Advice on Wizardry
Well, I checked out the server pop numbers in another thread recently, and Wizards are about where I expected (damn near last). I played one to 34 or so back in the day but that was during LDoN or somesuch. I know it's probably a lot more brutal in classic.
I'm not a diehard poopsocker or anything, so I'm not looking to get into the high end raiding scene, or try to be the first to hit level cap or whatever. Should I go for it? How are people currently playing Wizards finding the server thus far? Are you getting passed up for groups? Any advice from people who've played a Wizard in this era is greatly appreciated.

Don't. People won't invite you to groups unless you form them. And with most camps taken, good luck with that! You're a gimped magician who, until he dings 50, has very little to offer. Yeah, people will want you to port them around, but they also will shun you when it comes to grouping.
But if you like going afk for extended periods of time like, always, go for it!

It's a great class to play while at work. Use whole mana bar to nuke one mob, med for 10 minutes and do some work, repeat.

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. | ||

It's not for everyone, but if you're going to play a wizard, now is the time.
