Question - Wizard - Silver, EoK Tier1 armor and 12k aa - Best DPS setup

[neophys]

Hi all,

I am building up some silver accounts for DPS and have chosen the path of Wizards as they seem the easiest to manage in full AFK mode.

I am having trouble finding the best DPS setup for them, as they are doing very random amount of DPS and running OOM constantly.

Is anyone able to help with guidance, ini suggestions or hints which will make a wizard do steady dps and what to cast etc.

I have the following AA as a minimum, dont think about the incorrect number sequence.:

3=Delay Death|M
5=Energetic Attunement|M
9=Mental Fortitude|M
10=Mystical Attuning|M
14=Armor of Wisdom|M
16=Destructive Fury|M
17=Expansive Mind|M
18=Gift of Mana|M
19=Hastened Forceful Rejuvenation|M
20=Hastened Silent Casting|M
21=Intrinsic Efficiency|M
22=Mastery of the Past|M
26=Persistant Casting|M
29=Arcane Fury|M
30=Arcane Overkill|M
31=Acromancy|M
32=Atol's Shackles|M
33=Aspect of Zomm|M
34=Beam of Displacement|M
36=Call of Xuzl|M
37=Cryomancy|M
38=Destructive Adept|M
40=Druzzil's Mystical Familiar|M
41=E'ci's Icy Familiar|M
42=Extended Silent Casting|M
43=Extended Swarm|M
44=Focus of Arcanum|M
45=Force of Flame|M
46=Force of Ice|M
47=Force of Will|M
48=Fortified Entanglement|M
49=Frenzied Devastation|M
50=Fundament: First Spire of the Arcanum|M
51=Fundament: Second Spire of the Arcanum|M
52=Fundament: Third Spire of the Arcanum|M
53=Fury of Druzzil|M
54=Fury of Kerafyrm|M
55=Fury of Ro|M
56=Harvest of Druzzil|M
57=Hastened Harvest of Druzzil|M
58=Improved Familiar|M
59=Mana Burn|M
60=Mind Crash|M
66=Ro's Flaming Familiar|M
67=Secondary Recall|M
68=Sorcerer's Vengeance|M
72=Twincast|M
73=Ward of Destruction|M

Use EoKNuke (Raz's wizzy mac). If you want to get squirrelly, add a bard to the group. If you want to get REALLY squirrelly and never run out of mana, add a beastlord, as well.

I run a group with a SK, Cleric, Bard, Beast, Ranger, Wizard ... (with out of group support from a chanter and a few others) ... and the ranger/beast/wiz NEVER run out of mana. Frankly, they're closer to 80+ almost all of the time because of the mana boosting abilities of the bard and the beastlord.

I use 5 songs on the bard in twist, and then just melee dps.

Which songs do you use for mana regen?

Use autobard if you want a set and forget version. This does NOT pull, though, so if you're using the bard to pull in afk camps or something this won't work for you. That macro will use dicho and the mana/heal delayed buff (forget what it's called). With the bard and using a properly configured KISS on a beastlord (for paragon and focused paragon) the wizzy/ranger never run oom.

sk, cleric, bard (or chanter) beast, wiz, wiz is my fav group for max dps and not running out of mana.....

The bard + beast + 2 wiz combo would crush. In EoK content, the group dps difference between SK/CLR/BRD/RNG/BST/WIZ and the SK/CLR/ENC/RNG/BST/WIZ is significant. The group with the Bard is crazy high.

I have to agree, having bard in grp is most noticable way to keep wizzies IN MANA... I recently swapped my bard out, to AA and gear up my mage, of whom i'd been neglecting since EOK, and wow, my wizzies seem to sit on their asses a whole lot now! always "waiting for xxx to med up" now..

I ran sk,enc, clr, bard, wiz, wiz before, and that felt really good.. I'm really tempted to move back to bard here real soon.. mage's mana rods are nice.. but not anywhere near what bard can do for regen..

I like the idea that sum1 says tho, that he out-of-grp assists with ench... I'm guessing enc is doin targeted runes on MA, as well as mezzing?

Nope, my ENC is mezzing, nuking, and DoT'ing. My MA is a well-AA and well-aug'd SK with T2 visibles and a combo of T1, T2, and EoK ultra-rare non-visibles. I pull 4-5 mobs at a time in EoK T1 and not even flinch. He does, though, have shining and two clerics healing him, so he doesn't get into a pinch too often. When he dies its because of some weird mob warping bs. My out-of-group group is the enchanter, cleric, and whatever random character I want. Sometimes I'll use a warrior, sometimes a zerker, sometimes a rogue, sometimes a mage... it just depends. The core group is pretty set, though.
