endangered classes?

[JurisDictum]

I don't really see a lot of wizards. If I was starting from scratch its probably what I'd roll. They're decent in groups, solo, and can make money with ports. Wizard's are also amongst the least gear dependent classes; and you can always reroll a melee or tank after farming money on a wizard at a higher level.
Wizards are highly sought after for raids. There is a lot of raid gear for wizards in the game as well. So if you eventually want to raid at all, wizards are one of the best choices.
