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.

If you think Wizards aren't up to snuff with burst dps it would make more sense for that to be improved than complain about their sustained dps.

The former is what I advocated...

Of course, their sustained DP, or rather the efficiency of their nukes during their prime uptime, needs to be increased as well. If you only increase their burst DPS (directly multiplying the mana cost and damage of their spells by the same amount from what they currently are in game), they still aren't good enough because of how inefficient it would be; they wouldn't be able to burst frequently enough.

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

can't beat a wizard for spike damage.

If you absolutely need something dead in a few secs.. get a wizard.

Enchanters bring strategic crowd control.

Wizards bring strategic crowd elimination.
