Wizards are arguably the worst class in P99 right now. If you roll one at this point, you're either a masochist or plain bad.
With melee damage being the way that it is, with charms being the way that they are and with a plethora of other things, wizards are currently unable to fulfill their primary role to any reasonable degree: DPS. As of right now, almost every melee will out DPS you, almost every class that can charm will out DPS you. Draughts are too resistable, lures are mana inefficient for non-bosses and rains are broken. Quad kiting is viable, but honestly, if you want to solo, roll something else... The one saving grace are PBAEs, but good luck finding the enchanters willing to sacrifice normal group exp/loots in order to group with a bunch of shitty wizards and AE stuff.
As far as the druid comparison goes: Druid charm is currently broken to the point where you can pretty much permanently keep a charmed pet. Druids can do everything that a wizard can do and then some - with the exception of lures. Druids can port, sow, have damage shield, heal, regen, buff... lol.
Yeah, don't roll a wizard until damage is fixed.
