Yeah. Power and speed are not the same thing; the latter is but one component of the former. If speed was everything then rank people by the average DPS they do and, Bam!, you're done. EQ doesn't always work that way. Obsessing solely over maximum potential speed ignores other aspects of character strength such as staying power, ease of use, reliability, versatility, synergy with other characters, and realistic ceiling vs. absolute ceiling. A rogue can do higher potential damage than a monk can but by any reasonable metric the monk's the stronger character overall.

I still think rather poorly of wizards and probably rate them most underpowered, personally. It struggles to a unique degree to even accomplish its own primary role. If we disagree DSM, well, there's room in the world for that.
