I am maining a wizard right now, made it to level 45 which is where my other best attempt (a mage) is also at. Rerolled on Green about 50 times, including some other attempts at wizard, before finally managing to stick with this one.
I don't know what the future is going to hold but I am honestly having a lot of fun right now. Felt godlike once I got my snare, jboots and staff of tempflux. Killed my first ice giant ever last night. I do like the fact that I can just dump my mana and go AFK for a bit in the span of minutes. Thank goodness for Netflix, Hulu and YouTube. xD
Ports too are another matter. I was surprised at how much people value them. Honestly figured folks would clamor more for druid ones given their ability to send them on their way with a SoW. But I have ported a lot with this wizard and I genuinely feel useful doing so.
The one downside to the class in my experience is their lack of group desirability. I honestly haven't been asked to come to one dungeon in all my 45 levels thus far. It did make the Tempflux staff quest hard and I had to cheat with my retired mage to get that done. As someone who would like to one day see what some of the higher end dungeons look like (Hole, LGuk, SolB, Sebilis, etc) that is a genuine concern. But on the plus side, they are highly desired for raids, so maybe I could just one day get decked out in raid gear and go explore SolB on my own with that, lol.
But all in all I think I made the right choice. I'm taking this wizard as far as I can.

Hit me up on my SK Valessar once I get in the 40's and I'd be happy to group with you in Lguk, Sol B, deep Kaesora, Dalnir, etc. My gear means I do pretty well soloing in these places but I usually pick up whatever lfg's or soloers I find and make ad hoc groups. If you're on blue, that is
Classic EQ was never about the most efficient comp, it was about picking up whoever was LFG next to you lol. But wizards are among my favorite leveling companions when I make an alt. It's so nice to be able to jet off to explore a far flung dungeon and easily replace group members once there. They are also good at controlling casters with their stuns and burning down bad pulls.
