell we have then by all means look at it but don't look at another class and say "we should be doing that too" Warlocks I bet are looking at our ability to power feed the tank or healer when the group is about to wipe or the fact we can hit evac and they are thinking [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot].......wish we could do that.</P> <P>The ammount of times power transfers and evac have saved me and groups I am with time and death is countless to have those abilities and STILL be within reach of warlock pure dps is in my opinion a good thing.</P>

Frostpaw - your response is probably "the" best reponsive I've seen in this epic debate.  Make all the classes better - don't nerf anyone and we all win.

"Frostpaw - your response is probably "the" best reponsive I've seen in this epic debate.  Make all the classes better - don't nerf anyone and we all win." I agree.. Lady just wants to be uber. She posted this same thread like 4 times now all over the forums. The best part is she got it tossed right back in her face. "Wizards can't do this" and then a Wizard did it. Lady for the love of all that is holy, just shut up about it already. <div></div>

<P>Sadly is a reality, but wont last for long, for every 3 people who brag and show off Soe will throw a nerf. Which means, 1) they have no idea how to tweak the classes, 2) they are no where near to balancing classes yet. So expect a nerf just like every other class have had and thank your loudmouths.
