Wizard dps vs melee in groups?

Reality check: no, they don't. A L60 wizard has 3000 mana and can do perhaps 12k damage in full burn mode. A L50 mob has 10k hp. If you pull 4 krup shamans, the wizard is not going to blast them all (or even two of them) away, or kite them with aoe snare. 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 simple fact is that I have no idea why there is an advertisement for a new PVP server on a thread about why wizards are . . . underpowered . . . in XP groups.

tldr: Got a Wizard? Then you'll be needing that Evac. lol

Inferior DPS doesn't create most trouble scenarios. Usually trouble comes from botched pulls and botched crowd control. Wizard has no role in either of these. Therefore; having a wizard in your party does not create evac situations.
