That's true, Wizards do actually fill a real role that's important. Ironically the only time anyone has ever evac'd me was in the exact same scenario you just described (usually people are scared to evac). The reason I say Wizards is bad is because the other INT casters feel insanely powerful due to the nature of their pets. Would probably be pretty awesome playing a Wizard at high level though. I doubt they have as much competition for loot in raids.
Yeah, that's also another perk - low DKP for stuff while enjoying the class you play! Yes, Necros and Mages are far more superior in damagedealing, Mages get shittier in Kunark / Velious in terms of solo-ability, Necros get ridiculously good, and Wizard epic / quadkites become insanely good. Just check out the Pillar of Frost/Fire/Lightning line, efficient stuff.

Unrelated, but there was one encounter in CT where a Paladin decked out in full rubi and a Mith 2H said I should be the one pulling while I was keeping up Conflags on pulls for a good while because yes, I make a point to make friends with Enchanters, one grouped with me.

Dude called me a pussy and I just left the group, what a self-entitled prick.

Back on thread topic...hard to say, NEC/MAG/ENC are on an entirely different level compared to every other class in terms of soloing / damage dealing in Vanilla. Ranger or Rogue gets my pick.
