It'll be fun when wizards are actually good for once.

Yea pretty much. Even then, a super geared cm wizard back then did 300k crits on level 60. Monk gear was super expensive but they were actually the strongest by far. So were barbs.

yes thats true.. but once u see a 4 man team, u wont see wizards. it is either 2monk 2 barb, or a 1 monk 3 barb build.

To be fair archon is probably the least exciting build of all classes in the game. Much like a WW barb it is point and hold. The difference being WW barb stays perma-powered while archon wiz has no way of prolonging archon.

So its like a light-switch of power. On off on off.

CM wiz was mega-interactive. Always on the edge of life or death if you messed up your positioning and always clicking all your buttons.

Frankly they murdered that class when they lowered APoC rolls from 6-10 to 3-4.

The class can no longer maximize casts per second. Instead we are made to cast-wait-cast-wait.

Doesnt feel powerful.

Used to be able to gear around APoC to help maximize build potential. Now it feels like a bogus after thought.

You cant nuke APoC rolls to combat CM wiz efficiency... then later decide to remove CM all together... and never return the APoC rolls.

Wizard is useless and always will be going forward. Cant burst as well as other classes (see: WD, DH, BARB, MONK) or put out damage-over-time as well as other classes.

Right down with Sade
Edit: plus there is absolutely zero use for them in 2,3 or 4 man leaderboards
