A single wizard (55-60) can do over 10k-12k damage in a minute. Kunark mobs get destroyed.

Okay which raid targets

Lure of Ice is 800 damage for 320 mana if memory serves. If each Wizard gets in 10 casts, that's 8000 damage in a minute. A full group is 48K HP which is significantly more than any Kunark raid target, even with VP dragon regeneration or Trakanon lifetaps or whatnot.

IIRC Dragonbanes do 2000 damage for 400 mana. Vulak has 1 million HP or so, and would need 600 casts or so (let's not be cheap with those peridots!) which would mean 240,000 mana. 50 wizards ought to do the trick.

The all wizard guild would cry during the crawl up to Vulak, though.

Would be fun to see. Has anything like this ever been tried on Blue? I imagine you'd have the player base there that would be required.

Wouldn't mind seeing 50-60 Wizards all together instagib a Kunark dragon either (they all start casting simultaneously)
