Early on, Magicians do not add significant damage to a group, however, as they progress, their pets become significantly more durable and with a [[Mana Necklace]] of equivalent tier, they do do a fair amount of DPS.  With smart MQ2 setup this class requires no more effort or attention than melee dps with strike augs, but unless you invest in them heavily they typically will do less dps than a similar tiered strike melee.

The [[Mana Necklace]] for a Magician is akin to the [[Strike Augments#Ninjastrike|ninjastrike]] augments to a [[Monk]] or [[Rogue]] on EZ. You don't ''have'' to get one, but it's rather silly not do to so. They are also one of three classes (along with [[Enchanter]] and [[Necromancer]]) that can do the [[Summoner's Pack]] quest, which allows their pet to equip an [[Ultimate Weapon]].

The Magician is primarily a damage dealer and is quite similar to the [[Enchanter]] in terms of play style and damage output. Currently the Enchanter gets the upper edge damage wise, but they are still relatively close. Compared to EQ Live, the Magician pets on EZServer don't really deal a lot of damage, but they can tank decent enough. If you get the [[Summoner's Pack]] and [[Ultimate Weapon]] you will notice your pet doing alot more damage. Anywhere from 100k-200k without the items to 4-6m damage with pack and a high tier [[Ultimate Weapon|UW]].

The Magician make use of the [[Spell: Shylos Bolt of Doom|Shylo's Bolt of Doom spells]] and in [[Veeshan's Peak]] they can get [[Idol of the Jailed]] to further improve their damage.

Apart from dealing damage, there are 2-3 other spells in general that you may find useful as a Magician. [[Spell: Call of the Hero|CoH aka Call of the Hero]] will summon a targetted group member to your location within the same zone. The [[Spell: Incinerating Aura|Incinerating Aura (Damage shield)]] will grant the target a damage shield. This is mainly used to level up alts from 1-70 quickly by buffing them and have them run though a zone like Soldungb and Plane of Fire to quickly kill mobs for exp. The Magician also gets a debuff called [[Spell: Malos Malignance]] that can be used on an NPC to increase the amount of spell damage they take.

High Elf Magician with an epic 8.0 pet wearing Tserrina's Robe wielding Tserrina's Staff

What to expect from Magicians on EZServer (2023):

The Magician is primarily a damage dealer and is quite similar to the Enchanter in terms of play style and damage output. Currently the Enchanter gets the upper edge damage wise, but they are still relatively close. Compared to EQ Live, the Magician pets on EZServer don't really deal a lot of damage, but they can tank decent enough. If you get the Summoner's Pack and Ultimate Weapon you will notice your pet doing alot more damage. Anywhere from 100k-200k without the items to 4-6m damage with pack and a high tier UW. The Magician make use of the Shylo's Bolt of Doom spells and in Veeshan's Peak they can get Idol of the Jailed to further improve their damage.

Apart from dealing damage, there are 2-3 other spells in general that you may find useful as a Magician. CoH aka Call of the Hero will summon a targetted group member to your location within the same zone. The Incinerating Aura (Damage shield) will grant the target a damage shield. This is mainly used to level up alts from 1-70 quickly by buffing them and have them run though a zone like Soldungb and Plane of Fire to quickly kill mobs for exp. The Magician also gets a debuff called Spell: Malos Malignance that can be used on an NPC to increase the amount of spell damage they take.


June 2023: In general we have a lot of different spells and effects on EZServer. Some have been updated recently and some have not. While new spells and effects are added, they may have stacking issues with older content. As a general note, you should test stuff on the Practice Dummy yourself if you are unsure what gives you the best damage. Per June 2023 there are some issues you should be aware of involving Angryface Familiar, Mana Necklace, Brunaa's Two Toned Diamond Neckguard and Darkstone, Neckguard of Revenge. So what does this mean for you? If you have Angryface Familiar and use the buff, you don't need to get/use your Mana Necklace XII, as it will not improve your damage, rather just make it lower. However, if you have Brunaa's Two Toned Diamond Neckguard or Darkstone, Neckguard of Revenge, you should not use Angryface Familiar, as it will lower your potential spell damage.
