I think that a wizard is most hindered one i dont know if on realy high lvs
40 + you have advantages for your weeknes with wich we start but other
magic classes are much stronger at early levels like until 20.

The main problem is that our class in not ovious time saver as i can say a
cleric saves downtime by faster healing, a bard also can do it a druid not
only this but can make for faster onland travel and is strong at DD and
majority of players is not near lv where wizard start to be useful as lv
when you have group travel. Only solution for this is some type of skill
advancment where you can choose at a creation of caracter some skills wich
will you develop throu play like AC but this is to be seen as it is
implemented. But i like to see this idea also only we must admit that
classes are not finalized until now, lets say magicians pets after 20 lv
where out of game research comes a little time ago, specizlization on wich
we look as last chance to save a gameplay for us is not implemented yet.
there is much to see and maybe it will look as good as it is in
introduction book :-)
The class solution against skill solutions can be made better, now there
are many many holes in sistem wich will need a time to get closed only is a
problem to see how many people will wait until then?
