My bro convinced his GF to try EQ2 and shes interested by the wizzy. But were woundering if its a good soloing choice for leveling ? I know that summuner are easier but im already playing a conjy . Were not looking for the best named soloer. Im just woundering if a so so player could easely quest solo as a wizard without a merc ?
I've recently started playing EQ2 and I've leveled up a necro and a wizard. The necro was a better soloer, but the wizard kills faster if you use a merc.
it's weak in the beginning but becomes a beast as it grows. You won't need a merc unless you play to solo dungeons.
I agree with the others the Wizard is weak in the beginning due to low armor and health. But that can easily be negated with a merc if you have that, bring a Mystic to shield you and you can just stand their and nuke away to your hearts content. At higher levels or with a couple of spell upgrades you can dish out enough damage to stand on your own too feet.
I have a baby wizard myself and am glad to hear this honestly. I am trying to doing a battlemage spec since I solo mostly but still find myself struggling against most heroics, even with a merc. About what level does it become easier to stand against named and whatnot?
As a new EQ2 player, I chose a wizzy, and he is now level 53, and I have had no trouble soloing with him at all. I am able to bring down yellow, orange, and even the red mobs without much problem, and I play without a merc. That said, I have played mage classes in quite a few games, and am already familiar and adept at the principals need to fight with a mage (the big one being kiting). I don't think she should have much problem soloing as a wizzy.
Hi, sorry I cannot say straight up. It depends also on your gear, how much you have upgraded our spells and how much AA you have. The more upgraded you are and the higher AA you have the earlier (levelwise) you can bring havoc to your foes. Which merc are you using, what level are you now and what is the status of your gear/spells? dont have to list every item/spell just a generall idea Which server are you on?
Wizards get easier to solo with the more you upgrade your spells/armour etc. Also casting speed is pita, especially with the big nukes like ice comet and fusion, once they start getting quicker to cast then everything becomes a lot easier. Make sure your roots/flames of velious are upgraded then just kite. Things will get a bit easier around the level 50 range.
