Archmage Versus Bright Wizard

I am still undecided.  What class should I play?  I have love for my first main which is my Bright Wizard.  I love my Archmage too.  I just need to decide in the next few days which character I will play post patch 1.4, and the RvR packs.

It is a tough decision.  I go back and forth in my mind which one I should play.  Each class has things that make the class fun to play.  I just can't decide which one to play.

My Bright Wizard has basically seen it all.  I have so many memories with my main.  My Bright Wizard is renown rank 71, close to a royal scenario weapon, sovereign in the bank, and could be 80 probably pretty quick with the new bonus so I could right up there with everyone trying to get 100.

I hate alot with my Bright Wizard too.  I think we have been nerfed enough that I feel like I can't kill anyone one versus one.  I feel like I always need a pocket healer.  I just feel we have no crowd control to win a small fight.

My Archmage feels like a killing machine.  I feel I can take anyone on one versus one.  I love being able to heal myself, and dps without blowing myself up like my Bright Wizard.  I have fun playing her every time I log in.  The problem is my Archmage is under geared, and barely renown rank 40. 

I am pretty excited about being able to buy some RvR gear to get started, and it should make me more competitive than before.  The renown bonus sounds pretty crazy, and I could be renown rank 80 pretty quick even though I am 40 right now.

I am leaning towards just playing my Archmage, and if patch 1.4 came out today I would be playing my Archmage.

Mission Accomplished

At the beginning of the weekend I set a goal to reach level 40 with my Archmage.  With the double xp, and renown it seemed like a pretty easy feat.

It still seemed long, and tedious even with the double xp.  I did it in alot of short sessions to make myself not think about it so much.  It was still tough.  The last little bit always seems to take forever.

Anyways I am 40 now, and I may gather some renown here, and there.  I just am not going to go full blown burn out mode since the renown leveling curve is changing in the near future.

It is hard to believe I now have four rank 40 toons in Warhammer, and plenty of other alts not far from it.  They are starting to look like a trophy case.

I still feel no urge to go back to my BW.  Even with the new announcements it just seems I have lost interest in that class.  My archmage is definitely my new main.
