Playing a Wizard in a group

[sajbert]

Got a 60 wiz. Practically never grouped to 60 but never needed to either.

Even with VP robe (60ish mana free DPS), VP staff and Epic I've literally gotten ghosted by Seb groups in trash gear. Like someone invites you and you show up, "oh a wizard ..." and they don't invite you and start crawling down.

Tbh, with a VP robe you can deal a fair bit of sustain and big nukes, roots and stuns can stabilize a bad pull and keep mobs from gating.

Before that however you are sort of useless, Wizards just have no sustained DPS. If I had to try I'd use low level root and stun, try to get some melee swings in because that's probably better DPS than what mediation and nuking would get me. Keep an eye on gating mobs and runners and nuke em or stun em. Make sure there'as mana for an evac.
