How do you get Ice Bolt at 37k and Ball of Magma at 17k?

um, seriously.  I think you need to work on your cast rotation or something.  Wizard in the MT group?  why? As far as 6th on the list dps-wise, I'm sorry but we are not.  Bolt of Ice on a Ball of Magma recast timer?  LOL though that would be awesome, it would also be rediculously overpowered.I'm sorry but I cannot agree with any part of your post and I consider the whole thing rather dumb.  Take effort and learn to use your wizard.  You'd be surprised.There is no "I win"  button, and i prefer there not to ever be.

<p>deleted my post as since the OP completely changed teh title of the thread and the original post it no longer has any point to this discussion</p><p>The best way to continue on a discussion is by posting new responses instead of editing your original post, it allows for flow of a discussioin instead fo soem one new tryign to figure out what teh hell the discussion is about as hte first few posts no longer even seem on topic and the ranting sof a crazy person.</p>

<p>Good day, Wizards, and to those that love them!</p><p>While I can understand, on some level, the OP's points about being a supplemental class, I would like to respectfully disagree.  Now, as I have not achieved the lofty levels of most of the responders here... as a matter of fact, I have just 'dinged' 43... I have to say that I am thoroughly enjoying being a wizzie.  So much so that I have turned off adventure xp and am having the other experience gainers moving my yellow bar.</p><p>True, if you solo it is a steep learning curve that lies ahead of you, but in a group a little common sense and some preparations (gear v spell selection) will do a world of good.</p><p>I will leave you with my own favorite anecdote;  While grouping through an instance with a Guardian, Monk (or bruiser, I forget), an Illusionist, Mystic (mentored), and a Warlock all of approximately the same level, everytime the parser was used there was my name at the very top, or a very very close second.  It was a wonderful experience.</p><p>Lady Uaelrea, I do hope that you find a place where you feel your wizard is a valuable and welcome addition to any gathering.</p><p>Enjoy!</p>

yea you did totally redo your post, lol.well since you are asking a definite question I will give the answer....1)  It crits2) Mythical (+10% base)3) Bloodthirsty choker ( 10% base)4) troub with mythical (10% base)5) around 2K +spelldamage with gear procs runnin6) Dark orb of the mind ( 10% base)7) Freehand Sorcery (24% base)<img src="/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Master spells9) raid doin proper debuffsThat is how wizards do that.  As you can see, you'll need to invest -alot- of time and patience to get the proper gear, the best spells, and a solid group of people behind you before you'll see those numbers.   Hard work pays off.   The Wizard is my absolute favorite class, for many reasons.

Now you understand ? less than  10 percent of the players can do that. (I would say 5 percent is probably more exact) Those who play enough to be able to :<ul><li>run Vault 50 times (P's guard), </li><li>kill the shark 20 times (symbol of the eaten), </li><li>run thru Shard of Fear 50 times (choker and robe of alendine)</li><li>AND member of a guild who can both get the contested named AND enter VP.</li></ul>If you want to be an uber damager, there is a price to pay : TIME.Of course if you are really very very lucky, you can get the 3 first one in one week... but I also met a guy who got the P's guard at his 70th run <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY<img mce_tsrc=" />and there are generally less than 10 guilds/server who can enter VP. That's 200 players max IMO. Maybe 15 wizards amongst them ?
