Dude, just leave wizards and go to archer/swordie… if you like magic damage, go for clerics. Honestly wizards has no future. =) I has been rerolling to archer even I have an eleWarlock that invest LOT of silver into attribute.
From recent all the R8 KTOS videos, seriously i see no point further upgrade my wizards anymore. Everyone getting DPS class at rank8 and better rank6 and rank7 upgrades. What does wizards get? Two R8 supportive class, slightly warlock ugprade, slightly FF upgrade, a decent necro c3 and useless alchemist c3.
Compare to archer’s, except hackaspell is a sh*t, everything is decent to the best. Swordie’s? Look at Dragoon c2 dethrone? Insane dmg, range(almost off screen), low cd with 2 overheat, slow boss and bind non-boss for 5s. This is what we call IMC logic for balancing.
I think you should give up wizards until r9 info released IF you really want go for dps. Because i think IMC thinking is a bit different. Wizards not a must to be best dps, while cleric not a must to be supportive. From the game you see, players actually demand wizard support more than cleric support. What players need from cleric is just healing. IMC logic you will never beat it
