 '''Soloing:''' Very tedious. Wear mana gear to regen then swap to AC to fight. Use surged harm (or desiccate but out-of-class lag is bad) to get mob down to big nasty wounds then cast phlebotomize from there.
-'''Tanking:''' Viz aren't great tanks, due to no wield slots, ooc rescue, and lag.  Their best spells are cast at the end/after a fight, and require between a half round to a full round of lag, which slows down the run.

 At the Lord tier Viziers want as big a mana pool as they can get to maximize the amount of souls they can harvest with soul shackle. Thus, start with standard [[:Category:Lord Mana Gear]]. There is a possibility of creating gear with similar mana stats, but adding AC via the [[transmogrify]] gear.

+Viziers gain additional options at lord. Fights will often still start with the Vizier casting final rites however they then have the option to soul shackle which causes them to take spell damage in exchange for a bigger pool.
