we are usually one rank ahead of the rest of the classes as far as dd goes.
the druids lvl 29 dd spell does about the same dmg as our lvl 20 and 24
spells (force/frost shock). the enchanters lvl 24 spell does less than our
lvl 20 spell. and also keep in mind that other classes dmg/mana ratio is
not near as efficient as the wizards. the wizards spells can also be cast
much quicker :) i can only speak of other classes up to about lvl 29,
because i havent grouped with anybody higher, or havent had first hand
knowledge of higher lvl spells. with that being said, i dont think that a
magician gets a spell that does 950 dmg. i think most of the classes dd
spells max out at around 500 to 550 at lvl 49 (which is a little lower than
what our lvl 44 dd spells do). please correct me if i'm wrong tho :)

ps. pets are highly overrated at higher lvls because of the grouping
requirements and the limited hunting areas... and in a big group in a
dungeon, u pretty much put the pets back in ur spell books :)
