ranger has harmony, snares, and mini heals

hope this heps

Harmony only works outdoors. Paladins can lull indoors and outdoors, heal, and res. Generally speaking you don't need snares in a group. Just root and destroy. And if you do need snares, you bring a Shadowknight, who can also FD pull, which takes the place of lulling when pulling.

nah wizards are the NPC you're escorting.

If ranger had some long cast single target DD's that played the shooting an arrow animation when they cast it, doing big DPS, I think they would be a completely fixed class.

Looks like the staff finally intervened and saved Tunabros from him/herself. Hope this helps.

Root is the best spell in game. Wizards get it earliest. Wizards best group class.

wizards being active in a group is contrary to the entire book idea, because it trains them to just not even be involved in the fight until they are ready to DPS

the problem is they should have had clarity instead of enchanter.

It'd be nice if they had the ability to buff melee with extra magic damage from their weapons.

That's something an enchanter should have been able to do. Literally enchanting weapons and armor, right? Not sure where that would leave magicians and their gear summoning though.

Wizards get crack and magical DPS, enchanters get mez, charm and gear enchanting. Why was it not done this way...

For a pretty understandable reason, actually:

Enchanters didn't have clarity, either, at first. Out the gate when EQ was brand new, groups didn't chain-pull and killsteal was a real problem. Wizards actually fared okay in that environment. Meanwhile not too many folks were playing with charm yet and the enchanter was commonly regarded as one of if not the worst class in the game. Hence a few months later it got the band-aid.
