First off.. you guys are still low lvls.. and everybody does pretty much the
same dmg... clerics, wiz, shamans, mages.. no real big difference. But at
higher lvls us wizards there are no equal. At 24 you get a 200dmg DD. at
30 you get one that does 300dmg plus stuns. Shamans are weak healers, weak
fighters, and weak nukers at high lvls. At high lvls, everybody will ahve
journeyman's boots or the new Rings of Running (please don't ask me about
them, i do'nt know enough info to really talk about them), so they're SoW
will be useless. Plus, us wiz get teleportation and plane travelling spells
that no other class except the druid has. Believe me, at lvl 30+ certain
classes are pretty much useless.. shamans and mages come to mind (pets are
crap and their attack spells are crap.. nobody likes the pet eating the exp.
either). Tell your shaman friend about the group portals, evacuation, and
plane portal spells he will never have.
