You're a fantastic soloer until about 54/55 (provided you can find sow, know where to go, etc).
But you're damn useless unless you're in an AoE group (I forgot that one) or raid. You have lower sustained dps in a traditional group than any other class and have less traditional group utility than any other class. Quote:
You're also garbage at farming stuff for the most part. You can quad seafuries (if open) for good cash, but if you want to farm stuff in a dungeon setting you're not well equipped. Beating heavy hitting, fairly resistant mobs who will resist a couple roots simply isn't nearly as easy as it is for pet classes. | |||

(somewhere in between for Ogres) 40% on dark elves, humans, erudites etc. I played a wizard through Velious-PoP, was it Luclin that introduced crit blasts? They were awesome - always a nice sight [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | |||

Regarding your goal of obtaining a class epic, Paladin is the only class that can obtain the epic without being in a top raiding guild or spending 500k-1mil plat.

Don't play a wizard unless you're sure it's what you want to go with - they're super-boring and not great in groups (outside of specialized groups like bard duos or AE groups). Go SK or Necro if those are two you're leaning towards, both are quite versatile. SKs are excellent tanks in standard EXP groups and passable soloers, while necros are excellent soloers and passable contributors to standard EXP groups. Paladins are also excellent tanks but are not great at soloing.

Rangers are great and can tank mobs just fine if you wear high ac gear, snap and solid aggro make them very nice. In fact if your group has a slower a druid or necro can tank xp mobs.
The xp penalty stinks but its great to be able to snare and sow, and lev, and eb, and buff, and heal, and dps, and dot, and kite, and root, and taunt, and sneak. | ||
