"b-but how does it make sense that the wizard is stronger then the barbarian????" well if that's a level 30 wizard who can keep up with demigods vs a fresh level 1 barbarian, yeah, i'd fully expect that wizard to have some tricks to outmuscle that barbarian, the wizard's a part of a strike force that's about to MURDER ORCUS.</blockquote>
