Hello all,

I have a 21st Lvl Dark Elf Wizard. I've fought many places with many different people and
here is some of what works and doesn't work...

As for solo battle tactics the only thing I can say it NOT to be touched by the enemy. As
soon as they get up to you, it is very difficult to unload your mana on it. I tend to get
as far as I can from the baddie and then cast lighting bolt as my first DD spell. I've noticed
that a lot of the time Force Shock is reisisted (grumble grumble). Then it is a toss up to enstill
them or "nuke" them again. Either way seems to work well and hopefully they are dead. If they
do manage to get up to me. I use shock of lightning, even if the baddie hits me I usually regain
consentration ( If the baddie cons as a blue. Whites and higher hit hard enough that you rarely
regain consentration). Also if you are looking for killer exp for soloing I've found that it the best
exp movement on my bar is found in the elements. (Think it over. :-) )

Grouping can be hard for a wizard. There are not many tells, "Looking for a wizard for group!"
I've spent 20 min at a time in Cazic 'Thule asking if any group needs a wizard. Just about any
other class that asks gets a group. But once in a group things can go well. The main thing I have
noticed is when your party pulls something I can cast a DD 83 - 125 damage spell and the mob will
NOT turn and come to me. It is always the first thing I do. I'll usually then sit and med the mana back from
that blast. As long as you hit the mob from time to time you will be fine. But if you unload your mana like
a crazy manic your party will not beable to get the mob off you even with the most furious taunting skills.

In a place like Cazic 'Thule I tend to use my level 12 and 16 spells (Execpt for Enstill) to do the damage.
The lizards just seem to resist the higher level spells at the moment.

Well hope you found this helpful in this sea of crazy info.
Take Care. If you ever want to share some languages look me up on the Mithaniel Marr Server.

P.S.

Can anyone verify what I saw in Kedge Keep. I went in there just to go there and scope it out. I saw
no lvl 31st Sword Fish guarding entrance and inside (though I dared not to venture far) I saw no life
of any sort. Have they not put in the mobs for that area???!!!
