OP Harm Touch / Pets / Monk fists don't count :/. Nor does their loot system. They had post revamp PoFear/Hate/Sky loot from the get go.

Warping past trash, other various exploits.

The melee vs wizard debate just hinges on the encounter. A rogue dishes out more than a wizard if the fight is of some duration--i.e.,Doze, Statute of RZ, NTov. Wizards simply come out ahead in the shorter fights. Zland, Kland, Vindi etc.

Are rogues unquestionably the best dps in velious? Yes. Does a wizard out damage a rogue on Zlandicar? Absolutely. It's just the basic way the relative strengths of the classes are setup. Velious wizards dealt 15k in a heartbeat. Eight sunstrikes on a respectable velious mana pool of 3,600. Yet like the archetypal hare, wizards then absolutely dropped off the table after depleting their mana. The rough parallel can made to the sports world. Rogues are the soccer players, effective and consistent throughout a match. Wizards are the football players--dominate in short bursts, but depend on periods of rest to keep performing at a high level.
