Why Are Wizards So OP?

Why is wizard the most OP class in PWI? At endgame they can have 80+ def levels and 15k+ in each defences. That is ridiculous as it makes them extremely tanky. Just to make them even better at surviving, the devs decided to give them 'distance' shrink, so now even if you get them they can just shrink away.

Wizards also have the best offensive capability. With R9 they have over 90 attack levels and can easily one shot most of the players with a simple undine-gush combo. Against fellow R9 players undine with genie spark on a dex genie means they pretty much debuff the opponent's fire defence to nothing and deals massive damage. If that won't do they have sutra which enables them to channel all 4 ranged fire skills within just 6 seconds. It's OP when a 40k HP barb gets dropped by just one wizard in under 10 seconds.

To make matters worse PWI also gave wizards (demon at least) amazing control skills. The stun of stone rain is comparable to Head Hunt (requires 2 sparks) or Drake's Dash (1 spark). Mountain Seize also carries an AoE stun and also dealing a lot of damage.

All in all this class is definitely broken and I have no respect for anyone who plays this class.

    I suddenly feel awesomer, I'm now OP.

    Only a tiny bit tho, I felt awesome anyway, I'm a god damn Wizard ffs b:cool
    I've quit excluding TW for my faction. But I still hang around to help out those who still enjoy the game under PWEs horrific handling and to have fun in the forums. b:cute
    #Shame about PWEs absolutely craptastic handling of the goons glitching. Remember kids, there's no punishment for breaking the rules here!#
    If you make a valid complaint, your thread will disapear. Don't post it here, post it on other sites where PW can't hide it.

    Incorrect sir. How can a sin DD through the 15k or even 20k p.def of a wizard as well as their 80+ def levels? Meanwhile as soon as the wizard is out of the stun they can just gush the sin and kill it in one shot, 2 if deaden nerves is active.

    It's kind of silly how much general discussion has degraded into nothing but QQ and trolls...

    Just taking a look at the front page 16 of the 20 threads are one of those 2. That's 80%.

    Why so muffintops? These threads are the only entertaining part of the forums.

    If it wasn't for the trolling and responses they get, I'd have to revert to something more childish, like making slug salt mazes.

    You know. I once actually tried to sum up all the stupidity in general discussion in one animated signature. I failed. 500x100 pixels is by far not enough to express the amazing idiocy some people here can sprout. lol

    General forums isn't really meant to be entertaining but I do agree, sometimes it's entertaining to see someone troll or something stupid but this, I don't see what's so funny. Can you point out the funny parts?

    Idk wtf to think. Take the OP seriously, or gloat with my sucessors.
    Don't pay attention to the joining date please. I've been playing this game before the Rising Tide Expansion came out. I don't have a high leveled character because school and life gets in the way.

    why not have someone post a troll on how barbs are so OP. Wizards, clerics, psychics, and any other caster class arent OP so how bout do one on barbs since ppl are QQing bout sins, and caster classes.

    heres some of the points to why a barb is OP.

    demon spark, aps, claws, more aps, more demon spark, more claws and even more aps. b:laughb:chuckle

    Real original, OP. GD's been pretty boring, but without a new super-sale/abusable exploit (PQ3 seems to be minor compared to older stuff)/expansion occuring atm, its to be expected that the QQ would be even more stale than usual.
