Magician vs. Wizard now and in the future

Wizards have ice comet! With kunark they will get buffed like crazy thou, and with velious theyr giant / dragon bane spells are insanity ... wizards will eventualy evolve to the top caster DPS once kunark is released due to concussion (agro reduction) and nice effecient nukes ...

Yes mage nukes are currently "only" 400 dmg less (lvl 49 nuke does 800ish, ice comet ~1200ish), but are more mana costly ... in kunark that efficiency gap will get even bigger

Beside the fact that they can nuke for more (a lot more), wizards also have nukes on 3 resists while mages only have 2, have better AEs by far, and have nukes with resist mods or flat out unresistable nukes.

Yeah, thanks, I thought for sure there was something I wasn't remembering that helped separate Wizards.

Thanks for the input all.
