IIRC Wizards get 5:1 unresistable nukes for giants and dragons in Velious. If we give them 50 mana/tick from c2+bardsong+meditation, thats 250 damage/tick, plus the initial 15-20k from burning their manapool. So for a 15 minute fight, thats 150 * 250 + 18,000 / 900 = 62 dps, which feels pretty comparable to what a rogue would do, and they don't need healers either if they can nuke in between aoes.
And in Kunark of course, wizards blow everyone else away.

Sorry Splorf but you're assuming things under absolutely perfect conditions that just don't exist. Just for starters, those uber nuke spells are 450 mana per 2000 damage which is not 5:1. Furthermore, those nukes take 6 seconds to cast, preventing meditation during those cast times.

Up till Velious, I agree that Wizards are extremely powerful in raids.
