Wizard

Froglok Wizard using a Sundrop from Old Commons

What to expect from Wizards on EZServer (2023):

The Wizards as well as all the other caster classes has historically not really been a force to be reckoned with on EZServer. In 2022 all the pure intelligence classes received a much needed boost in their damage output, making them all viable classes again on EZ. At this point they are definitely all good choices to improve your overall damage. The Wizard is currently the top DPS spell damage class, closely followed by Enchanters and then the Magicians and Necromancers. Their overall damage output is about equal to the top melee class, the Rogue. Of all the four caster classes, the Wizard is mainly just pure damage. It doesn't really get any spells of buffs that would benefit the other characters you run, like i.e. the Enchanter does.

The Wizard spells have not all been tuned. Some of the lower level spells sure could use a boost, but once you get up to Old Commons and Sunderock Springs, you can pick up some really high damage spells that will make your Wizard shine on the damage meters. In Sunderock Springs you should pick up Hatebornes Glacial Gift III and in Sleeper's Tomb the current highest hitting spell for Wizards, Dimur's Glacial Gift. Once you get to Veeshan's Peak and find an Idol of the Jailed, you can rotate that together with Dimur's Glacial Gift for max potential damage. Speaking of damage, also make sure you add the AA Prolonged Destruction in your setup and use it when you need max damage as it will increase the damage of your spells for a short period.

The Wizards Epic Augment adds a buff called Spell: Thick Aether Skin which adds 9% twincast. Twincast gives you a chance to double cast a spell, which is very powerful, it's the casters equivalent of i.e. the Rogues ability to double/triple backstab, only with spells. Bashers Robe of Clarity has the same effect as a duration click, which adds twincast as well, only Robe is much better overall.

June 2023: There is currently a stacking issue for casters on EZServer 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, then you are better off just using the T10 necklace. The other items will not improve your spell damage, rather, in some cases make it worse. However, if you do not own the Angryface Familiar then all 3 of the mentioned necklaces will give you a spell damage boost, just not as good as with the pet buff.

Primary Uses

• Highest single target spell damage class currently (2023). Using Hatebornes Glacial Gift, Dimur's Glacial Gift, Idol of the Jailed and the AA Prolonged Destruction to make the most out of your late game Wizard. Earlier on, pick up any DD spell you can find, tier for tier. Look at the spell list below for more info.
• Casters in general are popular as CoH bots once you get Call of the Warband (Reward Item) or Call of the Companions (Reward Item). With their Spell: Bind Affinity you can bind anywhere, which can make corpse recovery or moving party to a certain boss or area quite efficient.
