Wizards Arcane Grip AA

I apologize if the use of satire to make a point was in some way construed as personally offensive.

I *do* believe that a harvest mana AA would be overpowered for wizards because it would give the highest dps class even more mana to draw from on each and every boss fight. That is my opinion.

Rangers Innate Camouflage is useless also, they have the spell to get invis. Just like wizards have the root.

So lets change the rangers innate camouflage for a 10% crit rate aa ?

Yep. Kinda like "Hay guyz, I don't like this cleric AA Innate Invis to Undead, I don't hardly ever use it, I think you guys should change it to like, a passive 25% increase to crit heals"

Ordinarily I would not involve myself in a wizard discussion, but your proposed changes are completely ridiculous. Its just "Hey, I want more damage or mana, gimme." No offense there Tyrone, and others, but it seems like you all are completely disregarding a few important things here, such as:

1. Class balance
2. The fact that you don't have to buy this AA if you don't want to.
3. Some Wizards actually do use and like it.

1. Extending the Wizards harvest spells line into an AA line would be a logical progression, or a short-term 3-6% to crit for 15-60 seconds is not out of balance. DPS is what wizards do.
2. True, but that will not accomplish changing this redundant AA line with a more useful one.
3. That means it can’t be looked at for possible change or a tweak by someone that does not like or see a need for it? The rest of us should follow along blindly and never give an opinion? No thanks.


In the end, no matter how anyone tries to spin the usefulness of “Arcane Grip” it will still remain a redundant AA due to the wizards level 62 root spell "Shackles of Earth" that is a 1.6 second cast time and instant recast. This AA line is a very good candidate for replacement.
 
DPS is what wizards do.

And they do it better than any other class. Why is it you feel every single AA should be devoted to increasing the gap between wizards and other classes?

What I said was not shitting/derailing your thread. I was making a point that every class (or nearly every class) has one or two class-specific AAs of very dubious usefulness, and that alone is not necessarily a reason to go changing them.
 
All classes have some great AAs, some good AAs and some marginally useful AAs.

This one is half way between the second and the third and I really see no reason to change it. Wizards are not an impoverished class by any means as they are.
 
Sorry for not adding anything useful, but from my 61 seasoned experience Wizards
as crowd control is at best, not ideal in the high end, nor should it be.
I would leave that to Enchanters, Bards, and at times Necromancers.
Our role (if I understand wizards right) is to do incredible amounts of
Damage over a short period of time, A.K.A. Burst DPS.
Any AA that helps that ability is welcome by me.

just my 2cp
