The best way I can sum up the entire argument here is by this:

Everquest is a marathon 99.9% of the time, and a sprint .1% of the time.

Wizards win the sprint.

Cheers.

Wow, what a read. My re-noob'd head is spinning.

Since we've established without a shadow of a doubt that wizards are not good (maybe), are there any casters that are good damage dealers in a group?

Caster DPS in general is kinda shitty until Luclin+, although it can be useful in certain situations. It's just not good for the kind of roles you'll want to fill in ordinary gameplay. I'd say the best group DPS caster is magician. Necromancers are actually alright too if the group doesn't have an enchanter. People just don't really look for mages and necros when they fill spots because they assume they're all out soloing somewhere, which is usually correct.

Even moreso when epics come out. Mage epic pet is a beast.

Sunstrike chain cast is 200dps...wizards are tops in raids. Ridiculous burst.

Sunstrike chain cast is 170-200 DPS, while mana permits, if it never gets resisted. Top raid targets resist more than half of the damage and it becomes worse in Velious, along with the hitpoints of monsters skyrocketing there as well.

^ reason why wizards were giving lures. Wizards are top for burning down any single target raid mob hands down, this can not be argued

Lol. Anyone who disregards another player as a waste of a slot because of lowered dps really should'nt play mmo's.

Worst groups by far are the ones where nobody talks, other then to say pull! or worse start criticizing someones dps contribution lol.

In WoW I played a healer and my girlfriend was a casual dps warrior. On heroics if peeps started to be nasty to her for her gearscore or dps I'd wait for a decent pull and we'd both leave n let em die. fun times.

How stat dps whores need to be treated.
