Wizards...what were they thinking?

Wizards and Rogues are two entirely different DPS comparisons. A Wizards DPS is burst, rogue's is sustained. In a group setting well timed nukes can do a lot more than "just dps" They can cancel out a healing mob, or gate mob. They can do away with the need of snare.

So comparing the two as far as DPS is concerned is hard because of how differently they both perform. Can a Rogue unload an entire tank of mana spamming spells getting mobs dead faster to prevent wipe? No. They are what they are.

I play both a wizard and rogue and enjoy them much the same. They are both great DPS and they both contribute just fine to a group. Both have areas in which they excel and ones they don't.

By saying one is useless because another one is better in a certain area just isn't true.

picked makes a really, really good point here. everyone always bashes on wizards because they aren't 'sustained dps' but they dont really need to be. there are plenty of classes that do that already. the wiz is there for when you NEED that mob dead right now, and two ice comets or conflargs are exactly what you need to make it happen.

think op just needs to roll a different class and quit qq'ing.
