hello. i have been reading around and everyone says that rogue is the best soloer of euro characters. i want to know why wizard cant be a good soloer. it has great damage so it can kill a monster before it even touches it.

That is retard comment really ... No matter how good can you play it , with crap gear and without cleric subclass you will die in 1 crit ...

Anyway ...Wizard can solo great ... fastest leveling build ... you just need to pimp some gear and get Cleric subclass ...

If I can solo as a bard/cleric, then of course a wizard can solo as well. :) Just use bard sub for speed and noise or cleric sub for buffs and healing or warlock sub for debuffs and healing.

If you know your char, a wiz can solo.
Even without dying too much.
Just be careful around giants.

My main problem when I had a wizard was that like Nitro said if a monster
crits on you you'll die. And that actually will happen a bit more then you may expect. Also if you have even the slightest lag. You'll probably die. Even with Noise. all it takes is one champ/gaint to sneak up behind you while your lagging and BAM your dead.

With Wizard/Bard it can be hard against Party mobs and Giants. Wizard/Cleric is alot easier. You can put Bless and Recovery Divison up.

Wizard/Bard = Unlimited MP + Protection from Aggressive Monsters
Wizard/Cleric = Healing Spells + Powerful Buffs + Offering
Wizard/Warlock = Stacking Attacks + HP Absorption + Damage Reflection

hm... you dont die from 1 crit from normal mob if you know how to play :S

if you know you'll get hit, just use hp pot before it hits you... the healing will absorb the damage and your hp wont go down till a few more hits

Wizards are great as soloing, as long as you can constantly replenish their HP and MP. You can do this by subbing Bard and spamming HP Potions or subbing Cleric (Less Damage, Much Better Survivability)/Warlock (More Damage, Less Survivability) and spamming MP Potions.

Of course, this is if you go with an Int build.
