Under certain circumstances anyone can be great DPS. If you want to throw any and every damage shield on a Ranger and give him every best buff in the game then he might have some good DPS too.
An enchanter using charm and a shaman using haste? Those things are not "the stars aligning."

A rogue or a monk with sham buffs? That is not "the stars aligning."

Two necros and a bard dedicated to do nothing but feed mana to a wizard IS "the stars aligning."

And yet, the enchanter, the monk, and the rogue will all still be doing more damage over time than the wizard, despite it taking a small miracle for the wizard to manage to do as much damage as he is.


THAT is why wizards are generally the worst option for an xp group. They have poor sustained DPS to begin with and it take more effort than it is worth to bring their sustained DPS to remotely competitive levels.


I'm not saying wizards are a terrible class, I'm just saying that you're a terrible player for thinking that your DPS, as a wizard, is good when it comes to an xp group setting.

Why are we having this argument over an easily measurable quantity? Houdiny, how about you turn /log on, download Gamparse, and post the results of one of your XP sessions. Then we will see who is right and who is wrong.
