The role of group wizards while levelling up

[bloodmuffin]

They will always be more effective soloing.

I leveled my wizard solo/grouping from 1-52ish. From 10-30 I spent the majority of my times in groups. My initial job is to just Root CC and finish off a mob so people don't have to snare/chase the mobs.

With Breeze or mana song you should have enough to root/nuke each mob. The downside is resists, you can get super unlucky and have just about every spell resisted on a even/yellow con in the early levels which dumps your manapool leaving you pretty useless. If I get resisted I usually give it another shot then give up and med that back until the next mob comes.

This will remain the same forever. You'll root CC only when needed, wait for the tank to establish agro, the dps put in some work, and then nuke out the final HP preventing running mobs. Occasional stuns for healing/wiz merbs.
