i'm madder than you think, check out my Mickey Miracle build, he can tickle quite well already, and he always had bigbies sitting bullseye. i am working on a caster/cleaver hybrid build. if your wizard has so many spells, i wonder how a sorcerer would do. even more probably, no ? mimp

Dachy gear, wiz secret robes, illthid bracers, UR staff and UR belt. Only leaves you with rings, helm and off hand slot to mess around with but hey you're there to cast spells not mess around with gear, that's for people who want to get near to stuff and that sure as Hell isn't going to be my wiz. I'll admit if you get Tia gear you can push this number up significantly but I don't have much of this stuff and my other level 60 mage doesn't even have the tag so is stuck with my standard gear loadout. Who said anything about newbie wizards? I just said you can get over 25 spells which is correct, if you want to add in other factors feel welcome but the comment that Wizards don't have enough spells is laughable (in this mod anyway).

if your wizard has so many spells, i wonder how a sorcerer would do. even more probably, no ? Not many more at all -- on the order of about 2 more which is trivial when you're in the 20+ range. I think his point was that it's irrelevent -- by many standards a wizard on HG can get a huge number of spells. Played correctly a wizard using only Dachy gear (no UR, no Tiamat) can clear out at least one of the Illithid houses solo without resting. A sorc with equivalent gear isn't going to do any better (and may have more issues due to spell selection or spell penetration failure). Chainlink, my comment was because I picked up on your phrase "how exactly have you been equipping your wizards? " when I believe hippy has only casters in the low 40s and is pretty new here. I doubt he has Illithid caster gear that he can equip, and perhaps no UR caster gear (though that's really irrelevent for level 9s), nor has his INT risen to a level 60's point. Expecting a level 42 from a new player to have 30 spell slots is not realistic.

Newb plan - Get imortality, get in party and go kill dachy and then either keep doing it until you get the items you need or trade with other folks for them (in fact I see quite a lot of dachy stuff in the sales chests these days so gold may be all you need). Non-Newb plan - Get immortality, load up your standard URs then get in party and go kill dachy and kit your caster out with the gear you've hoarded for ages. I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure hippyimortal has not made any wizards becuase "They don't get enough spells".
