I was in a group with 3 wiz, and enchanter, bard, cleric (me). Several years ago. Seemed to work out nice vs lizard clerics in CThule.
Is it optimal? Nope. Was it sufficient to basically clear that small temple to the left of the zone in, yeah.
At some point a well put together group just kills all the spawns it safely can, and no it may not be the best exp in game, but it's nice. Wizards are cool in the right settings / groups.
Are they a lazy class, yep.
That being said I think necroo is way more versatile. I've got mine up to lvl 12 now, just hanging around the bushes in unrest killing a few beetles here and there with a blue pet, exp is decent, and I just overdot because I tend to afk longer than I med.
My only time I grouped I saved the cleric with dark empathy while the ench got cc down and my pet almost killed us all. None of my spells would land rly because I was too low.
Was a fun 30 minutes or so, and back to the hedge.
I think resists hurt wiz a little bit less in a group than other classes because their nukes are fast casting and efficient.
