Conjuror desired in raids ?

[Talaos]

<p>So, after reading about a few classes, sounds like conjuror is a blast...how desired in grps and raids are we ? If it helps I am on Ab server.</p>

<p>A <strong>good</strong> conjuror will give a run for his money to an <strong>average</strong> wizard DPS-wise.  So on equal skill, we are just one step behind them, but closer than we were in past expansions.  In general, I'd say filling a DPS spot with a conjuror isn't a waste.</p><p>Utility-wise, our raidwide buff is very nice, both for the other DPSers and tanks.  So once again, we have our usefulness on a raid.  Also, Elemental Toxicity is an AA groupwide buff that gives a damage proc for 15 secs (20 secs with a red adornment), kinda similar to Peace of Mind, and can do great DPS on AE encounters, in addition to an aggro reducer for non-fighters.  And the improved Sacrifice line allows us to play backup chanters when your raid is short on them (nowhere as effective, but it works - I've done that in an offtank group quite a few times in my previous guild who were often short on chanters).</p><p>If you are more into grouping than raiding, some of the AAs are also quite handy, for example the AA that gives your group a proc that has a chance to proc a stoneskin on melee attacks, like the dirge one.</p>

<p>Runes of Geomancy also allows for slightly more flexible offtank groups consisting of:</p><p>Off-tankCoercerTroubadorConjuror2x Others</p><p>Because Runes of Geomancy is essentially Percussion of Stone, it allows us to provide a significant defensive advantage to raid tanks without the need of a Dirge.</p>
