![]() I don't even parse much anymore, and I can see I'm not being outdamaged. I've grouped with lots of classes since the revamp. Last night, in Lavastorm, hunting Basalt Rumblers. level 45 ^^^ heroic mobs. I could just see that it was my damage that took the mobs down. Doing a bubble or more of health per hit is noticable. Then we had a contest, to see who could solo the mob the best. I won, no question, the templar and fury didn't even want to try, the Guardian and assassin we had to jump in and save. The Guardian held his ground better then the assassin, but couldn't do enough damage befor his mana ran out. Once that happened, he started taking damage. The assassin did a lot of damage, but took alot to. I took no damage, and killed the mob. This tells me, wizards rock. |

![]() Im not talkin about single mob and/or solo kill. Im talking about group and raid action. Who want wiz on raid if every melee can overdamaget it? Because (nerfed) bufs or because (nerfed) power transfer? Everyone see only maximum dmg on ice comet nothing else ![]() |

...huh? Pretty much every group I've been in since the DoF expansion, I've come out on top in DPS. True, even the tank was getting close to me, but generally I was always on top of the DPS charts. If another caster is in the group, we generally fight for first place. And actually, the buffs are pretty nice... What level are you? INT? Gear? Spell quality?

< This tells me, wizards rock. > I concur. I'm tired of trading anecdotes with the people who claim we have crap DPS. They don't believe ours, we don't believe theirs. I've seen my logs, I've seen myself do high DPS. At this point, I'd like to see the logs of the people doing low DPS. The logs mind, not the end result from the parser.....

Me? I play everything. I even play EQ2 (although less fequently then in the past), but I've accepted the fact the EQ2 combat model is generic and the differences between classes are hard to even notice. It plays like a PvE combination of Quake and EQ1. Some people like it this way. These are the people who read this forum. Don't be shocked if they don't agree with you. They are not wrong to enjoy their game.

![]() You know, I'm kinda tired of hearing this cope out, that it's raids. Maybe wizards aren't designed for some boss mobs for a reason? No boss mobs comes alone, they all have friends which can easily wipe a raid. I've noticed that many of the issues that wizards have with the Boss mobs, such as being immune to be cold/fire or both, the henchmen don't. Why, we are really effective against these. Maybe if most raids didn't work around the idea of piling on all damage on a single boss mob, people might see, hey, if I put the wizards on the henchmen, we can take them out of the picture much quicker, and not waste resources.But no, ever raid, it's the same, DPS the boss mob. Oh and again, it won't matter if you had spells that did 10,000 to 100,000 points of damage for no mana and could be cast in one second, every 2 seconds, if they mob is immune to that damage, it doesn't mean our spells are too weak, it means the designers made it so we are ineffective against those mobs. Upping our DPS won't fix that problem. |

![]() I can tell you that I decimate the enemy in groups. I absolutely rip them to shreds. I've been grouping consistantly from the moment DoF went live, and only in a select few circumstances was I outdamaged by ANYONE. People do come close, yes, but most of the time I am leading by a wide margin. Post your level. |

I certainly out dps most classes in many situations, but sometimes it's not a matter of dps, but that I can deal large amounts of damage instantly. One situation I think Wizards are certainly valuable in is the Named Heroic encounter with several mobs. While everyone else is doing there thing on the Named, I'm usually tasked with taking out all the lesser mobs one at a time on my own. I have never played a Wizard class before, but I do enjoy it in eq2.

![]() Smart wizard.That's always been one of my points, we can burn down the extras fast. With the revamp, there are times I can take out the extras in one shot. So lets see, one shot kill a mob, protoflame another so it's not hitting the tank, and suddenly you've gone from 4-5 mobs beating on the tank to 2-3 mobs, and then about 10 seconds later, your down to the main mob and a maybe a friend. Who is usually at half health, and you help finish him off.Maybe people just really don't understand where a wizard stands out. |

Quite a few times, especially since revamp, I have saved a group from having to do a shard run deep into LT or near the top of a Tower or anywhere else simply because something bad happens, everyone dies real quick, and I can crowd control the adds to keep them away from me and do away with a heroic encounter and its adds. You are not inherently crowd control as a Wizard but you can do an amazing job at it. Adds? No biggie, make sure everyone knows to back away and you can root them in place and take them down one at a time if the tank isn't in a position to deal with them right now. Let the group deal with the original encounter, you can make sure the heroic add doesn't get in the way and is probably dead when they finish the first

I'm not sure where all this is coming from... My dammage is definately up. Some may have legitimate complaints about our DPS compared to others, but even those people usually put us in the top 5 classes. As has been already said, what kind of gear are you wearing, are your spells upgraded, whats your INT? Immediately after revamp, I'll be honest, I got it handed to me on many occasions, but once I toyed around with the new spell lineup and adjusted my strategies to compensate, I believe I'm much more effective now, in groups and soloing. When soloing, I sometimes notice groups of 2 killing the same mobs I am killing in a simillar ammount of time. If I'm gimped, I feel very sorry for those people lol.

Yeah, I think once you leave the Isle of Refuge things will change for you. Taking on that named 'raid' orc in the cave can be very traumatic. I agree, I dont seem to do much more damage than priests, scouts, and fighters do against him. But stick with the class past level 20.

![]() Wizard L51, int ~270, i know my spells well even after meganerf aka combat revamp. Almost all spells I have are Adept3, few master1 (and master2) prismatic weapon, robe of invoker, efereti boots, one fabled thing. Once again, im NOT complaining about overal DPS and soloability. This is OK.
Example form Drayek raid: wizard (me) did 27k dmg Swashbuckler did 33k dmg Necro did 42k dmg warlock did 62k dmg
This numbers say all - where is first position for 'highest dmg dealer"?

Show your log. How much of that fight did you do nothing for? How long did the fight last? Were you up against Ice/Fire Immune mobs?
If you want to be taken seriously, post the info. Otherwise, you're trolling. |

![]() How much did the group int boost the others? how much did your str-buff add to the scouts DPS? How much the procs with Fiery Granduer? How much damage did you do with frostshield? Does your parser assign that DPS correctly to you?

Attronach, you say you are talking about groups and raids. Your example is only reflecting the raid part of your claim. As raid damage is very situational I am more interested at the moment in your claim that wizards are constantly outdamaged by other classes when equally equipped. Do you have any logs around (summaries are fine) which backup your claim? And please, add some info on the other players and the names of the mob.

I'd be more than happy to email it to you, should you provide an email address. I'll reply to your log with mine. Or if you simply mail me at brilyn (at) gmail (dot) com, I'll send the log on to you.
