I posted last night right before I fell asleep about the three spell thing for Wizards, and what not... This might seem confusing or unneeded so I'm letting you in on what the Magician spells are going to look like! (As well as pets information), Now Zone2 + Tier1 aren't set for certain, but Start is set for certain.
After Tier1 Mage's are going to get EPIC pets. Kind of like the skittle stick, in fact the first item you're going to get for the epic IS going to be "The Skittle Stick." I've yet to decide what I'm going to rename other epics, epic quests aren't going to be 'easy' though. Beta you'll be able to get to Tier1 but you won't be able to obtain your epic until we break it out of Beta (Shouldn't take more then a couple weeks to get get out of the Beta... Since it's just spells, adjusting NPC's, and a few other small things.)
Anyway, here is a screenie of what the spells look like. =).
I've tested the pets in Zone1 (Starter pets that is), and they could tank trash, and with the help of DS and the Mage's spells they died just fine. Pet had about 40%+ (Depending on what one you summoned), Mage at a good mana too. You'll be able to kill two or so without medding until you get the spell that drops from Zone1, then you should be able to kill more. Just like normal progression servers. =)...
Things are going great, moving right along to Necromancers!
