Topic: Question about fire wizzies

Any idea how good in RVR an albion fire wizzy is?

See, I love the fire wiz because I have two bolts that deal huge damage, and the best albion DD in the game, and a nice targted AoE too.

But I figure, people in RVR are going to run around with swords drawn anyway, so no bolts. And wizzies are a huge RVR target, so I'll seldom get close enough to chain cast DD's.

CBTao wants me to earth spec for GTAoE, but I like walking around with a pair of cannons

First off, your GTAoEs are GREAT for seiging keeps.

However, in standard RvR, your single target asswhippings are your friend.

Unless mass damage is needed, all you're going to do with AoE stuff is PISS OFF THE SORCERERS.

They cannot AoE Mezz if you break it with a nuke. Same with Healers and Thanes, etc.

The idea of not being able to cast a bolt on anyone, and not being able to get close enough to cast a DD is what's getting to me.

I get bolted if my sword is drawn. It's not so much as having it drawn as doing something with it.

Oh really?

I guess mobs follow different rules in that regard

I'd go with earth spec, since you get a decent bolt spell in that line anyways. The AoE root would be nice as well I imagine, not to mention a very potent DoT.
I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

Shrug, I'm not much of a caster, much less a bolt caster.

I know with my shaman, I have a bolt and I can hit damn near anyone with it unless they are ACTIVELY ENGAGED in melee combat with -something-

"Decent" in terms of other bolt casters, but nothing like having two available bolts. Spec'ing fire increases the damage on your base line bolt too.

At level 14 I got two new bolts. I can usually drop an orange with just them.

You could go so far into earth and then rest into fire. Get something decent like root from earth and then get your bolt spells. You never know you may find the fire bolt spells may be the most fun, its pretty much what you make of it.

Well, one option is to keep going fire until Lv.40 then re-spec in earth.

Fire is the best for Group vs Group
Ice is the best for Keep Defense
Earth is good for Group vs Group, and keep defense.

I was low on health after a rush to mb to smash a cleric and was just about to port back into the keep when I get whacked in the back of the head by a 3-tonne ball of magma.. Ouch

I play a fire wizzie on the pvp server, its a fun life but a tough life.

After 1.59b you should probably go Ice.
