Feel like I'm not contributing much as a Wizard

It's a much more efficient use of your time than being the worst member of every group you join.

That being said, Wiz is one of the best classes for raid-focused players. This holds true all the way through Velious. If you enjoy raiding and contributing to a guild's progress (like other raid-focused classes like Warrior, Cleric, Bard, Rogue) but like a more independent playstyle and don't want a lot of in-game responsibility, Wiz is the perfect class. Pretty much no guild ever says, "We have too many Wizards on the roster."

Thanks for this. Yeah I should of done more research instead of just blindly picking a class. Still an incredibly shitty feeling to know that I'm a drag on groups no matter how well I play.

Unfortunately wizard as use alot of Mana for their spells, leaving alot of downtime. It's a long road to 50 but worth it. You'll be geared and rich.
