Should I retire my 60 wizard?

The only problem is if you are going to seek a class that is totally perfect, in high demand for groups and for raids, has no downfalls or weaknesses... you are s.o.l. and will never find one. Rogue and maybe warrior? But both these have some downfalls, and neither solo very effectively so you are completely dependent on finding groups to level, and raiding on them may be more like having a 2nd job sometimes than playing a game.

I remember when guilds just zerged mobs with manaburn back in the day on Veeshan it was like every guild that raided was recruiting 500 wizardzzzzz

Wizard are the best raid dps from Classic to Call of the Forsaken.

14 years of pure ownage, never challenged. Velious (with banes) being the arguably (some people will claim pre nerf Beams Era was even better) the Zenith of Wizard domination.

I recently duo'd with a monk 2 lvls higher than my ranger and I got the aggro every time even with him pulling. I didn't even cast on them. Its one of those classes thats only fun if you invest alot into gear

I killed Quillmane and got a cloak on my ranger at 29 because I arrowed him to death. So Rangers have that...

Grouped seb last night with my three stuns, sunstrike and c2 and bard, and it didn't seem it mattered how well I interrupted or reserved mana, it was a joke compared to any melee's sustained dps. Thinking of just stripping my character and rerolling. wtf were they thinking with this class, they had two fucking expansions to fix it. Someone give me a reason not to.

Retire is such an ugly word in this case. You can always keep your wizard fully geared and just bench him until the need for a wizard arises. Lots of us play multiple toons that are high lvl. I play chanter, cleric and druid that are 50 plus. Whatever im the mood to play that day...

Sustained DPS got better when they fixed rains (on live) so that the last wave didn't get resisted as much, and the pets didn't eat waves. I was surprised that they broke it intentionally on this server. We didn't match other dps classes after they fixed it, but we were not quite as mana bound and could contribute to exp groups more.
