Everyone gets 1 shotted from other wizards xD
Except maybe a blader or a Euro tanker.
I used to play this wizard/warrior build, reached lv3x it was pretty good actually I pwned the mobs and as a wizard you don't really need the defense anyway except against the mobs, for pvp you either 1-shot kill or get 1-shot killed <<--- that was my theory
But to answer your question I don't think it lowers your damage, I was dealing damage as good as other wizards; I remember comparing myself.
I was a lot slower though and my mana ran out quicker (no robe = no 20% speed, no 20% mana saving)
