Subject: petition for a better wizard


Okay,

I spent the last 1/2 hour rewriting the petition. Hopefully this will
get us closer to bring this to a conclusion. I left the majority of the
spells out only because I really feel that we as a group will never come
to an agreement on them.

Dear EverQuest Staff,

We are a large group of wizards who have come together through a mailing
list. Through much discussion and debate, we have agreed to send you
this feedback concerning improvements to the wizard. We would like to
thank you in advance for your careful consideration of these
modifications.

1) Spells are 100% resisted by mobs 6+ levels above the caster. In large
groups hunting big prey this level cap turns a wizard from the main
dealer of damage to a useless member in the group. Our suggestion is
that either the cap be raised to 6+ levels of the highest member in the
group, or the cap be raised to 8+ levels higher than the caster.

2) Spells that both stun and damage targets are often resisted by mobs
that /con green and blue. If this is the result of the stun effect, we
would like one spell without this effect at the same level.

3) Many spell suggestions have crossed this list. Here is one that we
all feel would be a great addition.

Tap Affinity - Teleport targeted group member to their own bind spot

4) O'Kiels Radiation seems that it would be the beginning of a great
line of spells. Why should it end there? Cold and Magic based
buffs/shields would be a very welcome addition.

5) Wizards seem to be very neglected when it comes to carrying or
wearing items that enhance our appearance. Also, many completely
different spells have the same visual effects.


We would like to thank you again for your time. Any type of feedback
would be greatly appriciated.


Sincerely,

The Wizards of Norrath
