Bright wizard strength is of course damage. Also some crowd control - an area effect root (but most classes can break this), a single-target morale knock-back, and in the Immolation (damage over time) tree a 40% snare/channeled damage which works great on people trying to retreat.
Weakness - doing damage to themselves through explosions at high combustion. Explosion hits me 50% of the time for 550 at max combustion(level 29). However max combustion increases the chances of a critical hit and increases the damage of criticals. I would say an unhealed bright wizard probably does about half the damage of a well-healed one, especially in open RVR where having health below 70% is a flashing light saying *kill this one now*.
I just want to point out how much I love healers. And tanks to hide behind. And melee dps who tangle up the other side, get their health down and distract them so they don't notice the BW dots. And ranged dps...
Aims in ORVR - take out healers and ranged dps from range. Also anyone hitting my healers, and anyone low health. Put rain of fire on the stairs when defending a keep.
Tricks - find a shaman, whack some dots on to knock his health down and make sure he has lots of heals over time running, then cast Playing With Fire (immolation tree) which hits the healer on every heal over time tick. Then use my channeled damage/snare to slow him retreating out of range.
Finally, do I think bright wizards are overpowered? Yes, expecting either damage or utility to be toned down. Lot of fun in any case.
