Casters like wiz are not made weaker by delaying high damage spells, it is part of the game to allow a war to build hate. They cannot deal 1100 damage in 10 seconds, but they can sustain against 1000s of points of mob damage while they build hate. They love clerics and keep them as pets for this reason. Some famous warriors have whole harems of them!
Many clever casters wait until there is 2 or 3 ice comets (frigsample) worth of health left to finish it to stop mobs healing or fleeing or gating.
Mileage varies as others will have different/better strategies.
