That's true, Wizards do actually fill a real role that's important. Ironically the only time anyone has ever evac'd me was in the exact same scenario you just described (usually people are scared to evac). The reason I say Wizards is bad is because the other INT casters feel insanely powerful due to the nature of their pets. Would probably be pretty awesome playing a Wizard at high level though. I doubt they have as much competition for loot in raids.
On the subject of insanely powerful pets you seem to have forgotten a wizard can summon an eye of zomm to use as a dart board while bored waiting for someone to send a tell for a port for some stupid venture like helping to recover a failed hate break in (where you’ll spend more on stones than you receive as payment).

Ranger has a million root spells. Against mobs that don’t summon they have very little excuse for taking hits beyond they want to.

Yeah, it always baffles me too. A Ranger could insure tank always has aggro by rooting mob and stepping back a bit, but very few have any concept of this, and trying to explain it to them just means they'll get angry and start raging. No one in this game likes being told how to play their class, even if they're playing it completely wrong. Watched a Bard explode on someone the other day because they asked if they could interrupt Justicar's when they healed.

There aren't any truly bad classes. Only bad players.

Kinda, but only a bad player would choose to play a wizard!

I mean, level 50 Wizard probably has a way more realistic chance of raiding and receiving loot? I had a lot of friends who rushed to 50 on an Enchanter and quit the game after seeing the raid scene, apparently they would be in raids with 15 other enchanters, meanwhile their guilds would barely have enough Wizards to teleport in?

at least the wizard could beat the warrior sitting there with naked legs under is barbarian kilt, in a duel while they both waited for groups 100% of the time. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If it was 1999, and everyone was trying this game out for the first time, the correct answer is:

Warrior

That class was a trashcan and anyone who played one back then knows it, it was so sad. Everyone would throw coins at the poor warriors sitting there by the shore of the oasis trying to find a group.

Their only dps is auto attack.

Nobody knows how to do anything

They're confused why all these other classes can wear plate and cast spells, they are alone.

Warrior

in 99

Was by far the worst class.

But are they in classic with what we know now? idfk.
