How to get Wizard issues addressed.

cole · 01-07-2006, 03:33 AM

I created a Guardian alt (Im a glutton for punishment) and started browsing the Guardian forums. They have a post there that has been stickied. Thunderguard has even posted saying the issues are being looked into. Wizards seem to be completely ignored. We need a post like that one that will get attention. Here is the link.

We need to state what is wrong and our solutions to fix it without whining and calling for nerfs to other classes. Please post your ideas here.

We used to have one of those, it never got re-stickied after the board revamp a monthish ago.Read into that what you will, I guess.

Yes we did have a thread about wizard issues but its my OPINION they were relitively minor issues, Not game breaking in any way. The one big issue/question however is: Are sorcerers top dps like they are suppose to be? In grps i think so(all though debatable), but in raids We lack and i think thats something i hear a lot of wizards want fixed.

I would be all for this, if i ever had any proof that dev ever read out forums, I look at the other ones and see devs responding all the time, Hardly ever see them post in here though :/

Well, what do you think? Wizards have been broken not for a few weeks, or a few months, but for the game's entire history. I would be happy to say it's taken SOE 14 months to fix wizards, but the fact is 14 months have gone by and SOE hasn't even given the token "we are looking into it" post in all that time. It would be foolish at this point to suspect that they will ever do anything to satisfy this particular facet of their paying community.Fortunately, Vangaurd isn't too far off. Certainly not 14 months. I encourage everyone to check it out. Clouds, grass, no zones, and perhaps it'll even have wizards that aren't purposeless.

I think that its very discouraging for us not to get anything acknowledged. Is this class working as intended, or are there certain aspects that the devs are looking into or will look into. It seems a large outcry here is that our DPS are not in line with other classes. Without nerfing other classes what can we do to bring ourselves in line with them?

I don't mind not being the top DPS, but the problem I have is our weak armor. I thought warlocks/wizards were supposed to be tops in DPS but trade off armor.

51 Wizard, looking at my character from the website it says 290, i think that is unbuffed. It seems like buffed it was around the 320's. I cant be exact because im at work.
