Actually,

As a wizard we are not doing to bad. Get us the full set of support classes buffing us, removing our hate, have the tank have hate transferred on them, etc.

These are things we do almost every raid as a hardcore raiding class. The three wizards that often raid are usually #1,#2,#3 in most(but not all) parses.

Course my equipment is fully fabled, with lots of procing gear(missing a few, but have ring of supremecy, fitspitzles, etc). Plus use crit proc potion, fully AA specced for Raid DPS (AGI,WIS), lots o ft. troub in group. Every T6 and T7 spell master 1 or master 2(except portoferno and shackle)... Yep can duke it out with other wizzys for top spots. No necros in guild, conjurers do pretty well too.

Course us Wizzys die much more often than anyone else to do it... and we have to work hard for top parse position. But we are much better off than we were a few updates ago.

Been playing since day 2. Wizzys did rock at start of EQ2 (when we were AOE specialist.)..but that got nerfed cause who wants botters running 6 of one class as a group smoking things down.

Do think there are ways they could make our class more interesting. The fusion spell(no relation) is one way that added chaos/risk. Better DPS, at the risk of our lives, does help make the adrenalian flow, even if it brings humor to others, and deaths to us.

Yes we have more agro issues than other classes when doing similiar DPS, but at least we are parsing better than before.

do you run your own parser? and if so post those parse results in the parse thread you slacker! SMILEY I've been wanting to see the difference between me and a fully fabled fully mastered fully spell procce'd wizard (fully buffed and with 2 brigands) on a raid.

It would at least give me some hope. So far most of the parse postings in the wizard parse thread are all pretty close in terms of dps related to buffs.

I know theres gotta be another wizard out there in a full time raiding guild that plays just like I do but with better gear/spells/buffs/debuffs and kicks the living [Removed for Content] out of my parses, and thats what I'd like to see SMILEY
