Its not even that bad a DPS class in classic. It's in fact not a DPS class at all. You have a job to delete threats with burst damage. You are an artillery piece. Artillery isn't something you roll into the castle to take it, and you don't roll it up to a hill to take a hill.. but you do blow the fuck out of things so that the other pieces can take the territory. Its not thought of properly in an MMO setting usually. In a raid, that's pretty important, and in a group environment, deleting a mob can often be more effective then a very wide mez dance an Enchanter is struggling to hold.
Their function weakens in Kunark and Velious, but its still there anyway.
I'm really pro wizard.
