Wizards aren't meant to do consistent dps. Wizards even out damage spikes and smooth the group out.
For instance I only nuke mobs that hurt the tanks. Casters where AC doesn't help. A mob that's beating the shit out if the tank. Healers that are healing. And of course gates. And a wizard adds more than just.damage. My root CCs a melee mob just as well as mez.
People get so concerned with steady dps. It's necessary but it won't stop gaters consistently. Or checks. Or runners. Having a good wizard that realizes a wizards true role is an asset to the team more than another afk rogue spamming backstab while they watch Netflix.
