    a) you get outdmged by any physical DD and APS char

    Oh, did you have to run all the way up to the mob, get denied a hit because the mob moved one third of a meter then you totally wasted a spark or other skill as a caster? Is it aps toons that are running trophy modes? Is it aps squads that get BHs done the fastest?
    d) to get a wiz working you need relatively more funds compared to other classes
    in other words you need to spend more to reach the same outcome

    Roll veno: buy herc and nix OR roll Mystic and med your life away. -seriously?

    I have a question. And it's not by any means a mocking one.
    If wizard class is bashed so much, and even wizards don't really like their class that much (not everyone does, but many comments on wizards' faults/weaknesses), what keeps you high-levels play your wiz?
    As you guys state wizard's bad points out, there's hardly a reason to play a wiz unless one is bored/rich/wanna-be-different <<< this is the message I'm getting from reading wiz forum.
    Again it's an honest question coming from me, and I hope I can get replies/opinions from you guys.
    Thanks.

    dont need to be useful always




    sometimes i get lost and loose my squad chasing some archers or whatever
    i end up alone behind the lines and demon spark ~ + AD + Ironguad Powder


    and take a few people with me single targeting

    the common rank8 arcane/archer or common bm dies to a gush crit without spark dealt by a simple r8+10 (sparked damage is like crit damage)

    so 12 seconds time to 1shot rampage before i hit go-to-town




    vent "hex where are you? ...oh youre dead again"

    I said -channeling gear because why just get rid of melee intervals? Then all the non -chan players would complain. b:chuckle
    If they meant to make the game purely for fist smacking, then why would they have other classes and skills that are not based on this? The experience is meant for a cooperation and tactics of different types of players, hence the different classes. That's the whole experience behind a dungeon raid. It allows technique to flow in. You can't call spark, whack and smack technique now can you?
    I guess I should have been more clear, -chan and int should not be in the random stats of equipment upon making them.
    I'm always happy to help the trollsaurus's understand how intelligent they actually are. b:pleased
    I go through countless threads with people QQ'ing about not getting a party and being useless. This is a solution for your tears, unless you just want the game to continue to be "broken" so you have more QQ'ing to do(maybe you just like to QQ? b:dirty).

    Interval & channeling gears they work different ways. They are NOT equal. -0.1 is not same as -6% channeling.

    b:chuckle That sounds just like you.

    Also I did not wanna say that demon wiz are useless in TW, just that using your chi for demon sparks (constantly, not when you do stuff like you described above :p) is kinda.. flashy o.o

    I know that with all the negative points mentioned it is hard to understand why people still play wiz. Well let's try to list the pros for you:

    wizard is the class in game with the largest AOE Spells because the ultis have 12m which is nice in PvE and PvP because you can attack many mobs

    wizard 3-5 hits mobs without crits or sparks or debuffs so in terms of 1by1 killing wiz is nice especially because you have a seal (FOW) that always works even on mobs where knockback doesnt work + you have distance shrink in combination with slows which allows the wiz to "kite" mobs instead of taking dmg

    the dmg a wiz does depends on the element type the wiz uses + you can use barriers to sharply reduce certain dmg types

    The wizard is fun to play in PvP and can deal high direct dmg to a target + is good for dropping high hp phy def targets like barbs

    When geared properly the wiz has high elemental + high physical def with medium hp which is good for pvp and gives you chances against all of the old classes

    The animations of the skills look cool but not overanimated

    a wiz can work together and produce synergy effects with many other classes in PvP and PvE and also do some supporter work

    but i think the most important point is that the wizard has a lot of different skills and gives the player a chance to develop a own attack pattern
