    Or that the game balance is **** and broken. I agree with your post, but I refuse to accept it (until I quit anyway).

    I don't accept it, I QQ about it. And it's morons who disagree with it ("wizards are just fine" or "the game is fine" or "-interval is fine cause it's only for PvE mostly") that get on my nerves when they know. I mean why does it bother them that I ask for wizzies to be improved so they are useful in PvE as well? Or to nerf the -interval classes, most of the time their excuse is PvP balance when they already said that -interval doesn't matter much in PvP (since target most of the time doesn't stay still)... morons are plentiful.

    I've been a wizard for a long time, and I've come to realize that you just have to accept that you're useless in instances. Wizards are specifically built for one purpose only, and that's pvp. Don't try to lie to yourself and say that wizard is a pve class. So making money to improve your gear so that you can actually be useful in the one role that your class is good for is ALWAYS going to be hard.

    Anyway, that's why people say wizard is the hardest class. It's not actually hard skill wise, in fact it's one of the easiest in that sense. It's hard because it's hard to get good gear without wasting tons of time farming money, and endgame is all about having good gear.

    Ugh.

    Ok, where did you ever see "why" wizards were built? And assuming you are correct that they were "built only for pvp", you don't see a problem with that? I highly doubt it is true, but assuming it is, isn't it a stupid thing that should be corrected?

    Also, we have excellent mass aoe damage. Hardly a skill meant for 1 vs 1 pvp. Or were we designed for an even more limited role? Group vs group pvp only? Surely you don't believe we were intended to have so little purpose.

    And wizard is the hardest class not because of cost. Please. We use practically the same gear as every other arcane class.

    Some of this has been said before but let me just summarize the facts.

    Wizard is not a DPS class, it's a DPH class.

    And a wizard + psychic + blademaster team can get some incredibly damaging hits in...

    But wizards have really good dps on crowds, and they have great defenses and defensive abilities. (Archers and Psychics also have good DPS on crowds but both of them suffer when they pull aggro. Archers do half damage against close up monsters, and psychics have to do something analogous to themselves, to keep themselves alive.)

    And properly built wizards can tank a few hits. And wizards can sometimes keep everyone alive in what would otherwise have been a squad wipe.

    Oh, and my wizard has done well enough in some competitive PvE situations. (Better than other wizards with better better weapons than I, better than many but not all 5aps characters, abysmally worse than a top-end 5aps assassin with +12 daggers.) However... I did not do so good in the Nein event (I never got above maybe 9th place there), and I have never tried the celestial tiger event, so it is not all easy street for me.
