What ruins wizards are the ones who get in a group and cast once every 3 mobs. I see this a lot. Once it was in a group with an SK as tank and a bard and chanter, so aggro and mana wasn't an issue.

It can still be an issue, depending on what the wizzy is casting and how fast the mobs are dropping.

Oddly enough, your stuns may be more beneficial in a group setting than your sunstrike/draught line of nukes. If it takes 20 seconds to drop a mob, having it stunned for nearly half of that time is better than putting out 1k damage. It eases up on the heals and mana/aggro of your other group members significantly.

Yes, wizards are gimped. They solo the worst of all int casters and offer the least to a group. It's hard to get groups, it's rough quadding/soloing to 60. In a raid setting, though, they're a critical asset.
