55-60 can be solo'd in Nadox at least (Quadding making it all that much better). Post 60 you could quad flies in the Plane of Disease, I really forget all the places I went...but if you check around, check the maps for level ranges on Alla's and you will be surprised at how underrated a soloer the wizard really is.

Alright, I've read alot about quad kiting. believe it or not, I never got into it that much with the guilds I was in. (always had groups). Being 70 now, wanted to experiment doing this, like in Dranik Scar for faction. Found that my rain spells do NOT follow a walking mob. So, how does one quad kite if rain spells don't follow walking mobs? Is quad kiting only allowed in certain zones, with the newer expansions having nerfed that ability?

for quadding, you use the -remarkably under-efficent at the levels we are now at- pillar line of spells. the fire one being the best, doing 952 non-critical.

while rain spells will not follow a walking mob, they will fall on your quadkite a single time, doing damage to all 4, so either of the oow rain spells are a good option for quadding. they are not as mana efficient as the pillars, but they do more damage (1168 non-critical)and therefore speed things up.

you can quad in any zone where the mobs do not summon, basically. use discretion regarding wanderers.

Wiz and Pally are not a good team. There's 0 synergy. Compare it to a good team like mage/necro or even monk/shaman. Only wiz rogue and a couple others are worse, imo. With no healer, the Pally would be tank/self healer and the wizzy would need to burn a lot of mana. The down time would be pretty bad.

Well. TBH Pally/Wiz Duos work wonders... if ou know how to do them. I duoed with a 70 pally and my level 65 wiz to take down that named assasin in Skyshrine to finish up the Giant Bane quest. Tol pally to stay back and do the healing while i did most of the damage by root and nuke. worked very well. And got my spell also.

But another place fro around 55-61 would be katta bank/tavern/stairs guards. Theres a guide a graffe on how to quad kite them as well

Yes Wizard can solo to lvl 75 while lfg quite effectively.Your goal would be to quad kite multiple npc`s a huge advantage over other classes.I have seen high end Wizards quad in the Halls Of Honor.The exp is very good when you quad alot npc`s at once.

Can only quad 4 at a time.. Cause thats the max # of mob's your snare will hold on if casted. you can do a quadx2 *someone on graffe fourms showed a vid of othmir quadding all of em at once, forgot what he called it* but thats if your good at quadding. Quadx2 is with 8 mobs snare first 4 then snare second 4 hthen Pillar of flame first roup and keep both groups still snared till one group is down then start with the second group of 4 with reetes to snare if necisary
