I want to level in groups as a Wizard

More or less having a VP or Velks robe built into their spellbook.

Ideally wizards should have reasonable sustained dmg output with big burst potential.

I think they had the right idea with rain spells, but they didn't make them efficient enough and of course the resist problem. And maybe make the rain waives hit a bit slower to allow the wizard more medding time. They gave mages a "DoT" nuke, not sure why they didn't expand on this for wizards.
