Back again with my opinions! Prepare!

While I'm open to the fact that a Druid when casting his whole arsenal of DoT's/Nukes/Damage Shields/Pets is capable of more damage outright, it is exactly this hodgepodge that contrasts the Wizard's specialty = Instant, massive DPS.

Considering the point many here are making that Druids do so many other things than direct damage (healing, snaring/crowd control, buffing, maintaining a charm), when it comes down to a MoB needing to die the Wizard is better prepared.

The Wizard is not worried about the hitpoints of his group-mates, their buffs, pets... He's there for a single reason: blowing creatures into a thousand pixels. He's not dedicating his manna to any other purpose, other than a few roots more for personal safety than anything.

A smart Wizard plays almost like a Cleric. Tossing out nukes here and there when appropriate, but really saving his manna for when shit hits the fan and a certain MoB or MoB's need to be killed as soon as possible.

Best stun-lockers in the game after Paladins/Clerics too!

Just two different playstyles, not very easy to compare.

How do you avoid saving your mana for when shit hits the fan and blowing your entire load in resists on the red pull that needed to be burned fast?
