Merger is just a wishful fantasy that most seem to have given up on. It could be tomorrow or maybe never.

Even if they merge, there needs to be a fresh for it to impact you choice.

Wizard also has nothing to gain from fresh other than farming manastone which no shitting you was a 2-4 day non-stop camp and the item is pretty useless even for wizards and mostly a status symbol/gimmick. Oh yeah, there's guise in classic which is neat but pointless if you are already a dark elf wizard.

On the flip side it's WAY easier to get VP keyed and to get ur Epic now.

As for leveling, wizards solo 1-60. If you don't want to solo and AFK a lot, don't pick a wizard.
