Hero of raid DPS and chardok. Take pride in that.

Wizards are pretty good, a nuke will generally do about 50% of a mobs hp

0 content in this game is difficult enough to warrant not inviting whatever class is available in whatever gear they happen to have on.

I've seen an underleveled warrior tank Sebilis bar/chef in full crafted with a shaman healer (without torpor) on this server. This game is not hard. Period. Have fun, /ignore anyone who's an idiot, and enjoy the beauty that is classic EQ.

I'd take a wizard over a Hybrid any day. As long as they know HOW to play a wizard in a group. If they mob flees at 18%, nuke them at 60% and save the group some heals. Learn which spell to cast on certain mobs, you have magic, cold, and fire to choose from. A resist means more down time. Always have some mana to spare incase shit hits the fan and you need to nuke down a trouble making mob or evac. Have a stun ready if you are in a zone where there are priest type mobs. And if the group pulls an easy mob, just let your melee melt it down and save for the mob that would other wise cause your group more down time. It has nothing to do with dmg per mana, its burst dmg. Your there to keep the flow of the group going. Not to be a dps god. Learn your resists. Learn your agro. Learn your CLASS!

Be more than DPS?

you are shit at DPS. find something else. My wizard is often eye pulling, CC'ing, lining up pulls, kiting stuff etc for group. Active on stuns, mega active on bind sight tracking through to find nameds if no tracker in group, whilst still being very close to as efficient as a sit nuke sit nuke wizard, who is a waste of time.

SO many tools at your disposal.

Even with all of these I feel bad grouping on my wizard because there are so many other classes that can do that stuff more efficiently.

Quadding through the high 50s is painful. 54 right now and each quad in GFay guards is 1% or less.
