Necro vs Wizzy. Which brings more to a group?

[Izmael]

But really, what counts is the person behind the screen. I'd rather take a wizzie who is a good chap fun to hang with and knows EQ to a decent extent than some great DPS class but who has a shit personality (we all know these kinds).

They aren't exactly the same as mez will break to any damage while stun won't and maybe other little minor details, but other than that I don't know what's so different between stun and mez, but would be glad to learn. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If your group is beating on something, mezz will only be useful if its a caster about to cast something that will hurt. Stuns are good to use in more situations.

Mezz has a bit more use in cc situations. Like if you're overwhelmed with caster add(s).

Stun is great if your group wants to beat on something and take overall less punishment which makes everything else more efficient. Shaman/Enchanters don't have to slow as much, Clerics don't have to heal as much ect... Classes like that can, in turn, focus on DPS themselves and really turn your group into quick killing machines that take minimal damage.

I think mez is just a fragile long duration stun (with a chance to mem blur)? I think the difference is in practice, rather than any technical difference?
