It is not because everyone is building Wiz or Barbarian, it is simply the class being badly designed.
- It is very immobile with statue taking 4 - 5 seconds to cast.
- Statue cannot move after spending 4 - 5 seconds, and party already moved on
- Now you want to craft another one, you are in cooldown
This is a Gold Icon class, perhaps it is not exactly meant for fighting.
