Wizards are high dps but are very dependent on mana... like most caster classes. As a druid personally I could never out dps a wizard. Druids are more of a utility class. Wizards are the best class for finishing mobs fast, it makes a big difference. Mages do more dps only because the pet. Mages nukes are near the same dps while lvling up but the higher a wizard gets the more difference there is their nuke dmg. Wizards are the only class that can port to several places, which include Sky and Hate. At lvl 49 a wizard can almost 1 shot 35-39 mobs. As a druid even in solb fighting a kobold it takes me a few nukes.
Wizards are no where near gimp, they are a very powerful class. But for that power they are very tough lvling up, especially solo. I honestly don't remember when they got quad snare, I always remember them having it. Playing a wizard is well worth it imo, they aren't really my personal style. But if you can actually lvl them up it's so worth it. And Wizards are even more useful in kunark/velious because having a few wizards per raid will up your dps by insane numbers. And in situations where you need to insta kill something, wizards can do it faster than anyone!
