Neverwinter Beholder: A Personal Tanking Perspective

As a wizard, I've had the pleasure of exploring various roles and builds in Neverwinter's Conquest Wars (CW) environment. One of my favorite aspects is providing control for our group, which is often overlooked but crucial for success. In this article, I'll share my personal experiences and insights on building a versatile wizard that excels at different tasks, including tanking.

Control is Key

-------------

Almost all our spells offer some form of control, whether it's a knockdown, stun, slow, or knockback. As wizards, we're often invited to parties because we can provide this vital aspect of group play. It's essential to learn how to use multiple sets of spells to master wizardry and challenge yourself to make any group composition work.

The Role of the Wizard

-------------------

As a wizard, it's not just about dealing damage; we must also be adaptable and willing to adjust our strategy based on the situation. Our role is to provide control, whether that means single-target damage, area of effect (AOE) damage, controlling adds, or even pushing enemies off cliffs.

Personal Tanking Perspective

-------------------------

As a personal tank, I've found that being versatile is crucial. Instead of focusing solely on one aspect of the game, I've learned to adapt my build and playstyle to suit different encounters. This approach has allowed me to experiment with various roles, including tanking, and compare damage output to other classes.

Experience in Different Roles

---------------------------

I've had ample time to explore different roles a wizard can fulfill for each encounter. From running multiple types of groups (with or without tanks) to participating in PvP, I've gained valuable experience and insight into what works well and what doesn't.

PvP and Tanking

-------------

While I find PvP in Neverwinter relatively silly, I do enjoy competing with other players. As a tanking wizard, I've found that my ability to provide control and adapt to changing situations has helped me excel in this area.

-------

In conclusion, building a versatile wizard that excels at different tasks is key to success in Neverwinter's CW environment. By providing control, adapting to situations, and being willing to experiment with different roles, you can become a valuable asset to any group. Whether you're looking to tank or provide damage support, remember that there's no one 'right' way to play – it's all about finding what works best for you.
