The thread was about AoEs...
Palis get abuncha outta combat ones and an aura that pulses kinda like our forge of ro. Well that got nerfed yesterday i think but in certain situations yes a pali can't out damage a wizard. Its all a matter of smart playing... Against a triple up no they can't but against abuncha smaller mobs then yes they can.
Problem about wizards AoEs is they take so long to cast that you gotta target the mob that the tank isn't on... and then its a dot so it doesn't do all that much damage since those mobs don't last long at all.
AoEs take way too long to cast and they weren't thought out at all imo..... If it takes 3 seconds to kill a mob why is an AoE taking 3 seconds to cast..... then on top of that being dot ticks the damage is really only useful soloing
Inferno and forge of ro is nice tho... and can really dish out the damage with it
