Wizards don't fit well into the 6-man template people hold for when looking for groups.

If you use your noggin and think about some things you or even they can do you'll find many useful applications.

Ya like using an epic + manastone or a cleric + wizard + mana stone in old world

A necro can heal for free here unlike live so you don't even need an epic if you got a necro buddy

I wish P1999 had a Non-Classic server where changes and additions were implemented that made the game better and allowed for better class balance, etc. As it stands now, certain classes like Wizard and Paladin are essentially useless.

Well now that you are level 4 and have a handle on the class how can I argue?

Anyone can create and host their own EQEmu server. Will play when you are ready to open it.

Play a wizard if you enjoy it! I felt I didn't feel much like a wizard until my first self-ports at lvl 20 I believe. Nukes feel stronger then as well, though resists will have you gritting your teeth. I found that I hadn't fallen in love until my first AE snare.

At 29 I began quadding solo, and never looked back. It becomes most efficient at lvl 34, however the levels come quick while quadding. During an unhealthy playtime stretch I could make 3-4 levels in a day at the right spots, and enjoy most of my time doing it. The lvl 30ish wizard quests are quite fun to complete as well.

You will likely not be first choice for groups, but you have utility. Wizards are burst DPS, which allows us to shine during raids. While grouped you will not offer sustained DPS like that rogue or monk that is with you. That is OK. Utilize your stuns and roots. That one great save that was due to your utility spells may leave such a positive impression that next time the group will be asking YOU to join them. Maybe...

Later in the game you will be welcomed for your Evac ability. Allowing groups to delve deep in to a dungeon with less of a concern of leaving a corpse behind. Your group gate spells also allows for your group to maneuver quickly to new hunting grounds. Keeping the group from falling apart while running/seeking ports. Your great burst DPS will help to burn down that named mob your group has been working for. Late game you are wanted for AE groups. The most infamous AE group being Chardok, but there are other "small time" AE groups else there. There has been talk about Sebilis AE after the last patch (maybe) fixed pathing issues.

^ Most of this doesnt sound fun to you? Best to try out another class before you waste too much of your time!

*edit* Oh, also, don't feel you need to burn all of your mana each pull with the exception of quading. In fact, that is normally the wrong way to play Wizard. I am not saying to sit there and do nothing as you'd give us all a bad name. Keep a reserve of mana when you can for that moment your group needs something dead quick, those three mobs rooted asap, that CHeal interupted, or that evac to safety. Well-formed groups find their DPS primarily in melee.

QFT

the difference between a well played wiz vs a afk most of the time wiz is huge; unfortunately through my play experiences most of them are the ladder

Wizards don't come up on melee parser

Are deemed useless

I sense a lot of raid "DPS" that can't port (or porters that can't dps or effecively heal raid tanks heh heh heh) round here
