Wizard dps vs melee in groups?

[Grozmok]

I wanted to make a wizard a long time ago only for the ability to port friends. It also has the added bonus of not having to deal with people mooching SoW all the time. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Other than that, I ended up rolling a necro for sustained DPS. If you want to play a squishy and have insane DPS, necro or GTFO.

That's old thinking, dude:

Traditionally, necromancers were utilized long ago for their ability to transfer mana directly from themselves to a single other player character. This twitch line of spells is loathed by many members of the class as it requires the necromancer to cease all DPS (the main reason you keep them around) in order to give a very very small amount of mana to the recipient. Unfortunately...even today, the occasional ignorant raid leader will still send calls for necros to start twitching or pumping when clerics report LOM status. Simply ignore the requests and continue DPS'ing if you find yourself in this situation and odds are you will receive compliments for twitching anyways.
