I've said this a million times on the forums.

I hate min-maxing, I'll invite an iksar shadowknight into a group full of paladins, but as a 60 wizard, wizards have no place in groups.

I've crunched the numbers, they're just so underpowered. At level 60 where nukes/heals are at their most mana efficient, a wizard's most mana effective nuke is only .4 mana/damage more efficient than a DRUID or a MAGE. At level 60, it comes out to be 12 damage/second in a sustained setting. The "root/stun/evac" excuse does not even come close to making up for it.

Wizards are great soloers, raiders and chardok AoEers, but they have no place in a group.

That being said, quad kiting is amazing exp and great if you wanna level a character while learning something or chilling out on netflix for 10 minutes between pulls, but it does get lonely/boring.
