I have to sing the praises of smart Wizards (there are a few). I
occassionally get to group with a really bright Hong Kong player who is a
high level wizard. He plays his wiz in almost a clerical fashion and it
works quite well. The puller brings a mob and the wiz is medding. The
tanks begin to beat on the mob. When the mob gets sufficiently aggrod on
the tanks the Wiz stands and casts a nuke *bam* then sits his ass back down
and meds. After a few seconds if the tanks are having problems he'll stand
up again *bam* and sit back down. When mob flees he stands up *bam*, dead.
He never gets touched, he's medding the majority of the time and he stops
the runners. I make it a point to group with the guy when I see he's in my
zone.
