• • Bright wizard

  • I've noticed that I need to cast different spells, if I cast the same spell too many times, I tend to get backlash.  I was having so much fun playing the BW it didn't bother me one bit, hence why I forgot to write about it

• • Bright wizard

  • I played the bright wizard to level 9.  I had a blast and a half!!  I for one usually don't like casters as they die very quickly and tend to attract the 'aggro' off main tanks quickly.  I experienced this in all Public Quests that I conducted.  Even with using the smoke ability which is to reduce your threat to the target, I had a hard time of getting the mob off me.

    Let me tell you some of the pros from my perspective and I didn't get to play that far.  In RVR and PVP, the bright wizard stands out with the strange hairdo and people know to target you quickly.  However, the 100 ft cast distance allows me to pop a few high damage spells off before they can reach me.  As they come charging towards me, they usually are out of a healers range and a few DOTs do some more damage as I keep trying to do more damage.  There are times where I will win and there are times where I will die.  I was usually top 3 in damage for both sides combined.  Wicked buggers.  In PVE, you will be walking through quests very quickly as you destroy mobs with ease.  What usually takes a melee class with their 30 damage strikes, you will be hitting upwards of 150-200.  There will be times nothing will even get close to you.

    Now the cons.  There are so many people playing the bright wizard.  I know this will all level out, but the class is really a lot of fun to play and I see a lot of people share in my opinion.  There were times where I did a PVP instance and all I saw were bright wizards.  You'd think greart, lots of damage output.  Wrong, we get killed rather quickly when there is no front line or melee dps for the enemy to focus on.  With collision enabled properly, it will be easier to stand back and cast while the tanks hold the front line.

    In RVR I would get frustrated waiting for tanks and melee to dive into the fray so I would go diving in.  What fun, die, do it again, as long as i was able to DOT a few people I knew I would make a contribution.

    Hope that summarizes for you a bit more.

    I was hoping for a summer release as I am a teacher and September is always a terribly busy month. But I think that if I don't give homework those few days, I will be ok!

    
     

    Homework should be to play the first 10 levels and have your students write a 10 page essay on their exp in WAR and how they interacted with other people in the game.
