Wizards suk for sustained DPS, but are awesome at burst DPS.....it's situational - but a situation that comes up frequently in XP groups.

Not only that but stuns, roots, etc.

Additional CC via Flux staff/root/rune basically means I can root park mobs and require little (if any) healing.

The ability to evac is nice to.

But when you pull 5 mobs and ENC/CLR were lom to begin with - you need shit dead quick. A WIZ would make the diff between a corpse run and a med break heh.

There's a lot you can do to break the mold and make yourself a viable group member as a WIZ.

Nuke/med is just underplaying the class IMO. I love my stuns. They are so useful - allowing CLR to get that extra 3 secs on a CH when things go south. Allowing the ENC to get their pets under control etc. The burst DPS is also great. Utilize all yer damn spells. Not just Draught of Wtf-ever-you-have.
