I’ve seen this posted a few times even today and I wanted to understand why some people feel this way. Yes, it’s a game-changer and makes t4 and below a breeze. But what exactly is it about Woh that makes a lot of folks feel it’s too strong?

To be honest, Wizards aren’t so great in t6 relative to a lot of other classes. In any group setting, you’re always better off swapping a Wiz out for a Barb/Cru/WD/Monk (if one isn’t already in the group). I don’t know much about DHs but I’d assume perma-Marked For Death from Calamity along with a Maurader’s or LfB build is very strong in groups. For solo play, I’ve only seen a handful of Wizard efficiently do t6 and they mostly run AT, Archon, MM/Hydra, or some iteration of that. I’ve yet to see a Woh Wizard clear t6 efficiently (if you have a vid to show me otherwise, I’d love to see). A quick search on youtube shows a few t6 Woh Wizards but all their clear times are 10min .

For those that don’t have one and think that it’s going to be their gateway to faceroll t6, I have some bad news. I think you’ll run into the issue a lot of Woh users have and that’s survivability. With EB, you’re essentially a melee class but without the innate 30% damage reduction that true melee classes have.

Of course, this is just from my experience and the experience of other Woh Wizards I talk to. And of course, I’d love to be proven wrong! What’s your thoughts?
