That wiz alt can easily get to my group, and can port people to/from it too.

If the rogues, warriors and monks can Clarity, why would you waste a slot on a wizard?
Ok, say we nix the Clarity idea: how would you propose to buff Wizards while making as few changes as possible to the game?

Massively buff Harvest? Say, make it return 25% mana on a 3 minute recast? Introduce a new spell line of low mana, moderate damage nukes to give them some reasonable sustained DPS? (Shards of Dalaya did this). Add a droppable/easily obtainable Wiz nuke clicky that's comparable to the JBB/Burnt Wood Staff?

In other words, what would you have to add to Wizards to make them an attractive option to invite to your group? Because currently they offer nothing. Mages, Necros and especially Enchanters all offer substantially more. Wizards inarguably need something, so what could it be?
