The description of Blizzard states "Multiple casts in the same area do not stack."
What if there are two Wizards in my party? Will each of their Blizzards deal damage, or only one?

Even if more than one Wizard casts Blizzard in an area, there are still "multiple" casts in the same area, therefore the damage does NOT stack.

Brant and I have just tested this, and it appears that Blizzard does stack between different Wizards, much like any other DoT or effect stacks per player.
This means you'll never be penalized for having the same class as a party member, which is always a good thing.

Get answers to practical, detailed questions
Focus on questions about an actual problem you have faced. Include details about what you have tried and exactly what you are trying to do.
Ask about...
- Gameplay strategies and tactics
- Puzzle solving or obstacle clearing
- Game mechanics and terminology
- Plot and characters in games
- Game-specific hardware and utilities
Not all questions work well in our format. Avoid questions that are primarily opinion-based, or that are likely to generate discussion rather than answers.
Questions that need improvement may be closed until someone fixes them.
Don't ask about...
- Anything not directly related to gaming
- Requests for game identification or recommendations
- Questions that are primarily opinion-based, speculative, or gossipy
- Questions about pirating games, or support for a game you've pirated
- Questions with too many possible answers or that would require an extremely long answer
Improve posts by editing or commenting
Our goal is to have the best answers to every question, so if you see questions or answers that can be improved, you can edit them.
Use edits to fix mistakes, improve formatting, or clarify the meaning of a post.

This has been proved false with testing. Only blizzards cast by the same wizard do not stack with each other. - Raven Dreamer Jul 8 '12 at 16:39
