I have 2 max life wizards, I was able to quest just fine without a low pip aoe, some schools just take longer than others.
I actually found balance a lot more painful since they have puny blades and any tower shield or weakness is an issue for your blades, you have to carry pierce, shatter and cleanse, I found balance much more slow questing and they have a 4 pip aoe.
adding to this...... Storm and Balance has no DOT, Life and Death, no AOE, Myth no heals, no school but fire has Fuel, Death has the worst Global, Until Baskilisk, Myth had no DOT, Myth and Balance have the only 2+ Hit spell, Storm is the only one with a X AOE card till Penguin, Storm is the only one with an AOE trap, Balance is only one with AOE blades, Ice only one with AOE, and Universal Shields, Life and Ice only one with Absorb Shields...... gonna make all this for every school too? since life has to have a 4pip AOE?

Sure, Why not. Having your cake and eat it to is a great Idea
I'm a Death, and just like you I had no 4 pip AOE throughout the first arc, and I did 100% fine, didn't really have any trouble. I relied on Wraith and Skeletal Pirate a LOT to get through (especially Wraith) and it worked pretty well for me. I'd just stack stack stack, attack an enemy, defeat it, then move on to the next one. Sure it took a while, but I had no problem with it. It might have been because my Wraith healed me pretty well, but even so, you're a Life, you can heal just as easily.
i'm thinking maybe a 4 pip aoe life spell drop from loremaster maybe it should be 5 pips though because 4 pips life aoe might either be too simple (no other effects) and be identical to leafstorm or have too low damage otherwise too op anyone agree?
As a life wizard myself I do think that life doesn't need a 4 pip AOE. Numerous people before me have made very solid points as to why and they're completely right. We should try to diversify the schools instead of trying to make them all alike and if it bothers you so much you could always just use the pet that gives the 4 pip AOE.
