What types of groups would burst dps have application?
At 39 a Wizard can nuke 400ish a pop. That's 25% of a lot of mid 30 mobs total hp. Is it just that mana regains to slowly in a faster paced group to be sustained? | ||

Mana regeneration is the issue.
They can blow up mobs, but are then out of commission for several more mobs while they med. Their primary strength, is on an over pull, that may wipe the group, they can help CC with Stun and root and snare, then blow all their mana killing off 1-2 mobs quickly to minimize the chaos of the pull. After doing that they med and do nothing else for the next 5-10 min.

As others said.. Wizards specialize in in doing a lot of damage in a short period of time. Take their damage output over a long period of time and it starts to look pretty shitty.
This is pretty easy to test. Add up all the damage a Wizard would do over 1 hour in a group and compare it to a Rogue, Monk, or Mage and you will see how laughably bad it is. Trust me dude, I'm a Paladin. I know about poor DPS. | ||

The shortest solution would have been to give wizards a scaling, magical version of backstab with a similar cooldown duration.

Raids! And ports!
Not so good for xp groups, but can solo easily, port and once you raid they are massive dps and a must have!

I like the idea of being able to do some cc in groups and dps like crazy over a short period of time. What is it about raiding that really let's a Wizard shine?

Also on this server gear is really easy to come by, and even an untwinked melee will have weapons that a player on live with equivalent playtime would gawk at. My warrior on live was dual wielding langseax until level 20 (6/23 1hs) I don't think I've seen a single one on this server. This has also helped to relegate wizards to the least wanted class in xp groups. | |||
