AP Gain on Wiz OP

I am a wiz, and i love this class, but in my opinion i think in some sense the shield and the ap gain on the wiz is just too much. He gains ap too much and i can basically flip between shield and daily all the time and whats the point of that? 1 shield gives me 40%+ ap gain, then whats the point? other classes in not even needed, just for the boss. I would like to see other characters do something also, not just sit back and pump everything around gaining all the ap i can wish for.

nobody wants to run dungeons without wiz cause he just pushes everything around and rest of team just have to sit back and watch how stuff dies in deathpools. i think its bad for the game.
Second, your AP gain is so fast only when there is plenty of mobs around. If there is just a few you won't be able to rotate AS->Shield so often. With 15-30 mobs around your team you need this AP to keep control, a wizard having cooldowns on and no AS active is a dead weight.
So, wizards are "OP" because mobs are balanced to be much more dangerous than bosses. They should rebalance this stuff totally because at the current state fights depend on wizards far too much.
everybody think tr is dps, soon he doesnt have a role either, gwf are super strong now and can control adds as well with aoe.
I agree 100%. I don't think fights should be so CW dependant. The problem is by nerfing CW you don't solve the real issue which is adds being unbalanced. Having had Astral Shield nerfed so much you would just make many encounters even harder.
Imo they need to make adds less in numbers, adding them some special attacks in return, so whole team needs to focus not only CWs.
Enjoy the increased difficulty.
In traditional dungeons and dragons, high level mages are very very powerful.
A non-magician with no magic items/armor/weapons has little chance of victory against a high mage.
Even having high magic resistance is not enough because good mages have numerous ways to kill (and defend themselves), either directly or indirectly.
I chose a CW before I read anything on this forum, for two reasons.
1) No stealing. No lockpicking. Gameplay is combat oriented. Therefore, I skip my favorite class - Thief.
2) Magic is incredibly powerful.
In fact, rogues are needed like CWs. And obviously, tank and cleric are needed too.
The only class "not foundamental" is the GWF.... i don't even know why cryptic have 'invented' them, when they could have used paladins, with a dps spec and in future a healing spec.
But really, you say that everyone is dependant by CW... from cleric or tank no?
You are right about a healer, this role was always needful so NWO doesn't change that. About a tank: teams without it post-patch are doing great so I think Guardian Fighters are still dispensable. So devoted cleric + control wizard are a base of every team. Both are the most responsible for final success/failure.
7/10 because too many people didn't call you out for being a TR pretending to actually play a CW.
Give him a 9/10 for getting 2 pages worth of nonsense over a class he does not play and for relating something as role and class-dependent as AP gain across classes!
He gets a 10/10 if he gets a PWE post in here, of course...
