I’ve never done a P99 raid. Can someone explain why wizards are better than other DPS classes at raiding, other than for their ports?
I totally get that wizards can deal damage the FASTEST, but that’s provided that they have mana. They’re just going to turn their whole mana bar into damage and then sit there medding while everyone else either catches up in damage or even surpasses them, right? (I’m assuming a raid fight lasts long enough for this to occur, no??)

If you’re talking about clearing hordes of trash in Fear or Hate or ToV, then yes, wizards are low DPS. But if you’re talking about burning down a 32k hp Kunark raid mob with a nasty AE, it’s helpful to have several wizards to make the fight shorter. Once you have a certain number of wizards, if they all use up a full mana bar, that’s a ton of damage, delivered faster than other classes can do it.
