Ok, Ken and others out there. I am a level 19 wizard on the Xegony
server. I have found that it is nigh impossible for me to solo more than
one blue creature. I did solo blue orcs from lvl 16 to 19 and found that
I would be out of mana at the end of the battle with just ONE! At 19 I
would sometimes end up with 2 bubbles left still not enough to get
another with root.
I guess I am asking WHEN it becomes possible to do the 2-3 you
mentioned. I must point out that it MAY be possible at 19 to do two
orcs, but they are blue/green border so the LOWEST of the LOWEST blue. I
also can not solo a yellow orc ( or any yellow I've tried ) as my root
never lasts long enough for me to do more than 1 blast. Maybe I'm doing
the wrong creatures, but I think my root-and-shoot strategy is the only
one out there.
I am excited about 20, and have enjoyed my wizard so far. But, being a
human ( in RL) I can't help feeling spell-envy looking at other classes
being able to solo yellows or more than one blue. It seems that the
*bar* keeps getting raised at where people say: at THIS level you will
shine. At first it was 12, then 16, then 20, now it's up in the 30's!
Well who has been there, who can confirm or deny our delusions of future
grandeur? And to those in the 20's, what can you solo and where?
As far as being in a group, many many people appreciate my help as a
wizard. I also have seen many people asking for magic user help. I guess
they are starting to learn that all the mages are good for something!
Unfortunately, I often see them telling me to "BLAST" "BLAST" in the
midst of battle when my better judgement tells me that I will get mobbed
if I do so quick. My response of course, "Dark Elf is about to die."
