CW's Viability

The wizard is not liked as much as the others because a couple reasons one being it is riddled with bugs and the lack of AOE dmg puts it wya off behind other classes in AOE. It’s one of the most nerfed classes in the game. It’s thum path was gutted not to long ago so witch was a pretty have nerf IMO to that path that just killed it so now we are forced to play the arc to be any good. the bread and butter of the wizard is you relying on AP regeneration for our biggest most powerful daily (lol) arcane empowerment. With that daily it makes the wizard one of the best single target units in the game. That’s really all the class is good at single target and really nothing else. Even with all the nerds and bugs I really enjoy the way this class works. It can still be a very powerful class with the right set up. And picking the wiz as your first character is still very viable. There will always be room for a CW in group settings. It’s just that the wizard is a little awkward at the moment.
