You don't have to tell me. I played one until 59 on live during this era (63, if you count when I came back during PoP). My regrets about picking a wizard as my main are part of why I play here at all. They just don't do very much and what they do do is not really well suited for the XP grind that characterizes much of this game. Kunark era killed them, imo; their burst DPS was a decent tradeoff for their lack of sustain when melee had crappy weapons and mobs had crappy hp.
But if that's what the OP wants that's what they want. They do have some utility so it won't be as bad as all that. Have to level up a wizard somehow. And it is nice when you get to the very end and have Hsagra's Wrath and Porlos's Fury (expensive, though).

I actually think Velious was the worst for wizards. It's pretty much a melee xpac. I guess you are referring to leveling though. Wizards were great raid mob dps in Kunark.
I played a wiz on live. Velious high hpt non-bannable mobs don't work out well for them. However, when AAs came out and during PoP my wizard was awesome. At the top or in the top few of DPS charts on raids. Also had so much mana regen/mana conservation ability that I was viable dps for normal groups. However, quadding or AoE groups were also way better xp than normal groups. Geared wizards were pretty stellar during PoP. The prevalence of high end weapons here does make it harder for wizards leveling now.
My apologies to OP for a bit of derailment.
