Will wizards be viable and wanted? Always wanted to wizard but never liked how they are not top desired in exp group. How will green make that different?

Wizards don't get any buffs, but some other folks get a few indirect nerfs. Melee won't have good weapons and other gear, meaning less damage (and possibly more healing needed). Pet casters lost some UI features they are used to. Charmers won't have hit point or charisma gear or spellgem clickies for quite a while. NPCs in classic era have fewer hit points. Caster NPCs will be relatively more dangerous to already-weaker groups. The world is smaller, but there aren't dozens of druid alts all over the world waiting to port you to your destination 24/7.
All these things increase the relative appeal of the things wizards bring to the table.
I'm not sure how many people who tended to shun wizards on blue will really process all of this. But I know *I* would be more happy to see a wizard in my group on green than I would have been on blue.
