Druid v Wizard

[Feanol]

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.
