Wildfire said it all really, did tell ya in /as earlier :kissit:

If you only intend to ever go to keep defence/attack and have the most boring job on the field then do so...if you intend to still have a bit of fun and randomness then stay as an ice wizard

I only know 1 earth wizzie ^^

but I e´personally wouldn´t do it

Muwhahaha I know at least 4

It's simple, if you RvR a lot stay ice, if you go to keeptakes a lot do earth IMO.

If Mythic gave earth line some kind of special pet and a debuff at higher levels im sure we could see more earth wizzzies around:

Pet
Debuff
AoeRoot
AoeDot
Bolts

Might be a good interrupter for fgs.....

 

[Coccas]

didn't think earth wizzies had aedot

 

[Khalen]

AE Snare
AE Snare Nuke (nasty, velllly nasty on enemy pbae groups)
GTAE
Earth Bolt (very nasty on support)
DoT (nice but takes time to kill someone)

Think of it as an adventure!

Havent tried this myself yet, but i will be going:

43 earth
--------
highest gtaoe - for keep attack/defence
highest aoe root
second highest aoe dmg+snare
second highest dot (single)
second highest earth bolt - combine it with the base line fire bolt
and second highest dmg shield

32 ice
------
3rd highest pbaoe - decent enough with RA's?
3rd highest aoe dmg+debuff


Doesn't seem all bad to me.. very vesatile and not just for emain'ing.

What's fire like in RVR? Anyone?

 

[ilaya]

i have one of each (ice and earth) on prydwen atm.. lowish level but.. earth wizzy is kinda fun to play i can even park her at apk in emain and double bolt peeps who come too close for a laugh

but.. yeah.. earth seems a specialist spec, ice more an rvr spec. having said that.. i think we gonna see a LOT more keep takes soon... and i mean a HELLUVA lot more.. so maybes earth wizzies gonna get as much action as ice wizzies (iand think about it.. someone doing a keep raid.. they aint gonna turn u away are they? u got the tools hehe )

if u wanna do dmg at range, fire is your fwiend, especially if you know a body sorc.

Earth wizards are fucking GREAT in keeps be it defense or attacking, and in relic raids theyr invaluable for keeping certain choke poinks clear of PBAOE for the grunts to go thru etc.. if you have another char that youl regularly play in normal rvr instead id sugest Earth if u enjoy your keeptake

Been an Earth wizard now for about 6months, and after tonights DR i will be an Ice Wizard.

Earth is great when you could park yourself in a popular raided Keep eg Beno and cause havoc to an enemy force, and the earth bolt is a one hit mage killer, but other than that dream on about ever getting a group PVE or RVR.

I will respec to ICE as it is now the only viable spec.
