Raiding Wizards will be in high demand throughout the life of Green. During Classic they're quite strong due to the low-HP of mobs. One Wizzy nuke is a solid 70% off a mobs healthbar. This will be quite useful in groups w the ability to burn mobs down quickly on bad pulls etc. They can also play a backup-CC role w their large number of Roots and Stuns.
Kunark is quite a bit tougher where your nukes start to only deal 25-30% of a mobs HP while consuming the same % of your Mana - making them less-than-ideal in groups. Again though, with the lack of available melee gear, I could see Wizzies getting groups in places like Seb alot more frequently than you see on Green.
Kunark raiding on the other hand Wizards really shine against the 32k dragons.
Quadding is VERY fast XP (especially if you keep C/C2 on yourself) and you can make alot of plat doing so, but it also tends to get quite boring.
The demand for ports to Hate and Sky will likely be higher than the supply of Wizards making them potentially quite lucrative for money-making (even on modern-day Blue I've had people offer my Wizard several hundred plat PER GROUP for ports to Hate)
