Two exceptions are AE groups - 56ish and up, you'll enjoy the best EXP in the game at those levels ...

a very boring class and even versus raid bosses they are not necessarily as good as a rogue in every situation.

to manage their aggro ... wizards have is concussion, which will straight up fail to land 100% of the time

PBAE groups are the schiznit. You can PBAE group at lower levels but few organize these.

Stun and silence on some boss mobs sucks, but so does ae slow from like Gorenaire for rogues. In general the wizard is almost as valuable as a rogue on raids. I don't think we outdamage the rogues but it gets close.

Concussion becomes more useful in Velious, where it both works and is needed because of the huge amount of hps the mobs have. In Kunark you wait until the tank has aggro and then just unload until you or the mob dies. You only get aggro yourself if you are low HP (healer fail) or the tank dies.
