Before i quit, as a level 54 warrior, with max 255 strength, and chanter haste...

And the every hit is a critical hit discipline, dual wielding wurmslayers....

I was quadding in the 500's lol for 30 secs with crippling blows lol.

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.

Oh, I guess the spectra doesn't backstab. I'm assuming it does more damage then the backstab pet?

Without any personal experience, I'd say yes, given its overall higher hits and higher pet level.

Which is wrong. It was not like this in classic. My warrior dps was pretty pathetic.

As for mages, people always forget to factor the damage shield. Which in a group setup with constant pulling, deals a huge amount of damage.

Fully buffed, I do about 85 dps average as a warrior. Over 100 while discing.

Most groups I don't even really need proc weapons anymore as I hold aggro by straight up doing 35-45% of the damage each fight.

In classic, very few warriors had 1handed weapons with a dmg higher than 10-11. Yet alone 255 str.

Plus, he's dual wielding 1handers with 25dmg on them.

I wish I could see a parse that included DoT damage and such.

Sure they did. Wurmslayers were always easy to get, as well as 255 str.

Just parse your own...

CoT+Wurmslayer was a very popular combo, on my server, during kunark time period.

Yeah.. when I say classic I think classic... ie: not Kunark. Kunark is kunark, not classic.
