Probably the only thing I can say negative about the wizard class is they get to port only to Greater Fay, Tox Forest, and North Karana at level 29..
So you gotta grind till 34 in order to actually port your duo partners/groups somewhere you might *actually* want to go to kill stuff for loot/xp.
Well, that and nobody is wandering around Norrath saying "man we need a wizard" and just about 90% of PUGs are secretly wishing for an off-healer(the other 10% are desperate for any healing besides a mage with max bind wound).
Wizards are good dps. The only caveat is that this server is up to it's armpits in necros and mages, and you can't go more than 5 feet without tripping over *really* good dps classes.
One other bonus to wizard i forgot to mention: Caster gear is cheap and in abundance for a player just starting out. The Priest gear is much rarer to see in EC and the prices are usually jacked up accordingly. You'll see 30 batskull earrings before you see a RMB or Gator legs/etc..
