Wizard, when do they turn the corner?

What you've heard here is pretty much dead on. Wizard sustained dps is really poor in a traditional group unless you get a nice clicky dd robe (rend robe from VP or conflagration robe from Velk) and those really aren't available pre-60. We're great on raids, and I found quadding to be pretty enjoyable, but don't expect much love in the grouping scene.
