On wizards and the Reborn quests?

I heard it from some of my high level guildies (none of them wizards) that only LA wiz can survive during Reborns?

I love the lot of them but it sounds kind of like rubbish so I came back here to check with my superiors and peers on whether this was true or someone was trying to pull my leg.

So my question is: Reborn Alpha/Gamma. What are they like for wizards and is there anyway to make my arcane wiz viable in those situations?

    well with a good ad expericen squad and if if u have shards than a pure wizard can finish it too. I heard an arcane wizard finsihed it, but the arcane wizards minimum requirement is at least 3 k HP and 3 k physical defence + self buffed....for rebirth gamma.
    But I guess that wizard must be good player

    Should be pure int if you want to kill each wave fast enough. If you have an organized party that works well together than you should not die and the only thing that'll matter is if you kill before the next wave comes.

    This is coming from a person in a guild that does the 86+ reborn many times a day with pure int mages and get to wave 9. Only reason why can't get further is we aren't able to kill fast enough yet.

    I had opportunity to do Rebirth Order today.

    It was my first time and I was very sceptical as I'm pure mag and still with a bit crappy equipment. My p def is nice, for a pure mag (1500 unbuffed without the barrier), but my HP is really low, about 1900. (I have a set of robes with lot's of p. def bonuses but not refined and sharded yet and a second one for grinding or magical boses with mag bonuses).

    We didn't finish it, but got quite far. Or to be more precise we managed to defeat all mob waves and the boss after the last mob wave, and we lost last battle with the last boss, that comes without the mob wave.

    For a Wizard It's like zhen. If You steal to much aggro - bad. If the archer steals form you - much better. In my case archer was a bit low but the BM and Barb did a great job. Yes I died. I died many times, but they could keep fighting till I returned. I think stronger archer would help.

    The last boss was one shooting me and the archer with his AoE and the rest couldn't kill it in time.

    Bit unclear on this, you finished all of the minibosses after each wave? Or just faced off with 1 mini boss after the miniwaves of Wave 1? Also which aura's were invoked in what order?

    We defeated all waves. I got over 20% of exp.

    All I know is that they started with HP regen and defense was turned on few waves later, after chi and some attack. But I don't know the order. I assumed they knew what they were doing and I didn't pay much attention to the auras

    I'm sorry. It wasn't HP regeneration aura but MP regeneration aura at the start. But HP was turned on very fast too.

    I've done rebirth a lot of times as a pure mage with base 2650 hp and 3.1k pys def self buffed. It's usually not me that dies first but the cleric (which results in a party wipe) And don't think you need a lot of refines to your gear, my gear has only plus 1 on it. (we usually get to the 4th or 5th boss everytime we do it, i can't do it anymore though since im 86+)

    Entirely possible to do rebirth as pure int.

    Clerics seem to be the most common fail :( 2-3 mobs on em and splorch. Often before the end of the first wave. I've got one solid cleric who's geared enough to survive till the boss shows if no one else glitches out.

    Anyone got any tips for me regarding rebirth, I fail miserably in their and have always died so often before getting to the first boss that the squad gets glitched to 1k streams.

    Idk if it's me or the squad where something is going wrong, but as it is me dieing i think something is wrong on my part.
