I agree in principle. Trouble is, this class has long since been culturally accepted as the lazy man and/or stoner class of P1999. It attracts unmotivated coattail-riders like flies to flytraps. It's unfortunate. I've long since become sick of Wizards who blaze away on a couple of monsters then go AFK for 10 or 15 minutes at a time. No, it's not the class's fault, but when practically all of them I group with over a period of years behave that way, eventually I start wanting nothing to do with it. In ten-plus years here I've known maybe four* who were worth anything. For quite some time I've restricted myself to only inviting Wizards when I know the player in advance, with good results. The class really can give good service when played by a player who wants to do so.
