WizardOverview
Documented from Doctor Nachoz's on-camera/stream runs during July 2026 open beta (post-July-14 patch). Compiled guide, not an official write-up. Ogre via race unlock — see the Ogre Paladin race-unlock guide.
Group AoE farming and leveling with a flexible raid conversion at endgame. Stack AoE spell damage — Firestorm, Project Lightning, Fingers of Fire — with upgraded nukes carrying big negative resist mods. Four loaded stuns are the interrupt engine against caster mobs. Harmony of Nature (Druid 29) pacifies mobs up to level 65 with a fast cast and refresh — the stated Plane of Sky tech, since bosses cannot be pacified but adds can. Evac always loaded.
Group to farm motes, solo to level. At raid tier the caster slots swap out (Pal/Shm/Monk or Pal/Shm/Rogue) — the initial run gears everything up.
