Puckbone · 08-09-2012, 03:18 PM

As a wizard in training, I thought almost all of my dps came from my spells. After doing a little reading, I came across something that said I should time my casting to allow for my melee attacks to hit. This could increase my dps noticeably--by as much as 40% or so. I am looking forward to experimenting with this but would like some live feedback.

First: Is this still true with all the changes that have taken place in the game?

Second: As a wizard, is there a preference to 1-H or 2-H weapons?

Third: As so far I have only soloed with my wizard, does it make a difference on which to use if soloing compared to grouping, and how many AAs I have, etc.?

I know there are a ton of variables to consider, but is there a trend on which is better?

TIA for all helpful responses.
