Newb Alert! Need help with wiz/sorc!

[Eburk]

Hey folks, I'm a returning player who never got too far into the game. I've always been somewhat partial to caster classes, particularly those that make the enemy go boom. I'm interested in rolling either a wizard or a sorcerer with the ability to solo, yet also be viable in groups. My playtimes are fairly erratic and often take place when I am unable to group with others for long stretches of time. My main question is which of these would be more suited to this idea? Would going through quests be too much of a pain as a glass cannon like I like to play? I'm willing to make some slight adjustments and more than willing to take a few bumps while learning the class, I just want to make sure I'm not trying to fit a square peg into a round hole by trying to make a caster that can solo effectively.

If this post seems too scatter brained, feel free to ask other questions and I will gladly answer them. Also, I guess I should point out that I'm a free player so I don't have access to all the pay-to-play perks. Thank you!

either class can solo effectivly.

either go wf wizze and go evo spec, blow things up with force

or go wf sorc and blow things up with your chosen element

which ever you go, go max casting stat, then max con

hob

edit: doh i just saw that you are f2p, so no wf

if you have do it go human sorc max cha, max con, put points into umd every level
