Is the wizard useless in such a situation? Of course not. But if you replace the wizard with a good enchanter, that pull is suddenly not only no problem, but good xp.

The discussion was about Wizard filling a DPS role. My lengthy post was to describe how a Wizard has benefits to bring to a party to compensate for its inferior DPS to other DPS classes. Wizard does not fill a crowd control role- and I am not arguing that. Enchanter has no relevance to this topic. This topic is about Wizard group DPS being inferior in groups. I wanted to point out to the OP that a wizard's inferior DPS can be offset by other options they bring to a group.

Most problem scenarios occur in the pulling phase or the crowd controlling phase. If something should go wrong such as unexpected adds or a series of unfortunate mez resists, a Wizard has some options to save the group that other DPS roles don't have.
